Two Intrepid Teachers

Two intrepid teachers (retired)

We are not currently looking for sits, thank you

Early in 2019 we left our teaching positions, rented out our home and hit the road. Our home was 25 acres in Central Queensland where we spent 25 years raising our two beautiful daughters as well as cats, dogs, chooks, guinea pigs and mice. We have since sold that property and bought two smaller properties, one Lennai’s parents live in at Emu Park, QLD, and the other is an investment property in Tasmania
We now divide our time between travelling Tasmania in our RV, spending time with family at our home in Emu Park on the Capricorn Coast Queensland and we have recently discovered the joy of overseas travel. Pet sitting in the UK has added a very special dimension to our travels as we get to experience life as a local and enjoy the company of wonderful pets!

Graeme had been a high school teacher for nearly 40 years, is still involved with the Australian Air Force Cadets youth development organisation and was also an officer in the RAAF (Reserve).
Lennai had been an early childhood and special needs teacher for over 30 years with a break to be an At Home Mum and was actively involved with the Australian Breastfeeding Association.

Obviously, we love to travel, meet people and make new friends. We are both non-smokers and very light, social drinkers. We are very aware of the responsibilities which come with house sitting and are always appreciative of the trust that home owners/pet parents give us

Pets, gardening and basic pool maintenance are not a problem as we have experience in these areas. We have a love of nature and enjoy animals (friendly ones), gardens and gardening, bushwalking, kayaking and exploring new places. As well as embracing an active lifestyle, we pride ourselves in being organised and house proud with a highly developed attention to detail.
We have had considerable experience taking care of other people’s homes and pets in both Australia and the UK and find that it very much enriches our lives, giving us much appreciated time with animals as due to our travelling lifestyle we are unable to have our own pets
Although we don’t sit full time, only as it fits into our lifestyle at the time, when we undertake a sit we ensure that we take our responsibilities seriously and do our utmost to ensure peace of mind
We look forward to hearing from you Read more...
