• I am a single woman retired from 33 years of marriage to a medical professional at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Mn. I traveled nationally and internationally with my former husband. I love to travel and would like to have a purpose while "on the road" to wonderful new experiences.
  I maintained 3 vacation homes (one at a time) in Maine while living in Mn. and Texas over a 23 year period. Cultural opportunities and the beautiful outdoors call me. I pay strict attention to details and would take excellent care of cats, dogs, etc. Having had up to four cats at one time, multiple animals will be joy to care for. I am completely trustworthy and will provide personal as well as work references from my current employer.
  On July 3rd, 2008, I returned from a housesitting job in Ireland. Pixie the cat was a joy. My five weeks there were so wonderful.
  A clean home is important to me, so no need to worry about your beautiful home. I will take care of it as if it were my own. I look forward to hearing from you. You won't be disappointed.
  I have recently completed house sitting positions in Sydney.
  Thank you very much, Margaret Brinkman

• Are you planning a holiday?
  Would you like your home cared for responsibly
  by an experienced Home Manager?

  I am a retired Office Manager/Executive in Senior Management and have now turned my attention to hospital patients and aged care residents as a volunteer, an activity in which I can engage, in any area in which I am residing.
  I have, over the past year, performed housesitting/caretaker roles in many areas of Brisbane e.g. Mt Gravatt, Springwood, Cleveland, Birkdale, Wynnum, Wellington Point, to name a few, as well in the northern Gold Coast area, e.g. Ormeau, Hope Island etc.
  One of my greatest strengths in the business arena has been in the area of organisation. I have been very skilled at organising and setting up home/office systems and this carries over into my personal life as well. I try to arrange my life in a very organised fashion which enables me to complete any commitments with order and expertise. Accordingly you can be sure that your home will be well-maintained and safety assured during your absence. I am very security conscious and will manage your home as I have my own, with a determination to ensure your complete satisfaction.
  Over the last two years of caring for homes, I have also been engaged to provide care to elderly parents of home owners, which I have enjoyed. I have excellent references available to show my very responsible care of the elderly and properties, providing nurturing care for all.
  I am a non-smoker and have my own vehicle. I am a holder of a "Blue Card" having had all the usual police checks. I am an independent and responsible single person, a real home body, ideally suited to mind your home and gardens in your absence. I am very experienced at caring for older folk, homes and garden having filled previous similar roles.
  I enjoy pottering around the garden so light maintenance of gardens would be a joy, and I would be a presence in the home.
  I am happy to do short term sits and as I try not to book too far ahead, am usually available to fill a lot of late notice roles.
  I would be delighted to hear from you.

• Are you looking for a quiet, clean, reliable, non-smoker to look after your home and pets while you are away?
  I am a former aid worker (education project manager) with experience in East Timor, Rwanda, and Congo. I am now working on a book and am looking for a quiet location in which to write. I have recently been granted an Australian residence visa (including police clearances) as a "last remaining relative".
  I am the fortunate proprietor of my own home in the US (Hawaii) and understand the responsibilities of home-ownership; now I need to live closer to my family in Australia. I do not smoke or drink; I generally live a very quiet, reserved life. I am a clean, tidy, orderly and organized person. I love cats, and am also willing to take care of a small dog needing only limited exercise. I do not drive, and would prefer to live within easy walking distance of shops and basic services.
  I would also prefer a long term house-sit of nine months or more.
  The best way to contact me is by e-mail. I will be available by phone from early November onwards. Thank you!

• Hello, my name is Anuschka and I want to do house-sitting.
  I grew up with five siblings (three older ones and two kid siblings) and so I know what it means to keep house. e.g. a house in order and to be well structured and organised. Also we learned to accept responsibility for each other and the things we do!
  My parents set great value upon discipline; otherwise we would descend into chaos.
  We had a cat, named Oggel, for whom I was responsible. Unfortunately we never had a dog, but I worked as a dog sitter and this way I imagine I had my own dog. Not for money, only for fun, because I love them. Well, all right, sometimes I got chocolate or liquorice, which I also love.
  2006 I left home to live in Hamburg in my own flat, strictly speaking in my first share flat with two other people.
  In Hamburg I did my apprenticeship as a management assistant in publishing and after finishing my apprenticeship I stay there in the distribution department until I leave Germany in October 2010, with the aim - Australia!
  I love to do sports, travelling, reading or hang up with friends. I´m a non-smoker!
  I think I would be a great house sitter, because I know what responsibility it will involve.
  Also I WISH to do this and if you really WANT to do, you will be better than if you HAVE to do this.
  If you have any further questions, please contact me!
  I would be glad to hear from you and maybe to become better known in a personal meeting.
  (Actually I'm in Germany, but after 10th October I will have an Australian phone).
  Kind regards, Anuschka

• Hello, My name is Margaret. I am single with no dependents. a non smoker and a non drinker; a quiet private person. I grew up in the country with animals so would enjoy looking after them.
  Am also happy to water the garden and any other chores that are required to be done while the owners are away.
  My employment is with a major department store and I have been employed there part time for fourteen years. Am also able to provide references as well.
  I am happy to do short or long term house sitting.
  Currently I am minding an elderly lady's house until she sells it. Now I have also secured my first house sitting position for a lady who is going away for a month. This was with another house sitting web site. Now I am wanting to advertise I am available for more house sitting jobs.
  I have no other responsibilities so I am available whenever you need a house sitter.
  Looking forward to hearing from you.
  Kind Regards Margaret.

• Greetings and Thanks for Reading my Advertisement!
  I am a 40 yo single male looking for house-sitting positions throughout S/E Qld.
  My usual work is as a church pastor, though for the next two years I am taking a sabbatical to work on a Theological/Christian book I hope to publish in the near future. I am about 1/4 the way through it.
  I pride myself as a clean, tidy and considerate, non-smoker and non-drinker, of sound mind, good habits and in good health.
  I have grown up with animals all my life and love their company. I am good in the garden and have a sound knowledge of a gardens requirements.
  If you chose me to house sit, I pledge the following:
    *I would not invite anyone around to your house.
    *I would take great care of your pets and promise to pamper them and exercise them daily, according to your specific needs.
    *I promise to treat your home with the utmost care, keeping it neat and tidy at all times.
    *I am happy to do domestic duties which you require such as watering plants, mowing the lawns, gardening maintenance, collecting mail, vacuuming, dusting and cleaning, plus other responsibilities as per your requirements.
    *I am happy to issue a deposit for your security and peace of mind.
  Since I work from home on my laptop and have my research books with me, I can ensure all-day company for your animals and provide round the clock security for your home.
  I am currently in Brisbane and my work allows me flexibility where I work. Thus, rural or city living is fine :)
  I have another house sit now until 13th September 2010 and am available again from then onwards. Minimum 2 weeks please.
  I am an experienced house-sitter and have references as well.
  Please email or call my mobile and I will promptly get back to you.

• I'm an Australian female with plenty of previous house minding experience, including care of gardens, pools and pets etc.
  I have lived and worked abroad for many years so very flexible and adaptable to different environments. Also, as a personal live-in carer for many years for people with a disability, I have again experience in living in different households with different requirements and routines.
  I'm an animal and nature lover and will take genuine care and effort in minding your home. I am trustworthy, reliable and can provide both house minding and professional references.
  Although I am currently employed I am looking at going back to study (which I can do on-line/correspondence) so a new environment and experience to housesit would be lovely.
  I would prefer longer house minding opportunities, but will consider all. I am available at anytime, but will usually require 2weeks notice to provide to my employer.

• I am a single, non smoker, full time employed female. I am not interested in partying on at your house, nor inviting loads of my friends around to "see" the latest house that I am sitting in.
  I am currently looking for house sitting, I don't mind, apartment, town house, house flat or what ever description your home comes in. I work approximately 200 metres from Garden City. I would prefer that any house sitting is within a 50km radius of this area.
  I have been brought up with dogs, cats and some farm animals. I have looked after birds and fish as well. I am a dog and cat lover, can't decide which one makes the better pet! I love walking dogs, playing ball with them in the back yard and just having them around is a comfort.
  I enjoy the way a cat can be demanding one minute and then curling up beside you the next. Have had many a cat over the years that enjoys sleeping on or even in my bed. So if your cat does this, it won't be a problem for me.
  I do have a blue card for working with children. This requires a police check to get one. I have a drivers licence and have my own car so transport is not a problem for me.
  I do have references if you wish.

• Currently sitting.
  G'day, My name is Suzanne but I prefer to be called, Sue. I am wanting to save for my first home, and would like to live on the Sunshine Coast, that is why I have chosen this area to housesit. I am mature (don't go out partying) I'm a non smoker, I am neat and tidy, and will respect your house and contents, and look after your pets as if they were my own.
  My work involves being in other peoples houses, cleaning, and providing other personal services. As, such I have a current police check, and can provide references.
  I am trustworthy, honest, and reliable. I understand, that people need to have their house kept the way they left it... ie, things put back how they are found, and keeping things clean, and tidy.
  I am an active person, and love to be outdoors, so walking dogs will be an enjoyable activity for me, and help me to keep fit. I also enjoy the company of puddy cats, and will be happy to do garden maintenance, and mowing lawns.
  I am hoping to get a long term sit. (six months, or longer) However, I will take shorter ones as well. I am available to start immediately.
  Looking forward to being an excellent house sitter for someone soon.
  Kind Regards, Sue.

• Experienced sitter.
  Hi. I'm looking to housesit house/ acreage / flat / boat / caravan etc.
  I'm a fit 66 year old retired business owner. I had my own business making and selling all types of chocolates. After a few years I got sick and tired of the government and all their paperwork. So with a friend I spent 5 years working my way around good ole Auz.
  I worked on farms, outback stations, and in factory's. Had the best time ever. Now I am an Author.
  Even though at the present moment I do not have any animals, I have had cats, dogs, a horse, birds, and believe it or not ants. I love being around them as they bring you peace and happiness.
  I do not smoke, or have wild parties. Sitting out under the stars at night I think is the best thing in the world to do.
  The house sitting job I have at the moment is on 5 acres with animals and ten large gardens.
  Please feel free to ring me any time 0417862410 and I will be only too happy to answer any questions that you might have. intothecrystal.com is my website for my for my book and resume. Have a great day, Betty Anderson

• Hi there, we are a semi retired farming couple from Western Australia. We've leased our farm for 5 years and are taking our 8 year old son around Australia for a couple of years before he's ready to start high school.
  We are self sufficient in a very large motorhome (56' in total) with our own vehicle and power supply.
  We are looking for housesits on rural properties, or acreage big enough to fit our motorhome onto. We do have a pet, a very spoilt, very well behaved british staffy who will be tied up all the time, unless there is space away from other animals for him to run around and not get into mischief.
  Being farmers we are very experienced in the care of farm animals, including sheep and cows, have some experience with horses (enough to rug and feed them) and have had a variety of farm birds, and also fish.
  Long term stays would definitely be appreciated, as our son can go to school, and we can also look for work to replenish the coffers. We aren't in any rush to move on and QLD is our chosen area to spend a fair amount of time. We are looking at moving here before our son starts high school, and would like the chance to experience life in the smaller communities around the bigger regional cities and towns before committing to a major move.
  We will be available for house sitting next year (2011) from about the start of April as we will be exploring Victoria and NSW for the first 3 months of the year, so if you are planning a longer trip away next year, then we would definitely be interested in hearing from you.

• Rebecca is a yoga instructor and I work as a criminal lawyer. I am currently completing a short term contract in Newmarket, Brisbane of which will cease around mid September.
  Hence we hope to care for someone's home from today's date until then.
  We are very responsible and we both thoroughly enjoy time in the garden and spending time with pets. Rebecca will spend most of the time at home, preferably gardening and cooking, of which I will be home around 5ish.
  Naturally, at our age and professions, we are a bit past the party animal stage.
  We hope we can assist you and look forward to taking care of your abode.

• I am a writer and yoga teacher living in Melbourne. I've kept my own home for 25 years, raising two children on my own. I am tidy, and used to work as a house cleaner, so I know how to keep a place clean in an environmentally friendly manner. My children are old enough to live their own lives now, so I'd be house sitting on my own, and loving it, as Maxwell Smart would say.
  I love animals and will happily look after fish, birds, dogs and cats. Walking dogs is no problem. Nor am I fussed if the animal sleeps on the bed with me.
  I am quiet, and like these times away from home to read, write, take walks, and generally just be. I'm not a wild party sorta girl. More a meditation and 'om' sorta girl. Deva Premal rather than AC/DC.
  I'm vegetarian, a non-smoker and non-drinker. My addictions are books, and chocolate.
  I don't mind a bit of gentle weeding in good weather, but draw the line at remodelling your garden or building a fence.
  I empty letterboxes daily, don't make phone calls (I would have my mobile phone with me for that), and my own laptop.
  Delconways Home Helpers and the City of Monash Home Help service can both attest to my honesty and integrity.

  We have never done house sitting before but have had house sitters here in our home when we have travelled.
  We would like to be able to have a home in Brisbane to look after and stay in for 2-3 months at a time each year so we can be near our family without actually being in their pockets. Next year is a special wedding in September and we would like to be around for all the pre-wedding fun.
  We can provide personal references if required.

• Dear homeowner,
  We are an active, non-smoking, reliable couple who are highly regarded by owners of the numerous homes and pets we have cared for (references will be provided on request).
  With three years experience in house-sitting we have cared for gardens, pools, birds, chooks, cats and an assortment of much loved dogs. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Social Science degree at the university of the Sunshine Coast and John has been in Procurement and Distribution management.
  We have been on a journey, having left our substantive positions (myself with the Department of Community Services and John with the Health system in NSW - both requiring security checks) in order to pursue other avenues and opportunities, and began our adventure in Asia where we worked as volunteer teachers in a Cambodian orphanage.  I have used the past three years to study and we have enjoyed the housesitting experience so much that we have decided to continue for the time being.
  We have owned homes and pets (including poodles, Doberman, cats, aviary of cockatiels, chooks etc) and maintained our own vegie and native gardens, and understand the value of caring for a home. We love animals and bond quickly with them, we are clean living, house proud people and we treat the homes and possessions of others with a great deal of care and respect.
  We have excellent references from all previous house sits, as well as character references.  We are happy to supply a bond if required and we look forward to hearing from you if you are interested in having us care for your homes, pets etc.
  Kind regards, Vickie and John

• Hello Let us tell you a little about ourselves.
  We are both 60yrs old, but don't look it, so we have been told. We have been motel managers, for the past 4 yrs, our last posting was on the Gold Coast, we managed a 21 room motel for 2yrs. Also we have owned our home & have found it so hard to find reliable caretakers, so we are interested in house-sitting for homeowners once again.
  We provide a loving & caring environment, for your pets, gardens, lawns, & property. We are honest, & reliable.
  We endeavour to meet motel owners, or homeowners & their pets, if any before sitting.
  Plz contact us, we are sure that you won't be disappointed. We have in the past stayed in contact with family's, & in turn all have become close friends.
  Kind Regards, Lynette & Robb.

  We have been house sitting for a year, have completed 6 house sits and have enjoyed each one, there has been houses with 2 dogs, 2 cats, or one dog and we have loved the animals and had such fun with them. We have our motorhome after renting out our home in Brisbane, we wanted adventure and find house sitting allows us to get to know an area and its people much easier. We love this. We love the garden and enjoy maintaining them. We enjoy living in a very neat and tidy home so make sure that the house we are sitting is well maintained.
  I have worked in many places around the world and Brian was in the Royal Navy for some time and then transferred to the Merchant navy both in UK and Aust. We have children and grandchildren that we love to be in touch with all around Aust. We both are good cooks, we read a lot, go to the movies, enjoy coffee down the street, or sitting on the deck at home.
  We would love to meet with you and discuss how we can help you have peace of mind when leaving your beloved pets and home in our hands.

• Our names are Judy and Mike Buckley. We are needing to house sit from August until late October 2010. We have demolished our old home in Cleveland where we have lived for Twenty-two years and are currently in the planning process of building two houses on our block. The Redland Council has held us up considerably at the DA approval stage hence our need for long term housesitting.
  We have been house sitting since February, first in Cleveland and now in Holland Park West. We have personal references and can obtain a reference from the house owner in Cleveland.
  I am a teacher at St Anthony's Alexandra Hills and my husband, Mike, is a Relocations Consultant in Ipswich. Of course we would love to get a house-sitting position in the Redlands but failing that are happy to be anywhere on the East or close West of Brisbane. We are a clean and house conscious couple, non smokers and would care for your house and pets with the utmost care. We would love to meet and speak with you if you are considering an overseas trip without the worry of leaving your house and pets.
  We understand that we would be responsible for gardens and house cleaning as part of our agreement. Please contact us as we are anxious to get a position organised soon.
  Sincerely Judy and Mike Buckley

• Having now retired (hooray), we're driving to Brisbane in July, then exploring Qld-NSW areas Oct to mid-Dec.
  We have lived in the NT permanently since 1974, survived Cyclone Tracy(+), ran our own business for over 20 years (up to a dozen employees at a time, many long term), and worked for private employers/government departments before and after that. The provision of references, police checks and any other information required is easily arranged.
  Animals have always featured prominently in our lives. We currently have a domestically bred part-dingo (great pet which will be well cared for whilst we're away) plus a resident frog with its own bucket-home in the laundry, not to mention the spiders, geckos, centipedes, scorpions and so on - always interesting, with years of experience which have taught us to efficiently cope with traumas and emergencies.
  We're easy-going but, at the same time, very conscientious, between us enjoy travelling, walking, cooking, reading, computing (have our own laptop), preferring the quiet life in the company of family, friends and acquaintances, old and new.
  We understand and appreciate the concern of owners that their property and pets are cared for safely and securely, as we our ours, and would expect to receive very comprehensive information about routines, household requirements, 'special' animal treats, etc., all information to ensure we are in a position do a good job. Signing agreements, very acceptable.
  Our intention is to spend from October to mid-December exploring the Queensland and NSW countryside, ending up in Byron Bay for Christmas. As well as touring the area, our idea is to see whether we feel we would like to retire to one of the eastern states, hence we have no specific travel itinerary, as yet.
  So, we look forward to being able to coordinate our trip around house sitting arrangements which we hope to win between October and mid-December.
  Cheers Gill and Erwin

  I have a number of family members in Queensland and would like to be closer to my son who is attending University at the Gold Coast.

  We are pet lovers of particularly dogs. Gardens are lovely but only if someone else does the hard maintenance (good task masters of contract gardeners!). Pool maintenance must be done by a professional! It must be easy to commute to Turbot St (river end).

• RETIRED, RESPONSIBLE, ANIMAL LOVING, PROFESSIONAL COUPLE WHO LOVE A CHANGE OF SCENERY. EXPERIENCED SITTERS
  
  We are fortunate to be an early retired couple with successful careers and home-ownership behind us.
  Ric is a former Journalist and Foreign Correspondent who ran newsrooms in various places and for the last few years worked as a lecturer part-time at QUT University in Brisbane. Gill was a senior Fashion Buyer for a large UK company, but became more interested in working with organisations that do some good in the community.
  We jumped off the treadmill relatively early, met 12-years ago in South America while we were doing voluntary work, and have been managing to balance our lives ever since with some less stressful paid work, voluntary work and lots of travel.
  We are fit, healthy, tidy, non-smoking, and reasonably handy around house and garden.  We feel equally comfortable in big cities and the bush and like to divide our time between the two.
  We genuinely like animals of all sorts - having grown up with dogs, cats, sheep and the odd budgie but our desire to keep travelling through our fifties and onwards means we can't keep our own pets.
  As travel and change are a big part of our lives, we are pretty flexible about times and places.  We have a 4WD with a slide-on camper that takes us just about anywhere around Australia.  We spent last year in the Grampians, Victorian Alps, Adelaide, Woodend - Victoria, Sunshine Coast and Brisbane.
  Having sold our home, we are trying a number of new locations around Australia before deciding where we would like to buy again.
  We are honest and reliable and will look after your home, garden and loved pets with genuine care and respect.
  We would be happy to provide references and any other information you require.  As we're often travelling out of phone signal, please Email us and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

  We are both clean and tidy. Non smokers. Empty nesters (no kids at home) Financially secure. Pet lovers. Healthy living couple. Reliable. Focused. Honest and trustworthy. Character references available.
  Understand the importance of maintenance of lawn and gardens. (Neglected gardens & lawns is a sure sign that no-one is home). We have common sense and have the knowledge and skills of maintaining a home.
  We look forward to hearing from you!

• I would like to house sit on the north side of Brisbane if possible.
  I am currently house sitting for 6 months at Hamilton and in recent times have sat two homes, one at Ascot and one at Clayfield.
  A home owner should pick me as I have had plenty of experience sitting large homes and their pets in this area.

• We are a middle aged couple, who have recently sold a large home in Bridgeman Downs. We are now considering our next move on where to live and what to buy. Our twenty year old daughter would live with us.
  We would be happy to house sit for twelve months or more while we decide.
  We have always owned pets but don't have any at present. I am a florist by trade and therefore love to garden.
  We are both hale and hearty and could look after the house and garden easily.

• Hi. My name is Paul.
  As my headline says, I am a mature age (fifty years old) Primary School teacher. I was an industrial electrician for half my career. So, I know how to look after things and maintain your home and yard in pristine condition. I suppose you could say that I am the perfect house husband.
  I am very meticulous with cleaning. I actually supported myself through university by being a domestic cleaner.
  The reason(s) why I am wanting to house sit are:
  a) My two children are now in their early twenties and have their own lives and homes.
  b) I had been working in Far North Qld and am considering returning north again in 2011
  c) I am currently sharing accommodation and a friend suggested that I would be perfect for anyone who wanted their house looking after.
  I can provide references that attest to my loyalty and discretion. I am an extremely responsible person and respect other s property, wants and needs.
  Oh, I am single. I've been divorced for the last ten years and have concentrated on my teaching career. I do socialise but prefer to put my energies into my students, my personal development, my fitness, and my grandson.
  And I grew up (in Tasmania on farms) around all sorts of animals and have a good rapport. I will definitely look after any animal or pet you have.
  I certainly prefer to do long-term sitting.

• Now retired, after 30 years working as a psychologist and consultant in international aid, I am taking this opportunity to retrain as a holistic healer, something that has interested me for years. Quite an adventure! I have rented my flat in Cairns, drawn an aged pension and committed myself to a course of study.
  I love gardening. I have two dogs of my own who are now with my son in Hawaii.
  You will be able to check up on me if you google my name on the internet, but I can also provide many references.  The best thing, I believe, is to meet.
  I will be back in Australia staying with my daughter in the Gold Coast on 27 January but am available on my email at all times.
  I will look forward to meeting you.
  Davida (I am a woman - pronounced "Dah-vee-dah".)

  We are a young, reliable and trustworthy family. I am a stay at home mum and Adam works as an armed security officer.

We are a pet loving family and are happy to walk, feed, water, exercise, play with and give lots attention to pets of all shapes and sizes. Both girls adore all kinds of animals and we can see them becoming great playmates with any pets we care for.

• We have been house sitting in NZ although I had done a lot of it in the Hunter Valley before we married.
  We own a motor-home and have loved the travelling but have a few problems with it at present so would like to keep up the life style of moving and caring for pets, but I might add that they do get very spoilt.
  We love walking and getting to know different areas.
  We are honest reliable and caring about pets, homes and gardens.
  We also love to meet people from all walks of life.

• I have had extensive experience caring for others and doing full time volunteer work for The salvation Army and for Military Veterans. I own two homes of my own, one which I have rented so I know the value of a good carer / tenant.
  I own a dog which gets treated with intense TLC, much to my wife's chagrin at times. She is a very senior nurse with an intense job so we find time apart is beneficial for both of us. Naturally, she would visit and assist me during her breaks.
  I prefer warmer climes, but if you are lovely people (as I'm sure you are) I'd be delighted to help you out.

• I am recently widowed and after nursing my husband for the last 3 years I am looking to take a few short breaks and see new places. I am fit and healthy and have no medical problems. My late husband and I have owned a couple of rural properties so am very comfortable in rural situations. Eight years ago we moved to a suburb near Coffs Harbour. I like animals and would not have a problem caring for yours. My home is very neat and clean as is my garden. I do not like to see anything messy.  A couple of years ago I did some volunteer work at the Coffs Harbour Base Hospital so have had all the police checks. I can provide references from people that know me. I am also happy and friendly so would get on with your neighbours. I am quite and do not like loud music. I like a social drink but do nor frequent pubs and clubs. I do not smoke. I have just read through my add and I sound really boring but I am not!!!

• 10YRS EXPERIENCED HOUSE-SIT / PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COUPLE AVAILABLE. MANY REPEATS SEE PHOTOS- "THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE CARE AND AFFECTION YOU BESTOW ON OUR PROPERTIES AND PETS." - This quote of 2008, reflects comments by all the property-owners we've assisted.
  - We've completed assignments in France, Australia, Ireland, England, Switzerland, America, Scotland and Canada. - Our separate online portfolio of assignments plus veterinarian references reflect our ability to occupy/care for prized properties, projects, hospitality retreats with the utmost respect and concern for absentee owners.
  - We're nearing completion of a repeat assignment, caring for an 18th century Irish property, a twin manor property set on several acres. - This has been an annual 7-month long assignment since 2004. The owners relocate to their other homes in Africa and elsewhere, for lengthy periods. Additional photos can be seen at our separate online portfolio - all of these properties and projects required security and accountability for owners on distant shores. Each owner has asked us back for additional property management stints.
  - We relocate to new properties with practiced ease. We both have unblemished driving licenses, if it comes to driving homeowner's vehicles. Currently, a Jaguar and a Hyundai to exercise at this Irish assignment. And yes, we're home-owners too.
  - We're familiar with much of Europe, Australia, and North America, having lived on all three continents for several years. We don't have children or pets if this is of concern to you.
  - We're both NON-SMOKERS and enjoy regular outdoor activities including running, mountain-biking, bush-walking and tennis. Basically staying healthy is our aim while completing assignments, engaging in work projects and stand-in positions. Yes, we've learnt to wear many hats while holding fort, so to speak. Our sailing skills got a good brush off while based by Port Philip Bay in Melbourne Australia in 2008. Our snow-boarding & horse riding skills, have received less practice of late.
  - We relish cooking from the veggie patch, local market produce too and learning regional nuances - one of the rewards of experiencing new environments. We're computer literate, skilled at admin duties and retain a cheerful telephone manner.
  - We're city-security conscious and rural environment friendly. We're energy conscious and maintain a tidy house - it's easy to detect if anything's amiss then.
  - If our property management record matches your needs, please contact us with your particular requirements and for the web-link to our comprehensive online portfolio.
