Occupation: Retired
Ages
60
  • 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 will be sitting at Hervey Bay through May/June 25th 08

  • 10 YEARS EXPERIENCED HOUSE AND PET-CARE COUPLE AVAILABLE TO MIND YOUR MELBOURNE HOME.
    We've completed assignments in Victoria, Queensland, England, France, Scotland, Ireland, Switzerland, America and Canada too. Our online portfolio plus veterinarian references, reflect our ability to occupy/care for prized properties/pets with the utmost respect and concern for absentee owners.
    "THANKS AGAIN FOR THE CARE AND AFFECTION YOU BESTOW UPON OUR PROPERTIES AND PETS." This quote of 2008 typifies home-owners comments.
    We're attentive to household needs, pet-cuddling/walking, and respectful of owners property, privacy, and neighbours too. We offer peace of mind and regular property /pet-status email updates, while securing your home against the unexpected in our well practiced low wear and tear manner.
    We've just completed a repeat assignment, caring for an 18th century property, a twin manor home with mature gardens. 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. There are two hilarious look-alike cats there plus a German Shepherd, along with an equally gorgeous Golden Retriever. We're now available to assist inner Melbourne home-owners.
    Prior to this we cared for a prime Swiss property with two resident cats, and one car to exercise, for two months duration. A magnificently converted mill, in the foothills of the Alps, while the owners headed for Thailand and North America.
    Before that, was a two-month assignment caring for a Scottish Highlands estate manor on many thousands of acres - the property where Golden Retrievers were first bred back in the mid-19th century, by Lord Tweedmouth. This was for repeat clients, avid sailors who cruise the Queensland coast regularly.
    Before that, we occupied a tranquil country residence in the Peak District of England for repeat request clients, a retired couple who frequent mainland Europe and Australia. Their property is a garden lover's delight, to say the least!
    Prior to that, was a 12-month prime townhouse and German Shepherd-care assignment for a repeat client in high-altitude Colorado, USA. The owner loves to travel, Europe is perhaps her favourite.
    Prior to that, a separate Colorado, USA, 3-month house and cat-care for Australians heading to visit family down under. They've since moved back home, down the Mornington Peninsula.
    Before there, was a Queensland pole-house with beach-view deck. A state of the art bush property on the Sunshine Coast, accessed only by 4 wheel drive.
    Earlier still, a lengthy Mornington Peninsula home and Rottweiler-care.
    The list goes on, but best we don't bore you to tears. Assignment photos can be seen by request at our separate online portfolio. All of these properties required security and accountability for owners on distant shores. Each owner has asked us back for additional home-care stints. Their pets continue to greet us as though we were family.
    We're familiar with most of Melbourne, having lived down in Mt Eliza for many years, and owned inner Melbourne homes, both south and north of the Yarra.
    We're both Australian citizens and hold unblemished driving licenses. We're both NON-SMOKERS and enjoy regular outdoor activities including sailing on Port Philip Bay.
    If our property/pet-care record matches your needs, please contact us with your particular requirements and for the link to our online portfolio.
    Inner Melbourne properties catered for throughout the remainder of 2008.

Honest, excellent sense of humour, enjoy people and new places not a gardener but can learn (its called hiring some-one in) have animals so am aware of how to look after them, excellent house-keeper (I delegate the work out to a cleaner) enjoy good food (am an excellent cook) drink, yes water... enjoy companionships from my church but not snobby, enjoy real estate as a hobby.
    Anything else more than willing to supply photos or converse by phone.

    We are all from a background in caring fields (aged care and disability) and all can provide excellent references. None of us drink or smoke.
    We have managed a holiday farm for several years and managed some holiday apartments by the sea for several years.
    We are experienced sitters and can arrange for you to speak with owners from some of our previous sits if you wish.
    We have cared for a variety of pets and they always get lots of attention because there are three of us. They have included dogs, cats, horses, sheep, goats, alpacas, rabbits and a variety of poultry.
    We are currently sitting in South Australia where we are caring for a Labrador, a labra doodle and a black cat, all of whom are inside/outside pets.
    We are free in late January 2008 and would be happy to discuss your needs for that time.

  • Hello I am a very trustworthy person and would look after your home like it was my own. I am about to complete my Bachelor of Nursing degree, having been a nurse for over 30 years, and I will be doing my Graduation year in Melbourne in 2008. I was told about house-sitting and loved the idea immediately. So much so that I have decided to house sit my own home out for that time also. Although I could tell you more about myself I would prefer to do so over the phone or face to face as I am sure you will have questions that I probable won't have answered in this advertisement. I look forward to speaking with the person who chooses me as their house-sitter.  Cheers Mary

  • Hello there, until I permanently migrated 4 years ago to Melbourne I was self-employed in advertising and also had my art-exhibitions in Switzerland and Germany. I am a non-smoker, non-drinker, consume absolutely no drugs and live a very quiet live-style as an independent woman. Over the past 9 years I have house-sat many times in Melbourne and Tasmania and looked after beautiful gardens during the summer heat. I also had the privilege to look after some places more than once. Responsibility and respect of other peoples belongings is paramount to me ( I keep my swiss-standard home owners mentioned). I am also a very keen vegie-gardener and have a high consciousness for the environment and ride my bike as much as I can - with a big smile - instead of driving the car. As an experienced handy woman I know how to use a screw driver and a hammer.
    Housesitting would be the perfect opportunity of giving me the space of finding the place/suburb in which I will buy/build my own future home.
    I am happy to provide excellent references of previous home owners and also on request a police-check can be obtained.
    Please send me an e-mail and we can meet and discuss your needs and concerns.
    I am looking forward to hearing from you. Cheers.
