More information about this house sitter

This is the profile of Ross,  a mature-age, experienced housesitter available to care for your home.
I  began house caring in 2003 and went full time six years ago while I travelled around Australia. I am a part-time freelance journalist, book writer with my first book now published.
I do not expect payment, I come with no attachments (children or pets) and I am a strict non-smoker.  
Previous housesitting assignments have been at a variety of locations:
• On the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, Ipswich area, Brisbane and Brisbane north suburbs;
• Woodend near Ipswich (twice).
• Springfield, west of Brisbane(twice)
• Robina, Gold Coast (twice)
• Tewantin, Sunshine Coast (three weeks)
• Arundel, Gold Coast (five weeks)
• Flynn ACT (two weeks).
• Banora Point, NSW, three times.
Other "sits” have included:
1- A villa home at Labrador on the Gold Coast for seven months while the owners lived elsewhere
while building a new home.
2- A home and squash centre at Ballina while the owner concentrated on re-establishing his resort-style motel in the same town.
3 - That same motel when the owner suffered a nervous breakdown and went to Tahiti for four "miserable"months while he recovered.
4 - A motel at Bundaberg as caretaker-manager (cleaning, general yard and house duties and
patron greeting and transport) while the owners took a holiday (occurred twice, one month each time).
I look forward to being able to provide additional details if you require and to being able to take care of your precious assets to give you a worry-free time away.
A copy of my Police Clearance Certificate and a Police Appreciation Award are available by direct email and I can provide contact details  for some of my satisfied clients prepared to act as a reference. Below is a copy of a reference from a very satisfied former client.
My services, particularly for longer-term assignments, include forwarding mail, providing email reports if required, attention to gardens, plants and swimming pools and most importantly for many owners, pet care (no snakes please).
I am a lover of both cats and dogs, and in previous housesits, I have cared for birds, horses and some
exotic pets including a snake but that was the first and last one..
I look forward to being chosen to care for your valuable assets.
Ross      


REFERENCE

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

I have been asked to provide a reference for Ross Thompson, which I am delighted  to do.

Although I have known Ross for many years in many aspects of his profession, I have also  known him as a personal friend.

I have always found Ross to be honest, reliable, trustworthy and respectful. So much so that I invited him to house sit for me several times in the last 3 years. This was a very satisfactory outcome. I was always contacted by Ross if there was an issue about my dog which he was unsure of, or redirecting my mail, and he even sent me photos of  my pets during his stay. 

My little dog ‘took ‘ to Ross straight away so I went away feeling  confident that everything was well cared for in my absence. Coming home was always a pleasure, my home and garden were as I left them

I will continue to ask Ross to house sit for me, and I can highly recommend his services to anyone requiring someone to care fir their home and loved ones like he has done for me.

Yours Truly,
Anne Barnes
