Safe, caring hands allowing you to relax

More information about this house sitter

Hello!
I’m a “care package deal” that comes with two delightful, house trained male oodles, Ronnie and Reggie. They steal hearts, not shoes! See a photo above after a recent fresh groom.
I’m just starting on this official house minding adventure, but have looked after many friend’s homes and pets, including administering medication and sub-cutaneous injections. I’ve always had dogs and cats in my life, and volunteered with a community dog rehoming group when I lived in Chile.
For your peace of mind, I’ll send you updates, photos and/or videos every day and will be contactable on WhatsApp. Your pet’s diet, health and wellbeing will always be my priority. Also, if your pets are used to sharing your bed, that’s fine with me, too.

About me:
I’m a “reformed corporate executive” now studying F/T for a Masters of trauma focused mental health and training my good boy, Ronnie to be an accredited clinical therapy dog.
I’m at home during the day and enjoy quiet evenings. Staying in, cooking, painting, watching crime shows and obscure documentaries.
This means I have plenty of capacity to care for your home, garden and pets. Especially for those anxious fur kids who don’t like being left alone for hours!
Knowing that what matters most to you are safe and being minded conscientiously and kindly is a certainty.
I’m a non-smoker, enjoy an occasional wine, and don’t use substances. Cleanliness and leaving spaces as, or better, than when I found them is a given. A home baked treat will be waiting upon your return home.
Animal welfare, child protection and giving back are important to me. I believe trust, respect and curiosity are the foundations for a meaningful life and these are my personal guideposts.

Why does house & pet minding appeal to me now?
At the end of 2024 I “retired” from my profession, left the hustle of Sydney and returned to the leafy western suburbs of Brisbane after many years away. This is a temporary situation while helping a family member.
My intention is to establish my permanent residence and practice in NSW’s Northern Rivers next year. But in the interim I’m looking at house minding to have some space and time for myself.

Ideally, longer term arrangements are preferred but short stays/weekends are ok if the distance isn’t too far.
