49, Enrolled Nurse/disability support worker/ Counsellor

I am a female mature aged Enrolled Nurse & Disability Support Worker within the community setting. I am responsible, respectful, caring to all animals, clean & tidy .

I'm a non smoker. I don't have house parties !!
Phone referees contact numbers available upon request. Prior to joining the Aussie website I was housesitting for friends/ family members over a year.
Note: I also commit to private house/pet sit jobs through other networking sources & have regular private clients. These clients are not registered with this Aussie Website therefore cannot add their reviews.
I enjoy caring for animals & dog walking. Confident with bathing dogs, medication administration & any vet appointments required.
My former job was a professional house cleaner with high standards. I am willing to do basic garden duties such as watering & have experience maintaining pools and spas .I have a vehicle licence & car. I have been housesitting for over 11 1/2 years in Australia & 2 years in the UK.

Mardi is a fantastic house sitter. Communication was excellent throughout our 5 week holiday. She looked after our 2 cats really well and even though one of them gave her a hard time disappearing, Mardi kept her cool. The house, garden and pool were all well maintained. Mardi is a delightful person and we highly recommend her to look after your home and pets.
 
CHRISTINE (Vista SA, Jun 2023 - 5 weeks)

EDNA (Burnside SA, Jan 2024 - 1 week)
Thanks for the appreciation Edna . You made my stay with the girls really pleasant πŸ™
Mardi was the perfect fit for our house stay in October while we were away for our wedding in Palm Cove, Qld. Before we locked her in, she took the time to come by and meet our cat, Sabi and meet us which helped to put us at ease from the start. She had a beautiful personality and we immediately knew she was the right fit. She was fantastic with communication throughout our time away and it felt amazing to feel that our little kitty and apartment was being so well cared for. When we ... MORE
 
LOUISE (Hindmarsh SA, Oct 2023 - 10 days)

Mardi did a great job of looking after our house - all was spotless on our return. Was very reliable and trustworthy
 
NANCY (Mile End SA, Jul 2023 - 5 weeks)
Mardi is a kind and compassionate house-sitter. We'd just lost Layla unexpectedly, so Bonnie and I were grieving this loss and the heartbreak that comes with losing a pet. Mardi ensured that Bonnie received extra love and support at this time, along with providing text updates with images and video. These brought a great deal of comfort to me. I highly recommend Mardi to care for your fur kids and home whilst away. Bonnie is looking forward to her returning in October whilst I'm overseas. Thank ... MORE
 
KYLIE (Adelaide SA, Jul 2023 - 2 weeks 2 days)
We are very pleased that we found Mardi as our housesitter. During our almost 7-week period away, Mardi regularly communicated with us, updating, reporting, and checking up on any necessary matters regarding our house and garden. Her communication was prompt, clear, and direct. We felt at ease and were able to fully enjoy our trip as a result. Upon returning home, we found the house clean and tidy. Our letters were collected from the letter box and stored safely. The garden and all the pot ... MORE
 
HANH (Noarlunga Downs SA, May 2023 - Almost 7 weeks)
mardi was brilliant. i would be very fortunate to have her house sit in the furure, if needed.
 
DONNA (Exeter SA, Apr 2023 - 2 days)
Mardi provided excellent and professional care of both our home and our elderly pet. We would not hesitate to recommend Mardi to anyone looking for an organised and caring sitter. Thanks again for providing such excellent care and peace of mind for us, Mardi!
 
JESSICA (Fairview Park SA, Apr 2023 - 9 days)
We come home to a very tidy and a clean house plus a happy dog and all the plants were still alive as well.
 
KEVIN (Alberton SA, Mar 2023 - 6 weeks)
From beginning to end Mardi gave me complete peace of mind that my cat was being looked after in the manner to which he is accustomed! It was an absolutely stress free experience... I went away without worrying about him, and he stayed in his own environment. Mardi was fantastic!
 
SHELLEY (Goolwa SA, Feb 2023 - 20 Days)
Mardi, Took excellent care of our cat Phoebe, house and garden while we were away. She communicated with us before and while we were away sending us photos of Phoebe and the garden to reassure us all was well. We arrived back to an immaculate house, plants all still alive after a couple of very hot days and a totally unstressed cat...although she was pretty pleased to see us. We have no hesitation it recommending Mardi to look after your home or pets.
 
JOANNE (Queenstown SA, Dec 2022 - 2 weeks)
Mardi did a great job looking after Lilly and the house/ garden.
 
KATE (Mount Barker SA, Dec 2022 - 6 days)

PHOEBE (Goldsborough QLD, Oct 2022 - 9 days)
Mardi is an amazing house sitter, she looked after our house and senior dog and made us feel so relaxed during our trip. It was our first time using a house sitter and she made the process so smooth, Mardi came to our house prior to the sit to meet our dog and ensure everything went well. Communication was excellent, we got pictures and videos and always a quick reply to sms. Our house was immaculate when we got back and to see our dog relaxed and happy is a feeling every pet owner wants. I ... MORE
 
JAMIE (Bentley Park QLD, Sep 2022 - 1 Week)
Mardi is a beautiful character we were happy to share our home with. Freya our fur baby instantly connected upon our meet and greet. I couldn't fault the house sitting, communicating was perfect whilst we were away giving us comfort to know all was well at home. She went above and beyond even stripping / cleaning / remaking the bed for us (much appreciated upon our return) and leaving the house in a cleaner state that when she arrived. Would absolutely recommend.
 
JANNAH (Goldsborough QLD, Sep 2022 - 2 days)
We are delighted to have had Mardi sit for us. Excellent communication. Mardi obviously values our wishes and expectations as she followed every request wonderfully. We came home to a lovely clean home and happy dog. Photos and messages of how things at home were going was great for my separation anxiety. Garden cared for wonderfully aswell. Highly recommend and have requested Mardi for another housesit soon.
 
KIRSTY (Bungalow QLD, Sep 2022 - 4 days)
Thanks for the kind words. Kirsty & Rob . Wanu is a special boy Looking forward to returning. :-D
Mardi absolutely blew my mind with every step of the process. She was so friendly, approachable and made me feel so comfortable for my first time getting a house sitter. My cats were looked after so well (and possibly sad I came home). The house was spotless on my return she mopped, vacced and washed the linen. Everything was well looked after and I can't wait to have Mardi sit for me again. Mardi gave me regular updates including photos of my boys which put my mind at ease and left me ... MORE

PIP (Speewah QLD, Jun 2022 - 2 weeks 6 days)
Marli did a great job looking after my house and my 2 fur babies. Lily my Dachshund took to her straight away and I was confident that they would be fine. I was posted photos of them while away, and came back to a clean tidy house and 2 happy fur babies. I would have no problem recommending Mardi as a house sitter, and would be happy for her to house sit for us again.
 
JENNIFER (Brinsmead QLD, Jun 2022 - 4 days)
It was a pleasure to have Mardi live in our house, taking care of the cat and the plants. This is the first time we have ever had someone house and pet sit for us but Mardi maintained a good line of communication with us from the start which helped put our mind at ease! We returned to the house pleased that it was in tip top shape, with barely any speck of dust (or fur) on surfaces and that things were just as we left it! She even folded the laundry we left out drying and washed the linens ... MORE
 
GERARDINE (North Melbourne VIC, Apr 2022 - 3 weeks)
Mardi was an excellent house sitter for our little puppy. She is friendly and kind and her communication was excellent. Our pet had plenty of walks and dog park visits, and the house was left clean and tidy. She was also very punctual and kept us updated on daily pet activities. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mardi to others for future house sits. Thanks Mardi!
 
MICHELLE (Wright ACT, Mar 2022 - 4 nights)

Highest recommendations!
 
GUIDO (Chelsea VIC, Aug 2019 - 8 weeks - 1 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Thank you Mardi! Mardi was a no brainer for us from the day we met her. We could tell she shared the love and care in her heart for our little Ziggy as we do. We were always in communication about how she was doing, along with pictures of the two bonding and enjoying each other's company. I knew if I needed to contact Mardi, to see how things were going and to check in, she would respond promptly. Not only was she great with Ziggy, she also looked after the apartment to a high standard. We ... MORE

Mardi was great. Excellent communication and the place was spotless. Our cat was in great condition when we got back and Mardi was able to administer some meds that are quite tricky to her.
 
ADAM (Brunswick VIC, Jul 2019 - 2 weeks)
Mardi was lovely to talk to when we first contacted her and we felt confident she was right for looking after our pet cat and goldfish and the house. She made the effort to meet us before we left to get to know the place and texted us regularly with updates on the animals while we were away. We returned to happy well fed animals and a lovely clean and tidy house and garden.
 
MIGNONNE (Box Hill South VIC, May 2019 - Six weeks)
Mardi looked after our house and our cat for one week, and we are more than happy to give her the strongest recommendations. She took perfect care of our house, and our cat looked happy and relaxed when we returned. This was our first house sit, but her experience, and her friendly and open character immediately made us feel comfortable. We already look forward to having her house sit with us again the next time we're away.
 
GUIDO (Chelsea VIC, Apr 2019 - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
We can not recommend Mardi highly enough. She took fantastic care of our house and our cat for the 5 weeks she was housesitting for us. Mardi's communication prior to the housesitting was great and she checked in with us regularly throughout our holiday with updates on our Cat. The house was left extremely clean when we arrived home. We highly recommend Mardi.

VICTORIA (Adelaide SA, Dec 2018 - 3 weeks)
Mardi took on a long-term (15 month) housesit for us while we were living overseas - we were nervous as this was our first housesit but she was very reassuring and professional.
