Angelica Dowler & Sascha Kelly-Russell

If you are looking for experienced, tender loving care for your most sacred and cherished home, garden and much loved pets, Sascha and Angelica are excited to fulfill all needs to allow you a relaxing time away.

Sascha and Angelica are experienced house sitters and are more than happy to provide positive references from previous sits.

Angelica is currently studying a Masters of Social Work (Online) at Charles Sturt University. In addition, she also runs her own eco-friendly cleaning business called Releaf Eco Cleaning - she has a keen eye for detail when it comes to keeping a house tidy and homely!
Angelica loves to dance, sing, heal, grow, learn, and read.

Sascha recently graduated from his Science/Chemistry Undergrad at the University of Melbourne. He is now taking a gap year before pursuing a Doctor of Medicine, with aims to specialise in Psychiatry. Whilst he's looking for relevent work within the scientific field, he also participates in Releaf Eco Services, offering both gardening and home cleaning (so your plants will be well looked after!). He spends his time turning lawns into food forests, vegetables into medicinal meals, and books into newfound wisdom. He likes to think of himself as a custodian of the land on which he walks, and every moment is trying to better himself or the environment around him.

Together we enjoy gardening, growing our own food, dancing, creating, traveling and immersing ourselves in culture. We have just spent the last 3 years focussing on Sascha's completion of his undergrad, so we've been sedantary for some time, and keen to explore and get our feet on the earth again.

We have lots of experience with animals, cats, dogs, chickens, guinea pigs, and Sascha grew up around other farm animals and is quite resourceful when it comes to learning new things. In 2019 we spent many weeks working on farms and sustainable gardens through Mexico, where lots of new animal and plant skills were acquired!
We are both very health conscious people who stick to an organic diet and do not smoke or drink alcohol.
Most importantly, we both have a warm heart, and it makes us happy to make others smile.

A note - We also have a furry friend who will be travelling with us. Our ginger cat, Freckle. He's literally the loveliest cat, about 1 years old and we've been told by house sitters who've looked after him 'that he's amazing', 'the first and only cat they've ever bonded with' and 'he's a keeper'!
It would be very much appreciated if we can have him with us in the home; we're happy to orchestrate arrangements with this... like keeping him in a seperate room to other pets if needed etc...
