About
Hello, I am Debbie and am excited to be able to offer my love of taking care of a home, and giving time and love to pets, to the wider community. You can be assured that your home, and pets (if you have them) will be my priority and pride during your time away.
Having owned homes myself in both NZ and Australia and travelling widely, I know it can be worrying to need to leave your home and pets behind, and how much difference it makes to time away when you know there is someone you can trust to take care of things. (I am a New Zealander who has been living in Sydney for 7 years)
One of my main motivations for thinking of house sitting as an option over the next 12 months or so is because I do genuinely like to give back to the community and I think providing home owners with peace of mind and an excellent service while they are away is a nice way to give back.
I have just sold my home in Erskineville Sydney to embark on a new phase of life, and I thought housesitting would be a perfect way to continue to give love and care to a home and pets while in this next 12 month phase of life. I am available from mid October after my own travels overseas.
I work but my hours are flexible and I also sometimes work at home, so I can be sure to have time to look after your home and pets.
My job is in the not for profit sector. I am passionate about my work in this sector towards making a difference for people who are vulnerable and facing challenges in life. I have worked internationally and locally in this area for 20 years.
My skills that will matter most to you; I am a very house proud person, love keeping a home looking great. I have had either cats and dogs (at different times) myself most of my life, and always make time in the day for them. I feel I can get in touch with each animal quite quickly and so will know when something is not quite right with your pet. So, you can be rest assured I would know I need to get attention for them right away if something did come up. I have a very high level of integrity and responsibility, and pride myself on going above and beyond and giving of my best.
I am happy to sit over holiday periods, if it is Christmas and New Year, I may have a family member or friend visit me from out of town for a few days with your permission. Otherwise I will respect your privacy by not having social meetings with friends in your home.
I am happy to meet or skype to talk over what your priorities for a home sitter are and how I might meet these needs. It would be great to get to know you better and you me.
Regards Deb.
