Professional & Fun | Full Time Adelaide

More information about this house sitter

I've cared for a range of pets, plants, gardens, pools and homes on acreage through to city units both here in Australia and in Europe.

I have a police check, am ID checked, a non smoker and am also very practical. Working in film production means you have to be able to pretty much fix anything and everything! I own my own property on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland so understand the care in keeping a home and the responsibility of taking care of other's. My own Cattledog Kelpie cross is currently with friends so I'm fully across the importance of finding the right person to look after your pets.

I started by taking care of friends homes and pets when they went away on short breaks. I have a broad eclectic group of friends living in everything from narrowboats and penthouse apartments to hippy beach shacks and suburban townhouses. And from that it evolved into something more professional across Australia and Europe.

I’ve had several rescue dogs as pets myself, both young and old, so am adept at adjusting to various pet personalities. I love a good walk at least once a day given my work is generally desk bound, it’s good to get out, even more so with a curious companion!

The ocean and the animals who call it home are a big love of mine yet I’m equally at home in the bush. I’m a freediver and international ocean freediving judge when time allows.

I grew up riding horses so am comfortable around larger animals and love a good produce garden to care for and learn from.

I work professionally in Adelaide having moved to start a new job. I thought I'd familiarise myself with the layout of the city and surrounds via pet and house sitting. It also means I have some instant furry friends!

I'm caring, meticulous, tidy, love a clean space, am thoughtful and a good communicator. I've grown up with pets large and small and have cared for property and animals whilst owners have travelled overseas, been away for a short break or out of contact on the high seas!

I'm new to Mindahome so have posted reviews below from another site I use. Thanks!

"Mags was just terrific, looked after our house and little Mackie so well, can not speak more highly of her." Mick and Janet, November 2025, Norwood, SA


"I live in the South of France and invited Mags to come stay for a few days while she was travelling. As it turned out, I then asked Mags if she wouldn’t mind looking after my dogs and house while we went away.

I have a 1-year-old very energetic whippet X puppy and an 11-year-old Springador, both with an endless desire for walks, food and love. Mags is very experienced with dogs and gave us some very useful pointers for bringing up our new puppy. She watered our garden, made me dinner when I returned (most welcome) and cared for our house as though it was hers. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Mags for housesitting/animal sitting." Sarah, Bagheera and Mooch, July 2025, Camargue, France


“Mags took care of our home, dogs, plants and pool for several weeks and across that time we were able to relax and enjoy our holiday knowing the house was in great hands. Mags sent us regular updates and communicated quickly if an issue came up, which in our instance was an issue with the pool pump which Mags was able to efficiently deal with.

On our return the property and house was well cared for and immaculate. Got a big thumbs up from me as I am a stickler for my home being returned in the condition it was provided. I can highly recommend Mags to anyone considering her to house sit for them. You won’t be disappointed and you will be delighted in the condition of your home on your return.” Liv, Bill, Dakota and Pepper, Christmas 2017, Doonan, QLD Read more...
