About

Hello. I am a retired senior federal public servant, mature (sadly!), married woman looking to do some house sitting. I live with my husband in our own home on the Gold Coast and sadly we no longer have any pets with us. We have had cats (Charlie died a year ago) and have had a lovely Kelpie dog who has again sadly passed away. We’re working out when and what type of dog to get again. I am an experienced "pet" person, having had all manor of animals in my home, from mice, birds, fish to cats and dogs. Our own dog (a kelpie) was 9 when he became ill and died. He was until then a very crazy young thing, needing lots and lots of exercise. He was supposed to be an outside dog, but somehow that rule hadn’t been fully applied! Our cat was 10 and thought he was a dog, following us around everywhere to supervise. I am able to garden, clean the pool, look after the house and pets. I am a non smoker. Though I plan to "house sit" usually by myself, there would be times when my husband would join me for a short break. We are both thoroughly house trained! We are planning to formally retire in a few years and I feel that house sitting in different places would help me to get a feel for various districts by living like a local, rather than as a tourist. I am most happy to look after pets and would look after your home well. I have now done many house sits (and many return sits) and can forward names and contact details for these house owners as references. I have a written personal character reference that I can send on to you as well. Hopefully all will tell you how wonderful I am. Oh, and also that I am honest, reliable and trustworthy. You can email me on eevahelena@yahoo.com.au anytime. My preference is for short breaks, up to a couple of weeks or so, and around the ACT or anywhere in NSW and South Australia. Thanks. Eeva
