Mature, Active, Loving Professional Housesitter

61, Proffesional Housesitter

Hi, I am a Professional Housesitter based in Newcastle, NSW. I am retired & have been Housesitting for well over 15 years and have extensive experience with all kinds of animals, from Alpacas to Turtles.

I am very active and just love to be around animals, especially dog's. I also enjoy walking, gardening, pool maintenance and general cleaning, to the extent my son calls me a "clean freak".

I specialise in the precious, anxious & Furbabies with medical conditions. I can also provide some basic training requirements, if needed.

I have completed the National Crime History Check, am Covid vaxed and can provide references from my wide range of Clients .

Helen did an awesome job caring for our two dogs and our home. We couldn’t have wished for a more dedicated or professional sitter. One of our dogs had a large cyst on her back which burst while we were away and Helen bathed and medicated it like a pro and sent photos and updates to keep us from worrying. Above and beyond our expectations! Our house and garden have never looked cleaner or more orderly as well! I would certainly recommend Helen to anyone looking for a sincere and genuine person ...

MARGARET (Pokolbin NSW, Jul 2023 - 4 weeks)
Having Helen to housesit was the best decision ever! It was our first experience of housesitting and Helen was professional, friendly and very very helpful. She came to meet me and my needy big dog and there was instant connection between us all. During our trip away, Helen sent us photos and videos of our very happy and spoiled dog. She left our house immaculately clean and tidy. Plants were all in great shape and best of all, our beloved dog had been cared for and loved. Helen was a ... MORE

Helen was a wonderful house sitter, and took the best care of our home and animals. The place was sparkling on our return, we are so grateful for Helen coming to stay.
 
SHAUN (Aberdare NSW, Mar 2023 - 5 days)
Helen is amazing. Once we had been in touch we had a meet and greet and immediately our two dachshunds liked her. She looked after our house and doggies for a two week period, sending updates and photos during that time. When we arrived home, the house was beautifully clean, fresh flowers out of the garden and the dogs super happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Helen!!!

Helen was an absolutely wonderful pet and house sitter. We felt very comfortable with her when we met and confident our fur babies and house would be in capable hands while we were away and we were right. Her communication was great, sending us regular updates and photos . The house was lovely and clean to come home too and the animals were very relaxed and settled. Ziggy is very loving, lively and affectionate and Helen responded to him extremely well giving him lots of attention and love so ... MORE
 
STEPHANIE (North Sydney NSW, Dec 2022 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Helen was absolutely wonderful. Our home was emaculate when we arrived home, super clean and ordered. Our girl was very well looked after and enjoyed her walks. Because it rained there was no need for watering the garden. We would be very happy to have her back for our next trip.
 
DANNY (Hinton NSW, Sep 2022 - 2 weeks 3 days)
Helen did an amazing job looking after our dog, horses and property while we were away for 4 weeks. The animals just loved her and we felt very reassured leaving them in her capable hands. There were plenty of photos and updates while we were away, and the house was immaculate when we got home. We will definitely be requesting Helen to house-sit for us again on our next trip!
 
RENEE (Vacy NSW, Aug 2022 - 4 weeks)
Fabulous, friendly, easy to talk too, all up front and got on great with our two retired, adopted greyhounds. House was spotless, yard great.... Kept us posted on life with Bill and Lucy, and our neighbours really liked Helen. When we go away again, could go feeling very happy and confident that everything is well looked after .... Great first time experience
 
LOUISE AND MAL (Marks Point NSW, May 2022 - 1 week)
Helen is easy to communicate with and kept me informed of how Lexie was going during the short sit. I was totally at ease knowing how much house-sitting experience she has. She took good care of my home and left it spotless and is definately someone who I would be happy to have looking after Lexie again.
 
CYNTHIA (Caves Beach NSW, Apr 2022 - 1 week 2 days)
Helen was an excellent pet and house sitter for us. She clearly loved our dog and cat and provided friendly updates and photos. Communication was great, We returned home to happy pets and a spotless house. Highly recommended.
 
PETER AND SUSAN (The Hill NSW, Apr 2022 - 1 week)

LESLEY (Central Coast NSW, Jan 2022 - 1 week)
Helen you are welcome back, Hubby said house has never been so clean, windows and beer fridge are sparkling. Bruce our dog is missing you. The turkeys chickens, ducks and goats and cows say thank you. Especially our new calf Stephanie you did a great job as midwife.
 
KATHY (Moparrabah NSW, Jan 2022 - 2 weeks)
Oh Thank's guy's, I had an Awsome time with your menagerie & the peace quiet of the countryside. Bruce is a sweetheart & I hope little Stephanie grows up to be as friendly as all your other cow's. I would recommend your property to any other Housesitters but only if I'm not available;)
Helen was a fantastic house an dog sitter.
 
SHELLEY (Bolwarra Heights NSW, Jun 2021 - 1 week)
OMG Helen was amazing. My home was spotlessly clean. The huskies and Popcorn the guinea pig were all happy and healthy. Helen sent photos while on our trip and asked questions to make sure our pets were in their comfort zone. I would highly recommend Helen, that much so, I asked if she could mind our home and pets again for our next trip to Tassie.
 
MICHELLE (WAMBERAL NSW, Jun 2021 - 1 week 2 days)
Thanks for the great review buddy & yes have your Tassie holiday booked in. Can't wait to see the Furbabies again & enjoy that Awsum pool:):)
Helen was a great house sitter who took extra care of our dogs with walks on the beach (which they loved). Helen also went above the line by cleaning the house to an immaculate standard, including cleaning the inside of the fridge and leaving us with some special treats which made our return home very relaxing. If you get a chance to have Helen pet, or house keep you'll be very impressed. We can't wait to have here back.
 
CHRISTOPHER (Corlette NSW, May 2021 - 5 days)
Helen was the house sitter we could only have dreamed of! She was so organised, and communicated with us so well. Our two dogs were so comfortable with her and clearly well looked after. We came home to an absolutely immaculate house, which made returning from a trip with a baby even more easy and calm. We cannot recommend Helen enough if you're after the best house/pet sitter whilst you're away!

Garden Maintenance

Green garden!

Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
