Fulltime House Pet and Garden Carers

More information about this house sitter

We are a non-smoking, healthy, fit and active semi-retired couple, experienced in looking after cats and all different breeds of dogs in their own home. Each of us has looked after and cared for dogs and cats throughout most of our lives. I (Julieanne) do some freelance work on the internet, so your pets will have company while I work. John is a retired horticulturalist, artist and musician.

Since February 2023, we've been house and pet sitting fulltime in South Australia mostly and a couple of months on the Gold Coast. We are now looking for house sits only in Adelaide and surroundings, including as far north as Gawler.

We have looked after many different ages and breeds of dogs including a sweet gentle, but very energetic Border Collie, two extremely energetic Kelpie/Heelers, a very cute Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, an affectionate mini Schnauzer, a very cute and young Maltese Shih Tzu, three human-like Cavoodles, 2 adorable French Bulldogs and 2 very old dogs of mixed breeds.

There have also been many different types of cats, ranging from 12 months old to 20 years old, two of them were quite sick and required medication and lots of attention. At times, we've also had a large garden to water and care for, as well as over 50 African Violets, 10 Orchids and other delicate indoor plants at one time.

We both keep fit by walking, swimming, doing cardiac exercise and weight lifting at the gym. If you would like to know more about us, please see our video which is here with our photos.

We are on Facebook, and love to communicate on Messenger, sending photos and messages every couple of days, to reassure you that your pets are happy and healthy.
