More information about this house sitter

We are from the UK, travelling in Australia from October 2023 to October 2024

(Reviews available on another housesitting site - currently investigating transfer/copy to Mindahome.)

We are a retired couple on a 10 year plan to travel the world getting to know local people and cultures. We feel that the best way of achieving this is not as tourists, but by living in the community. As part of this we look for volunteering opportunities on longer sits. We enjoy the companionship of and caring for pets. Our main pastime is walking, whether in the country with all that nature has to offer, or in the city with historic buildings, museums and cultural events.

We spent 2017 to 2019 in New Zealand and Australia, returning to the UK via Singapore, Malaysia and Japan. We had a wonderful long housesit near Loch Ness during covid.
Since then we have resumed our travels and housesitting, first in Costa Rica, then the USA and Canada, followed by Belize and Panama. Summer 2023 found us in the UK before departing in the autumn for Australia.

Listed below, starting with the most recent and working backwards, are the house sits we have done since 2017. Among them are diabetics - a cat and a dog, which required injections, an epileptic dog which required care during fits, several 'senior' cats and dogs, several large dogs and a dragon with live food. All the homeowners have kindly provided us with reviews/references. We enjoy the companionship of pets. We also like walking. When we stay in a home, we care for it as we would our own.
