Clean, honest and reliable

More information about this house sitter

Hi! I'm friendly, respectful, responsible, conscientious, clean, and an experienced housesitter. I would be happy to look after your home and pets.

I'm 39 years old, a former scientist and engineer, though I switched to the non-profit sector and worked in community organisations for several years. I have only just recently returned to the corporate world, now working 4 days/week as a sustainability consultant in the Perth CBD. I tend to work from home for 2 days each week and go into the city office for the other 2 days.

I've done a fair bit of house-sitting before. I'm currently based in WA, but I have done house-sits in Sale (VIC), Melbourne (VIC), Busselton (WA), the Blue Mountains (NSW), Glebe (NSW), Lane Cove (NSW), Waterloo (NSW), Epping (NSW), in Epping (NSW), Parramatta (NSW) and Tapping (WA). Across all of these I've looked after dogs, cats, chickens, gardens, and, of course, the houses themselves. I have some testimonials that I've included below.

At home I lead a fairly quiet and peaceful life, enjoying curling up with a book or watching movies. I also like the outdoors, going for bike rides or bushwalks, or catching up with friends.

I'm happy to share with you anything else about me that you'd like to know, and I look forward to meeting you, your home, and your beloved pets.

TESTIMONIALS:
(Copied across from my profiles on the Aussie Housesitters website and the Happy Housesitters website)

"Nick looked after our house and dog recently while we were away for 3 weeks. Our dog Radar is not the easiest of pets but Nick did a great job. He took great care of both house and dog and the house was very clean and tidy when we got back, complete with welcome message and chocolates to meet us on our return. We appreciated the fact that Nick kept in touch with us by email which made sure we knew all was well in our absence and which we definitely appreciated. I would definitely highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a reliable and completely trustworthy person to housesit." -- Vicky, Lane Cove, NSW.

"Nick was invited to look after our house for us for three weeks in April this year. It is a large old house with a significant sized garden, many pots, as well as a vegetable plot on another site. He looked after it beautifully and cleaned it nicely as well. The garden was in fine shape and the vegetable plot as well. I am sure that anyone who had him to care for their home would be delighted and he would go the second mile as he did in watering and even weeding our garden." -- Carolyn Invarson, Melbourne, VIC.

"Nick very kindly housesat for us for approximately a week at short notice which really helped us out. We came home to a very tidy and clean house and a super happy dog. We really appreciate the time and effort Nick put into watering the gardens, feeding and exercising our dog and maintaining the house. We would love to have Nick housesit for us again, and would highly recommend him to anyone else looking for a housesitter." -- Jess Harkness, Sale, VIC.

"Nick sat for us in July/August 2017. We have a large house, 8 chickens and a cat. Nick managed everything very well - the cat being a cat she took a few day but then she loved him a lot!! Nick is a very respectful and careful person who looked after our home and animals exactly as we wanted. Anyone wanting to contact Nick for house-sitting can be assured of the same careful approach. Please contact us if you want more information." -- Adelaide, Springwood, NSW.

"Nick has proved reliable, punctual, courteous and clean. We left him with 2 pets, a self reliant cat and a demanding dog + house for 3 weeks. Nick kept us up to date with the two and we were able to relax while we felt all was under control. Nick comes highly recommended from both my wife and I." -- Bevin, Epping, NSW. Read more...
