Mature responsible female animal lover

More information about this house sitter

I am a retired, animal loving wanderer and explorer at heart, who gets deep satisfaction from helping out by looking after your precious pets and home so that you can have peace of mind while you are away.

I am exploring stunning Australia, meeting a wide variety of really lovely people, and getting to hang out with the coolest animals.

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 have lived in and looked after city apartments, suburban homes, and rural properties. I am a bit OCD with cleanliness and am super organised. I am a plant freak and have been known to have long, meaningful (if somewhat one-sided) conversations with them. My repertoire includes house plants, gardens and veggie gardens. I also have a lot of experience maintaining swimming pools.

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 the people and/or animals I sit for, before the start date, to ensure we're a good match, particularly if it is a longer sit. 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...
