More information about this house sitter

Hi,

Thanks for reading my profile.

I'm Rob, a 67-year-old, single, retired science educator.

I'm looking for longish house/unit/farm sits of a month or more, and I'm available to sit from November 1st, 2026.

I have plenty of experience with a wide range of domestic pets and farm animals, from goldfish to horses and everything in between.

I'm very clean and tidy, and I enjoy managing home and property the same way.

I was a stay-at-home Dad for three decades while we raised our family and built our mud brick off-grid home in central Victoria. This involved a lot of 'farm'-type work and familiarity with chainsaws, slashers, etc, etc. I completed all parts of the house build, including low-voltage power, water, etc.

During our time in central Victoria, I worked as a secondary school science teacher, builder, trades assistant, tutor, palliative aged carer, agricultural scientist, swimming instructor, and gourmet food manufacturer. I also studied several degrees in science and education, culminating in a Master of Science in astronomy and a year of PhD coursework.

I came back to WA in 2012, became a JP and cared for my now deceased parents.

I have no pets, I don't smoke or drink, and I don’t “party”. :)

I prefer my own company and a quiet environment. Of course, I’m very happy to interact with your relatives, friends or neighbours if that’s the case!

I look forward to chatting with you.

Warm regards,
