House Sitter and school leader

More information about this house sitter

Hi everyone!

We're Ashleigh and Patrick, a little family of three (plus our beautiful daughter), currently living in Glenelg, South Australia.

I've been a high school teacher for 12 years, including 7 years in school leadership, and Patrick is an electrician with SAPN. We both love what we do and, between us, bring a good mix of organisation, responsibility, practical know-how and a genuine respect for other people's homes.

We're currently renovating our home in Glenelg, which has given us the opportunity to do a little more house sitting again. Both Patrick and I have house sat for many families over the years, particularly before settling into our own home, and it's something we've always really enjoyed.

We're also very much animal people! We have a beautiful, energetic Toller named Tilly, who is very much the centre of our world. We're well accustomed to multiple daily walks, big personalities and all the little things that come with having pets. Tilly won't be joining us on house sits, though — she'll be enjoying a little holiday at my parents' farm in Victor Harbor while our renovations take place.

We've cared for all sorts of pets over the years, including those needing extra attention, medication and a little more hands-on care. We understand that pets are family, and how important it is to find someone who will love and care for them just as you would.

As a family, we're clean, considerate and respectful. We take great pride in looking after a home as though it were our own, and are often told how beautifully we've left places. Patrick's practical background is also handy when it comes to general home maintenance and keeping an eye on the little things.

Most importantly, we're easygoing, trustworthy people who genuinely appreciate the opportunity to look after someone's home and much-loved pets. We know how much trust is involved in handing over your keys, and we'd never take that lightly.

We'd love the opportunity to meet some lovely families, make a few new furry friends and give you the peace of mind that your home and pets are in good hands.
