63, Coach | Writer
Hi, I am a 16+ experienced house sitter with great reviews and have a huge love for animals, nature and living sustainably. A fit, active, healthy, high energy 63 years of age single Australian male ready to care for your loved ones and look after your house/gardens.
Recently returned from spending 4 years in South Africa where amongst other things I was helping to manage a 13 hectare grazing farm that was off-grid, had chickens, our own food forest and vegetable garden.
I am a clean, tidy, trustworthy Virgo who doesn't smoke and have many years experience caring for pets (dogs, cats, chooks, horses, fish, birds ...) and would love the opportunity to look after your precious ones. I work from home so able to pay extra attention to your loved ones. It will be my pleasure to take great care of your pets and your house.
I am without a car at present so being close to shops and/or public transport is preferable. Check out my many great 5 star references attached and below. Happy to meet or connect via Whatsapp or Telegram and discuss any potential opportunities. Much gratitude. Richard.

“Richard was a pleasure to have mind our cat and home for 5+ weeks while we were overseas. He was in regular contact with photos and communication about our pool and a storm that damaged the garden. We felt really comfortable our cat and home were in great hands.”

I didn't even need to think twice about choosing Richard to look after my furkids and home after reading his bio. I knew he would be perfect and perfect he was.
From the regular updates and pics sent, to returning to the house and gardens being left immaculate- I just can't recommend Richard enough and would definitely have him sit again.
The babies were sad to see him leave, he looked after them so well and they enjoyed having him be there with them.
Richard was fantastic and I can't thank him enough.
