Sitting Pretty

More information about this house sitter

Hi there!

Housesitting for 5+ years!

We are Rod and Katrina and our three youngest beautiful daughters, Evie, Eliza and Heidi, ages 17, 15 and 12. Our girls love animals as much as we do and like us, are gentle and respectful with them.

We delight in the opportunities presented to us through house sitting; caring for so many wonderful homes and animals and exploring new areas of Australia. When in-between house sits, we live in our lovely 5 berth caravan or spend time visiting our oldest daughter and her family in Kyogle, NSW. We home educate our daughters, which perfectly suits our lifestyle.

We are non-smokers. Rod is an electrician by trade and works as a handyman/renovator as we travel. Our previous home was on 1 acre, for which Rod was the owner builder.

We are currently house sitting on the beautiful Sunshine Coast and our wish is to only housesit in and around the Sunny Coast from now on. We plan to settle here in the future.

Rod and I grew up with pet dogs and cats and we have previously owned two gorgeous Papillons. We have also owned chickens, guinea pigs and goldfish. During our house sitting we have cared for dogs, cats, horses, cows/calves, alpaca, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, rabbits, birds, snakes, bearded dragons, Japanese Koi and goldfish. We have also refilled many a bird bath and bird feeder.

We've been housesitting for over 5 years now and have completed 31 advertised and requested housesits and a few more through word of mouth from happy homeowners. A larger percentage of our sits have been for either acreage or rural properties.

Loving pets and caring for homes, gardens and properties is something we have much experience with. It would be our pleasure to love and care for your pets, home and gardens for you! Read more...
