About

Hello,
I am a professional writer, animal lover and experienced housesitter.

I have been housesitting for a couple of years since returning from 2 years working for an NGO in Guatemala.

I have cared for many animals - old and young cats and dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, chooks, tropical fish, sheep and llamas -shared the bed with some, given medication to others and fallen in love with many. I have also kept many plants and small gardens alive and well.

Housesitting has been a great and enjoyable way for me to relearn Melbourne and restore some savings after earning local wages in Central America.

In my spare time I like to: walk (ideally somewhere green or near water), practice Spanish, cook, tango, meditate, and read fiction or about architecture.

I am happy to answer any questions you may have about me or housesitting generally and hope to help with your housesitting needs soon.

Have a lovely day.
Susanne

Susanne has minded our house, two dogs and chickens for us several times and on each occasion she has done an outstanding job. The house is always left in immaculate condition and all the animals are well-fed and happy upon our return. I always feel confident when I leave my home in her care and I recommend Susanne highly.

Having recently adopted an old beautiful hound, I wanted a live in companion for him while I was away. My other concern was my privacy; I hadn’t had a house sitter before and it was a new experience for me. Susanne came recommended. When we met, I knew I had found a golden star person. Susanne knows how to listen! She’s compassionate, respectful, intelligent and together, I mean, what more could you ask for? Having her enjoy the house and care for my old dog, made it way easier to unplug while on a break. I couldn’t have cared less if the house was a mess on return - but as it happens, she left it better than she found it.

Suzanne stayed at our house in 2016 for nearly two weeks while we were away. Suzanne made having a house sitter easy! She cared for the tropical fish, gold fish, the chooks and kept an eye on the sheep. Most importantly, she care for our dog who is not good at being ignored or left alone for long. When we came back, the only sign of her staying with us was a happy dog - and some baked goods! I would completely recommend Suzanne for housesitting. She is kind and thoughtful and it is great to leave the house in the hands of someone who is conscientious and thoughtful. She is such a good house-sitter that we have asked us to look after the menagerie and house while we away this year.

Suzanne Kennedy has house-sat for me twice; once for a fortnight over Easter 2017 and subsequently for another week. I am keen to call on her again, and possibly for a longer period in the future. She was recommended by a mutual friend who used her services for a longer period and was very happy with her. I am also, and would have no difficulty in recommending her highly, and without reservation, to any one else. And importantly for me, she is old dog friendly!

Susanne is an experienced house sitter and can be completely trusted with your home and your pets. She is also an AirBnB host and so she has a great understanding of what it means to be a host and a guest. Susanne looked after my home and my cat and dog for me for two weeks, and house house sat for a number of friends of mine.

I am happy to recommend Susanne Kennedy for the role of house sitter. She has looked after my home on a number of occasions when I have been away and has always cared for it in a responsible way. She ensures that it is clean and tidy when I return and obviously values my possessions as if they were her own. Kate Shipway

Susanne house-set for me here en Guatemala for a couple of weeks end august/beginning september 2015. It was an absolute emergency and she jumped right into it to help me out. Thanks to her I could go on my vacation. Her duties where taking care of 2 cats and 3 rabbits, two rabbits that lived outside in there pen and one living in the house. Also finding rabbit food in the market and grooming the cat. My animals were very well taken care off. She also was in charge to work with the gardener who came 3 times a week and to instruct the cleaning lady once a week and also pay them. After two weeks I returned home into a clean house, seeing that everything has been taken care off to my full satisfaction. The cats were happy and being attached to her. I can recommend Susanne, she will be a great house sitter for you. If she is ever again in Guatemala I would love to have her as a house sitter again. Sincerely Marliese Hilser
