Capable, Caring, Mature and Experienced

More information about this house sitter

Hello,
I have had several house sitting positions through MindaHome ,though not since 2016. My circumstances are changing and I can consider sitting again.
I'm a 66 year single, non smoking, recently retired lady with no animals of my own at present, and miss their company.
My working background was in aged care and disability, but I also have a horticultural qualification ( so can take good care of your plants !)
I was an RSPCA Warranted Inspector in New Zealand for 5 years, where I also managed the animal shelter, and worked for Riding for the Disabled in NZ for many years as an Instructor.
I've owned animals all my life, and had a 5 acre farm in Warwick, where I had dogs, cats, chooks, sheep and alpacas. I was an owner builder and built my own house, so am practical and handy ( but not very mechanically minded I'm afraid, if the mower doesn't start I'll have to phone a friend !) I enjoy gardening.
I am a tidy, clean living, non smoker and will treat your animals and property with the care and respect they would get if they were my own. I am confident and capable with all animals, I have common sense and can follow instructions!
Through my work I have recent police check and yellow card and can supply telephone and/or written references via private contact.
Now retired, I can be home most of the time to keep your furry or feathered family company.
I am currently based in the Redlands where I have family, and more than happy to meet with you prior to your required date.
Due to other commitments I have very limited specific dates in mind, so apologies in advance if not available.

Thanks for reading,please ask if you want to view references or require any other information. Read more...
