Reliable, honest, professional

56, Registered nurse

I am a Registered Nurse, I returned to WA late 2022 after 4 years overseas. We live in Perth and I work from home part time doing Telehealth after over 30 years in hospitals and community health.
I really enjoy looking after and caring for animals and am a real animal lover, walking a dog or sitting with a cat on my knee is heaven to me! I love nature, the quiet life and animals and wildlife watching.
My two sons are now 24 and 19. One is a student, studying a post grad, through Curtin- and still living at home and a 19 year old who is an entrepreneur and has set up an online business and is a musician. Both are animal lovers and handy with dog walking, mowing lawns, gardening etc.
My husband is a gardener, also working in Perth. Sometimes he comes with me on a house sit and sometimes not but that would be discussed prior to each individual house sit.
I grew up on a small acreage property and have experience with goats, sheep, chickens, geese, cats, tropical fish as well as many breeds of dogs including Kangol Shepherd Dogs, a Weimaraner, Rhodesian Ridgeback, German Shepherds, Labradors and Border Collies thanks an eccentric dad who always seemed to have at least five dogs on the go at one time!
I have house sitting experience (through UK house sitters and Aussie house sitters) as well as 3 house sitting jobs in New Zealand and am happy to supply excellent references to support this. I can also supply character references from previous WA Health employers in Kalgoorlie. I will look after your pets, pamper them and give them cuddles and attention and am very happy to send updates, photos and news of them while you are away. I will look after your house very carefully. It will be left immaculate.
We are non smokers/drinkers.

Amanda and her family were excellent, coped well with animals, wood fires and the vagaries of solar power in winter. They also collected our vehicles from the airport and from town. We would not hesitate to recommend them for your house sitting needs.

It was a pleasure and comfort to have Amanda look after my horse, dogs, cat and poultry. She looked after them with great care and love.Communication was accurate and timely and the house and gardens were cared for as I would have. Highly recommended. Thanks Amanda.
 
JACQUI (Stratham WA, Dec 2022 - 1 month 1 weeks)
Amanda and her family housesat for us for nearly 2 weeks, looking after house garden and our smallholding of sheep and hens. Everything was in excellent order and very clean and tidy on our return, the greenhouse plants had obviously been well tended and from ongoing communication throughout the time away I had absolute confidence that the animals were being cared for. We would have no hesitation in recommending Amanda as a housesitter and we would happily have her again to look after our ... MORE
 
CLAIRE (Skipton , Aug 2022 - 1 week 4 days) From House Sitters UK
Amanda was a very personable and reliable house sitter who I felt 100per cent confident leaving my lovely pet Cookie (as well as a home) with. I was on holiday for a month and had complete peace of mind knowing Amanda and her two adult sons were able to hold the fort for me in my absence. Would definitely recommend Amanda as a sitter.

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
