More information about this house sitter

Well hello!
People, Pups 🐕and Pusses 😸
I started my housesitting life in 2012 and loved it immediately. I needed to pause it for a few years to renovate my place which I sold in December 21.
My home base is Newcastle.
I understand the level of trust involved and the blood, sweat and tears, not to mention money, that goes into making a house a home! I have only needed to be a housesitter so far, not yet the homeowner taking that leap of faith to leave my place with someone.

I had brother and sister Border Collies from puppies, aged 15, I lost Tilly (sudden seizure) in June 21 and had to let Charlie go a month later in July 21 after palliative care for cancer was no longer working. At least they are together in spirit 🥲

I really really really miss having dogs and cats of my own, but right now I want to travel, I haven't seen much of the country. I get to see my son's rescue cat, Tabatha Tiger, (a tabby of course) quite a bit, who is quite a character. An excellent traveller, getting attention in her carry case to visit with my son Allan on train and bus or direct ferry. She loves stretching her legs and exploring at my house after Al's flat.

I definitely have a lot of love to give your precious furry family. I am an experienced housesitter having previously looked after more than 6 other properties, often twice and sometimes thrice!!! The first sit I did was 3 weeks looking after an organic farm in 2012 with 60 chickens!
🐔🐔🐔 To my last one at a Pymble mansion with 7 bedrooms in October 23. I only needed one bedroom!
A lovely beach house I looked after twice had Wolfy, an insulin dependent diabetic old boy, who was totally blind, needing testing and insulin shots and extra supervision. And he was such a sweetheart. ❤️
A house on the river at Port Macquarie that I looked after twice had two Staffys. One of which was a rescue dog. A recent assignment in Cairns over Christmas/New Year 22/23 for 5 weeks had two very loveable Chihuahuas.
I am completely besotted with all animals, big bird fan too. But PLEASE NO caged birds, it doesn't seem fair...
I'm experienced with many wild bird visitors, as well as the possum types.
Many thanks for taking the time to check me out 😁
