What You Actually Get When You Book Sits and Giggles

(Spoiler alert: it’s way more than someone sleeping in your guest room.)

If you're yet to understand why you should book me, let me explain.

When you book through a free house-sitting platform, that usually means a simple swap: they stay in your home for free, you get basic pet and property care.

That's great, we love that, and I did that for a long time, but;

Sits and Giggles is a whole different vibe.

When you book Sits and Giggles, you're investing in something completely different: premium, personalised service that treats your home and pets like the legends they are.

Lets get into the nitty gritty details in dot point form, because, who doesn't love a list?!

This is what you get - it's a long list - because there is a lot included 🤗

🐾 Comprehensive Pet Care

• Plant watering and care with photo updates

Need something fixed while you’re away? I’ll coordinate with your chosen tradies and keep you updated with photos. (And yes, that includes waiting for their 'arrival time' which is always somewhere between 6am and 4pm... could they be anymore specific?)

I'll wait for the professionals, or, if J and I can fix it - we will (with your permission of course!)

Home Presentation:

• Fresh air circulation (opening windows when appropriate)

• BIG clean before your return

• Beds made and living areas tidied

• Your home left cleaner than we found it

Emergency Response:

• First response to any home emergencies (leaks, power outages, etc.)

• Coordination with your preferred tradies if needed

• Detailed photo documentation of any issues

• Immediate communication about anything requiring your attention

🙏🏼 Personal Touch Services (you guessed it - ALL INCLUDED)

Some pets love the camera #posers

• Plant health reports with photos

• Quick check-ins about home status

• Available anytime for any questions or concerns while you're away

Pre-Return Preparation:

• Fresh linens on beds

• Windows opened for fresh air before your arrival (if it's appropriately secure of course)

• Any special prep requests you might have

• Home ready for your seamless return

🙋🏻‍♀️ Optional Extras (Available Upon Request)

There are a couple more things I like to offer - if you'd like to take them!

I can do the grocery run so you can relax when you get home!

Welcome Home Grocery Service

Coming home to an empty fridge after a long trip is the worst! I'm happy to do a grocery run before your return—just send me your shopping list and preferred stores. You cover the cost of groceries plus a small petrol contribution for stores further than 15 km from your home. It's my way of making your homecoming as smooth as possible.

PLUS, it's better than doing an online Woolies/Coles order when they swap out your vanilla coconut yoghurt for home brand regular Greek yoghurt - I'll save you the disappointment of you receiving the wrong thing when you get home :)

Quirky Pet & Plant Portraits

As a comedian and creative, I love capturing your pets or favourite plants in fun, hand-drawn sketches during my stay. These aren't professional masterpieces (I’m still learning!), but they're heartfelt, personalised keepsakes made with love. Consider it a creative bonus from your artistic house sitter—completely complimentary and uniquely yours... if you want it. I won't force you to put my work on the fridge :P

Let me know what you'd like drawn and any details you'd like added!
