• Hello, my name is Lucienne, I am a 56 years of age female, retired, non-smoker and non-drinker, happy, lover of animals, gardens and life! I have my own car and have learnt to find peace in whatever situations I am in, busy or quiet. I come from a farming childhood of a variety of many much loved cats and dogs along with being a bee keeper which I adored. Meditation has now taken priority in my life and sharing the benefits of this with others. Animals really attune to it too! I have been co-ordinating several meditation centres in Qld. NSW and Vic. for a world wide organization the past 12 years which required me to be totally responsible for the upkeep of the houses. This requires great honesty, commitment, cleanliness and respect. I am in the process of changing one of these houses whilst awaiting a friend's return from overseas.
  My friends also call me the green thumb!
  I am very fit and enjoy my walks every day.
  For personal references you may like to contact Colin and Annmarie on 07 35036728 or 0423 662 202, Janine and Lyn on 07 3117 0899 or Peter on 04281 34591. I am happy to get a police check if requested.
  Warm regards Lucienne

• Are you planning a holiday?
  Would you like your home cared for responsibly
  by an experienced Home Manager?

  I am a retired Office Manager/Executive in Senior Management and have now turned my attention to hospital patients and aged care residents as a volunteer, an activity in which I can engage, in any area in which I am residing.
  I have, over the past year, performed housesitting/caretaker roles in many areas of Brisbane e.g. Mt Gravatt, Springwood, Cleveland, Birkdale, Wynnum, Wellington Point, to name a few, as well in the northern Gold Coast area, e.g. Ormeau, Hope Island etc.
  One of my greatest strengths in the business arena has been in the area of organisation. I have been very skilled at organising and setting up home/office systems and this carries over into my personal life as well. I try to arrange my life in a very organised fashion which enables me to complete any commitments with order and expertise. Accordingly you can be sure that your home will be well-maintained and safety assured during your absence. I am very security conscious and will manage your home as I have my own, with a determination to ensure your complete satisfaction.
  Over the last two years of caring for homes, I have also been engaged to provide care to elderly parents of home owners, which I have enjoyed. I have excellent references available to show my very responsible care of the elderly and properties, providing nurturing care for your all.
  I am a non-smoker and have my own vehicle. I am a holder of a "Blue Card" having had all the usual police checks. I am an independent and responsible single person, a real home body, ideally suited to mind your home and gardens in your absence. I am very experienced at caring for older folk, homes and garden having filled previous similar roles.
  I enjoy pottering around the garden so light maintenance of gardens would be a joy, and I would be a presence in the home.
  I am happy to do short term sits and as I try not to book too far ahead, am usually available to fill a lot of late notice roles.
  I would be delighted to hear from you.

• RETIRED, RESPONSIBLE, ANIMAL LOVING, PROFESSIONAL COUPLE WHO LOVE A CHANGE OF SCENERY. EXPERIENCED SITTERS
  
  We are fortunate to be an early retired couple with successful careers and home-ownership behind us.
  Ric is a former Journalist and Foreign Correspondent who ran newsrooms in various places and for the last few years worked as a lecturer part-time at QUT University in Brisbane. Gill was a senior Fashion Buyer for a large UK company, but became more interested in working with organisations that do some good in the community.
  We jumped off the treadmill relatively early, met 12-years ago in South America while we were doing voluntary work, and have been managing to balance our lives ever since with some less stressful paid work, voluntary work and lots of travel.
  We are fit, healthy, tidy, non-smoking, and reasonably handy around house and garden.  We feel equally comfortable in big cities and the bush and like to divide our time between the two.
  We genuinely like animals of all sorts - having grown up with dogs, cats, sheep and the odd budgie but our desire to keep travelling through our fifties and onwards means we can't keep our own pets.
  As travel and change are a big part of our lives, we are pretty flexible about times and places.  We have a 4WD with a slide-on camper that takes us just about anywhere around Australia.  We spent last year in the Grampians, Victorian Alps, Adelaide, Woodend - Victoria, Sunshine Coast and Brisbane.
  Having sold our home, we are trying a number of new locations around Australia before deciding where we would like to buy again.
  We are honest and reliable and will look after your home, garden and loved pets with genuine care and respect.
  We would be happy to provide references and any other information you require.  As we're often travelling out of phone signal, please Email us and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

• Dear homeowner,
  We are an active, non-smoking, reliable couple who are highly regarded by owners of the numerous homes and pets we have cared for (references will be provided on request).
  With three years experience in house-sitting we have cared for gardens, pools, birds, chooks, cats and an assortment of much loved dogs. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Social Science degree at the university of the Sunshine Coast and John has been in Procurement and Distribution management.
  We have been on a journey, having left our substantive positions (myself with the Department of Community Services and John with the Health system in NSW - both requiring security checks) in order to pursue other avenues and opportunities, and began our adventure in Asia where we worked as volunteer teachers in a Cambodian orphanage.  I have used the past three years to study and we have enjoyed the housesitting experience so much that we have decided to continue for the time being.
  We have owned homes and pets (including poodles, Doberman, 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 animals and bond quickly with them, 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 excellent references from all previous house sits, as well as character references.  We are happy to supply a bond if required and we look forward to hearing from you if you are interested in having us care for your homes, pets etc.
  Kind regards, Vickie and John

• I'm booked up from now to the middle of March 2010.
  Old-fashioned reliability and a belief that "your word is your bond". I've lived by that all my life and apply it to the house sits I do. I've already done nearly a dozen house sit assignments ranging from Perth to New Zealand and generally involving at least one dog or cat.
  Unlike people looking for long terms I am mostly interested in shorter periods up to four or five weeks. Thanks to house-sitting we've learned about and fallen in love with the Sunshine Coast, Coffs Harbour, Hobart and the Port Stephens area and look for repeat assignments there, though I'm open to experiencing other attractive spots.
  Often you can get a "feel" for people over the phone so I'm happy to chat to people looking for a house sitter but wanting to be sure they've got the right person.
  I've been retired for six years now after a thirty year teaching career and love bowls, golf, reading, great coffees, walking.
  If I sound like the sort of person you'd be happy to entrust your house/plants/pets with then I'd love to hear from you.

• I have had extensive experience caring for others and doing full time volunteer work for The salvation Army and for Military Veterans. I own two homes of my own, one which I have rented so I know the value of a good carer / tenant.
  I own a dog which gets treated with intense TLC, much to my wife's chagrin at times. She is a very senior nurse with an intense job so we find time apart is beneficial for both of us. Naturally, she would visit and assist me during her breaks.
  I prefer warmer climes, but if you are lovely people (as I'm sure you are) I'd be delighted to help you out.

• Alan is British and I (Katherine) am Australian. After a three year international romance, we will be married in New York in two weeks' time. At the moment we are living in London but plan to leave here in early November 2009 to travel to India for two months (where we met) before returning to Australia in March 2010 to make my settlement application (so that I can live and work in the UK). The application process may take up to five months but averages three. We would like to housesit while we await the outcome of the application.
  I have travelled Australia widely but Alan has only visited Sydney so we would like to take this opportunity so that Alan can experience another part of Australia.
  We are both fit, active, practical and industrious people who keep a clean, well-maintained house and we both adore dogs. Alan feels the same about cats but unfortunately I am allergic to them!
  Neither of us have housesat before but we can easily provide personal references and I can also offer a real estate reference from a previous long-term tenancy in Bellevue Hill, Sydney.
  We can be reached by the home number until the beginning of November 2009. After that you can call Alan's blackberry: +447957628157 (UK number) or my mobile: 0412 894 134 (Aust number). Aside from these numbers either of the email addresses, listed below, will reach us. We look forward to looking after your home!

• Hi. I'm a fit 64 year old. retired  business owner. I had my own business making and selling all types of chocolates. After a few years I got sick and tied of the government and all their paperwork. So with a friend I spent 5 years working my way around good ole Auz. I worked on farms, outback stations, and in factory's. Had the best time ever. Now I am trying to be an author. Even though at the present moment I do not have any animals but, I have had cats, dogs, a horse, birds and believe it or not ants. I love being around them as they bring you peace and happiness. I do not smoke, or have wild parties. Love gardening, and have designed a few. Sitting out under the stars at night I think is the best thing in the world to do.
  The house sitting job I have at the moment was given to me because the cat liked me.
  Please feel free to ring me any time and I will be only too happy to answer any questions that you might have.
  Have a great day, Betty

• 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 have some great references from previous house sits.

• RETIRED, RESPONSIBLE, ANIMAL LOVING, PROFESSIONAL COUPLE WHO LOVE A CHANGE OF SCENERY. EXPERIENCED SITTERS
  
  We are fortunate to be an early retired couple with successful careers and home-ownership behind us.
  Ric is a former Journalist and Foreign Correspondent who ran newsrooms in various places and for the last few years worked as a lecturer part-time at QUT University in Brisbane. Gill was a senior Fashion Buyer for a large UK company, but became more interested in working with organisations that do some good in the community.
  We jumped off the treadmill relatively early, met 12-years ago in South America while we were doing voluntary work, and have been managing to balance our lives ever since with some less stressful paid work, voluntary work and lots of travel.
  We are fit, healthy, tidy, non-smoking, and reasonably handy around house and garden.  We feel equally comfortable in big cities and the bush and like to divide our time between the two.
  We genuinely like animals of all sorts - having grown up with dogs, cats, sheep and the odd budgie but our desire to keep travelling through our fifties and onwards means we can't keep our own pets.
  As travel and change are a big part of our lives, we are pretty flexible about times and places.  We have a 4WD with a slide-on camper that takes us just about anywhere around Australia.  We spent last year in the Grampians, Victorian Alps, Adelaide, Woodend - Victoria, Sunshine Coast and Brisbane.
  Having sold our home, we are trying a number of new locations around Australia before deciding where we would like to buy again.
  We are honest and reliable and will look after your home, garden and loved pets with genuine care and respect.
  We would be happy to provide references and any other information you require.  As we're often travelling out of phone signal, please Email us and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

We have 3 children - a daughter (nurse) at the Gold Coast, a daughter (lecturer)  in Melbourne, and a son (hydrosurveyor) based in Brisbane.
  Mavis was a Home Economics/ Hospitality teacher, now plays bridge, and dotes on the 3 grandchildren, making them wall-hangings, quilts etc.
  John was an Industrial Arts/Art teacher, ex AFL player, ex golfer, marathon runner, and now coaches bowls as well as helping Bowls Qld. accredit prospective coaches. John also helps as a volunteer at Blue Care.
  We are both non-smokers and are almost teetotallers.

• Dear homeowner,
  We are an active, non-smoking, reliable couple who are highly regarded by owners of the numerous homes and pets we have cared for (references will be provided on request).
  With three years experience in house-sitting we have cared for gardens, pools, birds, chooks, cats and an assortment of much loved dogs. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Social Science degree at the university of the Sunshine Coast and John has been in Procurement and Distribution management.
  We have been on a journey, having left our substantive positions (myself with the Department of Community Services and John with the Health system in NSW - both requiring security checks) in order to pursue other avenues and opportunities, and began our adventure in Asia where we worked as volunteer teachers in a Cambodian orphanage.  I have used the past three years to study and we have enjoyed the housesitting experience so much that we have decided to continue for the time being.
  We have owned homes and pets (including poodles, Doberman, 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 animals and bond quickly with them, 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 excellent references from all previous house sits, as well as character references.  We are happy to supply a bond if required and we look forward to hearing from you if you are interested in having us care for your homes, pets etc.
  Kind regards, Vickie and John

  I own a dog which gets treated with intense TLC, much to my wife's chagrin at times. She is a very senior nurse with an intense job so we find time apart is beneficial for both of us. Naturally, she would visit and assist me during her breaks.
  I prefer warmer climes, but if you are lovely people (as I'm sure you are) I'd be delighted to help you out.

• Hello my name is Frances and my partners name is Robert, we are a retired couple from Tully. We are experienced house sitters and have looked after cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, birds and also a pony. Pool maintenance we are experienced in. Bob has been in the building trade all his working life, is a qualified ceramic tiler, who still enjoys doing maintenance work around the house. If you should require anything done around you home there would be no charge. (It also keeps him out of my hair!) He has just completed connecting a pump to a tank and also doing the drainage work that it required. Myself I am a retired clerk from Telecom and I have had Collie dogs which I showed and did obedience with.
  We will supply references from our past sittings and these people have all asked us to return.
  Please phone or email us at anytime.

• 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 have some great references from previous house sits.

• Hello, my name is Lucienne, I am a 56 years of age female, retired, non-smoker and non-drinker, happy, lover of animals, gardens and life! I have my own car and have learnt to find peace in whatever situations I am in, busy or quiet. I come from a farming childhood of a variety of many much loved cats and dogs along with being a bee keeper which I adored. Meditation has now taken priority in my life and sharing the benefits of this with others. Animals really attune to it too! I have been co-ordinating several meditation centres in Qld. NSW and Vic. for a world wide organization the past 12 years which required me to be totally responsible for the upkeep of the houses. This requires great honesty, commitment, cleanliness and respect. I am in the process of changing one of these houses whilst awaiting a friend's return from overseas.
  My friends also call me the green thumb!
  I am very fit and enjoy my walks every day.
  For personal references you may like to contact Colin and Annmarie on 07 35036728 or 0423 662 202, Janine and Lyn on 07 3117 0899 or Peter on 04281 34591. I am happy to get a police check if requested.

• I am looking to leave the workforce and move to Queensland. I have Secret Security Clearance from the Australia Security Vetting Agency for 5 years. This also includes police check.
  I have a number of family members in Queensland and would like to be closer to my son who is attending University at the Gold Coast. I am looking to settle in Queensland as Canberra doesn't do it for me any longer and too cold. I have been renting a property in Canberra for the past 4 years and can supply reference if required. After selling my house I haven't purchased a property because I don't want to commit myself to Canberra long term.
  I would prefer to be outside in the garden than in the house so looking after a garden would be perfect. Animals are not a problem, as long as the dogs aren't too big.

• We are a retired business couple, non-smokers and moderate drinkers. We reside on the Coromandel Peninsula in New Zealand, having moved here for a quieter life following retirement from Howick, Auckland, where we had lived for 43 years. One of our daughters and family moved to the Gold Coast two years ago and have permanently settled. We love visiting them each year but long visits are difficult - which is why we feel house sitting would be the answer; enabling us to enjoy our own privacy plus enjoy visits to our family. At the same time, we would be providing a home-owner with peace of mind during their absence.
  We have cared for the homes of friends in Auckland from time to time during their absences and they will be happy to provide reliable references.
  We are animal lovers and enjoy gardening, reading, music and walking.

• RETIRED, RESPONSIBLE, ANIMAL LOVING, PROFESSIONAL COUPLE WHO LOVE A CHANGE OF SCENERY. EXPERIENCED SITTERS
  
  We are fortunate to be an early retired couple with successful careers and home-ownership behind us.
  Ric is a former Journalist and Foreign Correspondent who ran newsrooms in various places and for the last few years worked as a lecturer part-time at QUT University in Brisbane. Gill was a senior Fashion Buyer for a large UK company, but became more interested in working with organisations that do some good in the community.
  We jumped off the treadmill relatively early, met 12-years ago in South America while we were doing voluntary work, and have been managing to balance our lives ever since with some less stressful paid work, voluntary work and lots of travel.
  We are fit, healthy, tidy, non-smoking, and reasonably handy around house and garden.  We feel equally comfortable in big cities and the bush and like to divide our time between the two.
  We genuinely like animals of all sorts - having grown up with dogs, cats, sheep and the odd budgie but our desire to keep travelling through our fifties and onwards means we can't keep our own pets.
  As travel and change are a big part of our lives, we are pretty flexible about times and places.  We have a 4WD with a slide-on camper that takes us just about anywhere around Australia.  We spent last year in the Grampians, Victorian Alps, Adelaide, Woodend - Victoria, Sunshine Coast and Brisbane.
  Having sold our home, we are trying a number of new locations around Australia before deciding where we would like to buy again.
  We are honest and reliable and will look after your home, garden and loved pets with genuine care and respect.
  We would be happy to provide references and any other information you require.  As we're often travelling out of phone signal, please Email us and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

  We are avid pet lovers. Any pet will be loved and cared for.
  I have 3 house sits under my belt and references upon request.

We have 3 children - a daughter (nurse) at the Gold Coast, a daughter (lecturer)  in Melbourne, and a son (hydrosurveyor) based in Brisbane.
  Mavis was a Home Economics/ Hospitality teacher, now plays bridge, and dotes on the 3 grandchildren, making them wall-hangings, quilts etc.

  We are an active, non-smoking, reliable couple who are highly regarded by owners of the numerous homes and pets we have cared for (references will be provided on request).
  With three years experience in house-sitting we have cared for gardens, pools, birds, chooks, cats and an assortment of much loved dogs. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Social Science degree at the university of the Sunshine Coast and John has been in Procurement and Distribution management.
  We have been on a journey, having left our substantive positions (myself with the Department of Community Services and John with the Health system in NSW - both requiring security checks) in order to pursue other avenues and opportunities, and began our adventure in Asia where we worked as volunteer teachers in a Cambodian orphanage.  I have used the past three years to study and we have enjoyed the housesitting experience so much that we have decided to continue for the time being.
  We have owned homes and pets (including poodles, Doberman, 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 animals and bond quickly with them, 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 excellent references from all previous house sits, as well as character references.  We are happy to supply a bond if required and we look forward to hearing from you if you are interested in having us care for your homes, pets etc.
  Kind regards, Vickie and John

• We have been house sitting in NZ although I had done a lot of it in the Hunter Valley before we married.
  We own a motor-home and have loved the travelling but have a few problems with it at present so would like to keep up the life style of moving and caring for pets, but I might add that they do get very spoilt.
  We love walking and getting to know different areas.
  We are honest reliable and caring about pets, homes and gardens.
  We also love to meet people from all walks of life.

• I have had extensive experience caring for others and doing full time volunteer work for The salvation Army and for Military Veterans. I own two homes of my own, one which I have rented so I know the value of a good carer / tenant.
  I own a dog which gets treated with intense TLC, much to my wife's chagrin at times. She is a very senior nurse with an intense job so we find time apart is beneficial for both of us. Naturally, she would visit and assist me during her breaks.
  I prefer warmer climes, but if you are lovely people (as I'm sure you are) I'd be delighted to help you out.

• Alan is British and I (Katherine) am Australian. After a three year international romance, we will be married in New York in two weeks' time. At the moment we are living in London but plan to leave here in early November 2009 to travel to India for two months (where we met) before returning to Australia in March 2010 to make my settlement application (so that I can live and work in the UK). The application process may take up to five months but averages three. We would like to housesit while we await the outcome of the application.
  I have travelled Australia widely but Alan has only visited Sydney so we would like to take this opportunity so that Alan can experience another part of Australia.
  We are both fit, active, practical and industrious people who keep a clean, well-maintained house and we both adore dogs. Alan feels the same about cats but unfortunately I am allergic to them!
  Neither of us have housesat before but we can easily provide personal references and I can also offer a real estate reference from a previous long-term tenancy in Bellevue Hill, Sydney.
  We can be reached by the home number until the beginning of November 2009. After that you can call Alan's blackberry: +447957628157 (UK number) or my mobile: 0412 894 134 (Aust number). Aside from these numbers either of the email addresses, listed below, will reach us. We look forward to looking after your home!

• Hi. I'm a fit 64 year old. retired  business owner. I had my own business making and selling all types of chocolates. After a few years I got sick and tied of the government and all their paperwork. So with a friend I spent 5 years working my way around good ole Auz. I worked on farms, outback stations, and in factory's. Had the best time ever. Now I am trying to be an author. Even though at the present moment I do not have any animals but, I have had cats, dogs, a horse, birds and believe it or not ants. I love being around them as they bring you peace and happiness. I do not smoke, or have wild parties. Love gardening, and have designed a few. Sitting out under the stars at night I think is the best thing in the world to do.
  The house sitting job I have at the moment was given to me because the cat liked me.
  Please feel free to ring me any time and I will be only too happy to answer any questions that you might have.
  Have a great day, Betty

• 10YRS EXPERIENCED HOUSE-SIT / PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COUPLE AVAILABLE. MANY REPEATS SEE PHOTOS- "THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE CARE AND AFFECTION YOU BESTOW ON OUR PROPERTIES AND PETS." - This quote of 2008, reflects comments by all the property-owners we've assisted.
  - We've completed assignments in France, Australia, Ireland, England, Switzerland, America, Scotland and Canada. - Our separate online portfolio of assignments plus veterinarian references reflect our ability to occupy/care for prized properties, projects, hospitality retreats with the utmost respect and concern for absentee owners.
  - We're nearing completion of a repeat assignment, caring for an 18th century Irish property, a twin manor property set on several acres. - 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. Additional photos can be seen at our separate online portfolio - all of these properties and projects required security and accountability for owners on distant shores. Each owner has asked us back for additional property management stints.
  - We relocate to new properties with practiced ease. We both have unblemished driving licenses, if it comes to driving homeowner's vehicles. Currently, a Jaguar and a Hyundai to exercise at this Irish assignment. And yes, we're home-owners too.
  - We're familiar with much of Europe, Australia, and North America, having lived on all three continents for several years. We don't have children or pets if this is of concern to you.
  - We're both NON-SMOKERS and enjoy regular outdoor activities including running, mountain-biking, bush-walking and tennis. Basically staying healthy is our aim while completing assignments, engaging in work projects and stand-in positions. Yes, we've learnt to wear many hats while holding fort, so to speak. Our sailing skills got a good brush off while based by Port Philip Bay in Melbourne Australia in 2008. Our snow-boarding & horse riding skills, have received less practice of late.
  - We relish cooking from the veggie patch, local market produce too and learning regional nuances - one of the rewards of experiencing new environments. We're computer literate, skilled at admin duties and retain a cheerful telephone manner.
  - We're city-security conscious and rural environment friendly. We're energy conscious and maintain a tidy house - it's easy to detect if anything's amiss then.
  - If our property management record matches your needs, please contact us with your particular requirements and for the web-link to our comprehensive online portfolio.

• We are Rodney(64yrs) & Rose(50yrs) and we hail from Adelaide. Rose was born in the Philippines, has lived here for 27years and has been an Australian citizen for 19years. I am a retired geophysicist, and in 2004 Rose closed a successful house cleaning service to join me in retirement.
  We have four children, two boys and two girls, aged from 21 thro' 31yrs and all now living independently...
  We have over the past few years sat 'upmarket' homes for friends and acquaintances, and we come with excellent references incl police clearance. We are animal lovers and have always had dogs and cats of our own, not to mention rabbits and guinea pigs in the early days...
  We enjoy yoga, isometrics and tai chi regularly every morning for some years now. we walk each day, and also ride push bikes, play table tennis and fish, but primarily we surf.
  Since 2004 we have been spending 6 to 8 months of each year, the southern winter, on a tropical beach on the western pacific rim, north of the equator, in a home rented by us. A small eco-frontier island, Calicoan island belongs to the Philippines. Great surf out front is the reason we are there.
  In the northern winter, November thro' April, the north east monsoons blow on our weather coast, 'spoiling' the surf and the ambience. That is when we come home to see our family and friends.
  In early 2007 we sold our Moana beach house in S.A. to give us more options in our retirement.
  We sponsor local village kids thro' primary and secondary school, and teach them to surf with equipment that would otherwise not be available to them. In the tropics we are both writing, short stories and an autobiography. In between surf's we kayak, read, make shell jewellery and enjoy siesta's.
  (p.s. willing to consider requests from S.A., W.A., VIC, TAS, NSW, & Qld with priority given to coastal areas, and to S.A. & near environs)

• Due to our inability to sell interstate assets my husband and I have decided to sell our family home @ Sunshine Beach Queensland. We feel that it could be an interesting time to take care of special homes and  family pets. We are both very active, walking, gym, swimming and lots of gardening. We have a large tropical garden - sand based with an abundance of palms and we are used to maintaining a pool.
  Although retired, we are a professional couple and still have our own consulting company and thus would be able to submit references from a wide range of people. We could send photos of our house, so that you could see our standard of care. We could move anywhere and there is no short or long term period specified. Our house contents will be in storage and we will be free to move around.
  Please do not hesitate to phone or email us  for a chat.
  Rhana and Ian Morton

• Hello, my name is Lucienne, I am a 56 years of age female, retired, non-smoker and non-drinker, happy, lover of animals, gardens and life! I have my own car and have learnt to find peace in whatever situations I am in, busy or quiet. I come from a farming childhood of a variety of many much loved cats and dogs along with being a bee keeper which I adored. Meditation has now taken priority in my life and sharing the benefits of this with others. Animals really attune to it too! I have been co-ordinating several meditation centres in Qld. NSW and Vic. for a world wide organization the past 12 years which required me to be totally responsible for the upkeep of the houses. This requires great honesty, commitment, cleanliness and respect. I am in the process of changing one of these houses whilst awaiting a friend's return from overseas.
  My friends also call me the green thumb!
  I am very fit and enjoy my walks every day.
  For personal references you may like to contact Colin and Annmarie on 07 35036728 or 0423 662 202, Janine and Lyn on 07 3117 0899 or Peter on 04281 34591. I am happy to get a police check if requested.
  Warm regards Lucienne
