Down to earth, reliable, retired couple

More information about this house sitter

Dates available 2026: 11/8 to 12/9. My husband has worked as a grounds-man and gardener for schools and a hospital, and won several prizes for his meticulous work. He also worked in the Botanic Gardens in Darwin. He once owned his own self-sufficient/organic farm growing fruit and veges, made cheese and butter, and used his horses to plough the paddocks to grow organic crops.  He also worked on the rabbit proof fence as a patrol officer, maintaining the fence on horse back through pristine rain-forest.  He is a qualified Commercial Artist by profession, but now prefers to write fiction novels and has had 7 books published: 'Yowie Country,'  the sequel 'Jungle Rescue',  and 'Metamorphosis, The Ghost Runner Series Book 1', 'The Sea of Prickles' Book 2, 'The Touching of Souls' book 3, and 'Snow Leopard' book 4, and the latest publication 'The Thylacine and the Wolf' (all available thru Amazon, librarys, Amazon, XLibris, and as E books).
Diane  is a qualified 'Natural Therapist' and has managed small businesses, worked in chandlery's, taught aerobics, and is liked by most people, and animals love her care and attention. We are honest, reliable, quiet, down to earth, non-smokers, very tidy and respectful of others' privacy and property.
We would look after your home, garden and pets with much love and attention.
