David DMC

54, Journalist/Writer

I've worked as a journalist for numerous news organizations around the world. My longest tenure was with CNN as an editor in Hong Kong, where I covered numerous global stories including the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami and the 2011 Japanese earthquake.

I've also worked for The Australian newspaper in Sydney and the Herald Sun newspaper in Melbourne.

I was born in the Australian coastal city of Wollongong, and was an original member of one of its most beloved 1990s bands, the Merry Widows.

When not in Australia or travelling internationally (I'm sometimes commissioned by Australia's largest travel publication, Escape, to write articles of destinations I visit), I can be found hanging out in Hong Kong. I'm currently on contract with the United Nations as an editorial consultant.

I am an extremely experienced sitter and have more than a dozen referrals that state how pleased previous house-owners have been with me, and happy to provide contact details for those house-owners, if requested.

David is a respectful and courteous house sitter. He took perfect care of our cat and house while we were away. David's communication was regular, and he provided updates on our cat when asked. I wholeheartedly recommend David to any potential house sitters.

David was a fine Housesitter. Happy to recommend him to other members.
 
BRENDA (O’Connell NSW, May 2023 - 2 weeks and 2 days)
We left for our trip feeling entirely confident that our two furry people would be well cared for. We arrived back to find them well and happy, and the apartment clean and tidy. Also extra thanks to David for helping ensure that arrangements were easy and trouble-free.

Safe house!

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