About me

53, Sales Consultant

Hey there, I live on the Sunshine Coast and love exploring new regions, north, south or west! I'm an absolute animal lover, dogs, cats and especially chickens! Happy to walk, talk and feed!

favoriteWhy I love house sitting

The change of environment, and helping out lovely people, caring for their much loved pets, plants and home.

I'm a 53 year old female, living on the Sunshine Coast, QLD. I work from home which is super flexible, Wifi is preferred. I'm looking for House Sitting opportunities to initially create some time away from home and also to explore other QLD regions as I've moved from Victoria in the last few years. I'm currently living on acreage so a big or small house doesn't faze me. I love to cook and extremely respectful. I do have x3 little dogs but wouldn't bring them to a house sit as they love ...

I'm looking for House Sitting opportunities to initially create some time away from home and also to explore other QLD regions as I've moved from Victoria in the last few years. I'm currently living on acreage so a big or small house doesn't faze me. I love to cook and extremely respectful. I do have x3 little dogs but wouldn't bring them to a house sit as they love people but not other dogs! My husband would keep them cared for at home. I've done holiday swap homes before and managed my own holiday home on the Great Ocean Road. I'm available for short or long stays and happy to have a chat anytime.

Pet care

I grew up with cats, dogs, horses and sheep. Currently I have x3 little cross sausage dogs and have had jack russells. I wouldn't bring my dogs on a house sit as they're young and barky! Lovely with humans but not with other animals so they will stay at my home with my family.

agricultureFarm experience

I grew up on small acreage with horses and sheep. My parents then bought a berry farm in SA. Not huge farm experience but I understand morning and evening routines. Dairy farms would be way out of my league!!
