Since then Nicky has been the school groundsman at the local primary school and I have been at the local ANZ bank.

Occupation: Self employed - Experienced sitters Ages 50ish Hi, We are home based self employed IT professionals with over five years house and pet sitting experience. We have been away from home this time since March 2009 because house sitting has kept us very busy indeed visiting family and revisiting repeat sits across the country. Our software and services business is nearing it's 30th birthday and our clients are benefiting from us house-sitting allowing us to devote more time on site with them during our travels. Home for us, when we are there, is Maleny in Queensland just north of the Glass House Mountains and about 30kms inland from Caloundra but we love to visit our grown family now that their work has moved them to the other side of the country and they can't visit us as much as we'd like. Besides time with family house sitting allows us the opportunity to visit and experience all manner of Aussie locations some off the beaten track and others in the thick of city living. We regard our duties house sitting to be extremely important lending much needed support for home owners, eliminating most of the stress of leaving their extended family behind while they travel, sometimes for very lengthy periods of time. As homeowners ourselves we have plenty of experience looking after and maintaining homes, pools and gardens of all shapes and sizes and we've also on occasion managed small & medium sized farms. We will treat your home and belongings with respect while ensuring that your pets get plenty of TLC. We are very much home bodies preferring to enjoy a more relaxed casual lifestyle. We have police clearances and excellent references from our previous house-sitting adventures and we are happy to send you their contact details. We are currently in Perth WA and are available between February 9 & 18, 2012 and then later from October 2012 to March 2013 either in Perth WA or Tasmania. Our number is 04 1155 1520 if you'd like to call us or if you prefer, send us a message or email and we'll call you. If possible we like to meet with you before accepting a house sit enabling you to make an informed decision as to whether we are the right sitters for you. We are happy to be within 30km of the CBD and preferably on the north side of the river in Perth so long as there is mobile coverage and Internet access. Thanks John & Melissa.
