not into the party scene and prefer to stay at home.
I am employed as a Public Servant with a Government department which
requires an annual police/security check for employment.
I am very neat, trustworthy, reliable person and would be happy to help
out those who need pets & gardens looked after whilst they are away.
I look forward to hearing from you.

- ATTENTION HOME OWNERS!
I have been a home owner all my life so I know what it is like to have
people in your home. I am a non smoker and a non drinker. I do not have a
pet. I am also self employed and see the correlation to home owner and
renter and business owner and employee. People do not in general look
after a house the same as if it was one they owned and in business people
usually do not work the same as if they owned the company.
My house was sold on Sunday, quicker than I expected and am therefore
homeless early September. I have yet to decide where I want to buy and
feel that if I try homesitting for awhile, it might help to make my mind
up on what suburb suits me. I am a single parent with a 10 year old
daughter.
I am able to supply references if requested.

Ages

-
Are you planning a
holiday?
Would you like your home cared for responsibly by an experienced
Home Manager?
I am a mature woman, experienced house
sitter, and just completed housesitting roles in Springwood and Manly
areas in Brisbane.
I am a retired Office Manager/ Executive
having worked all my adult life in this profession and in many
industries, at senior management level. I have needed to be very organised
and methodical in my approach to my work and this has carried over into my
home life. You can be sure that your home will
be managed accordingly, well-maintained and safe. I am very conscious of
security issues as I have been in my home and will treat your home in the
same manner. I have also served as a 'home organiser' for friends, family,
etc as my skills have become known.
I operate as a volunteer in hospitals and aged
care facilities and am able to do this work in any area. I am a holder of
a "Blue Card" having had all the thorough police checks and have excellent
references. I am an animal
lover having grown up with dogs and cats, at different stages in my life,
as well as having my own, both dog and cat, in my adult life. Both have
now, sadly, passed away and I do miss them. My dog was an Australian
terrier, named Rascal, who loved to chase balls and sit on the deck to
welcome me home. My cat's name was Igor, named after pianist Igor
Stravinsky. Igor was a dear pet who loved to survey his kingdom from the
vantage point of his servant’s lap (i.e. me) while I was employed in the
job of stroking his body. Both were dearly loved and are sadly missed.
I am a non-smoker, have no dependent children, my own vehicle and am able
to come to meet with you for discussion of your housesitting situation. I
enjoy pottering around the garden so garden maintenance is a pleasure for
me and I will be a presence in your home during your absence.
I am available for short or
long terms house-sitting situations.
I am available Now until 21 August 08.
I can be contacted on phone # 0422 396 033.

- Hi Homeowners,
We are in the process of removing and rebuilding so are looking for
alternate accommodation for long term periods. Prior to getting married we
had both owned our own properties and also rented. We are both
professional people (I'm currently taking a break to raise our young son)
and very reliable and responsible. We would care for your home and your
pets (no cats - Torsten is allergic) as if they were
our own. With me being home with the baby offers additional security as
your home would always have someone around even during the day. I have
lived on acreage property before and enjoy gardening so you can be assured
your plants will also be tended to.
We would prefer northside of Brisbane but would
happily consider any area in a 10klm radius (approx).
I have house sat before for friends of my parents when they were overseas,
looking after the home, garden, dog and fish for 7 weeks.
Please feel free to call me to discuss your needs and expectations.

Do you have furry family members that
don't cope well boarding? Are they used to a level of love and
attention that others find difficult to provide?
Don't want to leave your home unmonitored and unsafe due to the telltale
signs of an empty house?
If you answered yes to either of the above questions, we are here to
help!
We are reliable, trustworthy non -
smokers. We are available to housesit from the beginning of October
onwards in Brisbane or on the Gold Coast.
We are a careful, mature couple who will respectfully housesit your home
and love your precious pets in Australia while you enjoy a much deserved
break this year. This leaves you completely free to enjoy your holiday
to the fullest without a care in the world about your greatest asset and
beloved pets!
We spent 7 months last year on a house sitting tour of Australia, and we
loved every minute of it. We have shining references that we were very
grateful for. We hope you can better them on your return! I have been a volunteer at the Cat's
Protection League as well as our local wildlife park and have felt a
strong connection with animals since I was very small. This means your
furry family members are in the best possible hands that you could hope
for!
We take the stress off your friends and family to drop over and clear
mail, also potentially save you hundreds of dollars in pet boarding or
dog walking. If you do a search for 'pet sitter fees Australia' you will
get an idea of this cost. With us around there is no
need to put furry kids through the distress of boarding or deal with the
fear that an unreliable family member may forget to feed or take care of
them.
Our full time job while we are house sitting is to carefully maintain
your greatest asset to your exacting standards, which means you are
completely free to enjoy your time away without a care in the world.
Every day and night we housesit, your home will look lived in, your pets
and plants will enjoy the same attention, love and care that they are
used to from you. We feel that house sitting provides the
perfect solution for all parties, especially pets, plants, gardens and
relatives!
