Silver Service Home Sits

Mid-60s, PhD Researcher

Hi there.

My name is Kevin. I am a fit, active and mature man with 12+ years experience house and pet sitting including several long-term sits extending over 6-months. I'm an independent and calm personality. A non-smoker with excellent references and up-to-date Police check.

I love animals and housesitting and I believe in providing you with quality carefree time away from your home, knowing that everything is being looked after just as you would want. And when you return, you will arrive back to a home that is sparkling and clean, groomed and polished - with happy and content pets to greet you.

Over the years I have cared for young and active as well as elderly dogs and cats, so understand the need for special care and attention, for all types and personalities. At times this has included maintaining medical treatments and managing VET visits and follow-ups. So comfortable with whatever situation may arise.

I am flexible and can work around your needs. My house sits have included large homes, small cottages and apartments. Inner city, semi-rural and regional. I also have international experience in France. Dogs, Cats, Fish, Chooks, Frogs, Gardens, Swimming pools, Mail, Property management, Art Collections - I have experience with it all.

All my clients have become good friends and regularly rebook me. I have a preference for 1 month minimum sits, but with recalls I do sometimes accomodate shorter periods. As I do if I have gaps between longer sits.

Between 2011-2016 I was focused on locations in NSW from Sydney to Kurrajong, Bathurst to the Blue Mountains, Ballina to Brunswick Heads and many places in between. Since 2018 I have been doing a PhD at Macquarie University, hence my preference for extended housesits in and around the Sydney region. It also means I am doing a lot of reading and writing and on hand to tend to all your loved ones and other domestic needs.

In the past I've done sits in the Blue Mountains, Western Sydney, Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, Lower and Upper North Shore. My bookings are usually a good way in advance and my services in demand, so if you're interested then let's arrange to meet soon.

In 2020, during the worse of COVID, a number of my pre-booked sits were cancelled as we all started to adjust to the new norm. Since 2021/22 I continued to support a few of my regular sits once restrictions started to ease.

More recently (2023) I have done three sits and about to take on a Mosman sit over Xmas through to mid-January 2024. So available from then....

All the best.
Kevin

We highly recommend Kevin as a trusted and dependable housesitter - he did an excellent 4 week house sit for us looking after our 2 cats over Dec/Jan 2019. He won over the affection of our usually fussy cats and we returned from holiday to find them well groomed, very relaxed and healthy. He made sure our apartment was also super clean and tidy and all my pot plants alive and mail collected. Kevin is a very nice guy, good communicator and always well organized. We soon realized he was a ... MORE

Kevin is an extremely good communicator, left our house tidy and had watered our plants when needed. I found him reliable and am very happy to recommend him to others.

Kevin house-sat our home and older dog Lulu in 2019. We found Kevin reliable, responsible, respectful, and trustworthy. Kevin looked after our fur-baby Lulu's above average needs. She is anxious and takes daily medication, an inside dog with separation anxiety. She cannot socialise with other dogs so daily walks and managing interactions with other dogs is important. Lulu is strong and benefitted from Kevin's strength. When Lulu first met Kevin she felt comfortable with him, which is not the ... MORE

Kevin did a wonderful job housesitting for me and I recommend him highly. I have an 18 yo cat and I was very concerned about leaving her in another persons care, as she is quite demanding and requires medication twice daily. Kevin read all my notes on her needs and attended to her with great care. I arrived home to a happy cat, an absolutely perfectly clean and ordered house, gardens watered , and so kindly things in fridge like fresh milk, eggs, fruit and nice wine. It was fabulous to arrive ... MORE

No rating Kevin house sat for us last year for nearly four months .He did a wonderful job!. Our rescued cat was beautifully cared for and was in a secure and happy state when handed back to us, Not an easy job as she has been severely traumatised in her youth. Our house was immaculately maintained and in fact was cleaner when Kevin finished his sit. then when we handed over to him. Kevin is an intelligent thoughtful person who we found to be highly reliable, in fact should we go away again for ... MORE

No rating Kevin Lucas recently looked after our home and animals while we were in Europe from May-July 2016. We have a cat and two dogs, one of whom was quite elderly. We spend a lot of time at home and were very anxious to find a sitter who would be able to devote sufficient time to our animals. Kevin did a fantastic job. Our older dog needed some medical attention while we were away, and he took this in his stride, sending us regular detailed updates regarding her progress. On our return, we found ... MORE
