74, Retired

I’m a retired early childhood teacher, my family and grandchildren live interstate in Cairns and Adelaide.

favoriteWhy I love house sitting

As a family we have had the pleasure of owning several cats, rabbits,ducks and large dogs (samoyed and alaskan malamute). As i now travel frequently to visit family it is no longer feasible to be a pet owner. Miss my fur babies.

I have lived in our family home for 40 years and am looking at house sitting as a way of determining whether i would consider moving on a permanent basis to be close to family. In the past i have used Aussie House sitters for my own home and was super pleased with how it worked out.

In the past i have used Aussie House sitters for my own home and was super pleased with how it worked out.
In Adelaide I am particularly interested in long term positions. This is because my 5 yr old grandson was born with a life limiting condition. They do not have family support in SA and now that I retired I want to spend time as much time as possible supporting this incredible young family. They will be relocating back to Perth so not feasible for me to relocate.

How quickly life changes. My D-I-L passed away suddenly in March. I have been over here since then. Want to stay in area for at least 6 months whilst the family settles with there new reality. To have the opportunity to house sit for 3-4 weeks at a time would be oh gray assistance to me

Janice looked after everything for me as requested and I came home to a tidy house. Sooki seemed happy and healthy, Janice even sent me a sketch she had done of her. Happy to recommend Janice for future sits.
Janice did a great job of looking after our home and ragdoll cat for 4 weeks. Kitty was well cared for and the house was clean and tidy on our return. The bed had been stripped, washing done and made up ready for us to just go to sleep when we came home! We would be happy to have Janice look after our home and cat again.
Janice was the perfect housesitter for us. She looked after Leo so well and communicated with us regularly to let us know how he was going, We appreciated the photos and relaxed knowing he was in good hands. Janice kept our house was clean and tidy and it was a pleasure to come home to. I would recommend Janice to anyone seeking a great housesitter as you will not be disappointed.
Janice is a kind lady who was very caring towards the fur babies. The house was cleaned before I arrived home and plants watered. Thank you Janice for taking the time to pet sit
