Fiona and Michael

More information about this house sitter

We are a mature Australian couple who love animals and own our own home in Canberra and Cairns. I have recently retired from a government job and Michael is retired having previously been in the Australian Defence Force for 37 years. I previously owned a restaurant for many years before joining the public service.

We are a friendly reliable, trustworthy, non-smoking couple (fully vaccinated) who stay fit by long walks and going to the gym and swimming.

We greatly miss having the love and companionship of animals in our life. We lost our beautiful spoodle in late 2018 having had him since we rescued him in 2007. Caring for someone else’s pets seems like a perfect thing for us to do right now. When we had our spoodle we would never arrange a holiday until we first had secured someone ( usually a couple) to stay with Him when we would go away as he had a bit of attachment disorder and did not like staying in another home and he never went to a kennel. We are sure there are many other people out there who feel the same as us, so we would love to look after your loved pets (babies) while you are away knowing your home will be cared for as if it was our own ( and we have high standards of cleanliness).

Michael and I are both great animal lovers so we know what it is like to leave a treasured pet when you go on holidays. Our spoodle had attachment disorder and a few other idiosyncrasies so we couldn’t leave him with just anybody. In fact we would never book a trip until we had first selected the right house sitter. We were so lucky that by using house sitters websites we were able to vet possible carers and found really good fits for the times that we were away.

We would treat your house as our own but most importantly provide the love and care for our charges as if they were our own. Read more...
