Retired Professor and work from home Dietitian

Emeritus Professor

Dietitian

Retiring early, Glenn created his own podcast, called Inside Exercise (look it up 😊), while Kathy, a dietitian, works remotely 2 days/week with Deakin University. Both curious and inquisitive, we love travel and new experiences. After living overseas for periods of 6 months several times we've decided to become greyish nomads e.g. travelling Australia while housesitting and looking after people's lovely pets. We are renting out our house in Melbourne and exploring the East coast! We want to try out different areas with an eye to maybe retire at one of them.

We adore animals. It's probably fair to say that Glenn's obsessed with them (and they become obsessed with him!). Glenn grew up with dogs and a cat that he adored. As a family, we’ve had a cat and two dogs. We give them love, stimulation, play and activity, routine, taking care of medication requirements and competently handle issues/emergencies. We ensure the pet's daily routines and practices are kept. During the housesit we'll keep you up to date on your pet(s) adventures (texts, calls, photos, videos).

We are non-smokers, love exercise, honest, caring and considerate and we keep our and others' accommodation clean. Having been a landlord and previously having our dogs looked after for extended periods, we understand the importance of respect of others’ valuable property, plants and precious pets. We've lived overseas in furnished apartments that we cared for as if they were our own.

We have completed several housesits with small, medium and large dogs and have lots more confirmed sits. See the pics and feel free to view our references. We both have police checks.

Words cannot describe how amazing Glenn & Kathy are. When we came back and if we didn't get a side eye from the dog, its as if they had never been there. The house was left amazing and in better condition than when we left and Molly was extremely happy... seemed like she preferred the love from Glenn & Kathy, over us. Couldn't be happier with the love and care they had for Molly and communication throughout there stay, Thank you so much xx

Glenn and Kathy stayed for two nights. They are a lovely couple, very easy to communicate with and very responsive with replying to messages. We were very happy with the level of care Glenn and Kathy gave to our pup. She was exercised daily and given lots of cuddles and attention. Glenn and Kathy noticed our pup wasn’t eating her dinner and raised the concern with me and we were able to sort the problem out. I’m grateful for their attention to detail. We came home to a spotless house. ... MORE
 
LAURA (Curramore QLD, May 2024 - 2 nights)
We were so lucky to have Glenn and Kathy look after our dogs for 3 nights and would gladly have then return for future housesits, They were very flexible and met with us before we left on the day so we could provide a handover even going for a walk to show them the neighbourhood. We received fabulous updates and daily photos that showed the dogs were very well cared for and relaxed in their company. Coming home at 3am after a long flight home - we were greeted with our bed being made up with ... MORE

Glenn and Kathy were excellent housesitters. They gave our dog a lot of love and attention, and he lapped it up. We would be very happy to have them back again and highly recommend them as sitters.

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
