More information about this house sitter

*** Available from 30 December 2016. Booked for the first half of February and most of June but otherwise available for 2017. ***

I have been a full-time housesitter for over 5 years, and have cared for homes and pets in Canberra, Tasmania, Scotland, England, Wales, France and Portugal. I work full-time as a Senior Data Analyst with the public service.

I previously owned my own home for over 10 years and will take care of your home and pets even more conscientiously than my own as I am a guest in your home.

I am experienced in looking after all maintenance and garden issues around the home, and have experience with kittens, puppies, adult and elderly dogs and cats (including dealing with blindness, deafness, special feeding requirements, a bit of dementia, and giving medications and injections).

I will ensure that your routines are continued, and a strict diet is followed if required for health reasons. I'm also experienced in looking out for signs that all might not be OK (eg ear infections, tummy upsets etc) and deciding whether vet advice is required or not.

I am also experienced with rural properties and large animals, having helped out on an alpaca farm in Cornwall and helping care for 40-80 Galloway cattle (depending on the number of calves) at a friend's farm on many weekends over the last 9+ years.

I have excellent references from previous house sitting roles. I have a clean police record and can provide a copy of my police check. Your home will be as clean or cleaner than when you left it. I am very conscious of ensuring your home is secure at all times. I'm happy to do some light gardening and also to collect mail, email anything which may need attention and run small errands if required. I have my own car. Read more...
