About

Melbourne Inner suburbs, outer west

Hi,

We are a non-smoking, tidy, clean and conscientious couple who loves animals - having grown up with a rabbit, a cat and a dog I am used to living and caring for animals.

I work full-time in local government, Ella works with children as a clinical psychologist.

We are looking for house/pet-sitting opportunities in June and July 2017 to save money for an apartment.

We enjoy living in a clean house and leave anywhere I have stayed in great condition, vacummed, cleaned surfaces/floors, and all rooms are cleaned - bedding is always washed and beds are always made prior to the owners returning.

Simon and Ella

Simon house sat for us for 1 month while we were overseas and looked after our 17 year old cat. He took very good care of her, collected our mail and interacted with our neighbors as necessary. He left the house very clean and tidy and we would be happy to use him again.

Simon looked after our home and cheeky kitten Alphie for 3 weeks in August 2012. We were in Europe visting family and also getting married so we wanted someone who we felt 100% comfortable and confident with. When we first met Simon we knew straight away that he was the house sitter for us. He was polite, outgoing and obviously knowledgable about the worries that home owners may have when organising a house sitter. He talked through his past house sitting references, his experiences looking after pets and was clearly organised, reliable and understanding. When we arrived home from our trip the house was clean and tidy - perhaps a little tidier than when we left! The post had been collected and the garden maintained. Alphie the kitten was clearly well looked after, happy and content. All in all a fantastic house sitter. We had never used a house sitter before but would highly recommend using Simon. Thank you Simon for looking after our home and Alphie so well. We will definitely be asking for you to house sit again. Mr and Mrs Armitage

Simon Dormer looked after our place for us while we were overseas. He kept the place neat and tidy, helped coordinate entry of tradesmen to the property in our absence, looked after our plants and brought in the post. We would happily recommend him to others.

Simon was responsible for looking after my property (no pets) for five weeks from April to May 2012. When I returned, I found the home to be as when I left it, that is clean and tidy with everything working. I have no hesitation in using and thus recommending Simon for future house-sitting assignments.

Hi, It is my pleasure to provide a reference for mr simon dormer. He was kind enough to house sit our home in port melbourne in feb 12 for about 2 weeks. He did all that he was asked and more. It Was lovely to come home to a tidy house, trusting it was looked after well. I would be happy to have simon home sit next time we are away. All the best :) Deb Taylor

Simon Dormer house sat for me whilst I was overseas for 2 months during December 2011-January 2012. His duties included watering a large garden, keeping house and minding my adored cat, whilst working full time. I can highly recommend Simon as a competent and respectful house sitter. I came home to a clean home thriving garden and a happy cat. Jan Lees Beaumaris

Simon has house sat (including looking after our princess of a cat) for us on a number of occasions. These times have ranged from a month to a week & hopefully more to come in the future. We are more than happy with the job that Simon does, especially when the house is cleaner than we leave it for him. Please feel free to contact me via email geoff_bee@yahoo.com.au if you have any questions. Geoff Bee.

Simon house sat for us for three weeks while we were away on holidays in Europe. We have two cats, several fish tanks and an abundance of pot plants on our balcony (roughly 30 plants). Simon did an amazing job in looking after our house while we were away with no issues with the pets or plant care. In addition, the place was in very clean condition when we arrived home. We would recommend Simon to anybody that is looking for a potential house sitter for any period to time and will be using him again in a few weeks when we go holiday again.
