QUIET CARE

58, writer/ exercise leader

For a number of years I have been offered house-sitting positions, and I have references from these times.These are mainly from the Northern Rivers such as : Gold Coast, Byron Shire and Lismore to Yamba areas. I have lived in this area for 14 years. Previously I lived on the Sunshine Coast, and can include Brisbane in areas I am happy to travel to I am able to look after gardens and pot-plants, domestic animals, and the general business of the house.
I live a healthy quiet life.. I work
part time teaching gently exercise classes in Respite care.
Writing and study have been the main focus in recent years. I do not drink or smoke.
I like to care for cats and small, or peaceful dogs. I have also cared for mice, guinea-pigs, cockatiels, budgerigars, and fish.
I do not have my own van, so stay in. Prefer to be near town, but love to be surrounded by trees and gardens.
I look forward to meeting you and caring for your special ones.
I am also available for Long Term house sits.
Here is a sample reference from a previous house- sit (contact me for more information).

To Whom it may concern,
It is with pleasure that I write this letter of reference for Amber.
Amber undertook a period of 2 weeks caring for our pets and home.
Our dog Bruce, is a medium sized Kelpi cross and is close with our family spending a lot of time
with us in the house during the day and night. Amber was sensitive and embracing of Bruce and
was respectful of his place in our home and hearts. Amber proved to be a great companion for
our Bruce during this time, walking him twice a day and taking care of his needs.
Polly, our sometimes vocal, but loving juvenile cat was also taken great care of by Amber and she
was given the time and attention she demands.
Amber communicated openly and honestly with us throughout initial planning through to the end
of the housesit. Her attention to detail and foresight ensured that she was well prepared prior to
us leaving for our holiday. She arrived the evening prior to us departing, as arranged, and shared a
meal with our family which was a great way to get to know her and ensured she was comfortable
with the requirements.
Amber is a tidy and efficient person and during her stay she maintained our home to a high
standard. Her efforts in preparation for her departure were greatly appreciated; after a long
journey it was pleasant to return to a tidy home and fresh linen.
I found Amber to be a good communicator, honest, friendly, genuine, respectful, and responsible.
I highly recommend her as a house-sitter, petsitter, or garden sitter and she is more than capable
of ensuring your most beloved are well taken care of.
I may be contacted via email if any further information is desired.
Regards,
Tennille

Amber looked after our two cats for a month while we were overseas for Christmas. They seemed happy and well fed when we returned. She also got more dry food and kitty litter from our local PetBarn when it ran out towards the end of the month (which we reimbursed her for). House was left tidy, however floors, surfaces, and bathrooms needed a full clean upon our return. There was a month's worth of cat hair on our sofa which I needed to vacuum up as well. I would have preferred a bit ... MORE
 
BRITTANY (Tweed Heads South NSW, Dec 2023 - 4 weeks)
Unfortunately, I sent a number of emails to Brittany which went unanswered for two weeks until the day before arriving home. I was left confused by her lack of communication since she had very strongly written to me that she wanted more from me, yet she herself did not answer. ( nor opened my ... MORE
Amber looked after our house and our two dogs very well. Amber was very responsive and came twice to the house before the housesit to go over things. We didn't worry while we were away. Amber was very thorough, and we would have no problems using her again or recommending her.
 
RACHEAL (Tumbulgum NSW, Dec 2022 - 9 days)
Amber was our house sitter while we went away for 2 weeks in May. Amber was a really good communicator, extremely trust worthy and reliable, so we didn't have to wonder how everything was going back at home. Lily was extremely well looked after and bonded well with Amber. So much so that Lily didn't seem fazed when we returned. Amber left everything in good order including Lily! We recommend Amber to look after your pet/s and house so you can have a worry free holiday. Please don't ... MORE
 
ZETA AND PATRICK (Pottsville NSW, May 2022 - 2 weeks)
Amber was the perfect house sitter, she took wonderful care of our fur baby and the house was immaculate when we arrived home. She was great to communicate with, I highly recommend Amber and will definitely reach out again when we need a sitter.
 
SARAH (Kingscliff NSW, Apr 2022 - 1 week)
I felt very safe to go away and leave my 20 y.o. cat in Amber's care. My house was clean and Amber had even done the washing and my cat was happy and content. Plus my garden was looking very green. I would recommend Amber for garden, house and cat sitting every time.
