Born From Love & Veterinary Excellence
Founded by a vet nurse. Built on 10+ years of professional pet care in Melbourne.
OUR STORY
More than a decade ago, while working as a veterinary nurse, Angela saw an opportunity to extend the reach of vet nurses beyond the walls of the clinic. She recognised that many pets experience stress, illness, or behavioural challenges that don’t stop at the end of a vet visit, and that their wellbeing is often best supported in the familiarity of their own home. What began as offering in-home care to a small number of clients quickly revealed a deeper purpose — creating a way for pet owners to access a higher level of trusted, professional care outside of the clinic, while giving vet nurses a platform to showcase and expand the full depth of their skills.
Angela created SitStay to connect pet owners with the highest level of care for their pets outside of the vet clinic, and to allow vet nurses to grow beyond traditional clinical boundaries.
SitStay is a community built to promote the expertise of vet nurses and encourage ongoing education, including further training and complementary study that can be shared back with the pet owner community through certified services.
We believe in raising the standard of in-home pet care by empowering qualified vet nurses to continue learning, developing specialist skills, and applying them in real-world settings where they make the biggest difference.
OUR MISSION
OUR DIFFERENCE
SitStay is a small, vet nurse–led service built on trust, consistency, and clinical-level care in the home environment. With a close-knit team of around 20–30 carefully selected vet nurse sitters and one hands-on owner who is also a vet nurse, we offer something intentionally different from traditional pet sitting.
Every pet is thoughtfully matched with the right nurse for their individual needs — removing the need for owners to search, compare, or take a chance on who enters their home. This ensures continuity of care, stronger relationships, and a genuinely personalised experience for every pet.
