The Contented Kitty - Cat Sitting

ROSIE

How picture perfect is Rosie? Don’t even get me started on her amazing markings? Rosie has the sweetest softest nature and it was an absolute pleasure to recently provide her twice daily visits.

Her pawrent let me know that Rosie is very timid and unsure around new people, and it can take her quite a while for her to feel comfortable.

I am sure she remembered me from our meet & greet, because by our 2nd visit she was rubbing against my legs and following me around as I did my chores.

She loved playing with her sushi toy near her favourite cardboard box. She also loves having the tv on during the day. By my last visit we were having so much fun together. I hope to see you again soon🐾

SOPHIE

How much do you love Sophie’s beautiful colour & markings? We had the best time together during my recent daily visits.

Sophie enjoys having access to outside and inside. I loved that she happily came inside when I visited.

I was told she can be shy and wary of strangers and I may not see her when I visit. So I was absolutely delighted on my 2nd visit that Sophie happily came up and soaked up all the pats & brushes she could get. She has the sweetest temperament.

By my last visit, she was so comfortable to follow me inside to enjoy her food and soak up the attention. She is a gorgeous girl🐾

ELVIS

I had the best time caring for beautiful Elvis. He loved his twice daily visits with lots of fun & play utilising grocery bags, cardboard tunnels & the feather wand. He equally loved brush-time too. Elvis is a beautiful sleek tabby cat who has a strong hunting instinct. He loves watching the birds from the back door.

Elvis was a little stand-offish on my first visit, but by my last he happily greeted me and came up asking for pats and jumped up on the bench to let me know when he wanted to play. He is a beautiful inquisitive and intelligent boy.

Hope to see you again soon🐾

MILO & DIAMOND

Another wonderful Christmas period booking with these 2 adorable cats. Milo & Diamond loved their twice daily visits, receiving double the love & attention!

Milo, a Russian Blue X, while soft quiet Diamond is a luscious deep golden Moggy. I have never seen such a gorgeous colouring.

Milo loved to play with the wand, and kisses, pats & rubs! Sometimes literally placing himself in between myself & Diamond to be centre stage. Such a smoochy boy!!

Diamond being the eldest, is quite used to Milo’s antics and was quite happy to sit back and wait patiently for some love & attention. She did enjoy a few games chasing her toy mouse and ball, but preferred to just enjoy the human companionship.

The many selfies MILO & I enjoyed. He is such a smoocher!

BILLIE, ANDY & THE FISH

I had the wonderful pleasure of visiting & caring for these 2 gorgeous kitty cats over the Christmas Period.

Billie, is the delightful long haired black & white kitty, who just loves her playtime. I couldn’t stop laughing and being entertained with her antics. She is still a kitten at heart.

Andy, is the gorgeous short haired ginger & white kitty. She is the oldest kitty and just enjoys to chill and having company. She does enjoy her pats and chin rubs, relaxing in her cat tower or chilling on the kitchen bench.

We can’t forget the fish! I loved feeding the fish as it allowed me to be mesmerised by the wonderful goldfish and also the beautiful Thai Fighting fish. So graceful with its long frilly fins!

I am looking forward to hopefully seeing them again in 2025.

CHANDLER & NUTELLA

I am just tickled pink to have recently completed twice daily house visits for these 2 gorgeous panthers. Though I think Nutella is a very deep brown.

Nutella is a beautiful long haired kitty with one eye. But that doesn’t hold her back. Chandler is a striking short hair kitty who is very intelligent and the more curious of the two.

Being rescue kitty cats they are very timid and hide when there are strangers in their home. It was so rewarding to see them both start to relax and with each visit they had with me.

Chandler loved her treats in the puzzle toy. And yes, Chandler is a girl. Story; Chandler was adopted as a boy until they found out she was actually a girl. Their pawrents kept the name regardless. Who doesn’t love the sitcom “Friends”??

Nutella enjoyed a treat wherever she was relaxed. She loved to be indulged and such a princess. Of course I had to treat her like royalty 👑.

They were both so brave and trusting in such a short period of time.

It is with a very heavy heart that I announce my final day of my pet sitting business will be Friday 31st May 2024. John & I are moving to Victoria in June to his new position.

I have decided to have a short break from pet sitting to settle into our new town & state.

Please, if any of my pet families find yourselves in Victoria, please reach out! It would be so lovely to catch up and have a coffee, glass of wine or a meal and chat about your fur babies latest antics and how life is on going the Central Coast.

It has been such a joy to build such trusting and loving relationships with your pets and also having the respect and trust shown to me by you, their owners, in allowing me to care for them like my own. The laughs at their crazy antics and the tears if they passed over the rainbow bridge 🌈.

Each pet holds a very special place in my heart💖 I miss them already 😢

Thank you all so much for all the wonderful times, from the bottom of my heart.

Carolyn 🙏

A birthday holiday treat!
I’ll be available again on Monday 6th May!

My apologies for any inconvenience for the short notice.

It has been a very stressful few weeks contacting all my current pet families of the change in our circumstances.

It’s a very sad time for me.

I will miss all the wonderful pets & families. Thank you all for your well wishes at this stressful time. It is truly appreciated 💕

As of Monday 1st April, I will no longer be offering weekend visits. As I work through the coming weeks, I will keep my clients up to date with locating new pet sitting alternatives.

Every single one of the cats, dogs, birds, and other gorgeous creatures I have been blessed to care for has been an amazing experience. I have learnt so much.

I’ve laughed at the crazy pet antics and cried when the senior pets have crossed the rainbow bridge. You love them like your own. Each one of your fur babies has a special place in my heart💖

ARCHIE, GANDALF & AMORA

In December I had 3 wonderful visits with this gorgeous furmily!.

Archie loves to stretch his legs on his toilet walks. Then I’m back in the afternoon to feed everyone and have lots of play with Amora and a snuggle with Archie.

Gandalf loves a good pat but prefers to settle on his own once Amora gets playful and a bit boisterous

COCO

A beautiful blank panther and new client! Coco enjoyed a short Express visit in early December. Her meowmy doubted I would see her as she doesn’t like strangers.

Coco was super curious and came out from under the bed to see who had arrived. Not great photos, but was tickled pink she trusted me to give me a sniff.

SWEETIE

I had the pleasure of 1 short sweet (yes, pun intended) visit with beautiful Sweetie.

Her owner had been rushed to hospital and a good friend organised a last minute feed for this gorgeous lady.

Sweetie is very timid and hid the whole time I did my visit. I let her be, to not make her anymore anxious. She really only has eyes for her parent 💕🐾.

Though I did pop in later to visit her owner and was blessed with her presence. She happily let me pat her. She was feeling so brave with her pawrent nearby.

ARCHIE, MJ & HONEY

I was blessed with 4 wonderful visits just before Christmas with these gorgeous bundles of fun!

We always have a ball and they love fighting over my lap for prime position!

ALFIE

2nd bookings are such a delight!!

It was wonderful to visit Alfie again for a whole week of one hour visits in November!

He really started to relax and trust me and we thoroughly enjoyed each other’s company.

He lives for his outside time. He happily wonders through his yard on the look out for anything that moves. Alfie is very comfortable wearing his harness and it keeps him safe while he explores his kingdom.

He loves his games too, though I think he prefers them with his mummy and daddy than me. He loved to smooch up for pats, chin rubs and an after dinner treat.
