Hi! I'm a cat whisperer and animal lover- keen on sitting in Europe

About this sitter

Hi! My name is Steph (47y) and I've had cats my entire life. I was a foster cat mum for a couple of years, as I work volunteeringly at the animal sanctuary where I also walk the dogs. I hold a dog walking lizence ,) and a first aid course for cats. I've done a lot of pet sitting, mainly in Australia as a helper and wwoofer. But I've also worked for food and accomodation in animal sanctuaries around the world. (South Africa, Tansania, Lesotho, Vanuatu, Hawaii, New Zealand, Europe, Canada, US...)
I can send the 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 as a foreign language and art teacher and have my own art & ceramic exhibitions. I love to do pottery and other screative things. Check out Instagram: stephaniebollian :)

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. I was a forster cat mum for many years, and also walk dogs at the shelter.
As I'm new to this homepage I don't have any references - as a sitter yet (I do have some as a home owner, as I always have cat sitters from mindmyhouse) but I can send you the references of wwoofing and helpXchange via Email, if you'd 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 time this August. 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! :)
