Josh and Pip

More information about this house sitter

We are a young and hardworking couple who have taken a year out to visit Australia and travel further and beyond. We are currently based in Perth until October, with house sits booked until the end of September. At this point we will be close to 150 days of sitting.
I (Josh) am a Primary School teacher taking a short career break and Pippa is on a sabbatical from her role as a planning enforcement officer for a council in England. We are 33 and 26 respectively. I'm currently working for Cirque du Soleil as an usher whilst it is here in Perth. Pip has signed up as a volunteer for the Perth Royal Show in September. We are also going to spend a week on a workaway, looking after wildlife.
We love sport and being outdoors and whilst we are in Australia we are hoping to maximise these interests.
We love looking after animals, particularly dogs who love a walk but are also content to relax and get to know pets in their home.
As young professionals, we are very reliable, dedicated, and committed to the roles we undertake. We value getting to meet yourself and your animals before we sit so that we can emulate your interactions with them.
Since February, we have completed 6 sits, we are booked through to the end of September and have other sits booked towards the end of the year.
We finished a month's volunteering in March for a tour guide company on K’gari, this involves housekeeping for the entire space (washing, laundry etc.) and helping cater for the weekly tours.
Before leaving home we moved out of a rented small one-bed cottage on the edge of Bristol after 20 months. We took pride in its uniqueness in the area and looked after two small gardens and maintained the interior to a high standard.
We both have police checks in place and can share these with you. Pip is also getting a Working with Children Check. Read more...
