29yo high school teacher and performing artist looking to spend some time adventuring and housesitting. You will usually find me petting neighbourhood cats and brewing up herbal teas. Used to supervising 25+ crazy teenagers at once so you can be assured your home and pets will be safe with me.

I have worked over the last few years to qualify as a high school teacher, and now want to enjoy the fruits of my labour and enjoy the freedom and benefits of casual relief teaching by spending some time in beautiful places around Australia!

I am also a theatre/performing artist and enjoy travelling to explore new creative opportunities. I mostly work in physical theatre, clowning and improv comedy.

I am very experienced caring for cats in particular (many of my own over the years and have often pet-sat for friends). Am comfortable looking after both indoor and outdoor kitties. I have an indoor cat of my own called Zuko that lives with my family in Melbourne. Also cared for birds and fish.

I am new to this website, but not new to house sitting. Have spent much of my adult life travelling, and have looked after places across the world. I am also a home owner now and understand the importance of leaving a home in the hands of someone you trust while away.

As someone that works very social jobs, I highly value my quiet home time. I am very conscientous about the privacy and security of a home I'm sitting for, and don't take that responsibility lightly.

Always happy for a phone or zoom call to check the fit and can provide references if needed. Don’t hesitate to reach out! Read more...
