47, Teacher

We are currently travelling around Australia for a few years and looking to housesit occasionally. We love dogs which is why we are travelling with our lazy 7 year old female yellow Labrador.
We are looking to do a housesit once a year whilst we stop and one of us works from home for a few months around July/August/September (these dates are quite flexible). Our work is online so we would be home most of the time.
We are fine to look after multiple animals including large dogs.
We are very capable in the garden but I'd say we love pets more than we like gardening. Gardening is not something we like to spend big hours doing but we used to have a few acres in Yallingup so we have plenty of experience with ride on mowers, bores, header tanks, and large scale irrigation set ups. Obviously we look after our own garden at home too, including fish ponds, lawns and retic.
We have a bit of experience looking after pools as one of our rental properties has a pool, but I wouldn't say we know a lot about maintaining a pool.
I'm not sure what else there is to say. We are fairly relaxed people so if there is anything else you want to know, don't hesitate to ask.

We are non smokers
The photos attached are of us with;
*Lotte - male chocolate Lab who passed away in July 2022
*Maui - 7 year old female yellow Lab. She is travelling with us.
*Elton - 10 year old black long haired Retriever that we (Maui, Mel and Dan) looked after in 2022
*Oscar - a 12 year old black lab that we (Maui, Mel and Dan) looked after in 2023

I cannot rate Mel and Dan highly enough. Their care of my 12 year old Labrador Oscar was exemplary. After 3 months away I came back to a happy, healthy and well-loved pup who I have no doubt misses them and their own lovely pup Maui, very much. My house and garden were immaculate; they even picked me up from the airport bus. Communication was clear and frequent with many pics and videos of Oscar throughout my time away which greatly eased my mind about having left him for so long. ... MORE

Mel and Dan were the perfect dogsitters! They took such great care of our boy Elton, daily walks and snugs and their lab Maui is just gorgeous - Elton loved having a sister for a couple of days. Our house was left spotless and clean and would love them to take care of Elton again - highly recommend!
