About
We take great care in our own home and even greater care in someone else’s! We are a very well travelled retired couple in our fifties that LOVE animals. We originally hail from the uk but emigrated to Australia in 2001 where we located to Noosa, Qld and brought up our (then) two teenage children. We have owned many animals including a pony, birds, (Particularly a blue and gold macaw), tortoises, small rodents and many cats and dogs, so have a lot of experience with animals.
Our daughter returned to Australia after working in London, taking with her a fiancé who has been relocated from his London office to Sydney. She lives in Pitt Street CBD and has a gorgeous tiny Pomeranian called Pumpkin who we sometimes look after. Our son lives in Thailand, where him and his wife feed street dogs and have rescued two that now live with them as they were in such bad health (along with three hamsters). We have homes on the beautiful island of Corfu, Greece and in London - one being a gorgeous airbnb mini villa next to our house (please see the link below to see our amazing reviews) https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/637377517857857441
(We have three cats - Poppy (Petras mummy), Petra and the newest addition 8 month old little Kiwi). We feel we need to be in Australia more now so we can enjoy family visits but still wish to move about, so house sitting is the perfect solution for our (ever) itchy feet and still allows us to have 'pets'. We have looked after many friends and family’s homes, often caring for their pets and keeping it maintained.
We have owned several businesses over the years, including manufacturing in China, a real estate agency, a grocery store and an auction room.
My husband has also been a house builder and can turn his hand to most trades. We have built and refurbished many homes over the years. He likes gardening too and has been known to be quite green fingered! I am a clean queen and enjoy domestication. I love to read and enjoy exercise, including yoga and old school aerobics! My husband loves keeping up with world news and current affairs. We are both non smokers. We are a friendly, trustworthy and reliable couple that put our heart and soul into anything and everything we do, as you can see from our outstanding reviews on airbnb!
We have lived both in cities and in the countryside but at the moment are very keen to house sit during the months November - April in Sydney, close to the CBD..... maybe you would like to visit Corfu sometime and stay at Seaview Mini Villa?
We can supply photos and various types of references if you are interested in having us look after your pets and home......you certainly won’t regret it!
