More information about this house sitter

We are a semi retired couple living in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. Over the past couple of years, we have utilised House Sitters to assist us to care for our two Old English Sheepdogs, while we travelled to the UK to visit family. We are now able to consider house sitting ourselves and believe our love of animals, particularly dogs (parents of five OES's over the years), gives us the opportunity of helping other pet owners who wish to travel, but need to know their four footed family members are well cared for. In addition, we have also had cats and chickens as part of our family menagerie.
As we both are involved in volunteering in our local community, we have current Police Checks.
As we are starting out on our ventures into housesitting we provide the following endorsements from Graham and Bernadette, and also Dean & Dorothy who house sat for us...

"...Graham and Bernadette - August 2017
We were introduced to Julie and Richard through Trustedhousitters. We were fortunate to have the opportunity to look after their lovely home and two gorgeous Old English Sheepdogs in the Adelaide Hills, while they were travelling in the UK. Julie and Richard are a very welcoming friendly couple and there is no doubt they are genuine animal lovers with years of experience with their own pets. They are now planning to housesit themselves. We are confident Julie and Richard will make conscientious trustworthy sitters. We wish them all the very best in their new venture. Graham and Bernadette, New Zealand...."

Dean & Dorothy - September 2017
"...Julie & Richard
Many thanks for allowing my wife and I to look after your two adorable English Sheepdogs while you were touring overseas. It was obvious that they are very loved members of your family, well looked after and great fun to be around.
Your home in the Adelaide Hills was welcoming on arrival and although it was a little cool outside at times, we were kept warm by your very efficient wood fire. We trust you found your very comfortable house in the excellent condition that you left it for us.
Again, many thanks and we look forward to being of assistance sometime in the future...

"...It is with great pleasure that I provide a letter of support for Julie. I have known Julie and her husband Richard for a number of years now. Julie was previously my Executive Assistant, and over the last several years, a very good friend.

Julie is very mature, responsible and extremely generous in giving of her time and support to any takes she undertakes. Her love for animals is well known among her friends and acquaintances. Julie often looked after my King Charles Cavalier, Izzy. I was never anxious about her knowing that she would be looked after as well as, if not better than she was at home. In fact, I have given Julie the task of re-homing my little dog should I be unable to take care of him at any time in the future. I know that Julie will have his best interests at heart and will give him only to a home that will look after him just as I or she would.

Julie is also an excellent homemaker and gardener, so I would be confident in recommending her to look after anyone’s home.

As my Executive Assistant. I often charged Julie with taking care many of my personal responsibilities, such as paying accounts and following up on personal matters for me. She is totally trustworthy, and her work ethic is such that no stone was left unturned to complete a task, all with good humour.

I have no hesitation in recommending Julie for any house sitting position that she may apply for.

We assure home owners that when we commit to a house sit, we stay committed. We are not "flighty" - if we accept a sit, we accept that responsibility and immediately our plans incorporate that commitment.

We hope you will consider us when searching for carers/sitters.
