Clean, quiet, reliable, retired couple

More information about this house sitter

We are a calm, happy, respectful couple with a small eco footprint, who adore all animals and almost fully retired. We were also foster cat carers but now adopted. We have had pet/house sitting experience for years with very happy and appreciative home owners. Tim, is a retired handyman/coffee machine technician, 63 yrs of age. I'm Calli, 60 yrs old, and work casually on the phone as a Greek Interpreter. So I need mobile phone coverage.

We are flexible with our dates. Your pet would have loving company during the day other than us doing some sightseeing if your area is new to us.

We're non smokers, house proud who treat others and their property the way we want to be treated, for eg we're conscious of not being wasteful of utilities and we wont empty your fridge and pantry :).

We're fit and healthy, animal and nature lovers, very clean and reliable (see references). Your house and pet will be very well looked after and respected as we are grateful that you are entrusting us with a highly important and valuable part of your life! We are honest, quiet, and easy to get along with, mostly flexible with booking dates.

All our lives we've had pets-cats, dogs, birds, chooks-but not now. So we have experience with animals and can 'communicate' and connect with them well. We love to love a pet at a house sit, as we get pet clucky, while at the same time enjoying a break from our home. Love cuddles and walks.

We would also enjoy just a house sit if no pets and can do light gardening/lawn mowing and pool maintenance.

PLEASE NOTE: Our deal breakers? Do not invite us if your house isn't very clean and tidy and if you have no heating!

We have police clearances and working with children checks due to our Bible volunteer work. We can also provide verbal referees upon request.

I've given all the relevant details I can think of but please don't hesitate to ask us anything that'll help both you and us in enjoying a good house sitting experience. Every home owner has their individual needs so let us know.

Below are references I've copied and pasted from another website we also subscribe to. Also please click on our references on this (Mindahome) site.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

[Rating: 5.0] I cannot speak highly enough of Tim and Calli who cared for our house and cat over the past 6 weeks while we were overseas. We met them only briefly before we left but over the time we were away I developed the most amazing email relationship with. Calli who corresponded regularly and provided day to day details of their activities and interaction with our young Siamese, who they seemed to adore and the feeling was obviously mutual. Since they left yesterday , she has been on a reconnaissance mission in search of her missing friends. On our return we found both the house and pool in immaculate condition, all laundry done and wonderful surprises in the refrigerator for our first day home after a long long flight. These sitters were Heaven sent. I have no hesitation in giving them the highest possible recommendation

It was a pleasure to have Calli and Tim to sit our house and look after our ageing cat over the Christmas period. They looked after the house and garden and all my pots beautifully, despite the extreme heat and we would not hesitate to have them sit for us again.

Calli & Tim were wonderful house sitters. They took great care of our home, leaving it clean & tidy as they'd found it. Most importantly the looked after my old girl Loulu very well, I know she was happy and loved. I have no hesitation in recommending Calli, to house sit and care for your pets. I'd be happy to have them back again.
