About

My name is Georgia and I'm from Melbourne, Australia, where I work and volunteer as a youth worker and youth-mentor whilst practicing art therapy with my clients who have experienced trauma. I love my volunteer work, being outdoors, art and travelling, and have been Adam's travel-companion and partner for the past three years. Originally from the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, I am a keen traveller, and have been house-sitting throughout Australia, the UK and more recently across Europe since 2013 as it is the most convenient and enjoyable way for me to meet new people, immerse myself in different areas, and help other people as they enjoy their own travels.

Adam and I are both non-smoking, non-drinking house-sitters with over four years of experience. Both of us have valid police checks and excellent references. We're finally based in Melbourne after a year house-sitting overseas!

Adam is a recent graduate of a Science degree and until moving to Australia, lived in Reading, England. Prior to this he spent two years working in Australia whilst house-sitting and volunteering with me. He is a neat, non-smoker and a non-drinker who loves sport, animals, travelling, and house-sitting with me!

We have house-sat in various locations from semi-rural, urban to coastal, with various animals such as cats, birds, fish, dogs, rodents, as well as larger farm animals such as sheep, goats and ponies. As we both love exercise, home-owners can rest assured that any pets requiring walks will be valued company on expeditions and will be well looked after within the home.

A number of our previous house-sits required medication to be administered and specialist treatment to be given to animals under our care, such as lifting older or recovering dogs, administering eye drops, oral medication and injections. We also have experience with rescue animals, or animals requiring trauma-informed care and special treatment.

In addition to this, we naturally have extensive experience with general maintenance of gardens, pools and household upkeep, which is a given for any house-sit we undertake. I am an ex-florist, and enjoy gardening, so plants under my care are always well cared for!

Please feel free to ask us for our list of references: we've got plenty!

What an absolute delight to have Georgia and Adam looking after our precious cat, Meekah for 6 weeks over December and January. Nothing was a problem for them including, photo, video and text updates - even a video call to deal with a mama missing her bub. To return to a tidy house and loads of thoughtful touches like changed bed and towels; lovely treats for our breakfast arrival home and a container of delicious homemade lemon slice. Adam really bonded with our girl and I think she still misses her beautiful carers. We only hope they will be available next time we go away. Highly recommend this lovely, responsible and caring couple.

Georgia and Adam recently looked after my 2 cats for nearly 3 weeks whilst I was away. My cats were happy and healthy when I arrived home, my house was as I left it, they even washed all the bed linen and towels when they left and Georgia left me some delicious baking she had done to enjoy when I got home. Georgia kept me up to date with how they were going and was always responsive to messages. Lovely people and would highly recommend, I travel frequently and they will be the first I will call next time. Happy to chat further if needed and can be contacted on 0450080015. Carly

Georgia & Adam looked after our house and dog for 3 weeks in May 2019. It was our first time using house sitters so we were a bit anxious. In the end, we didn't have any reason to be. They took excellent care of our property - the house was tidier than when we left it, clean sheets on bed etc. Our westie Alfie was in great condition too. He had regular walks and was very relaxed when we got home. From the first communication to the last, it was an easy and enjoyable experience. Couldn't recommend Georgia and Adam highly enough.

Georgia and her partner Adam house sat earlier this month (June) for just under 3 weeks. They looked after our home, I would say the same if not better than I do. We had our hose up for sale during the whole time, the real estate both people through and Georgia looked after them. The real estate commented on how tidy the house was. My dog Dobie has separation anxiety of an evening but Georgia and Adam looked after him very well, he was well taken care of, so was our aging cockatiel and aquarium.. I would recommend Georgia and Adam to snout that was considering having the house site, Michelle Ayoung Redland Bay

My partner and I recently used the services of Georgia Hodgson to mind our three (3) pets and house while we took a break. Georgia kept us up to date with what was happening at home via email, which was fantastic as we knew the pets were doing well and we didn't need to be worried about them. All of our pets are rescues, and we are unable to place them in boarding catteries/kennels because one of them was terribly mistreated prior to coming to us. He now becomes extremely distressed if placed in another environment. On our return it was obvious that he was calm and relaxed with Georgia looking after him. Our dog was walked regularly and Georgia clearly looked after them well. The house was clean on our return and she had even made us a meal and done some baking to use our abundance of limes from the tree in the backyard. We returned late at night and Georgia stayed at our house until we got back from the airport, something we appreciated. I would highly recommend Georgia to look after both your pets and your house. She is responsible and caring and extremely neat and tidy. Should you wish to speak to me in relation to Georgia, I am more than happy to provide a verbal reference as well. My number is 0407 260 497. Regards, Vivienne Blennerhassett

Georgia looked after my two cats and my home in Reading, England whilst my partner and I holidayed in Spain in 2014. She left the place immaculately clean, the valuables and personal effects untouched, the cats very happy and well cared for and all of us eager for her to visit again. I would highly recommend Georgia for house-sitting and future employment as she was extremely trustworthy, capable and a little ray of sunshine to have around!

Georgia recently undertook a house sit for us and minded our two dogs, one of whom is blind and required regular medications and care. Georgia well and truly exceeded our expectations doing such a wonderful job. When we returned our house was spotless and most importantly our dogs were happy and contented after being extremely well cared for. Having Georgia care for our house and dogs left us relaxed and able to fully enjoy our holiday knowing that our special fur kids were in such great hands and given such exceptional care. I cannot recommend Georgia highly enough to any potential house sitters and would be happy to provide a further reference by telephone if required.

Georgia Hodgson housesat for us in February 2016. We were really impressed with the state of our home when we returned. Georgia had cleaned everything, removed all rubbish and ensured all was just the way we left it. It was really nice to come home and see the care she had taken with our place and our things. I would have no doubt in highly recommending Georgia as a very responsible, reliable and trustworthy house sitter.

I have had the opportunity to work with Georgia for over five years, when we both worked at a bakery. Georgia has always been very friendly and approachable towards customers and her colleagues, is always willing to help and has shown enthusiasm toward any tasks given. She has a very strong work ethic and ensures she completes everything to a high standard. Joanne Leeson

Georgia has been an employee of my floral business for the past three years. She is punctual, reliable, energetic and extremely clean. She has an excellent rapport with both colleagues and customers, several of whom have reported back to me about her bright personality, excellent service and colorful presentation. I have never had any complaints or disagreements with Georgia and would highly recommend her as a friendly, cheerful person and a trustworthy employee.

Hi there, Georgia minded our house and dog whilst we were on holiday in January. She was fantastic! Our house was left in perfect order and our dog was well looked after. I arrived home very happy and will definitely use Georgia again to mind our house - hopefully she is available next time!
