John & Marion - The travellers

More information about this house sitter

Well travelled, very capable, caring couple with extensive skills in DIY projects, garden design/maintenance, mechanical repairs, teaching, general pet care.
We have experience volunteeering on several outback Queensland cattle properties where jobs include building maintenance, motorbike repairs, vegetable garden construction, garden maintenance, water runs, pump & generator checks & repairs, cattle feeding, taking care of up to 10 cattle dogs including feeding, watering and running them (you don’t walk cattle dogs). We share the skills and tasks.
In the past 5 years, we have house sat or volunteered in homes and cattle properties in Charleville, Stirling North in SA, Gippsland in Victoria, Snowy Mountains and in the city of Brisbane and outer suburbs. We have had a break for 18 months and now ready to volunteer and house sit again.
We have owned our own homes since we married in 1973, so we know what is involved in looking after a property properly. We have looked after Cattle dogs, pig dogs, sausage dogs, poodles, collies, kelpies, cats, horses, cattle and many more.

We are both non smokers and fully vaccinated.
