About

Hello, I love all animals and nature. I am healthy (non smoker), sporty, energetic and a professional mature lady. I enjoy keeping a neat and tidy house and I would love to take care of your beloved pets.

I've been sitting pets and homes for the last 20 years.

Trusted House-sitters, gave me and my friend (Michael) and I, an 18-month pet sit in Manly in 2016, taking care of two beautiful cats. This was a very successful long-term position. During this sit we also took care of our neighbours blind dog, Zephyr.

In August 2018, we completed a month pet sit in Rome, looking after dachshund's, Pepe & Nina and a cat, Rudolf. We had a wonderful time reconnecting to the city where we lived for 20 years.

We have taken good care of lots of animals over the years, including Holland, New York, France, Spain, UK & Australia. We are also cat owners ourselves, and in the past have gone out of our way to find suitable pet sitters to take good care of them whilst apartment swapping abroad.

WHY WE WANT TO HOUSE SIT:
We love travel and animals, so the combination of taking care of your pets, home and seeing various parts of this exciting world, is ideal for us. We don't have children, so have the freedom to travel when we want.

OUR EXPERIENCE:
We have been animal lovers all our lives. Annie lived on a sugar and dairy farm in NSW when she was a child, and grew up with animals, and feels natural with all species. I also grew up with animals, though your normal domestic pets! Where ever we travel, we always go out of our way to help less fortunate animals, taking care of dozens of cats in colonies in Rome, or feeding homeless dogs when vacationing in Greece. From taking care of pets, we have had some wonderful times, travelling to Australia, France, UK, Holland and America. A lot of these people who have let us take care of their animals have become very good friends.

If you wish to know more about my work history, please feel free to view my LinkedIn account. My full name is Annie Frances Gray.

I look forward to hearing from you. with kindest regards Annie

Annie was a fantastic house sitter, who included my little guy in her life and family and gave him the care and love he deserved. Annies communication was excellent, and understanding given the consistent time zone changes I was experiencing. I would recommend Annie and use her again on the next requirement I have.

Michael babysat our 2 cats Primrose and Felix for 2 weeks recently. He was everything you'd want in a babysitter - considerate, affectionate and absolutely dedicated! He would send us daily updates and photos (sometimes making us think our cats liked him more than us...). Couldn't speak more highly of Michael and recommend him to anyone wanting peace of mind for their furry kids.

Annie is an excellent house sitter. I warmed to her straight away as did my cats. Annie is very easy to communicate with. Answers any questions quickly. She left our house spic and span. My animals (cats and chooks) were very well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Annie as a house and pet sitter. I will definitely love to have Annie house sit for us in the future. Thanks, Kim

Annie was our house sitter for the better part of December 2018/January 2019... and she was an absolute god-send! Not only did she take amazing care of our little puppy, Judge, she also took immaculate care of all of our plants (we have A LOT). I am an interior designer and my husband is a clinical psychologist - we are a very private, house-proud couple, so were a little anxious about the 'house-sitting' scenario. Annie instantly allayed all our fears. She is a complete professional when it comes to taking care of your home. She handed ours back in pristine condition. It was as good, if not better, than how we left it. Annie is also easy to get along with and is a fantastic communicator, sending constant updates and picture texts of our puppy and the garden. Nothing is too hard for her and she is so accommodating of every request. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone and are more than happy to be contacted if you would like a verbal reference. Double thumbs up! Kelly & John 0404555822
