Terrific care

70, Semi retired

I am a youthful fit, recently remarried, man with grown up children overseas. My wife may or may not spend spend time in the sit..Will confirm.
I have been an air bnb host for many years, lived overseas a lot and had pets of my own since a child.
I read, love music, garden, am house proud, a good cook, and keep a good home.
I talk to and exercise pets not just feed them ! I have looked after many for friends and family and had my own.
I have farm house sit recently, and did for several years here and overseas.
Have own bike and van and happy to provide photos etc..
I am a good handyman, a caring house keeper and good cook, Gardening and farm work, not an issue. My knowledge of agriculture and grazing etc is wide and I am aware of both stock and pasture conditions etc.Drive both bikes and tractors
Can ride motorbikes,talk to horses, and generally get along with most cats !
Including humans........
NOTE I may ask for payment and /or a transport contribution if remote and heavy farm work or mustering reqd....and favor at least a week sitting.A normal sit without farm work has no payment request which is minimal anyway.

John provided exceptional care for our cherished French bulldog puppies and our home for two weeks. His reliability and competence gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation, as we knew everything back home was in good hands.

John did a great job looking after our animals while we were away. His easygoing but knowledgeable nature was reassuring. The animals were all happy and healthy upon our return, and the house was very neat and tidy. There was not a huge amount of communication while we were away, which gave us the opportunity to relax and enjoy our holiday without worrying about home - no news is good news! Thank you, John for such a great job.

John house sat my dog and indoor only cat for just under 2 weeks. As soon as we met in person, I felt at ease that my pets would be in good hands. His communication was always speedy and he made sure to note the dates I'd be in reception and text me to let me know the pets were safe. Both pets seem very calm and happy on my return. John is a very affable person and a lovely house sitter.

Thanks Jessica ..oh you didn't notice the weeding haha
John did a phenomenal job of looking after Wrinkles (and the house)! I returned to a happy and calm cat who did not miss me at all. Very grateful to John for housesitting :)

John was a great help to us! He looked after our domestic animals and the livestock on the property extremely well. John understood the importance of water for our livestock and regularly checked water points and tanks. Nothing was a problem, I would recommend John as a House/Farm sitter and would have him back tomorrow.

House Security

Safe house!

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