Miss Integrity - Loving Them Like My Own

More information about this house sitter

I am a single 51 year old professional female (no kids or pets of my own).
I'm very clean/ tidy, a non smoker, quiet and into healthy living, respectful of people's property and privacy, as well as very reliable with ample character references, available on request. I am back in the NT working in Aboriginal land management.

Previously I was working in SA for 5 years after living in the NT (loved it!) on a career break for 18 months (where i was quite active housesitting). Before this I was based in Western Australia for several years working full time for a community organisation managing environmental projects.

I grew up on a farm in South Western Victoria. I grew up with animals (sheep, cattle, dogs, cats, chickens and budgies) and have had pets most of my life (dogs/cats/cockatiels).

My hobbies include bushwalking, kayaking, gardening, art pursuits, bike riding, gardening, nature and cultural events.

I tend to travel in my car so I do not need room for a caravan.

Im not new to house sitting, I did quite a bit of sitting in Darwin during my travels through other house sitting sites and everyone was happy at the duration. I sat dogs and cats ( and fish).
I have been minding friends' homes and pets ( horses, dogs, cats, fish, chooks etc) for several years informally (plus helping out on our family farm from day dot!) before joining the house sitting online network. Within this time I have looked after a couple of elderly dogs too.

If you're stuck for a sitter, contact me and we can discuss options :).

Photos: Mostly all recently updated:

The main photo is me in the Darwin build -up chilling out with one of my 2x indoor fluffy charges.

1x blue heeler: That's Digger one of the 2 dogs that I was living with in Girraween in the NT, he and I always stopped to catch up when I pulled up in the driveway ( I'd open my door and he would be straight in with that wet nose to find out where I've been!)

1x border collie Milo - Port Elliot, SA - full of beans I was only just getting to know her properly as the short sit ended although i never did get to understand WHY she ran around in circles barking and staring up at the sky!

1x Poodle X Archie - Camden Park, SA - OMG what a total gentleman! With his soft curly hair like a thick woolen carpet and deep chocolate pools for eyes I fell in love! I told the owners he would make an ideal therapy dog!

1x red heeler Cooper - Hayborough, SA - I fully admit he had me rather intimidated when I first arrived as he kept growling at me but once I demonstrated my willingness to throw his ball A LOT, he and I became best buddies and I was sad to leave!

2 kelpie X (Bella and Charlie) and 1 cat Lola - Greenhill, SA - never a dull moment (nor much space to move on the couch!) with these 3 for company! Endless love bombs from 'the girls' ensured I never ever felt alone for the 2x 1 month stints I had up in 'the hills'!
