Why they want to house sit

I love housesitting as it gives me the opportunity to see more of the world and discover new areas, I may not normally get to visit.
I thrive in new environments and love learning new things. So caring for someone's home and animals feels like a gift as it gives me the opportunity to do both.
I am looking for a long term stay, so I can really get to know an area I will be staying in.
I love animals and enjoy the experience of getting to know a new fur friend, its personality, quirks and needs. All animals have different personalities and forming that bond and getting to know them is part of the beautiful journey of looking after them. They are part of your family and I know the trust involved in that. I had my Girl Chelsea cat for 21 years ( Little Blue Russian). I

Their experience

Hello Friends, Lovely to meet you! I have wide and varied experience in both staying in homes and animal care. I ran my home as an Air BNB for 4 years with over 64 Guests staying (References attached). So I know what it is to look after and maintain a property in a caring, clean and responsible manner. It gained a super host reputation at the time for my home and would extend the same pride to yours if I was staying there. I am also a very clear communicator so everything you require can be discussed easily. I take pride in the things I do.
My old landlord where I also lived for 10 years has supplied a reference.
I have also travelled extensively for work and have stayed in many homes across Europe, US, UK, Eastern Europe, Mexico as well as my homeland, Australia. I am very handy (Originally trained in Sculpture) so I can fix, paint, sew, garden if anything needs a little work. My skills are wide and varied.

Pet Sitting
I have always been around animals growing up with a pet sheep, goat, a dog and 2 birds so I am comfortable around most animals. I also volunteered at the Urban Cat Collective for 2 years taking in Stray cats often traumatised, shy, malnourished and also pregnant mums about to give birth (Reference Attached). I often received troubled cases as I am good at understanding what animals need. My role was to nurture the newborns so they would be loving and ready to be sent to their forever homes. I've dealt with aggressive street cats and very shy and also very clingy animals that all require a different type of love and care. My cat Chelsea lived to 21 years and was a beautiful fur friend to the end. I also pet sit around Melbourne for years all number of pets.
