Caring, mature, easy-going

Over 60, Not for profit management

I have recently retired from a role in the not for profit sector on the Central Coast of NSW. I don't intend to fully retire from work just yet, but I am looking forward to finding some WFH options and taking some time to explore new parts of Australia and revisit some familiar places.

I have been housesitting in a formal sense since May 2022 having previously looked after for family and friends, and helped my daughter out when she was a housesitter (and zookeeper!) for a couple of years.

I'd been renting for quite a number of years, and really missed having furbabies around me. I have packed up my things into storage and look forward to new adventures.

I have completed a month sit on Sydney's northern beaches, two weeks at South West Rocks, six weeks in the Hunter Valley, a 3 month sit in country NSW, some shorter sits in Harrington and Zetland as well as 3-4 week sits in Woy Woy and Fishermans Paradise. I have looked after a cavoodle and 18 1/2 year old cat, two little foxies, two staffies, chocolate and white labs, a golden retriever, groodles, gsp, cute mixes, cute kitties and some with quirks, chickens and birds and beautiful homes! I am basically booked until the end of 2024. Sydney and mid-North Coast preferred closer to Christmas but happy to consider other options, (including other states), preferably 2 weeks minimum, and longer sits would be great if I need to travel long distances.

I am mature, active and easy going.

Carrie is a delight! Abbie is a special feline and it seems they both survived the experience!!! The house was immaculate upon my return, the gardens healthy and green and the feline content…what more could I ask for! I highly recommend Carrie to any potential clients looking for a reliable and very pleasant house sitter. Thanks Carrie - made my trip so much easier knowing you were holding the fort!!

Carrie looked after my house and pets in Tasmania for 5 weeks, She left the house very clean and my pets were happy. Carrie sent plenty of photos during the stay. I would recommend her as a housesitter.

Carrie was a great house sitter taking care of the birds and the house and most importantly our dog for the nearly three weeks that we were away. Thank you Carrie for taking good care of things and especially of Schmooey.

I can highly recommend Carrie to anyone looking for an honest, trustworthy and caring housesitter. Carrie took very good care of my home and my two dogs. It is so comforting to be able to go away and relax knowing your pets and home are well cared for. Carrie is a good communicator and sent me updates and photos. I returned home to 2 happy boys and a clean house. Very happy 😊!! Thank you Carrie.
 
BRENDA (Fishermans Paradise NSW, Mar 2023 - 3 weeks)
Carrie is a brilliant house sitter, considerate, practical and personable. We were OS for three months and when we returned the house was in perfect condition. Our chocolate lab Floki was well looked after, and I know he was noticeably missing her, always a good sign! I could not recommend anyone more highly than Carrie, even when maintenance issues with our AC arose, she liaised with the trades people and saw the job through to completion. Carrie is welcome here anytime.
 
SHANE (Wagga Wagga NSW, Oct 2022 - 3 months 1 week)
Carrie stayed with us the night before we left on our two week holiday which gave us the opportunity to show her around our house and property, but more importantly to meet our two little dogs. We also have birds that needed to be fed and watered, plus two goldfish to feed. Carrie sent photos of our little dogs from time to time, which was great. We returned home to a lovely clean and tidy house which was amazing and our little dogs, Shorty & Wally, very happy. Carrie was respectful, honest ... MORE
