Hannah and Brett

More information about this house sitter

Hi! I’m Hannah, a local resident and professional currently based in the Bellingen area. I balance a career in academia with a deep love for the land, as my husband and I are currently establishing our own primary production farm nearby. We have two children who attend local schools in Bellingen: Henry aged 12, and Rosie aged 9. We also have a beautiful golden retriever who is gentle, well trained and part of our family.

We are looking for house-sitting opportunities while we are in the process of establishing our new home on our farm. Because we live locally, we are reliable, easily reachable, and familiar with the Mid North Coast environment.

We understand that a home, especially one on acreage, is a significant investment that requires a watchful eye and a steady hand. With our background in commercial coffee cultivation and nursery management, we are comfortable with plant care, irrigation systems, and maintaining soil health. If you have a veggie patch or a complex garden, they will be in expert hands.

As a university academic and researcher, I pride myself on being organized, communicative, and respectful. I treat every home with the same care and attention to detail that I give my own professional work and farm.

I’m a firm believer that pets are family. We have plenty of experience with dogs and are happy to maintain your pets' routines, whether that’s daily walks or just providing plenty of company.

We are comfortable with rural infrastructure, from off-grid setups to basic property troubleshooting, ensuring everything runs smoothly while you’re away. My husband Brett is an electrician and all round super handy person.

Our aim is to give you total peace of mind. You can head off on your travels knowing your plants are thriving, your pets are happy, and your home is secure and spotlessly maintained.

I’m looking forward to meeting you and your furry (or leafy!) friends soon. Read more...
