  • Experienced sitters.
    We are a happily married couple of 38 years and enjoy travelling Australia in our caravan. We have been house-sitting for the past 7 years and love the lifestyle this provides, allowing us to stay in and experience different areas.
    We have always had pets including dogs, cats, fish, chooks and budgies when we lived in our own home. As a result of living in a caravan, we are very conscious of the need to conserve both water and electricity usage.
    We are committed Christians, are extremely honest, reliable and trustworthy and are both non-smokers and non-drinkers. We have had previous experience involving short and longer stays and understand how important it is to have totally honest, reliable people living in and taking care of your home. We have current police clearances and are very happy to provide excellent references when requested.

    We do not smoke. We are capable gardeners, experienced pool owners, meticulously tidy and fond of animals. Our own pets have included dogs, cats, birds and fish.
    Our aim is to make your holiday as carefree as possible. So if we can be of assistance to you, please call or email us. We would be happy to chat and to answer any questions, provide references etc.

  • Hi, We are definitely not your average house and farm sitters, and if you follow the link to www.usgreggs.com, you'll see why we say that.
    Briefly though, we've owned houses and farm properties of our own and we will value your privacy, assets and peace of mind just like you do.
    We are both confident and calm under pressure and can handle any unexpected crisis that might come up with your home or pets.
    More importantly, we can be trusted to fulfil your expectations while you are away, so you can enjoy your break and come home to things the way you left them. After all, we also know what it's like to own property and animals and need a holiday, but worry every day about how things are at home.
    We are also both very fit (in the life extension supplement business) and very happily married with no issues or baggage. We're non-smokers, enjoy just an occasional glass of red with dinner and we are financially independent.
    Most of all, we know you have choices, so before you even consider us, please get to know us better at our personal web site (www.usgreggs.com). You just might be surprised!
    Thanks for looking!

  • We have been married for 42yrs and always owned our own home, now we are retired we want to spread our wings a bit. We have a motor home in NZ and travel round a fair bit but in our winter it's not good so we thought we would love to see more of Queensland and avoid our horrible winter ( we usually do a month in Rarotonga but time for a change).
    As we are both school bus drivers (part time work for spare cash) we are thoroughly police checked (govt regulations).
    We have always had dogs and cats till this last year when our last dog died, which now frees us up to travel more. We are honest and trustworthy. John was brought up on a farm and done farming for many years, I'm a gardener.
    We hope to be able to look after your special properties as our own, should you choose to select us. Thankyou.

  • We are a professional semi-retired couple from Ireland. I am an Australian citizen and have spent years in Australia.
    We are home owners here in rural Ireland and have 3 grown up professional children all now left home. We are now taking time to ourselves and intend travelling around Australia for the next few years.
    We are very open on dates but would need as much notice as possible.
    Long term sitting is of particular interest.

    We have a beautiful 8 year old Pomeranian dog and a 10 year old cat both of which are part of the family. W
    e also have a lovely aquarium with a dozen fish. We spend lots of time in our 1/2 acre plot where we grow veggies and all our own flowers and plants. We are extremely house proud and our home inside and out is kept really neat and tidy and we would apply the same standard to any property we look after. I am a DIY specialist and have no problems dealing with any issues that may arise in the house inside or out. We have rented many properties over the years while travelling with our children and have always kept them to the required standard. For some reason animals seem to take to us very easily and we are friends in a short time. We are both non smokers and only take the occasional drink.
    If you would like to know more about us and how we can assist with taking care of your home, pets and garden while you are away please give us a call or email us at any time.

Shirley is the manager of an Anglican care rest home which has a very high standard of care and an excellent reputation and has held this demanding position for 21 years.
    Neither of us has house-sat before but given the opportunity our commitment would be 100%. Noleen and Shirley have been close friends for over 40 years. yours sincerely, Shirley

    Currently booked 25/05/2013 to 12/08/2013.
    Greg is Australian and Dee is a Pommy Australian. We are now grey nomads, and love the rural life...not comfortable in big cities. We are good with animals but have none of our own these days because of our lifestyle. Greg can do almost anything from mending cars, to woodwork, to making sure your property is fire safe. We've worked as caretakers on a remote heritage station (farm), and last year we house sat a villa in Umbria, Italy, ....three dogs, a pool and an olive plantation. As we both hold Gun Licences from South Australia a Police Check would be an overkill as the checking done for a Gun Licence is more intensive than a general police check!
    We travel a lot, and plan to be in New South Wales and Queensland this year. We are fit and healthy, like walking and cycling, read a lot and Greg is learning the banjo, while Dee plays the uke.
    We do prefer to be in more rural areas, and the outback. We tow a caravan so we would be able to use that, or we would need a place to keep it.

  • I am experienced house sitter who is extremely conscious of the need not to let down home owners. My greatest disappointment is having to refuse owners who have had arrangements in place only to have a sitter cancel at the last minute. If I commit to you then you can plan your absence in absolute peace.
    I have an impeccable character being a Justice of the Peace, a retired RAAF officer and a member of The Salvation Army. I own three homes in Atlanta Georgia which I have rented out so am totally empathetic to the need of home owners.
    I have a gorgeous Fox Terrier who owns our home with my wife and I. My wife has a job here in Canberra so does not accompany me on Full Time assignments; however, she will join me during my assignment.
    I would prefer the availability of a vehicle although in major cities I prefer the use of public transport.
    I am in great demand...obviously I must be doing something correct. Therefore, its advisable to get in quickly. Overseas assignments are considered.

  • Hi there, we are a recently retired couple from regional Victoria, Australia, where we own a small hobby farm of 65 acres which we run cattle and horses on. We built our dream home on this property, so we can appreciate the risks of handing over our home to strangers to look after for us while we are away. Of course we would want someone who is honest and reliable and responsible to care for our property so we consider ourselves to have the same values and qualities to housesit somebody else's home.
    I consider myself to be a little bit house proud and like things neat and tidy and am respectful of other peoples property. If you are looking for someone to mind your property I assure you that you can be away and not be worrying if you have made the right decision to have myself and my husband in care of your home. Also because of our age there would be no threat of vandalism or mistreatment of property as we can appreciate the same thing happening to our home.
    Thank you for reading my blog. cheers Liz Mackwell

  • Our own house sitters (five times) convinced us to do some sitting too, and when we tried it last year (Mt Tamborine + Gold Coast), we loved it. We like escaping Warwick's frosts.
    We are very fit (jog each day), and are garden loving people who built their own beautiful home, and, through firm family upbringings, have learnt to appreciate what we and other people own.
    We have three children - a daughter (nurse-Gold Coast), a daughter (lecturer - Melbourne), and a son (Hydro-survey consultant, NZ at the moment, then USA).
    We were both teachers at The Scots PGC College in Warwick, (Mavis 19 & John 33yrs). Mavis was a Home Economics/Hospitality teacher, now plays Bridge, and dotes on the three G'kids, making them wall hangings, clothes, etc.
    John was a Man Arts/ Art/Graphics teacher, ex-AFL player, ex-golfer, and now coaches bowls as well as accrediting coaches, and he is a volunteer at Blue Care.
    We are both non-smokers, and are almost teetotallers.
    The
    two people we sat for last year would be very willing to provide a reference if required.

    Hi - we are a professional couple who love to travel, and we are interested in exploring as much of Cairns as possible, Fergus recently taking up the role of Principal Solicitor - Environmental Defenders Office (Northern Queensland) in Cairns on 25 February 2013.
    Fergus is an environmental lawyer, environmental scientist, and national disaster manager (so he knows precisely what to do when your house is struck by lightning while you're on holiday!). Tri is magic with animals and plants of all descriptions. We have no children, nor pets. We are non-smokers, and animal lovers (Fergus is also a Zoologist!). We enjoy quiet evenings, and you do not need to worry about parties etc etc.
    We would prefer a situation where there is broadband internet available, as we use internet TV. We are both very capable 'fixit-type' people - who can deal with any issues that arise in an efficient and sensible manner. We are more than happy to provide Police checks and/or references if required.
    If you are looking for highly responsible, considerate, and intelligent house-sitters who will care for your home in the same careful manner they would their own - please contact us - we'd love to hear about where you live and whether there might be a good 'fit' for house-sitting! You can certainly be sure that your sitter will not bale on you at the last moment (that seems to happen a lot, based on the calls we receive!), as having a job in Cairns, we can be relied upon to 'be there' .....
    If you like, we can first chat on the phone or video-chat with you via Skype, so that we can learn lots about your home/pets, and you can get to know us too. Our Skype address is: fergus.power1. Please send an invite to connect and we can video-chat some time.
    Looking forward to meeting you, and providing exceptional house-sitting for you!

  • We are a professional semi-retired couple from Ireland. I am an Australian citizen and have spent years in Australia.
    We are home owners here in rural Ireland and have 3 grown up professional children all now left home. We are now taking time to ourselves and intend travelling around Australia for the next few years.
    We are very open on dates but would need as much notice as possible.
    Long term sitting is of particular interest.

    We have a beautiful 8 year old Pomeranian dog and a 10 year old cat both of which are part of the family. W
    e also have a lovely aquarium with a dozen fish. We spend lots of time in our 1/2 acre plot where we grow veggies and all our own flowers and plants. We are extremely house proud and our home inside and out is kept really neat and tidy and we would apply the same standard to any property we look after. I am a DIY specialist and have no problems dealing with any issues that may arise in the house inside or out. We have rented many properties over the years while travelling with our children and have always kept them to the required standard. For some reason animals seem to take to us very easily and we are friends in a short time. We are both non smokers and only take the occasional drink.
    If you would like to know more about us and how we can assist with taking care of your home, pets and garden while you are away please give us a call or email us at any time.

We have a motor home in NZ and travel round a fair bit but in our winter it's not good so we thought we would love to see more of Queensland and avoid our horrible winter ( we usually do a month in Rarotonga but time for a change).
    As we are both school bus drivers (part time work for spare cash) we are thoroughly police checked (govt regulations).
    We have always had dogs and cats till this last year when our last dog died, which now frees us up to travel more. We are honest and trustworthy. John was brought up on a farm and done farming for many years, I'm a gardener.
    We hope to be able to look after your special properties as our own, should you choose to select us. Thankyou.

We are good with animals but have none of our own these days because of our lifestyle. Greg can do almost anything from mending cars, to woodwork, to making sure your property is fire safe. We've worked as caretakers on a remote heritage station (farm), and last year we house sat a villa in Umbria, Italy, ....three dogs, a pool and an olive plantation. As we both hold Gun Licences from South Australia a Police Check would be an overkill as the checking done for a Gun Licence is more intensive than a general police check!
    We travel a lot, and plan to be in New South Wales and Queensland this year. We are fit and healthy, like walking and cycling, read a lot and Greg is learning the banjo, while Dee plays the uke.
    We do prefer to be in more rural areas, and the outback. We tow a caravan so we would be able to use that, or we would need a place to keep it.

  • I am experienced house sitter who is extremely conscious of the need not to let down home owners. My greatest disappointment is having to refuse owners who have had arrangements in place only to have a sitter cancel at the last minute. If I commit to you then you can plan your absence in absolute peace.
    I have an impeccable character being a Justice of the Peace, a retired RAAF officer and a member of The Salvation Army. I own three homes in Atlanta Georgia which I have rented out so am totally empathetic to the need of home owners.
    I have a gorgeous Fox Terrier who owns our home with my wife and I. My wife has a job here in Canberra so does not accompany me on Full Time assignments; however, she will join me during my assignment.
    I would prefer the availability of a vehicle although in major cities I prefer the use of public transport.
    I am in great demand...obviously I must be doing something correct. Therefore, its advisable to get in quickly. Overseas assignments are considered.

  • Heather is a retired Assistant Head teacher who has always owned and looked after animals. My upbringing was on a dairy farm where we had a great variety of animals and would breed Arab and Anglo-Arab horses as a fun side-line. I have always had a dog, horses and cats until recently when travelling made it unfair take on any new ones. Mike has a degree in Zoology and although he now works in Human Medicine he was, for most of his life, working in the veterinary area.
    I love working with animals and have recently joined the Cinnamon Trust which offers free dog walking for the old and infirm owners who can no longer take their pets out.
    Mike is a great gardener and loves looking after plants.
    We are seasoned (x10) home exchangers to Australia and America and love being in warm places for our winter!
    We are both fully capable of looking after a home with tender loving care although my home maintenance skills are more highly developed than my husband's!
    We love travelling and visiting new places and would enjoy doing this while taking care of your home and pets in your absence.
    We have exchanges booked to Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane during March, April and May next year. (2013)

  • Hello, Thank you for taking the time to view my bio. If I suit your home and pet care requirements I would be delighted to hear from you.
    OVERVIEW: Your pets are as much your family as children; your home is what you have worked to provide for all your adult life. They are both precious and basically priceless to you and your garden and lawns, perhaps your pride and joy giving you sanctuary, beauty and tranquillity. I too appreciate these aspects and comforts of life and I would love to do those things which ensure these elements in your life continue to flourish with love, whilst you are away. You can be assured that you can relax in the security of knowing that your animals are being loved and cared for absolutely; your home is safe, respected and cared for; your garden enjoyed, maintained and appreciated. You can embrace your away-time with peace of mind.

    ABOUT ME: I am 59 years old and a health care professional. My work is now mostly internet based so I can work at home wherever home may be at any given time. Except for shopping for necessities and the like, I am a bit of a home body so will be available pretty much all the time to be with your pet/s to give them all the care, love and attention they want and need. They are my priority. Their normal routine will be maintained walks, feeding, cuddling, playing and sleep time to create as stress free environment for them as possible in your absence. Many people have stated that when they die they are coming back as my dog! They want to experience the heartfelt love, care, nurturing, play time and pampering yet with boundaries and loving discipline - they observed that I had showered upon my own dogs! I guess that is as good a reference as any really.
    I enjoy a deep love and respect for cats and I like nothing better than to switch off for a while with a cat curled on my lap. I find it very relaxing and soothing and cats just have that special quality of the it factor that endears me to them.
    I was reared on the land and married in the city. I am now a fully retired wife and semi-retired mum. I spent more time in my late 40s back on the land as a general farm hand in NSW and for the past eight years have been in the city again. I have a healthy dose of experience with horses, cattle, sheep, goats and chooks, farm wise. I guess I am pretty much a jack of all trades really.
    I am trustworthy, reliable and responsible with a terrific sense of humour and gain enormous joy in life from the simplest things. I am a clean, neat and tidy person by nature and I enjoy living in that kind of environment so you can be sure your home and contents will be well looked after. I am a private person and I respect the privacy of others I'm too excited and enthused living my own life to be bothered prying into the lives of others!
    My policy is to take care of people s homes as if my own and I guarantee to leave your place the way I found it or better.
    I will gladly take care of:
    Looking after your home
    Feeding, walking/exercising and caring for your dog/s and other animals
    Maintaining house security and a human presence in your home
    Forwarding mail and messages, and other communications as requested
    Garden maintenance as required.
    Once I've committed to an agreement, I do not change my mind at the last minute or disappear. I will be there for you. I am happy for you to phone any time to check up on things and/or word up your neighbours to come and do a spot check any time. Shucks, if you want to Skype in from time to time so your darling/s can see and talk to mummy and daddy over Skype any time bring it on. Now, does that tell you what sort of an understanding softie I am?

    WHY AM I HOUSE SITTING: I have chosen to be a house sitter because it provides me with a roof over my head and a sense of purpose as in caring for your animals and your home. I love my life as a house sitter and I love taking care of the homes and pets of others. It gives me enormous satisfaction and pleasure. I can spend a little time with my daughter who lives in Brisbane in winter and my son who lives in Melbourne in summer without imposing on their lives or their hospitality between the two seasons.

    TIME PERIODS: I am open to short and long term arrangements along the eastern aspect of Australia. I rather like the idea of north for winter, middle for winter and spring and summer down south so I'm looking at Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Brisbane and out to say Woodford, Kilcoy, Maleny areas to the west during the autumn/winter/early spring then head south for the summer.
    Please note that I am quite willing to engage in any written agreements outlining secure guidelines between both parties and supply police check and references both verbal and written if required.
    Rest assured I will take care of your home and pets with all the love and attention possible.

    We have now completed 40 house sits since 2002 and can supply numerous references from very satisfied homeowners.

We have a motor home in NZ and travel round a fair bit but in our winter it's not good so we thought we would love to see more of Queensland and avoid our horrible winter ( we usually do a month in Rarotonga but time for a change).
    As we are both school bus drivers (part time work for spare cash) we are thoroughly police checked (govt regulations).
    We have always had dogs and cats till this last year when our last dog died, which now frees us up to travel more. We are honest and trustworthy. John was brought up on a farm and done farming for many years, I'm a gardener.
    We hope to be able to look after your special properties as our own, should you choose to select us. Thankyou.

  • Experienced sitters / Caretakers - non smokers
    Currently booked 25/05/2013 to 12/08/2013.
    Greg is Australian and Dee is a Pommy Australian. We are now grey nomads, and love the rural life...not comfortable in big cities. We are good with animals but have none of our own these days because of our lifestyle. Greg can do almost anything from mending cars, to woodwork, to making sure your property is fire safe. We've worked as caretakers on a remote heritage station (farm), and last year we house sat a villa in Umbria, Italy, ....three dogs, a pool and an olive plantation. As we both hold Gun Licences from South Australia a Police Check would be an overkill as the checking done for a Gun Licence is more intensive than a general police check!
    We travel a lot, and plan to be in New South Wales and Queensland this year. We are fit and healthy, like walking and cycling, read a lot and Greg is learning the banjo, while Dee plays the uke.
    We do prefer to be in more rural areas, and the outback. We tow a caravan so we would be able to use that, or we would need a place to keep it.

    Experienced sitter - Booked until 8 January 2013.
    Hello there. My name is Judith and I’m a young at heart mature aged Dutch woman who is fit, strong, healthy and happy. I am a non smoker and vegetarian.
    By profession, I am an experienced artist / art teacher and have volunteered at many theatres and schools within this profession.
    I love pets, nature, people and gardens. I don’t believe looking after your pets is simply about feeding them or giving them a quick pat. I genuinely enjoy the company of your animals and will spend and commit quality time with them to ensure their health and happiness.
    As an avid walker, I enjoy having your beloved pet as my company – it’s a wonderful bonus to my walking routine!
    I am a neat and tidy person by nature and absolutely treat your property as if it were my own - leaving the house in order each day. I also enjoy light gardening and can mow your lawns and trim them if you explain how your trimmer works.
    I have been house caring now for 20 months and completed 7 Home and Pet sits of which 3 have been repeated and left with happy hosts & happy pets. I feel this speaks volumes of my high standards, reliability and integrity, with numerous verbal referees to confirm. I very much enjoy the freedom and diversity I receive looking after your homes and your darling pets, along with the stimulation that comes from being within a new community and all that this has to offer.
    I do prefer longer house sits - but am more than happy for you to contact me if you have short term needs as I may be in between house sits. I do require good mobile reception and also broadband as I am undertaking some online studies. I also thrive in clean and airy spaces. I will always continue to maintain the home environment in this way for you in your absence.
    If you think we are a good fit for each other then please don’t hesitate to contact me on 0457393929. I welcome all enquiries and look forward to hearing from you if you would like more information.
    Of course, I have my own vehicle and can provide excellent references of past house sits. I also have police clearance.
    Thank you so much for your consideration and I do look forward to helping you soon.
    Kind regards, Judith

  • Hello, Thank you for taking the time to view my bio. If I suit your home and pet care requirements I would be delighted to hear from you.
    OVERVIEW: Your pets are as much your family as children; your home is what you have worked to provide for all your adult life. They are both precious and basically priceless to you and your garden and lawns, perhaps your pride and joy giving you sanctuary, beauty and tranquillity. I too appreciate these aspects and comforts of life and I would love to do those things which ensure these elements in your life continue to flourish with love, whilst you are away. You can be assured that you can relax in the security of knowing that your animals are being loved and cared for absolutely; your home is safe, respected and cared for; your garden enjoyed, maintained and appreciated. You can embrace your away-time with peace of mind.

    ABOUT ME: I am 59 years old and a health care professional. My work is now mostly internet based so I can work at home wherever home may be at any given time. Except for shopping for necessities and the like, I am a bit of a home body so will be available pretty much all the time to be with your pet/s to give them all the care, love and attention they want and need. They are my priority. Their normal routine will be maintained walks, feeding, cuddling, playing and sleep time to create as stress free environment for them as possible in your absence. Many people have stated that when they die they are coming back as my dog! They want to experience the heartfelt love, care, nurturing, play time and pampering yet with boundaries and loving discipline - they observed that I had showered upon my own dogs! I guess that is as good a reference as any really.
    I enjoy a deep love and respect for cats and I like nothing better than to switch off for a while with a cat curled on my lap. I find it very relaxing and soothing and cats just have that special quality of the it factor that endears me to them.
    I was reared on the land and married in the city. I am now a fully retired wife and semi-retired mum. I spent more time in my late 40s back on the land as a general farm hand in NSW and for the past eight years have been in the city again. I have a healthy dose of experience with horses, cattle, sheep, goats and chooks, farm wise. I guess I am pretty much a jack of all trades really.
    I am trustworthy, reliable and responsible with a terrific sense of humour and gain enormous joy in life from the simplest things. I am a clean, neat and tidy person by nature and I enjoy living in that kind of environment so you can be sure your home and contents will be well looked after. I am a private person and I respect the privacy of others I'm too excited and enthused living my own life to be bothered prying into the lives of others!
    My policy is to take care of people s homes as if my own and I guarantee to leave your place the way I found it or better.
    I will gladly take care of:
    Looking after your home
    Feeding, walking/exercising and caring for your dog/s and other animals
    Maintaining house security and a human presence in your home
    Forwarding mail and messages, and other communications as requested
    Garden maintenance as required.
    Once I've committed to an agreement, I do not change my mind at the last minute or disappear. I will be there for you. I am happy for you to phone any time to check up on things and/or word up your neighbours to come and do a spot check any time. Shucks, if you want to Skype in from time to time so your darling/s can see and talk to mummy and daddy over Skype any time bring it on. Now, does that tell you what sort of an understanding softie I am?

    WHY AM I HOUSE SITTING: I have chosen to be a house sitter because it provides me with a roof over my head and a sense of purpose as in caring for your animals and your home. I love my life as a house sitter and I love taking care of the homes and pets of others. It gives me enormous satisfaction and pleasure. I can spend a little time with my daughter who lives in Brisbane in winter and my son who lives in Melbourne in summer without imposing on their lives or their hospitality between the two seasons.

    TIME PERIODS: I am open to short and long term arrangements along the eastern aspect of Australia. I rather like the idea of north for winter, middle for winter and spring and summer down south so I'm looking at Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Brisbane and out to say Woodford, Kilcoy, Maleny areas to the west during the autumn/winter/early spring then head south for the summer.
    Please note that I am quite willing to engage in any written agreements outlining secure guidelines between both parties and supply police check and references both verbal and written if required.
    Rest assured I will take care of your home and pets with all the love and attention possible.

We have a motor home in NZ and travel round a fair bit but in our winter it's not good so we thought we would love to see more of Queensland and avoid our horrible winter ( we usually do a month in Rarotonga but time for a change).
    As we are both school bus drivers (part time work for spare cash) we are thoroughly police checked (govt regulations).
    We have always had dogs and cats till this last year when our last dog died, which now frees us up to travel more. We are honest and trustworthy. John was brought up on a farm and done farming for many years, I'm a gardener.
    We hope to be able to look after your special properties as our own, should you choose to select us. Thankyou.

  • Experienced Australian sitter.
    I'm currently in London, UK and am looking forward to returning to Australia.
    After 5 years in Canada and a year in Australia and Thailand I have developed a taste for living as an ex-pat. I love to travel and I dislike cold weather so house-sitting abroad is perfect for me.
    I run an internet-based business and have the freedom to work anywhere I can plug in my laptop.
    I have a good sense of humour, am easy-going, flexible, responsible, trustworthy, reliable, and clean and tidy around the house.
    I don't smoke or drink and my idea of a good time is curling up with a good book and a cuppa so I would be around a lot to keep your pets company.
    I love animals and have owned cats and fostered Chihuahuas so I would take good care of your beloved pets and give you regular updates if required.
    I have had pet/house minding assignments in England, Canada, Australia and Thailand.
    I have references and a recent police clearance letter.

    G'day, My name is Suzanne but I prefer to be called, Sue. I am wanting to save for my first home, and am available for any area in Queensland.
    I am mature (don't go out partying) I'm a non smoker, I am neat and tidy, and will respect your house and contents, and look after your pets as if they were my own.
    My work involves being in other peoples houses, cleaning, and providing other personal services. As such, I have a current police check, and two references.
    I am trustworthy, honest, and reliable. I understand, that people need to have their house kept the way they left it... ie, things put back how they are found, and keeping things clean, and tidy.
    I am an active person, and love to be outdoors, so walking dogs will be an enjoyable activity for me, and help me to keep fit. I also enjoy the company of puddy cats, and will be happy to do garden maintenance, and mowing lawns.
    I am hoping to get a long term sit. (six months, or longer) However, I will take shorter ones as well. I am available to start immediately.
    Looking forward to being an excellent house sitter for someone soon.
    Kind Regards, Sue.
