About
Hi all, My name's Lewis, i'm 28 years old from Kangaroo Valley on the South Coast of N.S.W. I currently live in Sydney and work as a Public Health Researcher and are completing my PhD in the Charles Perkins Centre, a Public Health Research Centre at the University of Sydney.
Why i want to house-sit/ Experience with animals
I grew up on a farm with 160 cows, two dogs, 3 horses, ducks, chickens etc. To keep it short i miss having animals, and now living in Sydney, house sitting is a great way to have animals around, even if only for a short period. After a busy day of work i love coming home and relaxing with pets and going on long walks exploring the area. Also growing up in a small rural town i enjoy the quiet of living by myself in Sydney.
Housesitting experience
I have considerable experience house-sitting in Sydney and absolutely loved them. These include a two-week house sit for a family of four in Leichhardt, Sydney looking after two cats. My main roles were keeping them company, feeding time, and looking after the house. The second was a three week housesit for a family of four in Paddington, Sydney looking after a 10-year old pug named 'Tonka'. Tonka and I enjoyed morning and afternoon walks, as well as breakfast and dinner together. I was also responsible for giving Tonka various medicines and treatments day and night. I have now looked after Tonka on three different occasions. Both families would be happy to speak to you on the phone or over email about my role looking after their house and animals.
Why i'd make a good house-sitter
I love animals and have a lot of experience with them from a young age, work 9-4:00 so can do both morning and afternoon walks, have a stable job, live a quiet life outside of work, am a non-smoker, clean and tidy, have house sitting experience, can provide referees, can provide working with children check and Federal police check.
All the best,
Lewis!
