Most importantly is my love and passion for all animals, dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, horses, chickens, goats, (well maybe not snakes) lol. I am a responsible, mature adult who has been house sitting for the past 10 years in Australia and overseas. I am a non-smoker and have a current Police check as I work with children and Seniors. I am semi retired so have the time and flexibility to house sit and care for your precious animals, what I get out of it is a chance to visit different places in this gorgeous country. I worked as a dog walker and have very good references for both looking after homes and animals. Watering gardens, bringing in the mail, keeping your home clean and lots of love for your animals whilst you enjoy your time away. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and I am happy to Skype to meet you before if you wish. Many thanks Barbara

Barbara was good with communication prior to the sit and was understanding of the lack of service we had whilst away. We did have issues with proper care of some of our animals (fish over fed and one died and not enough water for our dogs). Also some of our freezer items were damaged due to the doors not being closed properly. Barbara was pleasant and apologetic but unfortunately, we weren’t as happy as some previous house owners.

I was devastated when she told me the fish had died, this has never happened before I offered to pay for another fish this wasn’t mentioned in her review of me, the dogs had been for a long walk and I definitely checked their water before I left it was full, unfortunately the bunny is caged and ...

Thank you Barbara for taking such good care of our farm dogs and chickens. You also left the house beautifully clean and tidy.
 
LARISSA (Lanitza NSW, Dec 2023 - 5 nights)
Barbara did a wonderful job looking after our two cats, two dogs, 1 bird and our home. We arrived home to find contented animals and a spotless house. She was an excellent communicator too, giving us daily updates. She's very responsible and I highly recommend her.
 
SABRINA (Church Point NSW, Nov 2023 - 3 nights)
Sabrina’s home is comfortable with lovely views of the water The two poodles so cute and friendly and two sleepy cats and a bird were a pleasure to look after Thanks for the opportunity Sabrina
Barbara was a great house sitter. She followed all our instructions, was a clear communicator and clearly our dog loved her care and company. Thanks so much for looking after Billie!
 
SARAH (Marrickville NSW, Apr 2022 - 4 days)
Billie is the sweetest, was a pleasure to look after her. Dave and Sarah made me feel welcome and were generous as well as I had a nice bedroom with ensuite bathroom. Also a great pub nearby serving delicious food and bead cafes
Such a pleasure to write a review for Barbara. We came home to an immaculate home and a tenaciously cared for garden. Our dogs demand a lot of affection (!) and Barbara clearly gave it to them. Would absolutely love to have Barbara sit again and would highly recommend to anyone. She really and truly went above and beyond.
 
PETER (Carcoar NSW, Dec 2021 - 1 week 6 days)
Barbara was a pleasure to have in our house and easy to communicate with. She looked after our aged cat, watered the garden and left the house clean and tidy. Purrfect!
 
DEBBIE (Waukivory NSW, Dec 2021 - 1 week 5 days)
Hi Debbie Sorry I said Kathy in my review Hope sneaky is well after his encounter with a cow
Barbara is easy to talk to and she gave me confidence through the common sense questions she asked. Our darling doggy clearly was well looked after and exercised. We'd like Barbara to stay again.
 
LOUISE (Vincentia NSW, Apr 2021 - 3 days)
Barbara looked after our active dog, chooks and budgies. She was very responsible, accommodating and graciously agreed to stay longer when our flights changed. Our dog had been obviously well cared for and looked very content and cared for when we returned. We really appreciated being able to get away and know Barbara was looking after everything.
 
CAROLINE (Bellingen NSW, Jan 2021 - 2 weeks)

KERRIE (Bonnells Bay NSW, Oct 2020)
Barbara and her friend Becky took care of my two dogs for almost a week. One of the dogs was just a puppy, just under 12 months and I think she was better trained when we returned than when we left., Certainly, while the dogs were very excited to see us return - they then spread their attentions between Barbara, Becky and us. I was very pleased with the ease of arranging the sit, and the communication during the sit. If Barbara were around (she travelled from the USA) I would be very happy ... MORE
 
JANET (Bankstown NSW, Jan 2020 - 5 days)
Communicating with Barbara was very easy. She took great care of our two boys and our home was clean and tidy upon our return, I would happily have her take care of our pets and home again and would recommend her for your house sit. :-)
 
SKYE (Emerald Beach NSW, Sep 2018 - 1 week)
No rating Barbara was a very trustworthy Housesitter and looked after our two babies very well. I would recommend her for any house sit.
KATE (Tanilba Bay NSW, Dec 2017 - 5 days)
No rating Barbara took care of our home, garden and very precious dog for 2 weeks over the Christmas break. We also have hens, 2 horses and a fish. We were very happy with the care of our animals and our home. It is the first time that we have left our dog with a house sitter and the experience was wonderful. Barbara took great care of him, walking him daily and thoroughly spoiling him. Barbara kept in contact via text messages which was a great comfort to us. I would highly recommend Barbara to ... MORE
