About

We are a mature couple (58 and 62) and are both retired. We'd be very happy to come and look after your home while you are away and would treat your home and pets as we do ours, with all care. My husband Graeme and I are both active with plenty of bush walking and sailing and have experience with dogs, cats, birds, fish, guinea pigs and even smaller critters. I'm comfortable with farm animals and can ride a horse. I enjoy the garden and would be very happy pottering around, watering, mowing, sweeping - whatever.
Ive recently completed a Certificate in Animal Care through TAFE and Graeme is currently studying for his PhD spending a lot of time working on that. We have a home on the northern beaches of Sydney. Our neighbours are knocking down and rebuilding their home so we will be renting our home to them for the duration, leaving our dogs with them and hope, expect, to be travelling / house sitting for a year. We have done some house sitting already with return visits (or requests to return) and can supply references should you want them. We would be very happy to care for your home and animals and hope that you contact us if you think we're suitable. Thanks
Louise
Ps I'm also a JP

Monika Broughton 291 Theresa Creek Rd Theresa Creek NSW 2469 Ph: 02 66647340 E-mail: monika.v@bluewin.ch 13/05/2016 To whom it may concern, Having a small farm doesn’t make it easy to go on holidays as it involves trying to find trustworthy, reliable people to take care of everything while I’m away. Through housesitters.com.au I’ve had the great pleasure to meet Louise and Graeme Smith and couldn’t have found a better couple to look after my precious animals and our home when I went away for a week in May 2016. My 5 horses, 2 dogs and 1 cat have been in the best hands possible and were cared for with lots of love by Graeme and Louise. They all looked very happy, healthy and relaxed when I returned and the house looked spotless as well. Before I went away, I took Louise for a horse ride on one of my brumbies to show her the area and felt very comfortable to let her go riding on her own while I was away. She seemed very confident and capable and I was happy to know that my horses will be in very good hands. Louise rode, brushed, fed my horses and even cleaned their feet while I was away. My dogs got walked daily and my cat got lots of cuddles as well. The house sit also involved handling a firefighter petrol pump to pump water from the well, which Graeme and Louise also handled with no problems. They kept in regular contact with me and kept me updated, which I highly appreciated. There was a small leak under the kitchen sink which Graeme took attention to, informed me immediately and even tried to repair it himself. I felt very much at ease to leave and let them take care of everything. They are both lovely, gentle and trustworthy people and I can’t thank them enough for looking so well after my little farm. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Yours sincerely, Monika Broughton
