Occupation: Retired Senior RAAF Officer
Ages: 59.
  • 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.

  • We are an active, non-smoking, reliable couple and are highly regarded by the owners of all homes and pets we have cared for (references will be provided on request).  With reasonably extensive experience in house-sitting we have cared for gardens, pools, birds and an assortment of much loved dogs.  I am a Customer Service Officer with a 14 year employment record with the NSW Department of Community Services (Security and Police checks a condition of my employment) and my husband has been in procurement and distribution management for organisations such as Boral Timbers and the Northern Rivers Area Health service.  We also have a small home based business which provides a moderate income.
    We have been on leave from our substantive positions in order to pursue other avenues and opportunities and began our adventure with six weeks in Asia where we worked as volunteers in a Cambodian orphanage for a month.  I am also studying a university degree (Bachelor of Social Science) and am using this time away from work to complete my degree.  We have owned homes and pets (including poodles, cats, aviary of cockatiels, chooks etc) and maintained our own vegie and native gardens, and understand the value of caring for a home.
    We love children and animals, we are clean living, house proud people and we treat the homes and possessions of others with a great deal of care and respect.  We have also rented following the sale of our home and are very highly regarded by the two real estate agents through whom we rented.  We have excellent references from previous house sits, as well as  excellent character references, and we are happy to supply a bond when required.
    We look forward to hearing from you if you require our services or any further information. Kind regards, Vickie and John

  • Experienced house sitters available in the Darwin area from 6th to 28th February 2009 and from 1st April to 15th May 2009. 

    We are an active non-smoking retired couple in our mid sixties. During the past five years we have completed seven house-sits of between one and three months and several shorter ones, to the complete satisfaction of the property owners. We have cared for horses, dogs, cats, chooks, parrots, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish and swimming pools – all of which have remained happy and healthy under our care. We are prepared to undertake a reasonable amount of gardening, watering, lawn mowing, pool maintenance etc. and will be particularly alert to the security of your property and the welfare of your pets (if any).

    Our referees (including Darwin locals) from previous housesits will confirm that we are completely reliable, trustworthy and conscientious.

    Our preference would be for a property not too far from the water and within about 10 kms. of the Darwin CBD.

    We are in Darwin until the end of August and again from early December to meet and discuss your requirements and our suitability. At other times we shall be travelling overseas but will always be contactable by email.

    Please contact us at any time by phone or email and we shall be happy to provide further information.

    Kind regards Peter and Carole.

  • We are moving to Darwin for good and want a place to stay when we first get there either short term or long term.  Ideally we want to save a deposit to buy our own place, but expect to have to rent for a while. Tony has lived in Darwin for many years in the past and has had two job offers already for our arrival, he's also very handy maintenance wise. Kerry is now Mum so will only take bookkeeping work if the baby can come with her, otherwise home duties will be the main concern. We have a beautiful 9mth old so need to keep the house spic and span.
    We've housesitted and petsitted for family members in the past, otherwise always rented, but always got our full bond back and left the place in better condition than when we arrived on several occasions, even having received a written reference from a real estate in Broome which is unheard of.  We've created herb gardens in every house we live in, and love all animals.
    We can be flexible with the time we arrive if necessary.

We have extensive experience in house sitting, and looked after a busy backpackers near here in the Marlborough Sounds over the last 2 winters. We are very tidy and conscientious about the places we look after.

    We are both used to a lot of responsibility every day. Of course we will look after your animals, house and garden with lots of care and respect. Marcus had a dog for almost 15 years and we love to walk dogs or have other animals around. 
    We are both reliable clean and tidy non smokers/ only seldom socially drinkers, who have experience with tending gardens as well.
    It is important to us, that you will have a good feeling about your home during your absence and anticipate returning to your well kept pets, house and garden.
    We want to take the chance of meeting friendly people, learning about a different culture and new exciting continent. So we decided to travel the coast of Australia and New Zealand. Housesitting is a wonderful possibility to get to know the real Australian way of life.
    We love nature, walking, swimming reading, architecture, theatre and visiting museums.
    We are happy to provide references and also a police-check on request. Please send an e-mail and we can discuss your needs and concerns. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
