A pet loving Retiree

More information about this house sitter

Dear Home Owners, as an experienced house/pet sitter I enjoy taking exemplary care of your pets, home, and garden/pot plants by faithfully following your instructions and pet routines.

I am a single, quiet, non-smoking, trustworthy, reliable, animal loving, communicative, and security conscious person who became a home owner in 2006. I also respect and maintain the privacy and confidentiality of home owners.

I love animals/pets, walking, reading, gardening, art, hat/cap collecting, card making, crocheting, the seaside (lots of holidays at Batemans Bay, Ulladulla, NSW and surrounds), and cats in particular, as growing up my family had a clowder of cats. I also have very recent pet sitting experiences with pecky chickens, a treat obsessed alpaca and sheep, sniffari loving dogs, and cool cats (I’m besties with some beautiful Burmese). Plus in the 1990s/2000s I was a slave to firstly my cat Jade, then later my cat Turk; and in the 1980s I was owned by my chihuahua Tawny.

Housesitting Experience
2001-2005: Approximately 30 housesits completed in Queanbeyan, NSW and Canberra, ACT, inclusive of one 10 month house/cat sit.

2006-2017: I bought a Townhouse in Queanbeyan, NSW, and got to be owned by my big, fluffy grey and white, independent, rescue cat Turk (now sadly deceased). During this time I undertook daily house checks/pet visits, for holidaying friends, and family.

2018-2020: 3 house/cat sits completed including my first sit through Mindahome. Prepared my townhouse for sale, and sold in November 2020.

2021: 11 house/pet sits successfully completed in NSW and ACT, inclusive of a four month house/dog/chicken sit in a small country town in NSW.

2022: 13 house/pet sits successfully completed in NSW and ACT, inclusive of a two month house/cat sit in NSW. Bought a home in country NSW.
