More information about this house sitter

Hi! I'm Ryan, a reliable and tidy non-smoker based in Brisbane. I grew up surrounded by animals — dogs and cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember so caring for pets comes naturally to me, and honestly it's one of the things I miss most about not having my own right now.

I work for the Queensland Government in the Justice Department, and on the side I run a small business creating new technologies to help people with disabilities and in aged care, work I find genuinely meaningful. I work from home most days, only heading into the city on Monday afternoons, so I'm a great fit for house-sitting: I'm home the vast majority of the time, which means pets are rarely left alone for long.

I'm looking after a few sits over the coming months because I'm in a bit of a transition — my housemate and I are moving to the UK in August 2026, so between leases I'm keen to stay somewhere with a bit of life and companionship rather than an empty hostel room. My good mate Jayson would be staying with me; he's just as tidy and reliable, and we'd treat your home and pets with real care. We're both happy to follow your routines to the letter, keep the place clean, and send you regular updates and photos.

I've looked after friends' and family's homes and pets plenty of times before, and I'm more than happy to provide references and a police check. Feel free to reach out for a video call or to meet beforehand — I'd love to put your mind at ease and hear all about your pets. Read more...
