Sitter Deb

54, Property Investment Manager

Hi,

My name is Debbie and I've completed many previous house sits in QLD and after a break for a couple of years it’s now time to hit the road on a long awaited QLD to WA road trip. I'll be travelling in my Subaru Forester and doing a mix of camping and house sitting along the way. I have about 6mths to do the return trip so lots to time to explore the far side.

I will try and update this next paragraph as my travels roll on.

Key dates:
Done ✔️ 19th January the sale of my home settles YIPPEE
Done ✔️ End of January to late February - Seeking North Brisbane to Southern Sunshine Coat house sit/s to relax and make sure all the loose ends are sorted before I hit the road.

Done ✔️ Late Feb: Brisbane to Port Augusta SA

Done ✔️ Late Feb - March: Port Augusta to WA,

Done ✔️ March - WA bottom half. With so much to see and do I will wait and see what house sits are available and zigzag or loop as needed.

Done ✔️ - WA EASTER SCHOOL HOLIDAYS - I have big ambitions for April and a house sit near (1hr) either end of the Munda Biddi trail would be perfect so I can repack and prep for the long ride and link up with the connecting transport to get started.

Doing - 8th April - I should be riding the Munda Bidda Trail, I hear someone just did it in 2 1/2 days, lets just say I'm going to give myself as long as it takes so no house sits for the rest of April.

May - Still in WA - house sit requests welcome
June- WA
July - SA


Although I dont plan on doing much work on this trip there will be times I do sit down with the laptop and check in on business.
I can work from anywhere in Australia where there is mobile phone coverage. Whilst on a house sit I’d generally be out for a couple of hours each morning or if I do have a bigger day out, I’d most likely be home the days either side. I’m very flexible and like to replicate what the pets are used too where possible.

Non smoker & police checked.

My hobbies include riding my Mountain bike, bush walking, museums, nature and local markets, I'm just about always able to find somewhere new to explore within a short distance.

My family have had various pets over the years including dogs, cats, birds, fish, rats, chickens, turtles and guinea pigs.

I'm a clean and well organized person who generally would clean as I go and happy to do some light gardening, pet walking etc.

Happy to talk to you to answer any questions.

Deb was a fantastic sitter. the pets loved her, and the house was spotless when we got home. We'd be happy to have her come back anytime, thanks Deb!!
 
LEISA (Narrabundah ACT, Feb 2021 - 2 days)
Deb is friendly and lovely. The animals liked her and the house was left clean. Sheets washed and she used her own towels and pillow. Deb follows feeding etc as instructed. Would recommend for house sitting.

Faithful, flexible, and definitely the most awesome house sitter you could find.
 
CARA (Stanthorpe QLD, Jan 2020 - 5 days)
Deb is fantastic! Before she was due to sit for us she came and visited us twice so that we could get to know her and show her the ropes. First impressions were great. She was always quick to reply to our messages and she gave us weekly updates whist we were away to let us know how everything was going. When we came back the house was very clean and the garden had been cared for, with lots of our plants looking even better than before we left. Most importantly our cat seemed very happy, ... MORE
 
DAVID (Kallangur QLD, Aug 2019 - 4 weeks)
Deb was a wonderful housesitter. She took great care of our cat who can be a little high maintenance. She also went above and beyond when it came to leaving our place clean. It was spotless and she even went to the trouble of ensuring we returned to clean sheets which we really appreciated after a very long flight home. I definitely recommend Deb and would use her again for any future sits.
 
SARAH (Taringa QLD, Jun 2019 - 4 weeks)
Deb was great, the dogs and guinea pigs were well take care of and the house was lovely and clean when we got home. Definitely recommend! Thanks Deb.
 
ASHLEIGH (Griffin QLD, Apr 2019 - 2 weeks)
Thank-you very much for looking after my house and cat while I was away for the week. The house was lovely & clean when I returned, and my cat seemed happy & rested. I look forward to having you do another house-sit in the future.
 
LOISE (Doonan QLD, Mar 2019 - 6 days)
Thank you for the nice review. I'm sorry it didn't get to blow the leaves from the driveway before leaving the rain was constant for the last couple of days.
Debra looked after our dog and turtle while we were away for 10 days and we returned to an immaculate house with very happy well cared for pets. Debra was great at communicating sending us emails while we were away. Would highly recommend her as a housesitter!
 
JESSICA (Westlake QLD, Mar 2019 - 1 week 3 days)
Deb was a great house and dog sitter. I returned to a clean and orderly house. The dogs had been very well cared for. I would certainly recommend Deb for your house and dog sitting.
 
KERRIE (Bracken Ridge QLD, Dec 2018 - 2 weeks)
Debra was friendly, pleasant & helpful in collecting our post parcels, left plenty of water for cats and called by to feed cats when our flight was delayed. We perhaps would have liked initial spontaneous reassurance/update regarding the cats settling like our last sitters have done, but Debra did respond promptly to our enquiry. One cat has put on an unhealthy amount of weight so wonder if portions and directions were followed. Some plants dead - appeared to be from lack of water. ... MORE
 
MOIRA & MARK (Burpengary, Brisbane QLD, Nov 2018 - 4 weeks)
When I arrived I was in tears, the smell of cat urine was unbelievably strong throughout the living areas, what have I done. The kitchen and bathroom were dirty, stuff piled up on the benches and covered in dust, grease and dirt. I had reassured Moira several times that I'd be there after the last ... MORE
Thanks to Debra we felt quite comfortable to be away from home and know that all will be taken care of for us. She took care of our 4 chooks and made sure they were let out to free-range every day. We arrived back to find our home clean and fresh and would recommend Debra for any house sit she would like in the future.
 
SARA (Wolvi/via Gympie QLD, Oct 2018 - 1 week 3 days)
Debra was a wonderful house sitter. We would highly recommend her. She is reliable and responsible. We came home to a spotless house and 3 happy and healthy dogs. Thanks Debbie!!!
