MargieNow

67, Retired Clerical/Sales

I am a single house/pet sitter with a variety of experience in both short and long term positions.
This role I have been enjoying for 10 years now, sits ranging from a 15 month sit caring for 1 dog, 3 months house-sit caring for 1 pomeranium, 7 weeks caring for 2 cats, or a short term of just a long weekend.
I am respectful of your home and contents, a non-smoker, non-drinker, I enjoy gardening, walking and reading.
I was raised in the country and have cared for a wide variety of animals and pets.
I am just as comfortable in city and suburbs with indoor pets.
I have endorsements and references on this site and several contacts of people I have done house and pet sitting for who are willing to speak on my behalf.
I have a Police check also. Please feel free to contact me for more information regarding my experience and references.
Regards Margaret.

Preferred Location, Gold Coast, Northern NSW.

Margaret is a very thoughtful and trustworthy house sitter. When we returned our house was spotless and our dog was very healthy and happy. She obviously cared for our house and dog a lot. She provided many updates and photos for us during our trip. Happy to recommend Margaret.
 
ROBYN (East Ballina NSW, Dec 2018 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Margaret did a great job looking after our cat, and also our dog with short notice. She kept us updated on how things were going, and I came home to a house that I think was cleaner than when I left! Would welcome Margaret for future housesits and would recommend to others.
 
CHERYL (Mermaid Waters QLD, Apr 2024 - 3 nights)
Margaret, was absolutely delightful. She took wonderful care of my dog and cat and was very easy to communicate with. I would be very happy for Margaret to sit for me again.
 
LEAH (Keerrong NSW, Mar 2024 - 2 nights)
Margaret cared for our home and 2 small dogs while O/S for 10 days. Absolutely fantastic! Marg is very capable and knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable in leaving the place and pets with her right from our first meeting. On return, couldn't have been happier..... perfect sit with happy and healthy pets and house beautifully presented! Communication great and easy to work with. Highly, highly recommended and won't hesitate to invite Marg for next sit with us! Thank you Marg!
 
PAUL (Kyogle NSW NSW, Mar 2024 - 4 nights)
Margaret was a pleasure to deal with from the start. Very experienced house sitter, and it showed. She was able to quickly grasp how my house and pets were to be cared for, and what systems were in place. The house was spotless on my return, and most importantly, my greyhound was well looked after - happy and relaxed. I would recommend Margaret to any potential house host.
 
CLAIRE (Casino NSW, Jan 2024 - 2 weeks)
Margaret was amazing from the get go! From first communication and confirmation to getting together before our departure everything was smooth :). We arrived home to an immaculate house and very happy contented pets. Couldn't rate Margaret high enough, Highly recommended! Thank you so much Margaret.
 
CHRISTINA (East Lismore NSW, May 2023 - 2 weeks 4 days)
We were very lucky to find Margaret to care for our home and animals. Margaret is very friendly, easy to communicate with and took the time to find out what we needed. Pets were happy, house was well kept and we were thankful. Would not hesitate to recommend Margaret or to book her again.
 
EMILY & ROBBIE (Lismore Heights NSW, Apr 2023 - 4 days)

ANNE (Lismore Heights NSW, Jan 2023 - 4 weeks)
Margie was a wonderful house sitter. Her communication was clear and prompt and she showed real consideration for our requirements, particularly in regards to caring for our Cavoodle. I would definitely invite Margie back should we need a sitter again.

Margaret was a great house sitter. She kept the house clean and tidy and looked after our two dogs. We would certainly recommend Margaret
 
KEVIN (CANIABA NSW, Aug 2021 - 3 weeks)
Margaret did a great job of looking after our boy Jack while we were away. The dates of the sit was changed at the last minute due to all the covid restrictions and the possibility of border closures. Margaret was very accommodating with all the changes. House was left very clean and tidy. I would recommend Margaret to anybody looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
 
GLENDA (Goonellabah NSW, Jul 2021 - 1 week 6 days)
We had planned a 2 week excursion into NSW and Sydney but we cancelled all bookings 2 days prior. Thankfully we did as Sydney is now locked down. We had arranged for Margaret to house sit and from the very first contact we had with her we knew she was exceptional and perfect for our needs. Margaret is without doubt one of the best house sitters you could ever wish for. Her communication, consideration and ability to go over and above expectations is amazing. After cancelling our initial trip ... MORE
 
PATRICK (Shailer Park QLD, Jun 2021 - 3 Days)
Our puppy Minnie was in excellent hands on her first weekend without Mum and Dad. We missed her more than she missed us. We came home to a happy pup and a clean and tidy home, Margaret had even washed and hung out her bed linen. Would recommend Margaret
 
SUE (Brunswick Heads NSW, Jun 2021 - 3)
We cant recommend Margaret highly enough! She took amazing care of our home and pets for almost a month. The house was spotless on our return and our 2 cats were very well cared for. Margaret went above and beyond with absolutely everything. The garden was looked after beautifully. Margaret is such a lovely, caring and honest lady and we will definitely be happy to give a reference for her. Thanks for everything Margaret. We are very happy met you
 
ALISON AND GARRY (North Casino NSW, Apr 2021 - 30 days)
Thanks Gary & Alison for your kind review. You are such a sweet couple, it was great you could get away. I loved your home & location, it was a pleasure to sit for you and the cats are easy to care for. The garden is a delight & a perfect location to view the night sky especially for the full moon. ... MORE
Margaret was such a wonderful house sitter who exceeded our expectations. Our home is so clean, the pets are happy and we had no stress on our holiday. Margaret's communication with us was impeccable before, during and after the sit. I really enjoyed meeting Margaret and having a chat, she is a friendly soul and made me feel very comfortable leaving our home and pets in her care. Margaret came fully equipped right down to her own sheets!! We would very much welcome Margaret into our home ... MORE
 
REBECCA (Westlake QLD, Jan 2021 - 5 days)
It was lovely meeting Margaret before the house sit and I felt very comfortable leaving the house and pets in her capable care. Communication was easy and Margaret also dealt calmly with a blackout while we were away. The cats and goat were relaxed and happy when we returned and the house was spotless. I would highly recommend Margaret for any house sitting position and am looking forward to her house sitting for us again in the future. Thanks so much Margaret, we hope to see you again soon x
 
GABBY (Caniaba NSW, Dec 2020 - 3 days)
Margaret communicated really well with us from the very beginning. Our chickens and dogs were well looked after and the house was left sparkling clean on our return. Very happy to recommend Margaret to others looking for an honest and reliable house sitter.
 
ALISON (Lennox Head NSW, Dec 2019 - 6 days)
Margaret was a great house sitter. It was so good to know that our pets and house were well looked after while we were away - and that Margaret also enjoyed the stay. Highly recommended.
 
ADAM (Tintenbar NSW, Dec 2019 - 2 weeks 1 day)
No rating Marg is a great sitter. Dexter became very attached to her, and thrived under her care. She is professional, taking care of timely contact, keeping you updated, and looking after the property. I would be happy to have her back some time.
CATHY (Girards Hill NSW, Jul 2018 - 1 month 1 week)
No rating Arrived home to 2 very pups indeed, they appeared to have had a fantastic time whilst we were away and house was beautifully clean. Thank you Margaret for looking after everything so well
KAREN (Benowa QLD, Sep 2016 - 3 weeks)
No rating We arrived home to a very happy dog and a spotless house! Thank you Margaret!! Just a phone call gave me enough confidence to book Margaret to look after our German Shepherd and home while we were away. Margaret bonded immediately with our dog which was a great relief and we would have no hesitation to ask Margaret to come back. Just wish she was available for our next trip!
CAROLINE (Carindale QLD, Apr 2016 - 1 month 2 weeks)
No rating We were lucky enough to have Margaret come and house sit for us and look after our dog Rosie on two occasions. Firstly over Christmas 2015 and then again for a week in January 2016. Both times Margaret was very reliable, easy to communicate with, cared for Rosie beautifully and left our house in spotless condition. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Margaret for a future house sit and hopefully we'll get here back to our place at some point!
ALISON (Coorparoo QLD, Dec 2015 - 1 week 5 days)
No rating Margaret was our house and pet sitter for our two dogs and one cat for ten days. Our house and pets were very will cared for and our specific needs for the care of our house and pets were well attended to. One of our dogs required daily medication while we were away and Margaret had no hesitation to administer this. It was great that Margaret kept in contact with us about how things were going and how we like things done eg. our routine for bathing the dogs. Upon returning, our house was ... MORE
