Howard 2

71, Retired

Hi.

My name is Howard and I live in Brisbane. I retired several years ago and with the freedom and spare time I now have I've decided to combine two of my favourite activities - Travelling and pet care.

I have wanted my own pet from the time my family had a pet dog when I was young. However, working life wasn't conducive to good pet care. Now with my new freedom I'm looking forward to the challenges and rewards of pet ownership. I consider myself to be caring and responsible

I love animals and recently cared for my sister's pet dog for a week while she was in hospital. It didn't take long for us to bond and enjoy each other's company. I look after other people's pets as though they were my own.

I took on a a pet rescue cat several years ago and my neighbours look after him when I'm away. He knows them well and visits their flat when I am out during the day.

Luca, a domestic, short hair cat has become my best friend.

I consider myself to be reliable and trustworthy. I am a non smoker, live a healthy lifestyle and am extremely security conscious.

Howard took wonderful care of my cat, and left the house clean and tidy.

Howard quickly bonded with our cat Annie and looked after her with great care and affection. He sent regular updates and our home was in very good hands. Thank you Howard.

Howard looked after our cat Sookie with love and kindness. He is an excellent communicator and sent us pictures and videos while we were away. We returned to a tidy house and a happy cat. I recommend Howard without hesitation.

I would love to have Howard come back as Buddy was best friends with Howard. Howard sent some lovely photos of their debentures together and my neighbours also had some lovely chats with Howard. He left the place clean and tidy and that's a big plus after a long journey home.

While my partner and I were away on holiday, Howard took care of both our apartment and cat Jaffa just as we would have ourselves. He stayed in contact prior to arrival and while we were away he sent pictures and updates just as I'd hoped. Our apartment was neat and tidy just as we'd left it. It was also obvious to us when we got home that Jaffa was in good spirits and had been well taken care of. We would absolutely recommend Howard to anyone and would also love to have him back if schedules ... MORE

Howard looked after my 18 year old deaf mini foxy x Patsy and 5 rescue cats for 3 1/2 weeks over the Christmas break. He did a fantastic job and Patsy looked for him after he had gone. Excellent communication keeping me up to date with my babies, he looked after my garden, and followed my instructions for petcare. Howard is a nice man who has a way with animals. Highly recommend.
