Responsible, Caring and Mature

65, Retired Human Services Professional

Hello, I'm looking forward to caring for your home and pets. I have received five doses of the covid vaccination and you can rest assured that I follow all the covid-related rulings wherever I am staying. I also have a current clean national police check.
I am friendly, mature, very house proud and trustworthy with a professional background in management and various human services roles. I've also run my own businesses in consulting and training, and for something completely different, as a dog groomer.
I'm an experienced dog and cat sitter, and have also cared for fish, birds and chickens. I have excellent reviews from my previous house sitting jobs.
In 2020 I retired from my last position in dispute resolution / mediation for the Queensland government, as well as from being an Airbnb superhost at my home in Brisbane.
I have often used house sitters when I'm away from home so I understand the need for respect, trust, reliability, excellent communication, and close care and attention for your home and pets.
I am a keen gardener, so as well as keeping your home meticulously clean, I will ensure that your pot plants and garden are well cared for.
My travelling companion is Georgie, my very clean and well-behaved 12 year old mini-poodle Georgie. Georgie gets along with most other dogs, and has a curious and cautious relationship with cats.
I don't drink or smoke, and would prefer positions in non-smoking households.
I look forward to caring for your home and pets as if they were my own.

We highly recommend Jennie as a house sitter. Before the sit, she went out of her way to meet with us and our two dogs, being very caring and considerate of our dogs needs. It was obvious that she has a lot of experience with animals. During the sit she walked our dogs regularly, even though it was raining, and sent daily photos of our dogs being pampered. We arrived home to two very happy dogs, a house that was cleaner than when left and a bunch of flowers. A very easy experience - thanks ... MORE

Jennie is a very caring animal sitter, you can see that by the way she interacts with them. I have a nearly 15 year old Maltese Terrier who needs vet care and Jennie took him to the vet for his monthly injection, and was very happy to do that. Also Jennie kept me updated with photos and news from home. Jennie has a lovely dog called Georgie, and my dog and her got on right from the start. Jennie you looked after Buddy and my house magnificently and I would have you back anytime. you are a ... MORE

Thanks so much for the lovely review Cheryl. I hope I can come back one day!
I had Jenny look after my house and fur babies whilst I was away. My babies were well looked after even giving my dog her medications werent an issue. My babies were very happy with Jenny and her gorgeous dog Georgia. My house was left immaculate. I recommend Jenny to anyone needing there house and fur babies sat and I will have Jenny again when needed. ❤️
 
CHERYL (Seaford VIC, Mar 2023 - 5 days)
Thank you Jennie for looking after our pets and home. Our dog in particular was very happy. And I was very impressed that she managed to get him to go on walks, when he normally refuses anyone except my husband and I. The house was very clean when we got home, which was very much appreciated. We would happily have Jennie sit for us again
 
MILLA (Coburg VIC, Mar 2023 - 1 week)
Thanks so much Milla...I hope the stars align in the future for me to be with Tiger and Leia again :)
Hi Jennie, we would love to have you back! It has been a very positive experience for us.

Look forward to it Cisca, thanks so much
Thank you SO MUCH Jennie for making our first house sit experience so easy. Mum was very relaxed knowing you were caring for her dog, birds and house. We were both very grateful for your communication and also mum said the house was in perfect condition and all great when she returned home. Oh and you really went the extra mile in helping her out when you didn't need to (after the sit had ended). Thank you VERY much from both of us! Kirsty & Helen (and Ella :) ).
 
KIRSTY (Raymond Terrace NSW, Jun 2022 - 3 weeks)
That's lovely Kirsty - thank you! I hope it was a special time to have Helen with you for those few weeks
Jennie was a lovely sitter for our home and dog. She left the house incredibly tidy and looked after our ageing pooch very well. She was gentle and calm with the dogs which created an agreeable atmosphere for all. I would recommend Jennie for any future house sits.
 
DAVID (Bendigo VIC, Mar 2022 - 5 days)
Thanks for your kind words Dave
Jennie cared for my dog Suki in early March for 10 days whilst I was in hospital We had just lost our other dog to illness a few days before. Jennie was so wonderful and extra caring with Suki. I appreciated her so very much!! I got daily updates and photos and felt very much reassured that Suki was coping very well with Jennies extra special care!! I would leave Suki with jennie again any time!!! Thanks again so much, jennie.
 
DEBBI (Ferntree Gully VIC, Mar 2022 - 1 week 3 days)
Thank you so very much Debbi
I could not recommend Jennie highly enough. I received messages daily about my dogs welfare and any other queries regarding the house. It was also a pleasant surprise to find Jennie had cleaned the house and washed the linen and towels! I have no hesitation in recommending Jennie for anyone needing a house sitter. Thanks, Geoff Walker & Molly.
 
GEOFF (Clifton Springs VIC, Feb 2022 - 3 weeks)
Thank you so much Geoff. It was an absolute pleasure to spend time with gorgeous Molly and your lovely home
Jennie was a dream come true for an anxious first time user of this site. Excellent communication. So thoughtful and great with the pets and garden. She took exemplary care of the cat and chickens, going above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy and healthy. We came home to a spotless house, better than we had any right to expect She also organised our laundry! What a star, I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Safe house!

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