About this sitter

I have been the guardian of properties small and great enjoying the opportunity to immerse in different living environments. It is a delight. Remote and reclusive are perfect this end and as attractive as being in the thick of things! So too rustic or palatial. Each have their unique charms. We have been doing home exchanges for well over a decade and minding homes for nearly as long so have oodles of experience. All manner of pets, ranch and farm animals are cared for expertly and loved unconditionally.

I am a former Management Consultant now spending my time in my art studio at home in the tranquil setting of the Lower Daintree. If I am travelling as I do often then I take my writing and work with me and when I am here I enjoy making the bits I do encrypted with the healing energies of the locality to sell at the Port Douglas Cotters Market, see pics.

I have done many house sits in Australia, the UK as well as abroad. These include a Villa in Chacala Mexico where we were able to experience working briefly with an educational project for local children as well as local village life out of tourist season.

Looking after an incredibly remote ranch in Nevada in 2015 Christmas in the Monitor Valley. With temperatures below minus 15 Celsius. We had our work cut out for us tending the two donkeys, goat, small herd of five horses and two foals which were down off the range for the winter. 40 miles dirt (or snow and ice) and 40 miles tar to the nearest shop, off grid close to many military bases and Area 51 so it was a no fly zone. The most peaceful place we have ever been. It was Gabriels best experience ever he says and during our time there he tamed the foals to the extent they allowed him to hand feed and pet them.

Also Orange County CA., Carqueiranne, Cote d'Azur, Somerset, UK, amongst many others.

As well as having owned extensive and remarkable properties myself I love experiencing different homes and locations. I have local police check certificates I can forward once contact is made.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Why they want to house sit

This to me is a way of truly visiting somewhere. Staying in a local abode in a local community and Being as one would if living somewhere is my idea of interacting with where I choose to travel rather than a resort which is the same no matter where it is built usually.

Their experience

See above. I have over twenty years experience now as this is a way of life for me and enjoy having others sit my abodes when I am away.

What can they bring to the assignment

I am incredibly resourceful and mend things automatically so enjoy that sort of thing. I also understand what an owner needs to hear in order to be able to relax and enjoy where they are knowing that their place is in capable and caring hands.
