Professional working couple

More information about this house sitter

Hello! We are Vicki-Lee and Yann, empty nesters who have recently left inner Sydney for a new chapter in SE Qld/Northern NSW, currently based on the Gold Coast. We are considering a more rural life, or at least waking up with the sound of nature, but we're not yet sure where to buy land to build our forever home. We both work from home (just need reliable internet), allowing us the freedom to do this! I am an Australian-born psychologist, and my licensure requires police and working with children and vulnerable people checks. I work with co-regulating people's nervous systems and generating felt safety, so making your pets feel at ease and secure is our primary focus.

My French husband of more than 20 years, Yann, works in fashion. We lived in France for 6 years, raising our son, and moved to Australia permanently in 2008. Yann grew up with a succession of boxer dogs and I grew up around dogs, cats and birds. He is unfortunately allergic to cats, but he's okay about Vegemite, so like all marriages, we've compromised.

We're into long walks and bushwalking; Yann runs, although yoga is more my speed. We rarely drink, don't smoke, and are pretty health-conscious. We take care of ourselves and our surroundings, well and quietly. We understand that as homeowners, entrusting your home and beloved pets, who are their own beings with fully fledged character and personality, we are aware of your situation. We can be relied upon to serve your best interests as the need arises, and honour that intelligently with genuine concern and consideration. We work online, so regular updates with your preferred method (text, email, voice message, phone call) work well for us - whatever works! Read more...
