-1355- Names . . Ric & Gillian Jay -1354- Names . . Mary Thompson Boyd
Dates available: July 1st 2009 ongoing (except August 22 - Sept 2)
Preferred area: All areas
Occupation:
Retired Journalist/Lecturer, Retired Fashion Buyer
Ages
54 & 53
  • RETIRED, RESPONSIBLE, ANIMAL LOVING, PROFESSIONAL COUPLE WHO LOVE A CHANGE OF SCENERY.
    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 -  (although Gill is not a big fan of mice).... 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've spent the year so far in the Grampians, Victorian Alps, Adelaide 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.

    I will leave your home in the same excellent condition it was when I arrived!

Service Advisor

  • Hi, my name is Yvonne Gibson and I am a very friendly, mature, happy, responsible, non-smoking person who has been house-sitting now for a few months and loving it. After renting for 4 years without any problems and having referees for all places rented or house-sat, I am finding it very exciting as I love meeting people and this is certainly a good way of expanding friendship. Although a social person I would never invite friends to your home as I would respect your privacy and possessions. I have had gardens and pets in the past that I have dearly loved and would treat yours in the same manner.
    I have great references from long term friends and work colleagues that I could email to you or bring along in my personal port-folio that I have put together.
    One other thing, although not as yet, I am contemplating having a little "mate" come with me to my next house-sit in a form of a kitten (or possibly when I come to you a fully grown cat). I have been longing for a kitten for some time now and my reasoning for a kitten over a puppy is that I can have her inside most of the time, and I would rear her to be an inside cat, fully trained of course, and to be with me everywhere I go, even on outings (if possible).
    So, I hope this does not stop me from sitting your home while you are away enjoying your holiday.
    Thank you and look forward to sitting for you.

  • 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.

  • I am a semi retired female who enjoys travel and new experiences, and a non smoker, non drinker.  I have previously worked as a nanny with sole care and responsibility for maintaining their precious household, children and animals, while the parents were overseas for several weeks at a time so consequently I have a nationwide police clearance. I own my own house on the Gold Coast, and I have a wonderful family and grandchildren, but I do need to have a break now and then.  I have had a sitter mind my place for three months when I visited my son in China, and I had the thought "I should be doing this".
    I have always had my own little dog, but he died and I have not got another one yet, so I have total empathy for how you feel leaving you little animals, with someone who cares..  I feel at this time of my life I have a great opportunity to explore.. I am happy to do my yoga and meditation, I paint and read a lot and luxuriate in that as when I am home I am usually very busy and unwind time is a rarity, so your animals would have fairly constant company, and I would love to look after your little friends, and would respect your home as my own.  I am available now for short or longer term stays.
    I
    have some great references from previous house sits.

All areas.
Occupation:
geophysicist and home clean service (retired)
Ages 64 & 50
  • We are Rodney(64yrs) & Rose(50yrs) and we hail from Adelaide. Rose was born in the Philippines, has lived here for 27years and has been an Australian citizen for 19years. I am a retired geophysicist, and in 2004 Rose closed a successful house cleaning service to join me in retirement.
    We have four children, two boys and two girls, aged from 21 thro' 31yrs and all now living independently...
    We have over the past few years sat 'upmarket' homes for friends and acquaintances, and we come with excellent references incl police clearance. We are animal lovers and have always had dogs and cats of our own, not to mention rabbits and guinea pigs in the early days...
    We enjoy yoga, isometrics and tai chi regularly every morning for some years now. we walk each day, and also ride push bikes, play table tennis and fish, but primarily we surf.
    Since 2004 we have been spending 6 to 8 months of each year, the southern winter, on a tropical beach on the western pacific rim, north of the equator, in a home rented by us. A small eco-frontier island, Calicoan island belongs to the Philippines. Great surf out front is the reason we are there.
    In the northern winter, November thro' April, the north east monsoons blow on our weather coast, 'spoiling' the surf and the ambience. That is when we come home to see our family and friends.
    In early 2007 we sold our Moana beach house in S.A. to give us more options in our retirement.
    We sponsor local village kids thro' primary and secondary school, and teach them to surf with equipment that would otherwise not be available to them. In the tropics we are both writing, short stories and an autobiography. In between surf's we kayak, read, make shell jewellery and enjoy siesta's.
