Dedicated Pet/House Sitter

6O +, Retired

Hello all, my name is Sue and I would like to introduce myself to prospective home and/or pet owners. I currently reside in Queensland.

I am an experienced non-smoking house sitter, reliable and caring. I will treat your pets like my own, as part of my family, and keep you regularly updated with messages and photos.

A former home owner myself, I will take exceptional care of your house and/or furbies. My goal is for you to come back from your time away to a clean home and very happy and healthy pets. Being retired, I have all the time in the world to be a constant companion to your pet who will always be my main priority, I take my role very seriously. Sitting is basically my job and there is plenty of opportunity for me to sightsee etc both before and after a sit so your home and animals will always be my main focus. I have attached a few photos of some of the adorable furbabies which I have cared for. Each and every one I grew to love so much. It is difficult not to become attached but attached is definitely what happens! Every one of my babies has had their own special idiosyncrasies which brings me so much joy. They all give love and companionship, asking nothing in return but a nice belly rub, cuddles, and food of course!

With a thirst for adventure and a love for animals, I combine my passions by travelling the world, caring for pets and living as the locals do. I have now succumbed to my inner gypsy and have begun home and pet sitting on a permanent basis. We only have one chance at life and my plan is to see and experience as much of it as possible. In 2019, I sold my home, packed my bags and began what was to be house/pet sitting throughout the world and was booked with sits throughout Asia and the UK. Unfortunately, that dreaded virus struck and my dreams were shattered. But now we are free to travel again and I have been doing so since borders reopened and people began once again to live normal lives.

Before retiring, I worked in customer relations and sales. For five years when I had my home, I hosted international language students for one to three months at a time and have also been an Airbnb host. I love all animals, my Ziggy Dog was my whole life, like my child, but sadly I lost her a few years ago - she cannot be replaced. She is the one with the big "Christmas ears" in my photos, though I am a few years older now! I have a great zest for life, travel certainly broadens the mind and instils an amazing sense of understanding with all those we meet along the way. Previously I have had darling doggies, very beautiful cats and also fish, rats, birds, name it, I have had them all - all creatures great and small. Being a very capable female, I know how to care for a home and for property. Quite the handywoman, I enjoy gardening, mowing lawns and any small maintenance work that needs doing and created my own sanctuary at home with palms, ponds, gardens etc.

So that's a little about me. If you would like to consider me to care for your home and/or furbies, I am happy to chat via phone, Messenger or whichever communication works best for you, I am available 24/7 if need be.

Thank you for taking the time to read all this, I look forward to sharing the love.

Take care
Sue

Sue was a wonderful house sitter. She kept the house and yard in immaculate condition - we came home to a clean and fresh house and yard. Sue kept in contact with us while we were away - letting us know of all mail incoming and just generally keeping us aware of all happenings in our home and neighbourhood. I couldn't recommend Sue highly enough as a person and a house sitter.

Thanks guys, so glad you were happy with my sit. Hopefully we get to do it again sometime. Enjoy your next travels wherever they may take you x
First time using a house sitter, was a little worried & took my time choosing the right person. Sue was the perfect fit,realiable, trustworthy and absolute gem! Sue looked after our cat,pot plants & house. She endured heat waves,a black out and severe storm all in a week. Mother nature sure tested her, but she was so capable. We highly recommend Sue, she sent photos and regular updates. Lovely lady, you would be lucky if she can sit for you. Thanks again Sue.
 
SIMONE (Cedar Grove QLD, Jan 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
Thank you, Simone, such beautiful words, my head might not get through the door after this review! Very much appreciated, love to Sissell 💖
I cannot speak highly enough of Sue as a housesitter and wonderful human.. the communication we received was amazing (the pics worth framing!) and our house was simply spotless when we got home. Our garden was well tendered and she did way more than we expected - including dinner in the fridge when we got back! Our pets are looking for her around the house and we hope we can have Sue look after our fur kids and house again. I cannot recommend her highly enough.. 5 stars are not enough.
 
NATASHA (Upper Mount Gravatt QLD, Jan 2024 - 2 weeks 2 nights)
Thanks Tash and Jason, such a lovely review! I do hope we can make it work for your next trip away. Cuddles to "the kids", I do miss them 💘
We are very grateful again for having Sue take such good care of our place whilst we were away for 5 weeks. Everything was very well taken care of and we were delighted that our young cat Finn put his trust in Sue (we were unsure) and rewarded her for with lots of cuddles in appreciation. Mr Bill (Galah) was also given lots of care and attention and it was lovely to return knowing everything was as we had left it and that our plants were thriving despite the dry. We would have no ...

JANET AND FRED (Chambers Flat QLD, Sep 2023 - 4 weeks - 1 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Sue has recently completed a 6 month house sit for my wife and I just south of Brisbane. Along with the house sit which was on 5 acres, Sue had to look after our 2 small dogs aged 13 and 14. Sue did a fantastic job in sorting out a new chlorinator for our pool as well as organising professionals to come to our house and carry out work on Lawns, edges and gutters. We were extremely pleased with the way Sue managed and looked after our home. The communication between Sue and us while we were ... MORE
 
KAREN AND WAYNE (South Maclean QLD, Mar 2023 - 6 months)
Thanks Wayne and Karen, it's great knowing that you were happy with how I cared for your home and doggies. Looking forward to my next stay.
We cannot speak highly enough of having Sue sit our property whilst we were away. Not only did she take such very good care of Bella and Mr Bill but also took such good care of our property. She manicured our huge lawns (no mean feat!), whipper snipped around the house/paths/patios and had the place looking lovely for our return. Our pool was well maintained (not expected) and plants watered, Sue was everything we were looking for to take care our our small acreage block. We will definitely ... MORE
 
JANET AND FRED (Chambers Flat QLD, Dec 2022 - 2 week - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Once again, we were able to head off on vacation knowing that Soda, our 11 year old Staffy/Cattle dog cross was receiving the very best of care. Sue lavishes heaps of attention on our fur child and looks after her every need. Sue also left our house in great condition and her communication when the pool needed attention was excellent. I can thoroughly recommend Sue and will plan our next holiday around her availability.
 
GAIL (Oxenford QLD, Jan 2022 - 2 weeks 2 days - 1 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
It was an absolute pleasure having Sue house sit for us over the Christmas period. She communicated with us while we were away and we received beautiful little photos of our cat Boo being loved and spoilt. Sue looked after our house as if it was her own and it was left immaculate and beautifully clean. We loved and appreciated the little touches of milk in the fridge when we came home and sunflowers from our garden in a vase with a framed picture of Boo. I have no hesitation at all in ... MORE
 
NAOMI (Thornlands QLD, Dec 2021 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Sue was wonderful in her communication and kept me posted on a daily basis including sending photos of my pets. She was extremely clean and tidy, I think the place may have looked better after she left actually. Also it was so wonderful that she went out of the way to mow the lawn and give the garden some extra care, even after I said she didn't have to. What an amazing housesitter, I highly recommend Sue to anyone looking for a caring and communicative housesitter.
 
KELLY (Nelly Bay QLD, Dec 2021 - 6 days)
Geoff and I were lucky to have Sue look after our 2 cattle dogs while we went away for 10 days. Both dogs instantly became attached to Sue, she has a lovely way with dogs and they were obviously well looked after while we were away. The house was spotless when we arrived home and I was pleasantly surprised to find some kitchen drawers had been tidied up. We would be very happy to have Sue dog sit for us again.
 
SUE (Mt Hallen QLD, Nov 2021 - 1 week 3 days)
Sue did a 14 night sit for our 2 girls. I couldn't have been happier, communication right from the start was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and I know my 2 girls Daisy and Gypsy were looked after very well. They had an absolute ball with Sue, not only going to the dog park but also for a couple of swims at local dog beach. They are both sure to miss her very much. I would recommend Sue highly to anyone I know looking for a reliable competent sitter. We wouldn't hesitate at all to ... MORE
 
MICHELLE (Cleveland QLD, Nov 2021 - 14 Nights)
Thank you for a beautiful review, Michelle. The pleasure was most certainly mine and I thank you for allowing me to care for your special furbies and for opening your home to me.
We have only good things to say about Sue. It was so relaxing being able to enjoy our holiday knowing that our animals and home were being well cared for. Communication was great - Sue regularly checked in with us to let us know our pets were doing well and sent pictures also. We returned from our trip to a lovely clean house and a tidy garden and some very chilled cats. Sue also took great care of our 6 chooks. We would not hesitate to ask Sue to housesit again for us and would highly ... MORE
 
BECCA (Maleny QLD, Oct 2021 - 3 weeks)
Thanks Bec and Tina, it was such a pleasure to stay and sit for you. Hope you have an opportunity to get away again soon :)
Sue has looked after our company loving 10 year old dog with amazing care and compassion for over 10 weeks. We have had weekly updates and photos which were incredibly reassuring, especially as we had to head off a few days earlier than planned. The house and garden look terrific and we couldn't be happier with the service Sue has provided. I can only offer the highest recommendation possible for anyone in need of a house sit, especially if your beloved pets need company too.
 
GAIL (Oxenford QLD, Jul 2021 - 10+ weeks - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Thanks Gail, I miss Soda already and hope to sit for you again in the future if the opportunity arises. Loved my time in your beautiful home x
Sue was very suited to our request for our housesit. On arrival Sue allowed our Irish Wolfhound cross, Pepper, to get to know her. Pepper was a rescue dog we had only had for six weeks. Within 24 hours they were great mates. Sue cared and kept the house immaculate, given the rain, dog bath and paw prints trotted inside. The chickens were well cared for and plants watered as requested. Sue is very conversant with dogs and greeted us with dinner on arrival home. A very pleasant and ... MORE
 
JOHN & MARGIE (Mount Hallen QLD, Jan 2021 - 1 week 1 day)
Sue looked after our home and pets for a few weeks. She did a wonderful job, our home was left spotless. Our pets were very well cared for. There was plenty of communication/updates throughout the sit (because we like that). I would be happy to recommend Sue to anyone looking for a responsible caring house sitter. Mark
 
MARK (Alexandra Hills QLD, Dec 2020 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Sue is an absolute delight. The house was immaculate when we returned and our cat was extremely well looked after. I would have no hesitation in having Sue look after our place in the future. Sue looked after our pool during the recent storms, which is difficult for us to do. We came back to a sparkling pool. Well done.
 
STUART (Thornlands QLD, Dec 2020 - 2 weeks)
Thanks Stuart and Jane, I loved every minute of being at your home and looking after everything. Hope to do it again some time, it truly was magical.
