🐾 Hello, I'm Jacqueline – Your Fun Pet Aunt! 🐾
Welcome to my page!
I'm a Melbourne-based comedian and lifelong animal lover. I grew up in a home full of pets—birds, cats, rabbits, and dogs—and have always felt most myself when surrounded by furry (and feathered) companions. My beloved cat Suki recently passed away just shy of her 20th birthday, so I have plenty of love (and experience) to share, especially with senior animals who may need medication or extra care.
I truly am an Aunt to all—whether it's my human nieces and nephew or your feline family members, everyone gets the same amount of affection, attention, and silly songs.
A couple of years ago, a rent hike gave me the nudge to pack up my things and hit the road. I toured Australia performing comedy and began house and pet sitting along the way. Now, I'm mostly based in Melbourne and saving for a home of my own, which means I’m happily available to care for yours. 😊

What I Offer:
I provide loving, attentive care to your furry friends, especially cats – they’re my specialty. I keep things calm, affectionate, and full of personality, just like your pets.
Here’s what a stay with me includes:
-
Daily cuddles, play time chats, and enthusiastic compliments ("Who's the prettiest baby?")
-
Regular updates with photos and videos
-
Keeping to their food routine the best I can.
-
Basic home care: plant watering, mail collection, bins out, etc.
I'm also very clean, respectful, and will treat your home like it’s my own.
Note on dogs: I’m mostly a cat-sitter, but I can look after small or low-maintenance dogs for an additional fee. (Pricing available on request.)
What I require:
-
Sit length: Minimum 2 weeks
(I bring all my things, everything I own fits into my 1997 Toyota Starlett and I try to maintain a routine, so longer stays are ideal!)
-
Location: Inner Melbourne suburbs, within 25km of the CBD
Bonus points if you're near a Snap Fitness gym 😉
-
A car parking space
A Bit About Me:
As well as stand up I freelance as a graphics operator for Television as well as an audience warm up person and actor. I usually keep normal human hours except when I’m working on the broadcast of Tennis Grand Slams ; Wimbledon , Roland Garros and The US Open.
I’m a super active person – I love walking, weight training, and Muay Thai. I speak French, keep to a pretty steady routine, and value quiet, calm environments (your pets will love that too). I am very strong and will keep your home and pets safe!
Contact
I know it can be daunting to leave your home and pets with someone new – so please feel free to reach out and have a chat. I’d love to hear about your pets, your routines, and see if I’m the right fit.
Looking forward to meeting you and your beautiful fur baby!
