61, Retired visual artist

Hi,
I'm a single, 61 and a retired visual artist. I have a permanent home near Port Douglas but I’m available for local housesits in the Cairns city and region through the summer months.

I consider myself an animal lover. I grew up on a small farm in the region and have owned dogs, cats, ducks and chickens as an adult. I still have dog (in the picture) who ideally could come with me especially on longer sits. I really love cats and miss mine but im happy to look after any type of animal.

Due to a change of plan, I haven't done housesitting for years but now I need somewhere more comfortable than my open- aired tropical house, hence onky one review. In the days before internet reviews I did several successful housesits in Tasmania and also needed the services of a house sitter myself at that time - so I’m experienced at both positions. In the past, Ive successfully managed to introduce and cohabit my own pet (a male cat) with those of the owners. My current dog needs daily exercise, as do I, so yours can be assured they will get their exercise too. My dog has regular social contact with other dogs of all varieties. She is adaptable and well behaved, as we have travelled a lot together and lived in various situations. Mostly when we are out walking she can be off leash and loves at the Smithfield dog park where we occasionally go.

I don't smoke, and live quietly. i respect your property in the way you would hope for. I endeavour to communicate clearly and honestly and follow your instructions to the best of my ability.

It was a pleasure to have Andrea look after our house and dog. Communication before, during, and after the sit was quick and easy, and we came back to a clean house and a happy dog. Andrea’s dog accompanied her and got along with our Kelpie with no issues. We have no hesitation recommending Andrea (and her dog Achah) to anyone looking for a sitter.

Andrea was amazing. The animals all loved her and she went above and beyond to look after them including washing their bedding.. Andrea is a very friendly and easy going person who takes pride in her house sitting and again going beyond what I would ever have expected. Thank you Andrea. Highly recommended.

Safe house!

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