Experienced house sitters- family of 3

More information about this house sitter

Hello, my name is Maarja, a single mum to two homeschooled kids( Matilda -14 and Mattias -12 years old).
We have been house and petsitting on and off since 2018. Initially this was inspired by the desire to travel more but it is also became really handy during the rental shortage. We will continue to do this until a more permanent home presents itself.

We have looked after various animals- cats, dogs, guinea pigs, chickens, roosters, other birds, fish, rabbits, sheep, alpacas, goats, donkeys.
Have housesat in small apartments, houses and small farms, maintained pools, cared for plants/gardens and lawns. I have drivers licence and I am handy with general power tools if small maintenance jobs come up during our stay.
I also have previously managed and cleaned Airbnbs and have lots of experience in hospitality. So if you have a holiday letting on your property that needs looking after while you are gone, I am happy to discuss that.

We have great references from our previous housesits. Many which you can find in our profile, but can also provide contact details to some of the previous owners on request, who are happy to give more personal feedback. We are kind and caring towards your pets and property.

I am originally from Estonia, but am Australian citizen for many years now. Both my kids are born here. I am a non-smoker and enjoy a social drink every now and then. I love to create art in my spare time (paint, draw, digital art) and enjoy both cafes/culture, that cities offer and nature walks in the countryside. My daughter Matilda and son Mattias are both gentle and mature in nature. They love looking after animals and will give extra cuddles to yours, if needed. They are also mindful of the different nature of different animals and know the time and space the more timid pets need. Homeschooling provides us freedom to move around Australia and discover different places we have not been to yet. We do prefer longer housesits but are also open to short stints if needed.

Looking forward to meet you. Read more...
