More information about this house sitter

Greetings. We are Laurie and Neil. We have completed 40 house sits, thoroughly enjoyed every one, met some fantastic folks, and cared for more than 50 dogs, plus other pets that will live in our hearts forever. Homeowners have told us that we are enthusiastic, friendly, well-organized, and excellent at communication.

We are non-smokers. We have Global Entry status in the US and Nexus in Canada - both require a live interview and extensive and rigorous background checks.
We are spending the summer and autumn of 2023-2024 house and pet-sitting in Australia. We have three confirmed house and pet sits beginning in Decmeber and of course, we have obtained our tourist (class 600) visas and have confirmed flight reservations to Melbourne.

We have been married for more than 40 years and have owned and maintained our own home during most of that time. Before we began house sitting we had lived in three different homes that we owned, and learned to tackle almost any homeowner challenge! We had a swimming pool, cared for a fish pond, raised chickens and a bunny, and dealt with a well, septic system, and extensive grounds keeping in our previous homes. We have always tended flower and vegetable gardens and enjoy growing organic produce.

We love animals and can care for most, except for indoor cats, due to allergies. We have raised three dogs and always relish becoming friends with beloved pets. We have also raised chickens, ducks, fish, and some smaller animals, including a rabbit and a rat. We have cared for sheep, donkeys, and a pig.

We love house sitting and plan to continue doing it for as long as we can. We have also learned that we are perfectly suited to the many aspects of caring for the homes and pets of others and have received rave reviews.

You will find all our reviews on our house sitting website, stolmaker dot com, with numerous photos, a list of our services, and much more.

We look forward to speaking with you to see if we are a good match for your opportunity. Read more...
