More information about this house sitter

Hi House-owners,
My name is Christina & I am an experienced sitter, having sat for many property/house/pet owners in mainly rural areas of S.A., VIC., N.S.W., with my partner after he retired 3 years ago.
For 18 months we travelled around with our caravan & our little dog, enjoying ourselves immensely, meeting lovely owners & even lovelier pets!
We looked after all breeds of dogs, from the ridiculously huge - (but oh, what a sook!) - cross Bull Arab/Great Dane - to a little terrier.
Included in that were many lovely cats (one home had 7 of them !! ), rabbits, all sorts of native & exotic birds, fish, chooks, ducks & geese.

My partner is now happy to stay at home on our acre block with our big Ridgeback/Staffy (another big sooky!).
However, I would love to do some more sitting, mainly in city/suburban areas, as I won't have my own transport. .

Recently I lost my wonderful little Maltese/Poodle of 16 years & I miss him terribly. He travelled with us during our house-sitting adventures & made lots of furry friends!
As much as our loveable Ridgey' would love to sit on my lap for cuddles, she's just a bit too big!! - & that's what I miss so much - those lap cuddles.

As well as the 'furry friends' we made on our travels, we also made 'human' friends, many of whom we still keep in touch with. Also, I have continued to house sit for some since we've 'retired' from travelling around.
I just hop on a bus or train & they collect me at the other end.
They've also been able to leave me a car, which has been very handy, especially in the rural areas.
We only have one car, hence I need to use public transport to get to my 'sit'.
If you, the owners, were able to leave me a car to use to get to the shops etc., I would be very appreciative - however, it's not a necessity.

My partner & I intend to housesit again together, in the future, with the van, but for now I am happy to pet & house-sit on my own.
I just love travel - meeting new people - going to new places.

As an ex Aged Care & Disability Worker I have a current Police Clearance & can provide references from previous owners.
Some are happy to give a verbal reference & I can provide you with their phone nos.

Please be assured that your loved pets & home will be looked after with the same love & care that I would give my own.
You can probably tell by now that I adore animals, so they will not lack for any attention from me!
Please feel free to contact me if you wish to chat over the phone first - I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
Thankyou for taking the time to read about me - I look forward to hearing from you soon - ( & having some fur-baby cuddles soon !!)
Cheers, Christina.
(PS.I have recently had my surname changed, hence a discrepancy you may notice on the Police Clearance)
