CARING HONEST FEMALE

63, Retired Public Servant

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

In 2020 I returned to live at the Sunshine Coast after a decade looking after my elderly Mum in Brisbane. I am now ready to get out and explore this beautiful country once again. Previous house sitting experience led me all over mainland Australia and I am looking forward to the opportunity that house sitting provides, to meet new people and forge new friendships with home owners and their furry family members.

I understand that engaging a house sitter requires a leap of faith, particularly for first timers. My goal is to enable you to enjoy your time away, confident in the knowledge that your home and pets are receiving the same high standard of care and love, that you yourself would provide.

In the past I have been granted the privilege of caring for dogs, cats, fish and birds. I'm fit, healthy and capable of providing lawn and garden maintenance but I'm not a gardener by any stretch of the imagination. Good instructions would be a must. As I had a pool at my own home in Brisbane, I also have some experience with pool care. I would prefer to have 2 or less pets to care for as this would allow ample time for me to generously lavish my new furry friends with cuddles and love.

I believe my most valuable asset is that I possess a considerable degree of common sense and I am not inclined to panic in challenging situations. In my experience, panic never helps. I don't drink alcohol and have never smoked. Partying is not part of my lifestyle.

My work history includes clerical and technical positions with Brisbane City Council, Maroochy Shire Council and Telecom Australia. I have been retired for some years.

In 2024 I would be interested in:

Coastal Sydney and NSW South Coast for approximately 1 - 4 weeks each over the summer months, mid December to February. I have commitments until then so I can't travel south until that time. I'm looking forward to walking the beautiful coastal pathways and National Parks while I'm in this area.

In 2025:

Darwin NT between May and August for 2 weeks to 2 months. I'm planning a road trip from the Sunshine Coast to Darwin, Kakadu and possibly WA which I will plan around any house sits. I would need room to park my car and teardrop camper.

If you feel I could be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. References are available on request.

All the best, Ann.

We have just arrived home after six weeks away. House is in perfect order, garden well maintained...and our little dog Eddie has been looked after , walked and obviously well fed ...happy to see us and sad to see Ann leave Ann was great at letting us know if Eddie was out of sorts and sorted maintenance out on the house when needed without any fuss. Would highly recommend Ann as a reliable and honest housesitter ...would love to have her back again ....thankyou Ann

Thanks for the kind review, Helen and Terry. It was a privilege to look after your lovely home and to keep Eddie company during your absence. All the best, Ann.
Ann looked after Rosie and the house for a week. We came home to a very happy dog and a clean house and thriving garden. Ann was a great communicator and I would welcome her back anytime. Thank you Ann
 
THERESE (Coorparoo QLD, Sep 2023 - 7 nights)
We were so happy that Ann chose our home to look after and to care for our cat (Max). We knew that Max would be in good care while we were away, we could relax and enjoy our holiday. Our home was nice and clean when we returned home and Max was happy, what more could we ask for!! Ann even went that extra mile and made sure there was fresh milk and bread for us, so we didn't have to rush to the grocery store after a long overnight flight, such a bonus. This was the first time we have used ... MORE
 
RITA (Ashmore QLD, Aug 2023 - 1 week 3 nights)
Thanks for your kind review Rita. All the best, Ann.
Ann looked after our chickens for 3 weeks. She did a super job. She took great care of the house and the chooks, and was always responsive to any questions we had while away. The house was spotless when we got home. I highly recommend Ann as a house sitter.
 
SAM (Tarragindi QLD, Dec 2022 - 3 weeks)
Sam and May Le were a pleasure to sit for. They were always positive and their communication was great. Thanks for the opportunity to sit at your lovely home.
We could not recommend Ann highly enough We came home to an immaculately tidy and clean house Anne and our dog Gus became firm friends in our absence. He was obviously looked after very well Ann contacted us regularly with updates on Gus
