Semi-retired, active, reliable & respect

More information about this house sitter

Hi! My husband Mark and I are keen travellers and love to walk, bike ride, swim and snorkel where ever we can and enjoy exploring different places. We are both semi-retired and have both worked in Education and training. I also have worked as a zoologist, specialising in spiders and insects. We enjoy gardening, reading and pottering about and will ensure your home is as you left it and your animals, vege patch and/or rose garden are alive and thriving when you return. We also love music and I travel with my ukelele and often meet up with different groups along the way. Mark is a mad keen follower of cricket and footbal - a lifelong supporter of St Kilda Football Club who never gives up hope of getting a flag...we believe we are so lucky to live in this country and never get bored with see the incredible flora and fauna.

Whilst we are new to formal house and pet sitting, we have looked after friend's and family houses and pets. We have also rented out our own properties and understand the importance of regular maintenance and early attention to potential issues with electricty, gas and water . We have had large rose/flower and vegetable gardens in previous houses and have had cats (Rag Doll and Russian Blues and tabbys) and dogs (Cavalier, German Shepherd). We have looked after West Highland Terriers, Cavaliers, Staffies. I have also looked after a variety of insects, spiders, lizards and fish. Read more...
