Bella & Gemma ~ friendly reliable couple

More information about this house sitter

We are a vibrant, friendly couple who enjoy art, nature, good food, martial arts and a daily walk/run together. We keep a tidy and calm presence in the home, a steady routine and love a pet cuddle! We often pet sit for our friends and family, and our own home is filled with houseplants, so we're well equipped to care for yours :)

We grew up with sensitive pets and are attuned to pet needs and anxieties. Please don't hesitate to let us know what will make you and your pet feel more comfortable while you're away. We are happy to provide character references and we live in Melbourne, so are happy to meet with you in person or videochat to ensure a good fit.

After living in the same neighbourhood for the past 5yrs, we are looking for a new (local) adventure, housesitting with a desire to save for our future and excited about the prospect of spending time with some furry friends and experiencing new neighbourhoods.

Bella, 26: I am a Creative Director, Contemporary Dancer, Martial Arts Teacher and the insect whisperer of the relationship. When I'm not in the studio, I work from home which means I can be present to spend time with and love on your pets through the day.
The past year I've returned to full-time independent artistry but for the 3 years prior I worked in youth mentorship. My friends and colleagues would describe me as loving & caring, honest & clear, organised, a thoughtful & passionate community leader. As an eldest sibling I consider myself the responsible one, I strive for efficiency, clarity & quality always.
As a kid, my grandparents tended a farm and I was probably just as close friends with the cows, horses, dogs, geese and even butterflies as I was with my school friends.

Gemma, 28: I'm a Domestic Flight Attendant working on the ground presently, an avid reader and the lawn dad of the relationship. My background is in youth and community work and the hospitality industry. I love travelling, enjoying a balanced cocktail (love a negroni) and seeing live music. Amongst the extroversion of my job, I've fostered a great love of getting a good massage, watching movies, reading science fiction and connecting to my culture in my martial arts practice. My loved ones would describe me as kind, attentive, fun, intelligent, practical & a great listener.

We've looked after staffies, chihuahuas, greyhounds, kelpies, shitzus/poodles, cats, fish, even a dingo named Honey, once.
Puppies to elder dogs, Kittens to witchy cats... and everything in-between and beyond <3 Read more...
