Heart & Home

More information about this house sitter

Hello all, my name is Elisabeth, and I am quite new to MindAHome. I am a mature solo sitter and I’ll start by saying, it should be noted I do work (in Traffic Control) my schedule is variable not set but through the regular work week which allows more than enough time for proper pet care and exercise however consideration of the length of time your pet(s) can be on their own is necessary. I am a hard worker so rest assured I will do the same for you in managing my time to care for your pets and homes most appropriately and with love.

I pride myself on being cleanly, motivated, helpful, quiet, and dependable. I can provide references to contact if desired and welcome any opportunity to get to know one another by phone and/or video chat and welcome all meet and greets where preferred.

My personal background comes with loads of experience to set me up for this endeavour. I am a natural caregiver and outside of work my true love lies in taking care of my family and friends. Over the last years I have prospered being a personal cleaner whether it be office, home or recreational vehicle as well as following major renovations. I am new to living in Australia but am a dual citizen and have been holidaying here to visit family my whole life. Back home in Canada I do own my home therefore becoming a landlord to pursue life in Aus, so I truly relate to the process of leaving your home in another’s care.

I do have familiarity with big property as my parents have lived on 5 acres with a large, beautiful home for the past 25 yrs consistently spending summers assisting with yard work and housework alike as well being charged with the house and property security while they have enjoyed travels around the globe. This past year, when the opportunity arose to rent my home earlier than I expected, I was able to spend a few months with them prior to my departure. Collaborating outside with my dad maintaining the landscaping and property essentials and with my mom in the greenhouse, the kitchen and overall cleaning my time with them was and is priceless.

I raised a big, beautiful, and gentle American Pit Bull Terrier, Lucas, until he crossed over at 15 yrs of age, so am very capable with big dogs. As well, I grew up with cats and over the years have become the resident caregiver to loads of family and friends fur babies accommodating stays with Aunty in lieu of kennels where they have been spoiled with cuddles, exercise and cookery (yes, I have been known to cook for the four-legged kind). For those a little anxious out of their familiar territory, I have gone to them and looked after the homes of my loved ones in the meantime when they can sneak in a get-a-way or plan a vacation. I do love making memories of these times and providing a sense of peace to those who have entrusted their little ones to my care, so I do enjoy snapping a pic or two or taking short videos to send – it is always a highlight for me and for their owners.

I am currently located in Capalaba and enjoying being a roommate for the first time in a long time to two wonderful friends who have welcomed me into their home and to their fur babies Matilda a beautiful Grey Hound who wants nothing more than to be a lap dog and Midge a feisty mini Staffy with a heart of gold. House and pet sitting would allow me the opportunity to experience more of Brisbane than I ever have before as well as a wonderful way to meet new people through my love of caregiving.

I thank you for your consideration and genuinely look forward to the interest you may have in choosing me to mind your home and offer you peace of mind when it comes to caring for your furry little loved ones.

With respect,
Elisabeth Read more...
