Jan: 65, Retired

Retired, fit and active Australian with experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m calm, reliable and respectful, and understand pets need patience, routine and empathy.

favoriteWhy I love house sitting

I love building trust with each pet, learning their personality and reading their body language so they feel safe, happy and settled. I also value giving owners peace of mind—a chance to get away knowing they can trust me to care for their pets.

I am a retired Australian with genuine experience caring for both dogs and cats through TrustedHousesitters. I have looked after pets with different personalities, energy levels and needs, including dogs that enjoy companionship and cats that prefer a quieter, more independent approach.

I enjoy getting to know each pet as an individual rather than assuming one approach suits all. I pay close attention to body language and behaviour, as these are important ways pets communicate how they are ...

I have looked after pets with different personalities, energy levels and needs, including dogs that enjoy companionship and cats that prefer a quieter, more independent approach.

I enjoy getting to know each pet as an individual rather than assuming one approach suits all. I pay close attention to body language and behaviour, as these are important ways pets communicate how they are feeling. I take time to build trust, respect boundaries and maintain familiar routines, including feeding, walks, companionship and gentle reassurance.

I am fit, active, calm, reliable and responsible. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, communicate regularly and treat every pet and home with genuine care and respect. As I am retired, I can offer plenty of time, patience and a consistent presence.
