Senior RAAF Officer
Ages:

-
I'm a retired RAAF Officer with complete freedom in
relation to time. However, I am also a member of The Salvation Army who
does considerable volunteer work, primarily in the USA. Notable
achievements include organising the warehouse for the Pentagon Disaster
post 9 /11 (150 000 sq ft warehouse full of brand new donated items). I
have also organised four fundraising campaigns, two in Arlington Va,
and two in Lawton, Ok., and administered a Homeless Shelter in Lawton.
When doing my volunteer work, I regard myself as an unpaid employee, not
a volunteer.
I own a home in Mandurah which I have let at 20 % beneath market value
because of the financial circumstances of my tenants. I am buying
another home in Canberra which I have allowed family members to live in
rent free. I am a great believer in having a social conscience. This is
not because of some in-built desire to ingratiate myself. It's primarily
in recognition that I have received such wonderful gifts throughout my
life.
To whom much is given, much is
expected.
I have had experience in home sitting (not
house sitting...its your home not your house!).
I love animals. Sadly, because of some military caused disabilities I
have some minor limitations in performing physical labour. I would like
to have access to broadband Internet (my cost)... telephone is not a
problem if broadband is available as I have a VOIP calling card. A car
would be handy (although I actually prefer public transport).
Interested in me...why not email me below
and we can have a chat. Who knows we might just fit! As always, any
blessings.

Ages: 68 & 69.
- We are an independent retired
professional couple who would very much like to undertake a period of
housesitting in either Australia or New Zealand. During the past few
years we have spent 2 very enjoyable holidays in each of these countries
and wish to return for a longer visit to either country as residents for
a longer period rather than as tourists.
Both of us are non smokers and in very good health. We are very active
by playing golf and bowls and by walking, swimming and gardening.
As homeowners ourselves we appreciate the concerns any one will have in
ensuring that their house is well cared for and we would treat the
property with the same care and consideration as we do our own.
References can be provided regarding our suitability including for one
us a current police check.

After three years successful house
sitting in Sydney and WA (references available) we are now looking for
a housesit in WA, SA, Victoria or NSW, we will be available from approx
10th Dec 08 to the beginning of Feb 09.
We are a retired English couple, non smoking,
who just love cats; we come back to Australia each summer as we find
European winters impossible so we have vowed to live in sandals forever.
You could call us grey nomads with the aim to get to know our globe before
we are too creaky to move.
We fly into Sydney about the 1st Oct 08 as we have been asked back to
housesit for the couple we sat for in Perth over Xmas 07/08 so they can go
over to NSW Oct/Nov. We will be driving to Perth so we can meet you on the
way over if it is convenient.
During the European summer we spend our time in Rochefort, France, very
close to the Atlantic coast and from time to time we pop over to the UK to
see the family.
My hobby is sailing and learning more about Capt James Cook and Barbara
excels at needlework.
If you would like to see what we get up to on our trips including photos
check out our travel blog on

We look forward to hearing from you.

- Professional, Excellent House
Sitter, will leave your home, pets & gardens in perfect condition.
Hi, my name is Janis. My partner Adrian and I are non-smokers with
professional backgrounds. We are reliable, responsible people who respect
other peoples property & belongings. We are both animal lovers and proud
housekeepers and as we have been house sitting for nearly 4 years,
we have excellent references and home owners that will be delighted
to give a verbal reference should you require one urgently.
Our children are all independent living in Qld NSW & Vic. which enables us
to move around enjoying house sitting for short and long term situations.
In some cases we have house-sat for the same home owners on more than one
occasion. We look forward to looking after your home & pets while you are
away and assure you, that you will find everything in perfect order on
your return.
Thank you for considering us as your Sitters
and we can be contacted below

We are all from a background in caring fields (aged care and disability)

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

& 60
- We are a retired professional couple
(59 and 60) with a family of five children who have grown up and left
home. We have sold our houses (the one we lived in and the ones we had
tenanted) and we are now free to go wherever. This has been our lifestyle
for the past 5 years.
Previous house sits have been in the city, and the country, large
homes and small, with and without pets, gardens and pools, and our
extras have included caring for teenage children and running a luxury bed
and breakfast business (we used to run our own national consulting
company).
Sometimes our ingenuity has been tested to the limit, but so far it has
not been found lacking. We have enjoyed every single house sit and can
provide excellent references.
Do we smoke? No
Do we party? No, but we would appreciate being able to have occasional
houseguests.
Do we like animals? Yes. Do they like us? We have not yet met a pet that
doesn't treat us like it owns us.
Do we have hobbies? Yes. Sailing, camping, bushwalking, gardening,
cooking, bridge, in no particular order.
Do we have a downside? One of us is a computer nerd... but makes up for it
by being very handy at fixing things.
Will we care for your home, garden and pets as you would yourself? Do we
have integrity and are we trustworthy? Yes, but please check with our
referees.
Our aim is to ensure that your break is care-free we know how important
that is. So if you would like to chat with us and see if we are of
interest, please give us a call or drop us an email.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Occupation:

Ages

- 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 life-style as an independent woman.
Over the past 9 years I have house-sat many times in Melbourne,
Lismore NSW and Tasmania and looked after beautiful gardens during the
summer heat. I also had the privilege to care 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 between FORSTER and TWEED HEADS - along the coast and the
hinterland - would be the perfect opportunity of giving me the space and
time of finding/buying my acreage to build my straw
bale-house/home and grow my vegetables.
I am happy to provide references and also a police-check on
request. Please send me an e-mail and we can meet and discuss your
needs and concerns.
I am looking forward to meeting you. Cheers.
