More information about this house sitter

We are a pretty fit and healthy couple in our mid 70s who have now been in retirement (again) for about 15 months.

In 2022 we did a 4 month road trip via outback NSW and Qld as far north as Lawn Hill Nat park, the Gulf towns of Bourke Town, Karumba and Cook Town.
We are currently on the tail end of a 6 month tour of the Red centre, the Kimberley and Pilbara ranges and the west coast of WA.
Just 7 yrs ago we did the Classic Inca Trail in Peru - a 5 day trek that took us to heights of over 4000 Mtrs carrying day packs and clothing to cover the quickly changing weather patterns. This was after my wife Helen had had 2 hip ops!
For the last 3 years we have been with Pawshake looking after people’s dogs while they holiday.
We have been dog owners ourselves up until late 2017 when our last dog Bonnie had to be put down.
We have down sized to the lovely Bass Coast town of Wonthaggi after sadly leaving our lovely home in Melbourne’s outer east with gardens we had developed over the previous 32 yrs surrounding the pool and house.

We have 2 daughters and their families living in Watsonia and Wantirna and our oldest has just returned to Melb. We are both involved with the Lions Club of South Vermont and have been members for some 12 years - hence we are often coming up to Melbourne.

Much of our spare time in Wonthaggi has been developing a garden that had basically seen no improvements in its 10yr lifespan - so yes we are big garden lovers.

The Mindahome website, unlike others doesn't push for reviews either by the house owner or house sitter so consequently there are at least 2 or 3 reviews that have not been published. Sophie in Pascoevale has had us sit on 3 seperate occasions with the last one just a few weeks ago where we were asked to look after a friends dog as well as her own.

We do like to treat other people's homes as we would expect others to look after ours. Read more...
