Howard Happy Jack

74, Retired

Professional with MSc. but then did handyman work in Auckland for a number of years, score 9/10 on a TV show called Target (secret filming of tradesmen etc)
Came to Aussie from NZ early 2012 and lived in Kingaroy up to Oct '17.
Did maintenance work on a vineyard for 4 yrs. thne helping out on a farm, local RSPCA volunteer and their photographer.
Will always stop and talk to an animal.
I live in my 15' poptop caravan so I'll always need a place to park it, preferably connected to mains for the fridge. When house/pet/farm sitting I don't mind, actually prefer. living in my caravan rather than your house, whichever you suits you best.

I can't have an animal with me as I want to be able to stay in National Parks ( a wombat or quokka would be good), so have to get my dose from others pets being the prime reason.
Volunteer for 5 yrs with RSPCA, have house sat for dogs ( up to 6 at a time), cats, chooks ( including show ones) ,a small flock of 20 damara sheep, cows/cattle, a few horses.
Worked part-time on dairy farms in NZ.

Power, water helpful maybe internet is just a bonus, although I do have wfi internet of my own.
Rural/semi-rural preferred. A nearby beach/lake/river would be nice too.
As I am living "on the road" dates are flexible, so if you interested in my services, please contact me to look at dates.
I also have Police Clearance and references available

you can view some of my photos - Please contact me for the link.
And I've been to Betoota, and the real Black Stump!

KATRINA & CRAIG (Bells Beach VIC, Aug 2023 - 2 months)
Howard is a funny character. I kept us well informed over the well being of our animals. It would be fair to say that his nickname is" THE ANIMAL WHISPERER " . All our animals loved Howard. A+ for communication A+ for love and care for animals Thanks Howard

Howard did a wonderful job looking after our animals. He is a natural with all species of animals. He is a friendly, sociable gentleman, with many yarns to entertain. It was a pleasure having him caretaker for us

No rating Howard looked after our Staffie wonderfully. He kept us posted on her antics and was a good communicator. Howard is a character with a huge heart.
