Reliable Retiree for Peace of Mind

More information about this house sitter

Hello, I'm Patricia.

My official name is Teresa, but I've always been known as Pat. I'm retired and love travelling, meeting new people, and exploring new places.

I'm a non-smoker with reliable transport and have a calm, caring, and responsible nature. Honesty, reliability, clear communication, and treating people, pets, and homes with genuine respect are values I live by.

Before retiring, I worked as a bank manager and later in customer service within the government sector, where I enjoyed helping and supporting people.

Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I shared 21 wonderful years with my beloved black cat, Fruitbat, and understand just how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and settled while their owners are away.

I've house sat for friends, family, and friends of family in both Australia and the UK, caring for dogs, cats, fish, and birds. I take the time to learn each pet's routine and personality, ensuring they receive the care, companionship, exercise, and affection they're used to.

I pride myself on keeping homes clean, tidy, secure, and well cared for. Friends often say they return to a home that's cleaner than when they left!

I know inviting someone into your home is built on trust. My goal is to care for your pets and home as if they were my own, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax and enjoy your time away.

Please take a look at my references, which reflect my reliability, attention to detail, and the genuine care I provide.

For me, house sitting is the perfect combination of two things I love, travelling and spending time with animals. I look forward to giving your pets the kindness, companionship, and loving care they deserve while you're away.

My daughter, Kate, occasionally helps me when house-sitting jobs overlap. She is a reliable Occupational Therapist who works from home, giving her plenty of time to spend with pets. Kate has fostered cats in both Australia and Abu Dhabi, and like me, she absolutely adores animals and treats every pet as if it were her own. Read more...
