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!
