More information about this house sitter

Hi,

We have recently moved back to Australia following 8 years in the UK. Alex and I both love to travel, so prior to that, we were in New York and Thailand. We have stayed in many Airbnb's over the years, and will provide the numerous positive reviews we have received.

During our time in Australia we provided house/pet sitting services to many people, including the following:

We have completed the following housesits in the past four years:

- a 6-month house/pet sit in Middle Park, Melbourne, looking after cat Zoshie
- a 2-month apartment sit in South Melbourne, looking after an indoor garden; this sit was repeated throughout our time in Melbourne, reoccurring roughly every six months
- a 1-month house/pet sit in Rosebud, Victoria, looking after Border Collie Ruby
- a 10-day house/pet sit in Urunga, Coffs Harbour (same clients as the apartment sit), looking after Poodle Louie, as well as 10 geese and 10 chickens

The dogs we have looked after have been incredibly active, requiring a lot of attention and physical activity, and we make sure to adapt our schedule to the animal's needs - it is their home after all! We are very conscious of ensuring the pets get the attention they need.

Having done a few sits now, we are familiar with the process of bonding, which is different for every pet we meet. Their emotional intelligence means you have to work on forming a bond; they're curious about the new person and it's so important to us that the pet feels as comfortable as possible during this time.

We have absolutely loved getting to know all these new little characters, and feel close to each and every one of them - but that doesn't make the goodbyes very easy!


I am currently working remotely as a Solutions Manager for an advertising agency and studying Psychology part-time, while Alex works as a Grain Trader. He is also a qualified Property Manager. As we like to remain flexible, Alex and I both work remotely. This can however result in a lot of desk time, so we make sure we walk every day and spend as much time as we can outside.

We both love animals and have come from animal-loving families - between our parents we have four dogs and three cats. We very much miss having our own so love any opportunity to spend time with the furry kind.

We also love seeing new places and relish the opportunities that house sitting provides. We understand the trust that is required, and we will do our utmost to ensure your house and animals are very well looked after, and keep you regularly updated.

We enjoy hiking, camping, and all things nature. We spend a lot of our time cooking and love trying new food. We also like to stay fit and active, but enjoy kicking back with a good book or podcast.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks,

Anna and Alex Read more...
