I relish the privacy Housesitting brings. I am flexible with dates and adaptable to most living arrangements. I do not smoke or drink and with mostly a vegan diet. I live simply and quietly. Much of my time is spent at my base in Gunns Plains where I take a daily bike ride along the country roads, reading & relaxing. When on a Sit, a trip to the supermarket/local opshop. No requirement for cupboard/wardrobe spaces and bring my own linen. I am super conscious of energy consumption and have no interest in having guests. I have respect for the privacy/security of your home and the welfare of your pets. I look forward to the opportunity to assist you with your Housesitting needs.

Kind Regards,
