More information about this house sitter

Hi, my name is Shelley.

I have moved to the Sunshine Coast to be closer to my parents who live in Caloundra. I am a self funded early retiree (47YO) so have all of the time needed to devote to caring for your home and pets while you are away. The last position I held was in the Commonwealth Public Service where I held a Top Secret security clearance.

I have recently completed four house sits on the Sunshine Coast and can provide you excellent references :-). I also have a current Police Check.

Having been a landlord myself I understand the importance of finding an honest person who is easy to deal with who will take good care of your home. I am a private person who does not smoke and I enjoy living in a clean and organised home.

I have owned dogs and horses (started riding lessons when I was 6yo) all of my life and have always treated them like cherished members of my family. I understand how difficult it is to trust them with others but I can guarantee you that they will get nothing but the very best of care from me while providing them with lots of love and cuddles. I am often looking after friends horses and dogs for them when they go away. I volunteered for two years at Pegasus Riding for the Disabled and walked dogs at the RSPCA, I also studied Vet Nursing for 12 months. I have owned a Beagle, Poodle, Rottweiler, German Shepherd, Italian Greyhound X Jack Russell and Border Collie and have loved each and every one of them, I have never ever met a dog that I did not like :-). I believe that if your dog is able that at least one one hour walk per day is essential as it helps with bonding and can stop unwanted behaviours such as barking etc.

I will be looking to buy some acreage in the Sunshine Coast region in 2017 and will use my spare time looking around and getting to know the area.

While I have identified myself as single for the purpose of house sitting I am actually married. My husband will be staying in Canberra to sell our house and will join me hopefully by Christmas 2016 but in reality it could be longer than that. He holds the position of Executive College Maths teacher and may come and stay during the school holidays so can help out with any extra maintenance that may be required on your property while he is visiting :-)

I have also stated that I have not pets which is true for the purpose of house sitting but I do have a well behaved 10YO Thoroughbred gelding who I will be agisting on the Sunshine Coast (would be perfect though if your property was suitable for him too). I also have a lovely little extremely well behaved 7yo Italian Greyhound X named Callie but she will be staying with my husband in Canberra as it is too difficult to find house sitting positions with a little dog in tow, but hey,... if you are wanting a longer term house sittter longer than three months and are happy for me to have my little dog too then that would be awesome :-)...

I am more than capable of doing any mowing or gardening. My dad who lives in Caloundra is also available to lend a hand if required, but honestly, I am very fit and capable, I walk every day for an hour or more and ride my horse five days a week. I lived as a sole parent for 18 years and had very large blocks of land to mow which I did with ease. I have also been a jillaroo and stable hand so am more than willing and able to get my hands dirty.

I have a current Australian Federal Police check.

House sitting references.

Character reference from a Clinical psychologist who has know me for 25 years (as a friend not a patient :-)).

If you have any questions please give me a call or send me an email :-)

I am now on the Sunshine Coast and available to meet with you :-)
