60, Retired Teacher

I started house sitting in Darwin whilst teaching, but have discovered that retirement and travelling are the best!
I am travelling with my new campervan around Australia and am looking for house sits as I go, including in my home town of Echuca/Moama. I enjoy looking after fur babies, and those with feathers and scales too!
I enjoy exploring new towns and experiencing living in a new community as I travel.

Petra was amazing. Looked after all our animals with the best care and house was spotless when we got home. Our cat had an accident just before we left and required some medication and Petra was more than happy to assist. Plus took sheets of the bed too.
Our first time using Aussie Pet Sitters and our experience with Petra was fantastic. She took wonderful care of our animals, kept the house neat and tidy and had great communication throughout the entire process. We'd be happy to have Petra back again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
Petra was pleasant, communicative and responsible. She contacted me about a concern for the dog’s health (which I had known about and was not a concern but I appreciated her initiative). She was flexible with arrival so that I could take her through the routine for the dogs,and left the house neat and tidy.she coped well with a frenetic household on the day she arrived, all going their separate ways.
I was very fortunate when Petra replied to my house sitter search as the dates suited us both perfectly. The icing on the cake was when my 2 little poodles lavished her with affection and as she reported, became her 2 little shadows. I am always grateful to see photos when I am away and Petra's communication and photos left a smile on my face each time. Petra managed the pool and plants for the short time required as well as kept her eye out for snakes!! Thank you Petra and all the best for ...

I do hope you find a little poodle to love when you eventually return to your home.

Petra came and looked after my home and pets for a week while we were away. Communication with Petra was great leading up to and during the sit. Our home and animals were cared for and we arrived home to a lovely clean home and happy animals. I highly recommend Petra for house sitting.
Thank you Petra! Very friendly and super clean! Highly recommended!
Petra looked after our home and pets perfectly! She followed all instructions to a T and kept me updated throughout the stay. The house was as we left it on return and she even washed the used linen. I would highly recommend Petra and hope she can sit for us again.
Petra was very easy to deal with, and left the house very tidy, and my garden was well looked after. Thankyou Petra
Petra was friendly, easygoing and a delight to have house sit for us. She was easy to get in contact with and to communicate with. She did a great job with our Rosy girl and we would recommend her 100% to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy house sitter.
The cats were well cared for and happy when I got back. House and garden was tidy and clean. Very happy and will definitely book Petra again next time I go away. Thank you
Petra was a great house sitter and Dex really liked her, which is the most important thing. The house was spotless and there were no issues. Petra is very easy to communicate with and responsive. I would highly recommend her and would use her again in a heart beat.
Petra was so easy to work with. From day 1 communication was clear and open. Pappy absolutely loved having her here. Our neighbours even commented on how she was the best we have had so far! House was immaculate when we came home. Definitely would have Petra back anytime! Thank you 🙏
Dogs were well looked after, house and garden adequately maintained while we were away.
Petra sat for us for 2 months and we are very happy that we chose her for the sit. Our puppy Yuki was only 5 months old when Petra arrived and required a routine. Petra did an outstanding job. She walked Yuki twice a day and instilled a great daily routine. We live in a really lovely area and have lovely neighbours. Petra engaged with all our neighbours and we understand that she enjoyed her time sitting for us. Petra left the house in an excellent condition. We couldn't be happier. We have ...

Petra was a great house sitter. The house was left clean and tidy just as i left it. The animals were well looked after. I would definitely have Petra back anytime. Highly recommend Petra.
Petra is a fantastic housesitter and I highly recommend her to look after your house & animals. Everything was seamless from the beginning and I felt very safe knowing she was looking after our three cats.
Petra was a superb house sitter, and I was very happy with the way she looked after my home and pet dog. I would highly recommend Petra to any perspective home owner.
Petra did a great job of looking after Max and the house and let me know how things were while I was away. Max was happy and the house was neat and tidy. I would certainly recommend Petra to take care of your pet and/or house.
Petra looked after the cat too well as she now misses her! Told us about an ailing plant. House and mail attended too. Would recommend Petra to any future clients.
Petra did a great job of looking after my two kitties while I was away for almost two weeks. I would trust her to look after my pets again. Very easy to deal with.
