About
I first house sat in 2016 in Sydney, while studying yoga. I then did a couple of longer sits in Canberra while starting a new job. Thanks to the pandemic I can now work remotely, which is handy!
I've enjoyed getting to know people's pets and spending time in different neighbourhoods. It's worked out well.
I'm respectful, tidy and good with animals. Pets tend to warm to me easily.
I grew up with a Jack Russell and have cared for lots of animals. I've even had the honor of watching over two horses and ten chooks for a couple of weeks.
I like to get a good idea of your expectations and follow the routine to keep everyone happy.
Please ask anything you would like; We could do a video-call or meet in person to discuss what you expect. Let me know how things are going, and thank you for considering me.
I have the following endorsements from a similar site, and can provide a further reference from Canberra:
'Alex is a very reliable and dependable house sitter. He minded our family home for 8 months. I can report that he left the house in a much cleaner state than when he moved in. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Alex as a clean, tidy and absolutely trustworthy house sitter. Who I would not hesitate to have house sit for us again.' (Deborah - Campbell ACT, Mar 2019)
"Alex was our very first Aussie House Sitter. From the very first meeting we felt comfortable that our fur baby would receive the love and care that we would give her. Not once while we were away did I ever feel like I should be worried. Upon our return, our apartment was left in the same condition as we left it. He also fixed our sink, which I thought was amazing. We HIGHLY recommend Alex and will use him again on our next travel", BENJAMIN (North Sydney NSW, Jan 2018);
"We were very pleased with the condition of the house, garden and cat. We would certainly use him again", HELEN (Pennant Hills NSW, Jul 2017 - 3 months);
"Alex was a fantastic housesitter - clean, respectful, helpful and I couldn't recommend him more! Even my cat warmed to him and she's pretty selective. Thanks again" ROBYN (Surry Hills NSW, Mar 2017);
"Alex was the best house sitter we've had so far. He was polite, considerate, very clean, tidy, intelligent, and very reliable. Recommend", GRANT (Forest Lodge NSW, Dec 2016).
