Caring and Reliable Aussie Pet Sitter

36, Social Worker

Hello!!

I'm Whitney from Australia.

I am a 36 year old, solo (non smoker) recently qualified social worker who loves nature and adores animals.

I am heading to the UK in October 2024 on a 2 year working holiday visa. I plan to be mostly based in Scotland, with plenty of visits to various European/UK countries as well.

Before embarking on my overseas adventure I lived in Melbourne, Victoria, working as a case manager in a young woman's domestic violence refuge while completing my Master of Social Work degree.

During 2023/24 I completed my final social work placement in Melbourne, Australia, and being unpaid I made the decision to roll the dice and move out of my rental house and pet sit full time in order to offset the financial burden.

I had no idea just how life changing this experience would be! I've had the absolute pleasure of getting to know and love so many cats, dogs, chickens and even frogs. The only down side is getting VERY attached and then having to say goodbye.

I've made many new friends, both furry and human, and I'm immensely grateful to be entrusted with so many precious little ones and their homes - something I do not take lightly.

So, as I make my way around beautiful Scotland and surrounds, I would love nothing more than to continue house/pet sitting, spending endless hours playing, walking, cuddling and learning from some adorable pets, while getting to know the country.

Thank you for reading

Whitney was a very friendly cat sitter, who looked after my 2 cats very well and kept me in touch by sending me photos of them looking content. I would recommend her wholeheartedly.

Couldn't have asked for more. We had regular updates of our cat , the house was spotless on our return and even had clean bed sheets. Whitney communicated with us before the house sit and during and we wouldn't hesitate to book her again

We couldn't have asked for a better experience leaving our babies for the first time. Our cats are quite demanding, but Whitney ensured they felt loved and comfortable. Communication was outstanding, keeping us updated on everything, including a gas issue she discovered and promptly addressed, saving us from a serious problem. Returning home to a spotless house was a pleasant surprise. Our cats adored Whitney they were happy, well-adjusted and clearly missing her after we returned. Whitney's ... MORE

Whitney was an absolute dream. She took care of our Groodle, two cats, and fish to such an extent that we can see them pining to have her back. The house and garden looked great upon returning. Excellent communication throughout the trip, keeping us updated but allowing us to enjoy the time we were away with the trust she instilled. Definitely recommend Whitney!!
 
SOPHIE (Reservoir VIC, Mar 2024 - 1 month 1 week) From Aussie House Sitters
I would highly recommend Whitney as a house and pet sitter. Our cat Luna was very well looked after, the house was clean and Whitney sent updates during the stay. I would definitely have Whitney stay again in the future and recommend her to others.
 
MILLY (Hampton East VIC, Dec 2023 - 2 weeks 1 night) From Aussie House Sitters
Whitney was such a good house sitter, I almost don't want to rate her highly so she is available every time we go on holidays. Faced with the task of 2 attention seeking Cockerspaniels, a cat who doesn't care if you exist unless its meal times and 5 chooks, Whitney kept them all perfectly happy while we were gone. House was NOT burned down on arrival home, and even cleaner than we left it. would highly recommend, (but not really leave her alone, our family wants her to ourselves).
