About
We are a twenty-something couple from the U.K. who will take care of your home (and pets) with the love and attention it deserves. Having lived together for a number of years across numerous countries (with addition to house-sharing), we know the importance of what a home is what it means to both us and other people.
Since leaving blighty two years ago, we have been travelling (and working) our way across New Zealand and, now, Australia.
In that time we have spent extensive periods partaking in WOOFing and HelpX - working for food and accommodation; taking care of people's homes, gardens, cleaning, cooking, pet and child care. This has all been under the watchful eye of the homeowners, of whom we have happily co-habited with.
We have a huge love for animals - both domestic and working. In New Zealand we worked on two farms. The operations of such meant we worked closely with large cattle, small calves, sheep and their new-born lambs and the farm's working dogs as well as domestic pets such as dogs, cats, rabbits... and a fish. All animals were met with the compassion and attention they need. It was a real joy!
To add to the above, both of our childhoods were filled with fun, sparky and loving pets back in the U.K. We're certainly no stranger to taking care of animals!
At present we're just finishing up working in Perth where we're flat-sharing and working office-based, professional jobs. Sophia is experienced in events; Jonny is experienced in Marketing. Both of us are degree-educated. We're a highly responsible, mature yet fun and energetic couple who enjoy life. Whether it's hanging out at home, walking the dog on the beach or catching up with friends over dinner - we love it!
After hearing great things from friends about house-sitting, missing our own pets back in the U.K., we are now seeking the opportunity to house-sit in sunny Sydney. We're intending to remain in Sydney for the foreseeable and our situation of casually working ensures our flexibility and gives confidence that we can give your home and pets the time, love and attention they require. We are a considerate and extremely well-kept and tidy couple who are happy to get stuck in and take pride in caring for your home, garden and pets.
We have references from a previous house-sit in New Zealand as well our HelpX references too.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Sophia and Jonny
