More information about this house sitter
We are a family of four non-smokers. From February 2013 until September 2015 we lived on 5 acres of a larger 100-plus-acre property. During that time we hand-raised a calf and were egg-sellent chook owners!
When our lease finalised we decided to seek an interstate relocation. Our furniture and belongings are stored in a shipping container and we are using our (small) caravan as a base, currently parked at Ballan (VIC). Hopefully we'll be minding homes and pets more often than not!
In terms of our pet caring experience we have previously owned cats (our most recent felines both required various medication as they aged), larger breed dogs, cockatiels, fancy goldfish, tropical fish and yabbies - as well as scorpions and stick insects!
We currently have Bandit who is a mixed breed dog (possibly kelpie, border collie, cattle dog) rescue from the RSPCA.
(In earlier times, Rebecca's family had a property where they bred pedigree Anglo-Nubian goats. There were chooks and ducks on that farm as well as rabbits, a Collie dog, a horse, a hand-reared sheep and a couple of cows).
Our 23-year-old daughter holds a Certificate 3 in Captive Animal Care and Certificate 2 in Animal Care. She has achieved extensive experience volunteering in various wildlife venues.
We also have experience as emergency carers with WIRES, a NSW wildlife rescue agency, where we cared for various birds, some lizards and the occasional tortoise. Nick was often called upon to relocate venomous and non-venomous snakes, several goannas, and a number of possums.
Vaughan is our 11-year-old son. He is in Year 5 at our local primary school and will continue to attend throughout term time. He loves dogs, cats and most animals - and has even been known to kiss and cuddle chooks!
Since September 2015 we have attained the following house-sitting experience:-
03/09/15 - 30/09/15 (27 days)
Our main duty was caring for a larger Kelpie, who thoroughly enjoyed day-trips and outings with our dog.
23/12/15 - 30/12/15 (7 days)
A short stay over Christmas to look after a shy white cat.
15/06/16 - 29/06/16 (15 days)
Rebecca minded a home in Ruby Bay, New Zealand - tending 6 chooks, 6 alpacas and one cat.
15/07/16 - 09/09/16 (56 days)
While staying here, we are also collecting mail and keeping an eye on a nearby house belonging to the homeowners' son. Read more...
