  • Dog(s), Cat(s), Fish, Bird(s), Rabbit(s)/Guinea Pig(s), Chickens/Ducks/Geese, Reptile(s), Farm Animals, Horse(s)
  • I grew up in country towns and spent every possible weekend on friend's farms because I loved them. I once had a holiday job helping with the lambs on a Welsh sheep farm. I'm happy to feed and clean up after animals, keep them company, monitor their progress/welfare and arrange veterinary care if necessary. I'm happy to be trained in the operation of farm vehicles where required. I'll be on my own so duties on the lighter side would be my preference, though I'd be happy to work in collaboration with any of your regular staff or helpers should the need arise.

Caring Reliable Friend.

50+, semi retired

I'm a mature, single, responsible, clean, tidy, experienced house and pet sitter. Non smoker non drinker. I've always loved spending time with animals. Even as a child I was known to be someone with a natural ability to connect with pet animals, including the ones that usually don't get on so well with people! I've looked after a range of pets including elderly/medicated cats, cattle dogs, a wolfhound/great dane cross, tiny terriers, elegant poodles, fish, hens, ducks, sheep, and a lizard. I'm very careful about security and pet safety when looking after homes and furry/feathered family members. Can provide references. I prefer longer housesits in the locations I've listed, but if you need an emergency sitter for shorter periods in the Canberra region, I may be able to help. Contact me at your convenience for a chat about your house and pet sitting needs! :-)

Julie was a fabulous house sitter, kind and thoughtful, affectionate with our precious dog, a great communicator during our holiday, neat and tidy - the house shone on our return. Julie re-introduced us to the joys of dog parks after we had given up on them, and shared the house and its responsibilities really well. We will definitely ask her again in the future. I warmly recommend Julie as a kind caring dog sitter and housesitter.
 
SUSAN (Downer ACT, May 2019 - 3 weeks)
Julie looked after our house and dog for 2 weeks in April. We felt very comfortable leaving everything in her care and she did a wonderful job looking after everything. We returned to a very relaxed and happy dog, who clearly enjoyed his time with Julie. She even sent us a couple of updates and pics during our time away. We would highly recommend Julie to anyone requiring an excellent, reliable housesitter and we would definitely use her again ourselves.

Thank you for your lovely review Sharee. Jasper is a cutie and I enjoyed having him around. He made for some happy walks because he's so friendly, well trained, and loves a chance to prove he's a good boy for a treat :) A real character. I found myself looking around for him after I left your ... MORE
Julie is a wonderful house sitter. She is reliable, shows integrity, and cares for the house and gardens beautifully.
 
BARBARA (Lyneham ACT, Dec 2018 - 3 weeks)
Julie was fantastic. SHe was home a lot which the dogs loved. She kept the house lovely and clean and when Mum returned from her trip she made shure everything is just the way she liked it. We would definitely recommend Julie and have asked her to sit for us again in November.
