We are an older couple who love travel and housesitting. House sits are our preferred stay as we get to live like a local in a home environment including enjoying the company of family pets. It enriches our experience. We like exploring and going out for a few hours during the day but generally like being “at home” relaxing, reading and spending time with the pets.
We believe it is a win, win on both sides. We get to experience another lifestyle while looking after pets. The pets get to stay in their own environment and with their routines cared for by the two of us who genuinely love animals. We have found it a rewarding way to see new places and meet new people with the enhanced benefit of animal company.
We have been house sitting for over 7 years both in Australia and internationally having completed a number of sits in UK, Scotland, Netherlands, France, Turkey, Belgium and New Zealand. We have private sits (repeats) and others through another house sitting site. We have looked after dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, native and exotic birds, guinea pigs and kept an eye on farm animals eg sheep. We are calm people who adapt easily and can cope with change and emergencies. We feel it’s important to have the animals kept to their routines and in their home environment.
We bring our experience with animals from having pets throughout our lives
and from our past sits. We understand the different needs of pets and owners. We respect the routines of the animals we look after and the individual quirkiness of each, We bring our love for animals and we enjoy being in nice spaces. I am a keen gardener (belong to two garden clubs). Herman had his own home maintenance business and we live on 5 acres with fruit trees, olives, berries, garden beds and lots of lawn to mow so bring experience in looking after home and gardens. We also have solar, own sewerage treatment plant, watering systems, bore and water tanks and the ability to maintain them. We bring on open heart and an open mind.
