About
We are an active. non-smoking, retired professional couple. My husband Ted was previously ACT Treasurer and Deputy Chief Minister. He is now trying to lower his golf handicap. I ended my 30 year career in the Commonwealth Public Service working for Austrade and have enjoyed a couple of short term postings in Mauritius and Paris. We love to travel, and live in a beautiful apartment in Canberra. We have had two sits on the Sunshine Coast where we looked after a lovely dog called Roger. He got to go for walks every morning along the boardwalk at Alexander Headland. We have also enjoyed two house sits on the Mornington Peninsula, looking after a beautiful black Labrador and a small poodle. We have both been active Rotarians but not at the moment. We are particularly keen to get out of Canberra during the winter months and are mainly interested in coastal areas as we love the ocean. Open to other suggestions though. Reference available.
Shirley and Ted house sat for us 4/9 -7/9 . They are exceptional house sitter and dog minders. We would highly recommend them to all.

We were so lucky to have Shirley & Ted look after our 7 year old black lab Indie and our home for over three weeks. They gave her so much love and attention and we really appreciated their concern and consideration about her welfare by being her constant companions, taking her for long walks (in freezing, windy conditions) and letting her snuggled up under their toes by the fire. Our house was also well cared for. It was so clean and immaculate after their stay. I would thoroughly recommend them for any future house sitting arrangements. Anne-Marie Paterson
