Hello I'm Roxy, I would like to introduce myself, I am semi-retired DOG TRAINER with over 45yr experience and have a wide range of experience with horses, (adore) cats, budgies, goldfish, Turtles, goats etc. Also if your pet needs hand feeding, we can do that too.

Optional extras if required, fees apply.
decluttering/Organising pantry, linen cupboard, cleaning fridge etc. Dog training, dog clipping.
I have police check and am vaccinated for your peace of mind.

I love all animals, all sizes, I also take on house sits for people that don't have animals..
Willing to look after anything from a unit to home on acreage..
Happy to do long or short sits from Central Coast, Lake Macquarie, Newcastle & mostly up the East Coast of New South Wales.

The house sit service provides:-

Live-in house sitting by myself. I'm a mature, trustworthy, tidy, non-smoker with no addictive habits ...
Pet and animal care as disgusted with owners, including walking, cleaning, giving medicines, and generally giving them good company and a fun experience. Will walk and swim them if they like -- notice the 30 mtr lead & harness when swimming the dogs in the pictures. (Looks like a black snake, but it's the lead.)
Garden small maintenance.
Collection of mail.
Cleaning pools.

Different homes have different equipment so instruction before you leave is always a good thing.

I have experience in checking fences on rural properties as I have lived on acreage.

I enjoy spoilt pets and although I am an animal trainer, I do not train house sit pets unless asked to..

I would also update you with photo's so you can see first hand that your loved ones are being cared for with such love and attention, which may also put you at ease.
Confidence that your home and possessions will be looked after with attention and respect.
I will have professionals out for your pets if needed .... horse dentist .... vet ... etc.

As I work as a dog trainer, I could help your pets with anxiety when you go away & could help your pets adjust if you'd like me to. Even if you get another sitter, I could help with training before you go away.

I have owned & rescued - horses , a goat , birds, cats, dogs and even goldfish ..

Meeting with owners a few times before the sit starts is great, if possible where pets are involved, it normally helps the pets when they are use to a new person caring for them.

... Semi-retired DOG TRAINER ready at moment's notice, have superior morals & work ethics with impeccable references & no addictive habits.

Some Home-Sitting, PET SITTING & PROPERTY MANAGEMENT / CARETAKING EXPERIENCE...

20.10.12 till 21.11. 2013 ---- 4br House, Pool & Dog sit .. Wamberal Central Coast NSW... Was responsible for the security and upkeep of a private home, garden , along with numerous potted plants (indoors and outdoors), a pool, mail sorting and the owner's 2-year old gorgeous dog. Taught her to swim as her owners wanted her to, as she would only go in until her tummy touched the water. She is in one of my photos swimming. ---

References House / Pet sitting Reference-- Roxy is a very experienced dog trainer and has your pets best interests at heart. Our large dog was well looked after (if not a little chubby on our return!) and had been taught to swim!

Our home was perfectly clean, the way we had left and with no damages at the end of 4 weeks. We would recommend Roxy as a reliable housesitter.

House Sitter Reference -

Roxy looked after my house, on a working horse property, for 4 weeks whilst I was overseas.

She resided in my house for that time.

At the time there were 15 horses that required full attention re feeding and rugging. Also Roxy liased with clients who owned agisted horses.

She took care of my 3 dogs as well as groomed them. Roxy is an experienced dog groomer and I knew I could rely on Roxy if any medical emergency was required for the dogs.

On my return the house was how I left it, tidy and clean, the pool was sparkling and the animals were happy. Had no problems. Read more...
