About
Melbourne and area
Hi there,
I'm a dual Canadian/Australian (my mother is from Melbourne) in Australia escaping from our Canadian winter (brrr!).
From mid December until mid April (or any time in that period) I'd love to find a home in the Melbourne area to house sit.
I am very responsible and have looked after many pets and homes in Canada and Australia.
I don't smoke, enjoy living in a clean and tidy environment and will take care of your home and pets as if it were my own. I have a lot of experience with animals having grown up on a hobby farm in Canada and having dogs throughout my childhood. I enjoy the company of animals and enjoy looking after them, walking them, playing with them and grooming them. Anything you need or your animal needs I will make sure they have.
I have a lot of home maintenance skills (carpentry, painting, repair etc) so if anything were to come up, I can take care of most things myself, and in fact enjoy doing so. I also have family in Melbourne so have people I can call if need be.
My cousin lives in Geelong (he moved there after retiring from his law practice he had while living in Kew) and can act as a reference. He kindly allowed me to stay at his summer house in Anglesea. I house sat for a lovely family and looked after their wonderful dog for a month over last year's Christmas holiday. I also house sat in Leopold and looked after a wonderful Golden Retriever there and another beautiful older Golden Retriever in Williamstown. All those three house sits were organized through Happy House Sitters. They can also be references and please see two letters posted here on Happy Housesitters.
If you have a house with or without pets that needs caring for, I would love to hear from you! Thanks!
Kent
