Hi! I'm a cat whisperer (cat behaviorist) and animal lover

About this sitter

Hi! My name is Steph (47y) and I've had cats my entire life. I was a foster cat mum for several years, an I work volunteeringly at the animal sanctuary where I also walk the dogs, socialize cats and find them forever homes. I also provide clicker training.
I hold a dog walking lizence ,) a first aid course for cats and became a cat behaviorist not long ago.
I've done a lot of pet sitting, mainly here in Germany and also in Australia as a helper and wwoofer. I've also worked for food and accomodation in animal sanctuaries around the world, for example with cheetahs in South Africa. (also in Tansania, Lesotho, Vanuatu, Hawaii, New Zealand, Europe, Canada, US...)
I can send references to you via email if you'd like me to.
I've built my kitty a little runway on may bedroom wall, and lately as well one straight under the ceiling. She loves it!- check out the pics! :)
At home I'm a German I'm a honorary lecturer, so I provide trainings such as German as a foreign language and art and have my own art & ceramic exhibitions and online shop: www.stephaniebolliankeramik.com.

Why they want to house sit

I love to be in Australia but also Europe and so far I've always done helpxchange and wwoofing (for round about 25 years), but as I always have cat sitters for my own cat via mind my house I thought this would be a great opportunity for me too!
I'm very tidy, reliable and hands on. So I can look after your pet as well as after your garden and after your house. I'd love to go to Sydney, as I havn't experienced the city and its beaches yet!

Their experience

I have own cats since I'm little. I've done 25 years of wwoofing and helpxchange and in this time I was looking after pets, such as cats, cheetahs dogs and rabbits, but also horses, goats, sheep, cows, alpacas, donkeys and chucks.
I love all kind of animals but the strongest connection I do feel with cats and dogs.That's why I became a cat behaviorist.
I can also send references from other homepages (wwoofing / helpx) if you' like to.

What can they bring to the assignment

I would love to come to do some cat sit and look after your pets and house for about 2-3 weeks during the German school holidays. As I now work in a public school setting I can't be away for too long. - And - I also have to arrange a cat sitter for my own cat, when I'm abroad, and don't wanna be seperated for too long.... ,o
I can also teach German and art & children facepaint, if this would be interesting for you! :)
