49, Carer of the Land and of Animals (Organic Market Garden Farmer)
Hi, I am passionate about the land, animals, places and people and love to travel. Originally from Victoria (many years ago) I have lived in three states, travelled extensively overseas and more often than not have lived close to nature and on the land.
I grew up with cats, dogs, ducks and chickens, baby pigs and even turtles and a baby lamb. My extended family had cattle and large acres, so I was more or less born into a close relationship with domestic and farm animals and the land.
Having travelled to 40 countries, having lived in the UK, Sweden, Ireland, Bali, and America, I have also explored much of Australia, which I love doing nowadays doing house and animal sitting. While the hay-days of my organic farming, property maintenance, farm management and looking after high-end property gardens are over, I still have two green thumbs and a deep-routed love for all animals.
Currently, I am available for housesitting / petsitting between the Sunshine Coast and right along the East Coast and all the way down to Sydney.
I am a mature single (house-trained) non-smoker, non-drinker, who treats my sits like I would my own home and animals, I am responsible, caring and pay attention to detail. I am reliable, and trustworthy and have looked after all sorts of properties and gardens from a small townhouse with a courtyard to a large mansion with an extensive estate, from a suburban home to a large farm...
I lead a quite life, work online, am not the party-type and am content looking after your fur-family (or other pets), loving them up while you are away, and caring for your gardens, pot plants, home and grounds as if it were my own.
If you have additional need for maintenance, green-keeping or the like - I am always open to this (over 30 years experience) - rates to be discussed.
I am pretty flexible around times, length of stay and where I do sits as I work independently (wifi dependent) and other than occasional flights to Melbourne to see my elderly parents, am largely available to keep exploring more places along the Eastern seaboard and a few hours inland - caring for your animals and home.
Please reach out to me - even at short notice (you never know) - I am also doing house sits through other sites and privately - references available on request.
I look forward to hearing from you soon and to give you peace of mind around your home and pets while you are away.
Thank you - Scott.
