Responsible, Respectful, Reliable & Mature

56, Retired (ex Business Manager)

Hi

I was previously employed by Education Queensland as a Business Services Manager. From 2016 to COVID I had been house sitting around Australia and absolutely loved it. I have also house sat in Dunedin NZ and the UK.

I am a responsible, reliable mature age person who is respectful of other people's property and possessions. I have a fury friend of my own, so am very familiar with their needs and also that they are a member of one's family and very precious. I decided to rejoin Aussie House Sitter again as I love travelling around this great country of ours, but my fury co-pilot will be with me. He is very friendly, gets along great with other dogs and is house trained, Unfortunately he doesn't get on with cats.

I have owned my own residence, rented and also rented out my residence so know how important it is to get the right person, someone who is reliable, trustworthy and clean & tidy. I am a non-smoker, very organized, neat, reliable, honest person who enjoys travelling, photography, droning, reading and walking and able to provide names and contact details of referees upon request.

As I enjoy travelling house sitting gives me the opportunity in discovering new places and experiencing an area like a local. I always put my responsibilities first so will never leave your pet/s unattended for too long and will always follow your instructions 100%. House sitting is also a fabulous way to meet some wonderful people and for me to help others while fulfilling my own desire of travel.

This is only a snapshot of me so if you would like to know more please do not hesitate to contact me and I am happy to meet over a coffee depending on location any my other house sit commitment.

Thanking you in advance for your consideration.

Kind regards

Della

Della looked after our 18 month old cavoodle for a month over Christmas while we were overseas. This was our first time to use a house/pet sitter. Della was just fantastic from start to finish. Della came over to meet us and Bonnie initially and go through the routine. Bonnie was walked regularly and given lots of love and care over the month. The back yard was lovely and tidy and Della regularity scooped the leaves off the pool surface. Her communication was great while we were away ... MORE

Thank you Katharina for your lovely words. It was an absolute pleasure house sitting for you & looking after the adorable little Bonnie. Your home is very comfortable & is in a fantastic location, with public transport just around the corner & an assortment of cafes within easy walking distance. ... MORE
This was our first time using Aussie Houses Sitters and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Della was great to communicate right from when our ad was posted right up to arriving on the day-of for a run through of our home. She sent daily updates of our cat (with pictures) and made us feel completely confident that he was in the best company whilst we were on holiday. We returned to a spotless home and happy kitten. I would highly recommend Della to anyone looking for a ... MORE
 
ANDREW & EMILY (Coogee NSW, Jan 2021 - 9 nights)
Thank you Emily & Andrew for your kind words and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at your place and the company of the delightful Diego. Your home was very clean, comfortable and communication was exceptional. Thanks again for the opportunity and I would very happily welcome the opportunity in ... MORE
Della is a delightful lady and genuinely cared about our animals. Not only was she in charge of our very quirky and needy Maltese terrier but our big fat smoochy cat who apparently plonked herself next to Della for numerous scratches. Layla is very needy and standoffish but Della coped with her strangeness and weird eating habits wonderfully. Della is super organised and left the house immaculately clean and was also faced with the possibility of flooding during torrential rain, which she ... MORE
 
WENDY (Cabarita Beach NSW, Feb 2020 - 2 weeks)
Thank you Wendy & Peter for your lovely review, it was a pleasure house sitting for you. Little Layla was very entertaining to watch with her quirky habits & Miss Frou Frou was so adorable. Your home is in a great location which is in walking distance to the supermarket & cafes, with a Bowling ... MORE
Della took care of our Dog Winston and our house for a month we found her very easy to communicate with and her care of Winston was superb there were no issues while we were away and when we arrived home house was cleaned to a very high standard. And Winston was very happy we couldn't have had a better house sitter.

No rating We were very pleased that Della agreed to housesit whilst we were away in July, and even more pleased with her professionalism and preparedness. She definitely had her hands full with our two lively pups! We received regular updates, quick responses to our questions, and the house was left in perfect order. Della is more than welcome to stay at our home in the future!
KIMBERLY (Mount Eliza VIC, Jul 2018)
No rating Thanks Della you did a great job looking after our furry princess, fish and home. You were reliable, and caring it was great to come home to a lovely clean home. Thank you please keep a spot for us again.

House Security

Safe house!

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