We are a Swedish/Australian couple who has traveled loads and is always up for new places and experiences. We've lived together in Australia, Sweden, Spain, and England, and we have traveled to many other countries around the world.
OUR EXPERIENCE
Sara - I grew up on a farm and have therefore taken care of a wide range of animals; dogs, cats, bunnies, cows, horses, pigs and not to forget - stick insects. As an adult, I have worked at a dairy farm, owned cats, and also taken care of, and spent a lot of time with, friends' and family's pets. My parents have a big property in Sweden which I help them with when I am in Sweden, and I love spending time with their cats and their border collie. I have always loved animals and always will. I have also rented a lot of different houses, cabins, etc which I have taken very good care of. I am no stranger to mowing lawns, watering plants, and doing some general maintenance of gardens.
James - My family has had dogs and cats throughout my whole upbringing. The biggest love of my life, besides Sara, is dogs, and pointing out cute dogs on the street is my favorite activity. I also take care of my parents' two Tenterfield terriers and house in Goolwa sometimes when they go on vacation, as well as my brother and his girlfriend's house and Labradoodle in Adelaide when they go on vacation. Sara's mum is a gardener and when I have been in Sweden I helped her out with her jobs which gave me some gardening experience.
We are also happy to send over our references from Trusted Housesitters, were we have more of them.
