Full-Time Animal Carer & House Sitter

63, Business Coach

EXPERIENCE:
Total of 56 weeks with house pet, farm animal, and garden care.

My Why:
Since recently moving back to Melbourne from Victorian farm-life, I love to care for household pets and farm animals as I am newly single.

24 REVIEWS: (see attachment)
5 house owners invited me back to repeat house-sit.

Work from home:
As I work mostly online and by mobile phone as a company director and coach, I am consistently available to care for the house and animals.

I am energetic, a regular walker, responsible, tidy, clean, love animals, and am actively seeking a house sitting...
For 1 week plus, in Melbourne and country Victoria.
I am a non-smoker.

Happy to talk by phone or visit if that would help you work out if I am the right person to care for your home and animals whilst you are away.

Kind regards,
John

John was fantastic from the onset. He came to the house for a pre-meet before we went away.. John sent me regular texts, photos and videos keeping me updated on how Lela was doing. The house was spotless when we arrived home. I would 100% use John again for dog/house sitting and would highly recommend him 😊 Thanks John 🙏

John is a great sitter! My pets were very well looked after and spoiled. My home was kept clean and safe during his stay! I highly recommend John as I had a great Europe holiday with my family for two months and didn’t have to worry about home and pets in Melbourne 😊👍
 
EREN (Essendon VIC, Jun 2023 - 2 months)
We cannot thank John enough for the care he gave to my two Kelpies, my house and plants. He sent updates regularly and checked in about my dogs weight to make sure they were eating correctly. The house was spotless when we returned and plants happy. Thank you John 😊
 
JODEE (Glenroy VIC, Apr 2023 - 4 weeks)
John looked after our house and dog during our recent trip to Tasmania. He was very organised his approach and preparations for the house sit and asked very perceptive questions in relation to our dog Violet. As a result I felt very confident in leaving her in his care. We arrived home to everything in order and a happy dog. I would be very relaxed in asking John to house sit for us again.
 
CHRISTINE (Footscray VIC, Mar 2023 - 4 weeks)
John looked after our house, garden and 3 dogs for a month and we were delighted with how happy they were on our return. John was easy to communicate with and did everything we asked of him. He clearly loves dogs and that made us feel confident in leaving them for so long. We would definitely ask John for help again.
 
ALEXIS (Mount Macedon VIC, Dec 2022 - 4 weeks)
To John: Wow! Thanks John! You looked after our off-grid hobby farm so well, despite weeks of cloud and bad weather! We can't thank you enough! To owners: Ours wasn't an easy task for John! We messed him around several times with Covid changes! The farm is in the hills and solar powered, and John had to manage through an extraordinary month of unusually heavy cloud and dank weather. He managed the backup generator, wood fire, water tanks, electricity. Nothing would have been easy or ... MORE
 
MICHAEL (Tallarook VIC, Apr 2021 - 2 months)
John was absolutely amazing! His attention to detail on everything was fantastic and our dogs adored him! And best of all, we came home to our house so spotless and clean it was wonderful. We highly recommend John and will definitely be getting him back!
 
BROOKE (Altona Meadows VIC, Mar 2021 - 1 week 5 days)
This was my first time getting an Aussie house sitter,, so a little apprehensive, however it has turned out to be, a very rewarding experience, particularly as I have two very precious dogs. John has been a delight to deal with, very good communication & interpersonal skills which reassured me before he actually came here to sit. Whilst I have been away, he has cared for the dogs wonderfully, sending me photos & messages of them. John has looked after the house, garden & surrounds very well, ... MORE
 
WENDY (Tawonga South VIC, Jul 2020 - 3 months)
I knew straight away when we met John prior to the sit that I trusted him to look after our house and pets. He has a gentle and friendly nature which was confirmed by how comfortable our fur babies were with him. One of our cats who is normally freaked put by new people and change was curling up on the bed with him in no time. John communicated with us regularly and looked after the house so well. It was a pleasure to come home with everything clean and tidy! We highly recommend John!!!
 
LOUISE (Frankston South VIC, Jul 2020 - 1 week)
We had John sit our home and animals for three weeks recently and he was brilliant! He adored our boxer girls and our house location and he was very comfortable in our home. Our dogs were loved, fed and exercised daily and John thoroughly enjoyed his time here. On our arrival back home he had put milk in our fridge for our morning coffee and the house was immaculate. All his bedding was washed and on the line and the boxers were very happy. I highly recommend John as a sitter and lover of ... MORE
 
DALE (Leopold VIC, Feb 2020 - 3 weeks)
An excellent house sitter, who looked after 3 cats and 2 hens expertly and lovingly, and left the house beautifully clean. He also sent regular videos and photos of our animals. He would be my first choice for a house sitter in the future.
 
MARGARETTA (Reservoir VIC, Sep 2019 - 2 weeks 5 days)
We highly recommend John did an excellent job, Took care of the house perfectly and our dog India. Highly recommended
 
GEOFF (The Basin VIC, Jun 2019 - 3 months)
John was a great housesitter. My home was very tidy when I returned . The cats were well looked after, in fact seem to have bloomed in his care. Great regular updates. I would definitely recommend John and welcome him back.
 
MARGARET (Aspendale Gardens VIC, May 2019 - 1 month 2 weeks)
We invited John now for the second time to look after our 2 dogs, 1 cat and the house and I must say it is was an utter delight again. Not only were all animals ecstatic to see him again but we also new that the house will be in very safe hands. This time around JOHN was looking after things for us for over 4 weeks during summer and I cannot praise him enough. On our return not only were all animals in their best shape, physically and more important mentally but even the garden and the house ... MORE
 
OLIVER (Daylesford VIC, Nov 2018 - 1 week 6 days)
This was our first time using a house sitter and we were worried about doing so but John made the experience very pleasant. He made regular contact with us via text while we were away. We came home to a cleaner house than when we left and the animals all seemed happy, the cats almost seemed to miss John our first night back home. Would highly recommend John and would happily use a house sitter again after our first experience
 
PETER & LAUREN (Ballan VIC, Oct 2018 - 2 weeks 2 days)
We were so pleased to have John to care for Balian and Milla (cats) and Sophie (dog) while we were away for six weeks in the UK. He gave us regular updates and it was evident, on our return, that the animals and house had been very well cared for. John stepped into the breach only two weeks before we were to leave, after we had been badly let down by our original sitter, for which we will be eternally grateful, and he proved to be as reliable and professional as we hoped. Many thanks John. ... MORE
