Caring for your home, pets & plants

More information about this house sitter

Hi, I'm Andrew. I'm on the 'responsible' side of 60. I love the variety and flexibility of house-sitting, plus the opportunity to spend time with animals, esp cats and dogs. I'm a non-smoker and lead an active life.

CARING FOR YOUR HOME
I'm house proud and you can expect the greatest care for your property and belongings. When you return from your trip, you can look forward to a home that's as clean as you left it ... and maybe cleaner. Floors will be vacuumed, hard surfaces mopped. Oven and bathrooms cleaned. Linen washed.

I am happy to assist in other ways around your home:
- lawn mowing
- weeding
- watering
- sweeping leaves, etc
- collecting mail

I can also
- tackle any small fix-it jobs around your property
- assist you with transportation to/from the airport/bus/train depot

CARING FOR YOUR BEST FRIENDS
Kennels and catteries are expensive for you and difficult for your pets. Instead, I will provide personalised, loving care to your pets, in the home that they know.

I have been around animals all of my life. Cats and dogs have been a constant, but there have also been fish, chickens, guinea pigs, tropical fish, budgies, cockatoos, rats, snakes and lizards as well as pigs, horses and even sheep. I really enjoy having animals around.

I can look after your pets in lots of ways:
- feeding
- walking
- cleaning (fur, cages, etc)
- brushing fur/hair
- transportation (to vets, family, etc)
- applying any medications
- and providing them lots of personal attention

WIIFM (What's In It For Me)
They say a change is like a holiday and for me, house sitting is like that. I really enjoy the new surrounds, as well as meeting new people and their pets. I also like the fact that my living costs are lower!

COSTS
The basic idea is that we don't charge each other for the house/pet sitting as we both stand to benefit. That said, I expect to pay for my use of utilities.

So that's me and what I can do. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Give me a call and let's chat about what you need. Looking forward to assisting you - and your best friends!
