We are active - both enjoy cycling, hiking, daily walking, reading, listening to podcasts/music, watching films. Carmel - yoga/meditation, Bill - gardening. We are non smokers, happily married and enjoy living a simple life, in tune with nature and connected to community.

We are now retired and enjoying an active lifestyle of discovery, travel and living in different parts of Australia, New Zealand & Europe. We enjoy being with and caring for pets, for us it is a pleasure not a chore, keeping homes clean and secure, gardening and property care.

As we rent our home in Australia we appreciate the importance of finding trustworthy people to respect and care for your home.

WHY WE WANT TO HOUSESIT
House sitting offers us an authentic ‘local’ travel experience through meeting people and having the time to enjoy the unique features/surprises of each locality. We value being able to live in a relaxing and personal place as if it was our own home, enjoying and contributing to what your pets, home, garden and property have to offer. Engaging with locals, their customs and traditions and most of all hiking or cycling to really enjoy what nature has to share with us.
