Christine and Arnie

Retired

Retired

Hi, we are Christine and Arnie. We live in Burns Beach in the city of Perth in Western Australia. We enjoy our home and the animals and the garden. We love to travel and retired in January 2016. Arnie is an ex primary school principal and I have always worked in human resources/administration. In February 2016, we spent nearly 10 months travelling the US in an old RV. We then returned to Perth and in early 2017 we decided to do some volunteer work. We went to West Sumatra in Indonesia from June 2017 to June 2018. This was a wonderful experience. We returned in mid 2018 and have spent our time being with family and fixing up our house. I do voluntary crisis supporter work with Lifeline which is wonderful. I also volunteer at the WA Museum, the Red Cross Emergency area and a local Op shop.

In 2020, we were going will travel Australia in our camper however, Covid happened and we stayed in WA and have done little trips. We have three grandkids and enjoy our time with them and our children. In April this year, we left Perth to travel Australia for 12 months.

We are now in Esperance after nearly 11 months on the road. Whilst travelling, we house sat out side Brisbane looking after an alpaca, a very elderly cat and some chooks, in Nelson Bay, NSW, looking after 2 days and in Sydney looking after 2 dogs and some fish.
As our home in Perth is rented out until July, we have organised some sits to cover some of this period. We are still interested in others 🙂

Life is wonderful.

Thank you, for taking care of our house and the goodies you made and left for us. It was a comfort to know there was someone to look after the fort while we were away. Keep up the good work.

Christine and Arnie were a pleasure to have in our home. Our dog who would only bark at them when we first met was looking at the window waiting for their return when we arrived back home. Our house was left clean and tidy with washing sorted and the animals were very happy. We would recommend Christine and Arnie if you are looking for a house / pet sitter.

Big thank you to Christine and Arnie for looking after our home and animals so well. They were our very first Housesitters from aussiehousesitters and they put me totally at ease. Without their assistance we would not have been able to have had such a wonderful trip. Big thank you to both of you.

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
