Mature responsible female animal lover

More information about this house sitter

I am a retired, animal loving wanderer and explorer at heart, travelling around stunning Australia, meeting a wide variety of really lovely people, and getting to hang out with the coolest animals.

I am here to help out by loving your precious pets and looking after your home, as if they were my own, so that you can have peace of mind while you are away.

I am a friendly, outgoing person who is fit and healthy and stay that way through good eating, staying active, yoga, lots of walking and swimming. I am vegetarian, don't smoke, occasionally have the odd wine or beer, and live quietly with my fur angel Daisy who is a rescued 6yo Papillon cross Terrier. We are both house trained, very clean and tidy, don't shed, are regularly groomed and flea treated, de-sexed (Daisy, that is), and easy to get on with.

I have a very deep love for animals and have always been blessed to have one - often several, sharing my life and home. I have had dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents, chickens and - vicariously through my daughter - horses.

I am a plant freak and have been known to have long, meaningful (if somewhat one-sided) conversations with them. I enjoy gardening and also have a lot of experience maintaining swimming pools.

I have lived in and looked after city apartments, suburban homes, and rural properties. I am a bit OCD with cleanliness, very light on resources and strive to leave as small a footprint as possible.

I am on a journey of exploration around this beautiful country and very much enjoy meeting new people and spending time with a whole variety of new animal friends. I will love and look after your fur, feather, hairy, scaly and leafy babies and home as if they are my own.

I prefer to meet face-to-face with you and the animals I sit for to ensure we're a good match, and that you're comfortable having me and Daisy in your home. If that isn't possible we can catch up by telephone or on Zoom.

My home base is with my daughter in Brisbane, and I house/pet sit in most areas of Queensland and New South Wales.

I can supply references, am identity verified, and have a current National Police Certificate, a copy of which I can provide. I am happy to undergo any other relevant vetting should it be required.

I also have my own car so transport is not an issue for the more remote locations. Read more...
