THIS COUPLE IS THE REAL DEAL

We didn't say that about ourselves. One of our TrustedHousesitters.com hosts said it.

We are Kirsty and Lawrie, from Brisbane, Australia.

Kirsty, held senior level positions in the not-for-profit sector. Lawrie is a retired journalist.

We are now indulging in our love of travel and pets. We've been housesitting around the world since June 2018. We've cared for dogs, cats, fish and guinea pigs in Australia, Vietnam, Spain, the UK, Switzerland, Slovakia, France, the Netherlands, the US and Canada.

We are non-drinkers and non-smokers and will respect your home and possessions as we would our own. We are good communicators and are available on FaceTime, WhatsApp and Skype (details on request).

Having owned, rented and cared for numerous properties, apartments and houses, we know how to care for houses, furniture and gardens.

We both grew up with dogs and cats and have had cats most of our adult lives. The most recent pair, Alvin and Henry, came into our lives after finding themselves homeless. The biggest wrench for us when we set off on this adventure was to rehome them, but fortunately they now live with a loving "aunt".

We know that all animals have independent personalities that must be understood and respected if they are to be cared for properly. Usually that involves clean litter, ample and suitable food, plenty of fluids, exercise ... and, most importantly, lots of affection.
