Peaceful, thoughtful and respectful.

35, Writer / Registered Nurse

Hi there!
Claire here :)
I am 35, a writer, registered nurse, facilitator, nature and animal lover. While giving the utmost care for your house, animals and garden, I will be writing a book/ working from home and doing some casual care work in the area for short shifts.

What can I offer you and your home, pets and gardens? I have 1 year caretaking experience of a large bush property/ holiday rental in exchange for free studio accomodation in Balnarring, Victoria in 2016/2017 where I tended to the gardens/ veggie patches and helped with cleaning the holiday rental. I have 7 months experience pet and house sitting in the south west region of WA and in Perth, WA in 2018/2019- all up I happily cared for 10 households/ gardens and the home owners pets in exchange for the accomodation of the home, they were all very happy with some booking me for repeat sits. (this was all via local fb house sit pages so unfortunately no reviews on here)

I have been a professional gardener while living in WA and I am confident/ capable with a ride on mower, hand held mower, hedge trimmer, whipper snipper and love weeding/ tending to veggie gardens.
I have cared for a variety of cats, dogs, chickens and have a very can do attitude so am open to what your pets/ animals needs are and accomodating same- I will also give them lots of love, attention and lovely long walks if that is what they need to thrive! I am respectful, reliable, punctual, honouring of commitments and really value clear communication. In my spare time I love to learn yoga, meditate, swim, go to the gym, bush walk, read and get crafty.

I can assure you that will arrive home from your time away to a clean, tidy, well cared for home and pets happy and healthy. I am very practical and attentive so if there is any cause for concern for your animals I will not hesitate to take appropriate action, such as taking to Vet. Also if there are any issues that arise at your home, I will be in contact with you for best actions- or contact your preferred trades people etc.

I have references I can provide upon request. I have made wonderful connections through house sitting and maybe you will be the next : ).
Contact via phone is best for a prompt response, though I will be checking this inbox regularly.

Kindly,

Claire

Clare proved to be an wonderful housesitter during our month-long holiday. Her care for our cat Taj was great. The house was immaculate upon our return. Clare's thoughtful updates, sent regularly, provided us with peace of mind. I would recommend Clare as a trustworthy housesitter. We are grateful for her responsible and caring approach, making our time away worry-free.

Claire was the perfect house sitter. She has a beautiful affinity with animals and developed a lovely relationship with Alfie. Our home was lovely to walk back into. Claire is resourceful and competent and we would highly recommend her for any future house sits. We were so grateful to have our holiday with no worries!
