From Pot Plants to Parks

67, Retired

Hi :-)

I am Peter, an empty-nester, 67 years old and single. I am a non-smoker.

I have successfully performed many roles including a 'stay at home' Dad for 3 children, conducting a part-time yard maintenance business, full time study and worked in customer service positions for over 30 years.

I am a happy person, open-minded and a good communicator. I am retired and find house sitting very satisfying as I get to meet new and interesting people, enjoy their vast range of pets, and their locale.

I have Horticulture qualifications and experience. Couple this with my green-keeping trade skills and it makes me confident to handle sitting for people who have any size properties. From pot plants to parks.

If you have pets, then you can feel secure in the knowledge that I will care for them until you return. I am familiar with most popular pets. Ant Farms to Hobby Farms. I am happy to keep you up to date with emails and photos of your precious little ones, if you desire this.

I am based in Hervey Bay and happy to travel to Northern New South Wales. I have a reliable car. As I wish to specialise in the northern NSW coast and hinterland, I am approachable for last minute cancellations ......subject to my current bookings and travel. I prefer stays over 2weeks and up to 3 months, but once again I can be flexible depending on the property.

Happy to chat if you would like to ask further.

Peter proved to be a wonderful housesitter. We came home to find both our house and surroundings very well cared for. Peter not only attended to those things we'd specfically asked him to do, but also took the initiative to do extra work in the garden. He listened attentively to our explanations regarding garden/pool maintenance and machinery etc and did a wonderful job maintaining this large area. I believe our home was actually cleaner upon our arrival home that when we left on our holiday, ... MORE

Peter is a reliable housesitter and has looked after our home on two occasions. We would highly recommend him to other home-owners looking for a housesitter. He kept us informed with mail and our home was left in the same tidy and clean condition we left it in.

Browse no further you've found the best house sitter and pet minder that there is hands down. Peter is wonderful he is extremely professional, very personable, kind and gentle. He will take care of your beloved furry children as if they were his own. You will be impressed with Peters prompt, efficient and relaxed communication style. Our little French Bulldog and Russian Blue cat were taken with Peter from the very get go and how wonderful it was for us to return from a relaxing break with ... MORE
 
LOUISE (CHITTAWAY BAY NSW, Oct 2018 - 2 weeks 1 day)
No rating We went overseas for 5 weeks, leaving Peter with our two very over spoilt French Bulldogs, that we have never left previously with anyone. On our return we found our home, lawns & garden in same immaculate condition we left them in. Also a a beautiful arrangement of flowers to greet me on the bench. Our 2 pets which we were ecstatic to see, were quite disappointed, (in my opinion ) that we had returned. They were happy, healthy & extremely well cared for & loved in our absence. Peter fitted ...

No rating Peter was a delight to have as a house sitter. He was at our place for 3.5 weeks and looked after our garden, even repotting plants and weeding. He was in touch regularly by email and left the house spotless, including leaving us flowers and some essential food items which was most appreciated after a long trip home. We would highly recommend Peter.
FRED AND SUE (South Golden Beach NSW, Sep 2017 - 3 weeks)
No rating Peter looked after our home and three indoor cats for three weeks in February 2018.We were able to be away feeling secure about our home and fur babies being assured, whenever we rang, that all was well. On our return all was as expected. Thanks, Peter!
KATIE AND IAN (Springbrook QLD, Jul 2017 - 2 weeks 1 day)
No rating We were lucky enough to secure Peter as a house sitter during one of the rare occasions that he wasn't booked out. He stayed on our rural property with our dog and 2 cats. He proved to be a thoughtful and efficient sitter and I was more than pleased with the service he provided. We came home to happy animals, a spotless house and the lawns and gardens mowed and cared for. Peter is an honest and easy going person and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering him for a house it in the ... MORE
KALLY (Lower Dyraaba NSW, Jan 2017 - 2 weeks 3 days)
No rating Peter looked after our dog Harri and our house from the end of November for approx 6 weeks. We couldn't have asked for a better companion for Harri, he was very well looked after. Our house was also cared for and we came home to a clean house and veggies planted in our garden. Peter kept us up to date on everything that was happening at home. He sent pictures of Harri to our girls showing us the activities they were doing. We would absolutely recommend Peter and would have no hesitation on ... MORE
KAREN AND CLIVE (Hervey Bay QLD, Nov 2016 - 1 month 2 weeks)

No rating I left Peter in charge of my home and my cat and came home to a fantastically clean house and a very happy Milly cat. I can happily recommend Peter as an excellent Aussie House Sitter.
JUDY GALE (Coorparoo QLD, Mar 2016 - 1 week 3 days)
No rating Peter is a thoughtful house- sitter that I would recommend to anyone. He took great care of my garden, pets with my house clean and lovely to come home to. Washing done as well, what a bargain!!! He even had some food in the fridge which was unexpected. Thank you Peter and hope you can come back again. GP's said thanks too!!!
