Hi! I'm a cat whisperer and animal lover- keen on Australia & Europe

About this sitter

Hi! My name is Steph (45y) and I've had cats my entire life. I was a forster 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've built my kitty a little runway on may bedroom wall- check out the pics! :)
At home I'm a German as a foreign language and art teacher and have my own art 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! :)
