Pet Lover and Reliable Sitter

53, Education Industry - Administration

Hi, I am an experienced house sitter and caring pet lover with excellent references. I am honoured to have repeat sits as owners comment that their pets are happy and relaxed when they return. I would love the opportunity to look after your pet(s) and your home while you're away.

I grew up with dogs, cats, a horse, chickens, budgies and guinea pigs as pets. I have cared for small, medium and large dogs as a house sitter including Border Collie, Cavoodle, Dachshund, Jack Russell, Pug, Labrador, Maltese, Greyhound and Stafford Shire Bull Terrier; domestic short hair and special breed cats, including Burmese, Russian Blue, Siamese and Persians; horses, parrots, chickens and goldfish.

I am an active person and would enjoy taking your dog for a walk around the local neighbourhood or to the local park. I work standard business hours in the Education Industry and prefer to be at home in the evenings and weekends so any house bound pets would also receive a lot of company and attention.

I am comfortable administering medication as I have taken care of older dogs and cats that needed tablets on a daily basis for various medical conditions. I understand some pets need some special care during thunder storms and fireworks and am happy to sit with them and reassure them. If your pet is used to sleeping in the room with you, this is fine too.

I have my own transport and am a responsible, single, quiet, clean and tidy non-smoker who is reliable and trustworthy.

Having been a Homestay Host to overseas students I understand what it's like to have others stay in your home and will respect your privacy and requests.

I am confident and happy to attend to any jobs that are required such as gardening and maintenance.

In previous positions I have had experience with cleaners, couriers, electricians, gardeners, plumbers etc. and am able to handle any needs should they arise.

I can provide references that can verify that I am clean, reliable and responsible and I am happy to use the Aussie House Sitters' House Sitting Agreement. I have a National Police Check Certificate for your added peace of mind.

I will take care of your property and pets as if they were my own and ensure you return to a clean and tidy home and happy, relaxed pets.

If it's easier, I am happy to chat with you by phone or organise a time to meet as I live in Brisbane.

Terry was the PERFECT cat and house sitter while we were overseas for a month. She was reliable, did what she said she would, sent us videos and photo updates, left the house tidy and spotless and above all a very happy Princess. Thank you so much Terry, we were relaxed knowing Princess was in your good hands
 
MANDAKINI (Tarragindi QLD, Sep 2018 - 4 weeks)
This was my first time using Aussie House Sitters to have my house and cats looked after and Terry not only made this the easiest process for me but has exceeded every single one of my expectations. She maintained great communication, sending me fantastic photos of the cats and left my house very neat and tidy. I will hopefully be fortunate enough to have her house sit in the future!
 
SAMANTHA (Kings Beach QLD, Jan 2024 - 4 weeks)
Terry attended for a meet and greet and I felt very comfortable with her looking after my fur baby. She was kind, easy to communicate with and sent regular photos and updates. I would recommend Terry as a wonderful pet sitter.
 
ARLEEN (Camp Hill QLD, Dec 2023 - 3 nights)
Highly recommend Terry to take excellent care of your pet and home. Terry left my house spotless, and even washed and dried the linen and remade the bed. My elderly cat was cared for perfectly and he was relaxed and calm when i got home. Terry is an excellent communicator and sent to me two updates while i was away, even though i was only away for two nights. Great house-sitter!
 
KYM (Caloundra QLD, Dec 2023 - 2 nights)
Terry did an amazing job pet sitting for us. She was a prompt communicator and sent a daily update on my 4 furbabies. The house looked as though she hadn’t even stayed here! It was spotless. When Terry came for a meet and greet, she was calm and gentle with the animals, showing great confidence with the larger dogs. She asked a lot of clarifying questions, which let me know she had a genuine interest to care for our house and animals as best she could. I would highly recommend Terry for future ... MORE
 
LUCY (Oxenford QLD, Dec 2023 - 3 nights)
We are so grateful to find Terry. The house was clean and tidy, she even popped milk in the fridge for us. Terry kept us up to date with our dogs with regular texts and photos. Thank you Terry.
 
SUZIE (Bli Bli QLD, Nov 2023 - 1 week 4 nights)
Terry was absolutely wonderful. She took great care of our dog and we couldn't have been happier with her. Great communication the entire time we were away. Would definitely recommend Terry to house/pet sit.
 
LORRAINE (Hollywell QLD, Nov 2023 - 3 nights)
Terry was an absolutely wonderful house/pet sitter! Terry took great care of our two dogs for the week (which involved needing to give one of them medication), and provided regular pictures and updates. Terry also took great care of the house and left it in immaculate condition. We’d have no hesitations in recommending Terry’s services!
 
KATHRYN (Wakerley QLD, Apr 2023 - 1 week)
I recently had Terry watch over our home while I was away and couldn't be happier. From start to finish, she was professional, reliable, and courteous. During our initial consultation she took the time to ask me about my expectations, and listened carefully to my concerns. Terry was attentive and thorough, and made me feel confident that my home would be in good hands. Throughout the house sitting period she provided regular updates and even sent pictures of my pets which I really ... MORE
 
JOHN (Holland Park QLD, Apr 2023 - 1 week)
Terry was great with communication and sent through photos of our dogs. House was super clean when returning home and Terry even left us a nice indoor plant. Definitely will use Terry in the future for more house sits.
 
JAKE (North Maleny QLD, Mar 2023 - 1 week 1 day)
We are delighted to have had Terry house sit for our 2 precious cats. The house was immaculate and the cats happy. Hopefully, this will not be the last housesit. Thanks again.
 
GLENDA (Mt Tamborine QLD, Dec 2022 - 1 week)
Terry is an absolutely wonderful housesitter. She looked after our rag doll cat who was very content and happy when we arrived back from holiday. Terry looked after the house and cleaned and maintained everything perfectly. The house was sparkling clean when we returned. You would not have even known anyone was there! Would highly recommend Terry and would love to have her back anytime!
 
SHAE (Elliott Heads QLD QLD, Dec 2022)

I would absolutely 100% recommend and use Terry again in the future.. Thank you Terry.. Jules and The Gingerman..
 
JULES (Elliott Heads QLD, May 2022 - 5 days)
Terry was an excellent house sitter for our home and pets. She has a real affinity for animals and we have dubbed her The Cat Whisperer as our very shy Tonkinese Monty warmed to her as she was actually able to photograph and pat him. She is very capable and not fussed by any challenges that arise. She is a great communicator and we were totally at ease and confident with all her capabilities. Upon our return the house and pets were all looking wonderful. She even left us a lovely bunch of ... MORE
 
PATRICK (LOGAN QLD, Mar 2020 - 3 weeks)
It was so nice to come back from holidays to a wonderfully clean home and happy pets. Even when meeting Terry before the sit started we felt confident our place and the mix of furry and feathered ones would be in great hands. Thank you and I hope the timing works again in the future, would love to have you back to house-sit again!
 
JUSTIN (Capalaba QLD, Dec 2019 - 1 week 1 day)

We were happy with Terry house/pet sitting for us while we were on holidays. House was left clean and our two cats were happy and content! We had great peace of mind and would recommend Terry.
 
REBECCA (Rochedale South QLD, May 2019 - 3 weeks)
We cannot recommend Terry highly enough. Our home was spotless on our return, our Furry Family were very well looked after. Terry communicated with us during our month long holiday with cute photo's of our Furry family. We would love Terry to look after our home again and would not hesitate to recommend her to any future House sitters. Thank you so much Terry.

SHELLEY (Forest Lake QLD, Feb 2019 - 1 week)
The moment I met Terry I knew she was the perfect person to sit my house and cats. I knew my cats would like her as she has a very calming and kind presence. She kept the house very neat and tidy and the garden and my pot plants looked great. My cats were healthy and happy on our return. I really appreciated the pictures and updates that Terry sent us which gave us piece of mind and we could really relax knowing they were being so well looked after. I would highly recommend Terry and will book ... MORE
 
LARA (Fairfield QLD, Jan 2019 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Terry is a fantastic house and pet sitter. She looked after out big Queenslander house and garden, as well as our two big dogs, while we were on holidays for two weeks. When we returned the house was immaculately clean, the dogs calm and happy, and the garden looking lush and green. We cannot recommend Terry too highly: she was excellent. We would love to have Terry look after hour place and pets again.
 
CHRIS (Corinda QLD, Jan 2019 - 1 week 4 days)
Terry looked after our home and our elderly cat for a period of 5 weeks while we travelled Europe. Terry did a fabulous job - our house was in perfect shape when we returned and the cat had been very well cared for. Communication was great with Terry and she was happy to go the extra mile with our cat to ensure he stayed healthy while we were away. I have no hesitation in recommending Terry as a housesitter and hope to be able to utilise her services again when we next travel.
 
JUDY (Heritage Park QLD, Nov 2018)
Having never had a stranger stay in our house and look after our dog we were nervous placing the ad. Happily when Terry came over to meet us all we felt very at ease and this was solidified when she came to collect the keys the day before we left. All our messages before and during our time away were answered the same day which was great. While we were away we received regular pics/clips of our young lady who was clearly very comfortable in Terry's care. We wouldn't hesitate to ... MORE
 
TRACEY (Carindale QLD, Oct 2018 - 1 week 6 days)
No rating Terry was a great help for me as I travelled for work for a week. I have quite a few animals and she took all the jobs in her stride. She was easy to talk to and my animals were happy and relaxed with her. I would recommend Terry to look after yours.
JO (Wamuran QLD, May 2018 - 5 days)
No rating Terry is a very caring sitter who looked after our blind, hearing impaired, elderly dachshund. Muddy requires twice daily medication and needs company. We came home to a very well cared for dog and home. I would be very happy to recommend Terry to other home owners and would love to have her sit for us again
HELEN (Petrie QLD, Jan 2018 - 1 week 2 days)
No rating Just wonderful to go away and have Terry looking after house and pouch. So nice to come home to spotless house. Our Hummer has gone into the sulks since Terry left he seems to think we should shower him with the same attention Well done Terry for coping with the unexpected visit from the carpet snake in the chicken feed shed. I would highly recommend Terry as a house sitter.
NOELA (Canungra QLD, Dec 2017 - 2 weeks)
No rating I would gladly recommend Terry, as a housesitter. My home was neet and tidy and my little dog happy, on my return, from holiday. Thank you Terry.
