Animal Lover & Garden Enthusiast

63, Retired

Hi,
My name is Amanda and I've been House Sitting for many years throughout Western Australia, Darwin, Queensland and Victoria. As a Writer of Poetry and Children's Short Stories I can always be found sitting quietly reading or writing. Your pets will only be alone, when I need to go out for supplies. Many Owners call me an Animal Whisperer, because of my ability to relate and communicate with animals of all ages and sizes. I have a fondness for Elephants adopting two Orphans, Mapia a lovely male and Kiasa a cheeky female, living in Africa.
I am a non-smoking vegetarian, who loves life and gardening, so your plants will continue to thrive in my care. I don't have a car mainly because I prefer public transport or walking, especially when I sit all over Australia.
Thank you for reading my Profile and if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.

Amanda is a very experienced pet and house sitter. She looked after our pet turtle and two small dogs (including one elderly dog requiring medication) for 10 days and we were so happy with the attention they got. Amanda took them out for regular walks, ensured medication was provided accurately and got to know them so well. Our house was so clean and tidy when we returned. Amanda also ensured our indoor plants and those on the verandah and deck were watered regularly. She kept us informed of ... MORE

Amanda was easy to communicate with and the pet's and house were really well looked after. I would thoroughly recommend her as a sitter and she is welcome back any time

Amanda is amazing! She's awesome with animals, gardens and spotlessly clean. We'd have her back in a heart beat. Highly recommended!

Amanda was a great house sitter! Our furry daughter Lucy loved her and made a connection straight away. Amanda kept the house clean and tidy and in fact did some gardening for us which as a lovely surprise to come home to. Amanda was easy to communicate with and kept us updated with Lucy photos whilst we were away which was really nice. We would most definitely have Amanda house sit for us again and would highly recommend her services to others. Thank you Amanda!
 
ANTON (Gladstone QLD, Sep 2020 - 1 week 3 days)
Our pets thoroughly enjoyed being looked after by Amanda. I was not able to meet her prior to the sit as she was sitting out of area. She arrived the night before I left and our dog Bonnie welcomed her like an old friend. I took that as a very good sign. She is a warm and friendly person. The house was kept clean, neat and tidy. Amanda likes to garden so I was thrilled when she asked if she could do some weeding. Giving her free rein, we came home to neat garden beds and a repotted, welcoming ... MORE

Amanda was AMAZING and looked after our little cat so beautifully. She left our house so clean and tidy. Would love to have her house sit again. Amanda is kind, thoughtful and will look after your due baby so well. Our cat loved her. Thank you Amanda.
 
MAEVE (Chelsea VIC, Sep 2019 - 1 week)
Although we didn't meet Amanda until the day we left on our holiday, we immediately felt at ease with her and could see our cocker spaniel warming up to her. Amanda communicated well whilst we were away and sent through a couple of pics. We would have no problems recommending her and hope that one day she can sit for us again. Ps...thanks for the books...

Amanda was a fabulous house and pet sitter and I have no hesitation in recommending her. My house was cleaner than I left it, the garden and outdoor space were very tidy and my pets had obviously been very well cared for. Amanda also kept me updated with pictures. I would be very happy for Amanda to do return visits
 
MARLA (PORT KENNEDY WA, Jul 2019 - 2 weeks)
I have just realised that I didn't write a review for Amanda! Amanda is a fabulous house sitter, our pets were well cared for and we've kept in touch with Amanda over the past few years. We are thankful to Amanda, she is coming over to care for our pets in our new home, Last time Amanda sat for us she sent us regular updates and photo's of the pets, our home was clean and well cared for, we are looking forward to seeing Amanda again very soon and we highly recommend her for ...

VICKI (Rockingham WA, Mar 2019 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Amanda was fantastic, she was very easy to deal with, took wonderful care of our beautiful girls and as a bonus cleaned up and weeded our garden, such a lovely surprise to come home to. Both our beautiful golden Tricks and Piper loved her. We would definitely book Amanda for our next house sit, she was great.
 
CHRIS & LYN (Mccrae VIC, Oct 2018 - 4 weeks)
Amanda was able to look after my two dogs and home for a month. The house and dogs were all in excellent shape when I got home, it appears the dogs were sadder to see her go than to see me come home! Amanda did a fabulous job and also did some gardening and all in all everything was just wonderful. I have no hesitation in recommending her at all and have booked her again for next holidays.
 
JENNI (Rye VIC, Aug 2018)
I cannot express my thanks to Amanda. Amanda is a very caring person and looked, cared for my two little dogs and my home. I came home to two very happy dogs and my home was so clean and tidy. Amanda has a very friendly, polite, understanding and a very confident pet and house sitter.

Amanda was a fantastic house sitter. She clearly loved animals and took great care of our dogs and cat. Our home was spotless on return and we had great communication from Amanda. Would definitely recommend :)
