More information about this house sitter

"What a find! This couple are the gems of house sitters/pet minders."

"You will not meet anyone more honest and trustworthy, and who shows more care and thoughtfulness."

FOUR years and more than 80 house sits after we sold our Melbourne CBD apartment and anything that wouldn't fit into two suitcases, we are very proud to consistently receive reviews like those.

If you want your precious pets treated with genuine affection, and your valuable home with the utmost respect, we would love to talk with you.

We are Kirsty Carter and Lawrie Masterson. We love animals and it has been our privilege to care for dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, ages and medical conditions during our house sitting journey. There also have been a few fish, guinea pigs and chickens, although we have to admit we draw the line at big farm animals. We know that all animals have independent personalities that must be understood and respected if they are to be cared for properly. Usually that involves clean litter, ample and suitable food, plenty of fluids, exercise ... and, most important, lots of affection.

Having owned or rented numerous properties, apartments and houses, we also know how to care for homes, furniture and gardens. We are non-drinkers and non-smokers, house-proud, self-sufficient and reliable. Again, we consider it a privilege to be invited in to other peoples' homes, and we revel in the opportunities house sitting gives us to experience local communities and lifestyles.

Briefly, our backgrounds go like this ...

Kirsty: Former CEO in the not-for-profit sector. Loves to exercise. Since she "retired", has been learning to build websites and embarked on a graduate certificate in computer science. Has discovered cooking.

Lawrie: Long career as a journalist and editor, including 14 years in Los Angeles. Cricket tragic. For no apparent reason, desperately trying to learn French and perfect l'accent. Has discovered Kirsty's cooking.

Eventually we will settle again in Melbourne, where, rumour has it, the apartment we bought "off the plan" will be ready to occupy in 2024. In the meantime, we will travel and house sit wherever Covid allows and, hopefully, that might mean spending time at your place.

Serious stuff: We can provide police checks on request. We are fully vaccinated.
