About
Professional teacher, age 58, clean, non-smoker, no children. I am here several times per year, as I work in Macau. At this stage, I will be returning to Victoria full time after teaching internationally..
I am the fur parent of a Domestic Short Hair Ginger cat named Ginny who was a timid rescue and now owns the house - often found sleeping on his back, legs akimbo !! Also we have Hilda the Golden Retriever.
I have regular sits and hope to be able to help you out if needed. I have been a house sitter for many years for people on this site and externally to this site. I love to look after pets and would care for your home and garden as if it was my own. I have a full police clearance which is required in order to be registered as a teacher in Australia, and no criminal record. I love cycling and simply reading a good book in a relaxing garden with the dog or cat. I have also been a home owner.
I have cared for modern and older homes with antiques and artefacts. The home owners have been so pleased with the way in which the home is cared for, and indeed the pets. I keep in contact via email during the stay if required, and send pics of the happy pets. I have had to care for pets on medication with tablets / eye drops etc, and this is not a problem. All previous house sits continue to call me prior to looking for a sitter. I have taken pets to their usual vet as required during some sits and owners have been very pleased.
I have multiple sits where I have previously sat and the owners want me back, which I feel quite proud of. In fact some neighbours have asked me to sit for them whilst I have been on a house sit !!.
I can supply details of previous house sits and my references are available on this site. To contact me prior to school holidays, use WhatsApp and the number +61 424 817 908 or email via this site, or I am able to Zoom video call as well.
Best regards and I look forward to helping you out.
