Reliable and adaptable sitter

More information about this house sitter

I'm an occupational therapist specialising in housing adaptability and management of chronic illness; I'm an amateur classical musician (I play the clarinet) and inveterate traveller. I will be sitting with my eldest, Jarrah (33yrs), who is an actor, writer and dramaturg. Jarrah is studying Creative Arts/Drama at QUT.

We are both equally happy in remote natural surroundings and city-based cultural affairs. We are comfortable with our own company, enjoy each other’s company and we love the friendship of a cuddly pet. We’re good at following instructions - we’ll care for your pet and home in the way you would like us to.

I have a lifetime of experience with pets and houses. My informal friendship network has always looked after each others homes, pets and pools while away on holidays. I spent 4 months house-sitting in France and the UK prior to the pandemic and had a wonderful time meeting people and pets.

I've lived in inner city Brisbane for years, and Jarrah has recently returned to Brisbane after living in the UK and Germany for over a decade.

We want to explore different pockets of Brisbane to see where we each want to settle for the next stage of our lives. We love the idea that while we are immersing ourselves in various neighbourhoods for several weeks we can offer a service and peace of mind to you while you are away.

We are looking forward to a year of housesitting in Brisbane throughout 2026, and into 2027. Please read our reviews and references from other housesitting sites in the attached PDF document. Read more...
