JJ

67, Semi-Retired

Honest, responsible and reliable, I will look after your home and pets with great love and with the best care. I am keen to enjoy your lifestyle and home, but will always treat your home with respect.
I enjoy travel, being part of different communities and exploring new places, but I am equally happy to settle into a temporary home and enjoy the new surroundings.
I am actually quite a "homebody", usually described as hardworking and fairly practical, (so hopefully can manage most basic jobs and routines for your household). Happy to mow, garden, keep the house clean and tidy, walk dogs, etc etc. Also, I don't panic if there is a minor glitch; just work it out and make sure everything is ok. Also keep you updated throughout the house-sit period.
I now have more time available for housesitting after a very busy professional working life (Teacher, Principal, Counsellor, Local Government). Have also renovated houses, run a nature based tourism business, worked overseas and lived in many different communities.
Please contact me if you want more details.. I am happy to answer any of your questions. Thanks.

No rating Jenny housesat our home in Clifton for a week in February 2018. Jenny was cheerful and confident on her arrival which was good because the handover was rushed. On arrival back home, the house was immaculate and the cat well cared for. We can highly recommend Jenny to housesit your home and look after your pets with care and diligence.

Jenny is an amazing house and pet sitter. Very trustworthy, she looked after our house and dog beautifully. I'd have Jenny back again for another sit if things line up in the future. Thanks Jenny for looking after Frankie!!

Jenny has been fantastic, our pets adorded her and her communication with us was outstanding. Our home was left cleaner and tidier than when we left. Thank you Jenny was a pleasure to meet you and I recommend Jenny to house sit and we would have her here again.

Jenny looked after our home, cat and garden for nearly a month in July 2019. We came back to an absolutely immaculate house and a happy cat. Jenny even took her own initiative in collecting extra firewood as she needed it. I'd certainly highly recommend her as a very reliable house sitter.

We were a little nervous as this was our experience. Jenny left our house spotless, the dogs happy and our garden well cared for. Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to enjoy our time away and the confidence to use a housesitter for our next break. We'll keep your number Jenny! P.S the fresh milk in the fridge on our arrival home and the followup contact were lovely.

No rating I was away for a week and I got friendly updates from Jenny about my pet dog and her stay. When I returned my house was spotless (better than how I left it!) and tidy. I would recommend Jenny to house/pet sit to anyone thinking of travelling.

No rating Jenny did a great job looking after our house, cat and garden. It was great to arrive home from a 24 hour flight to fresh milk and bread in the fridge and the house looked fabulously clean. Thanks!

No rating Hi, We were away for 3 weeks overseas and Jenny looked after our home and our dog Ruby whilst we were away. Ruby loved Jenny and Jenny loved Ruby. They enjoyed daily walks together and each other's company. The house was spotless, Jenny kept us up to date with regular bulletins whilst we were travelling and we could not recommend Jenny highly enough. Excellent house and garden sitting!

JENNY & TREVOR (Warwick QLD, Apr 2017 - 4 days)
No rating Hi Jenny House sat and minded two very spoilt pets for me for 5 days in March 2017. She contacted me a couple of times while I was away to reassure me things were fine. When I arrived home both pets and house were i n good order. I would use Jenny again and recommend her for house and pet sitting duties.
JENNY (Tumbi Umbi NSW, Mar 2017 - 1 week 3 days)
No rating Jenny was a great house sitter. She kept me up to date by text so I knew all was well at home. I came home to a spotlessly clean house and well cared for garden, and a very contented cat.
ROSEMARY (Charlestown NSW, Feb 2017 - 2 weeks)
No rating Jenny did a marvellous job of keeping our home fires burning. We came home, our house was squeaky cleaned, gardens maintained and hedges trimmed, gear we had left laying around had been organised and packed away for us. Jenny is competent, friendly, the pets adore her and we would have her back anytime. She left the house better than when she arrived, it was a pleasure to come back to after a month. Thank you Jenny, once we decide when we are heading our again, I'll give you a call to ... MORE
DI (Warwick QLD, Jan 2017)
No rating Jenny felt like part of our family, we had a hiccup (our end) and Jenny just sorted with no issue. Loved having this lady in our home and our home was immaculate when we got back from our holidays - Jenny went truly over and above in looking after our home and taking care of our big old soft dog. Thank you so much Jenny

We so appreciated knowing they were well looked after and the house was immaculate when we returned home with roses from our garden on the table, gorgeous !!! We would love you to come to our home again and are welcome back anytime
SHARON (Stanthorpe QLD, Oct 2016 - 3 and a half weeks)
No rating Jenny was a wonderful house sitter and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She provided us with regular updates and photos of our cats and kept us informed as they became more and more comfortable with her. The house was left spotless on our return and the cats were very happy and relaxed. I will be calling on Jenny again in the future for sure.
