• Experienced Sitter enjoying the experience.
  An active and fit (retired) Social Worker, I have returned to Australia after two years in Argentina and have committed myself for several house sits this year. I have enjoyed the opportunity to visit various centres in Victoria and NSW.
  I am now looking for some new experiences from 18th November into all of 2010. I have family in Sydney, Hobart and Geelong which makes them attractive to me but am willing to consider anywhere in Australia.
  Used to living on my own, I am systematic about house keeping and simple gardening and always respect the home as I would my own.
  I have had some good experiences this year with cats and dogs and chooks and feel confident in this area. We always had dogs around our family home and my son has two Labradors in Geelong. I have left behind two beautiful Siamese cats in Buenos Aires.
  My Brother in Law is an Architect in the Sydney suburb of Pymble and I am sure he would be willing to vouch for me as would any previous house owners.

• RETIRED, RESPONSIBLE, ANIMAL LOVING, PROFESSIONAL COUPLE WHO LOVE A CHANGE OF SCENERY.
  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 -  (although Gill is not a big fan of mice).... 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've spent the year so far in the Grampians, Victorian Alps, Adelaide 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.

• 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.

  ALL of our previous homeowners are happy for you to contact them for a reference.
  Our excellent references are due to the fact that we care for your home and pets as though they were our own, and we aim to keep both well cared for while you are away. We own a property in northern NSW and so we understand the need for property security as well as pet care.
  We are both non-smokers, and enjoy spending our time walking, exploring your area and doing a spot of gardening.

• We are retired professionals who have just sold our 22 acres hobby farm in Kingaroy Qld. We are experienced in caring for animals of most varieties and willing to learn more. Because of our background a small holding to look after would be ok as would be a town property.
  We have a very old Dalmatian that travels with us. She is no problem as she also has her own bed. (But this may change due to her age!! so contact us anyhow).
  We are quiet (no parties), fussy and love gardening, bush walks and reading, understand bores and water saving.
  We are looking to do some housesitting all over before deciding where to live.

• 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.
  We should be very happy to discuss with you your needs and our mutual expectations as well as providing you with any other information you might require.  Thank you.

• RETIRED, RESPONSIBLE, ANIMAL LOVING, PROFESSIONAL COUPLE WHO LOVE A CHANGE OF SCENERY.
  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 -  (although Gill is not a big fan of mice).... 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've spent the year so far in the Grampians, Victorian Alps, Adelaide 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.
