70, Happily Retired
70's, Happily Retired
We are a quiet, (Covid VACC'D x4) retired couple (NON-SMOKERS) previously having sold our small B&B in the Southwest of WA, and have now established a career as Housesitters (well, not new as we'd done it before) and settled south of Mandurah. Ken an ex truckie and Fran an ex nurse manager. We are still housesitting around country areas (WA - SOUTHWEST Only) but will look at further afield again later, more in FNQ and Cairns region, rainforest and Hinterland.
Over the years we've had both dogs and cats. Fran bred and showed pedigree Persians for 30 years, and since Housesitting have had plenty more experience looking after Rag Dolls, a particularly loveable breed of cat. Being an ex-nurse & a breeder of Persians has given me a world of experience in being very clued-in to knowing if the animal isn't well. Also very adept giving medications and grooming longhaired animals. We currently have 2 pedigree cats (Inside only) - an Exotic and a Persian. But if you prefer that we don't bring them, then that's fine as we have friends who Sit for us as well if needed.
So far we've had exceptional reviews -most here but other private ones in the system.
Being previous B&B owners, we have an eye for detail and are very clean and tidy. Our previous property was rural on acreage so Ken is very 'au fait' with all things in that area (rainwater tanks, pumps, etc) and is a bit of a handyman too. He can fix most things (maybe he shoulda been called Bob??)
We've been "Sitting" our way round Oz. We love all parts of Australia but especially the Hinterland of Qld, rainforest & forest areas. We've had a great time exploring but are now back in our home state of WA and Covid free.
Please note we travel in our car and do NOT have a caravan so will need accommodation in your property
We are available VARIOUS 2024 (book ahead) and do not do Sits under 2wks where possible so we can settle in, get to know your pets well and also the area.
Please feel free to read our Reviews. We have a Private one as well as on another site.
Give us a call - we're waiting for you!!
Fran & Ken
