Easy going, handy and creative people who love culture

About this sitter

My husband and I have worked hard and are soon going travelling together. We love animals and enjoy being a part of a local scene. House sitting allows us to enjoy both! We have collectively had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rats, ducks, chickens, and children - so we can deal with most things.
Not looking for anything in particular, just want to see where this will take us.
We've had very responsible jobs and have worked since we were very young, so we're going to make the most of forced retirement!

Why they want to house sit

We figured that we could help people get away for a break and, being ex animal owners, we know that's important, but so is the welfare of your animals and plants and security of your home.

Their experience

I have house sat a farm in Chittering, Western Australia on a couple of occasions. There were orchards, a pool, chickens, cats and dogs to care for, plus a substantial house.
I house sat in Vanuatu, and went through two cyclones. I'm now handy with a machete! I cared for a puppy, cats and chickens. There was also a pool, staff and a solar array! It was complicated at first. Fortunately I learn quickly.

What can they bring to the assignment

Level headed and a common sense attitude. I'd treat your animals, plants with the care I'd give my own place.
My husband and I are currently selling everything for a new stage in our lives. We're still pretty active as we're only in our 50's. We can stay for short or long stays depending on other commitments!
