About

I am a mid 60s professional, (teacher) who owns my own home that I take great care of, in Castlemaine Victoria. With my daughter I share the dotting care of 2 doggies that enjoy a daily fixture of walking and being played with vigorously each day. My career life has been in education and I have held substantial roles of responsibility as a primary school principal, educational consultant in New York City, district curriculum project officer and community educator. Now I am enjoying transitioning to retirement by working part-time in district primary schools coaching teachers in the teaching of literacy.
I have done pet sitting through Happy Housesitters, Aussie Housesitters and Trusted Housesitters and have references on those sites which you could read by searching my name.
As loved family members we have had them all - dogs, cat, chooks, guinea pigs, rabbit, doves, guinea fowl, horse and lamb. I am experience handling farm stock such as sheep, goats, alpacas and horses. Of course as a teacher I have a Police Check and Working with Children Check and if there was such a thing as a working with animals check I would pass with flying colors! I would welcome the opportunity to offer you further references, career resume, clarifications etc.

Heather was more than just a house sitter and a wonderful companion for our black labrador, Indie, she is a genuine caring and kind individual. Heather took the time to come and meet Indie and go through the details on how to care and look after our dog and our home before we went away. She communicated throughout our trip and let us know how things were going. We came home to beautiful daffodils and a beautifully clean home and a happy Lab! I would thoroughly recommend her as a house sitter and would love her to come back and visit us anytime. Anne-Marie Paterson

Heather Brown minded my house for a period of two weeks over the summer holiday period. I left in her care two dogs, two hens, two guinea pigs and an unruly vegie garden. I could not have asked for someone to provide better care to my animals, garden or home. The dogs were walked daily, the pens of the animals spotless and the house was impeccable upon my return. Heather kept in touch via email while I was away, letting me know how everything was going. I could not recommend Heather more highly as a house sitter. She is professional, trustworthy and well and truly exceeds all expectations of a house sitter. If you would like to discuss Heather's application with me further, please contact me on 0422 705 768 at your earliest convenience. Kind regards, Brooke Connor

I have worked in schools with Heather Brown for many years. Throughout that period Heather was always highly professional, organised and committed. She held positions of responsibility including three principalships. As well Heather has a passion for exploring new places in Australia and overseas. We have travelled together and rented houses in Italy and along the Victorian coast. Each time Heather has always received excellent feedback from property owners and encouragement to return. Heather has three 'granddogs'. I see her several times a week walking those doggies in the bushland near my home. As a classroom teacher Heather always had class pets and continues to demonstrate her fondness for all creatures great and small. I would recommend her with great confidence for any house minding or pet minding assignment.
