👋 A bit about me….
I've spent my life on acreage farms, caring for a variety of animals including horses, dogs, cats, cows, sheep, chickens, lizards, birds, and rabbits.
The last 7years have included owing a winery and olive grove with a busy cellar door in Mudgee NSW. After selling the property I now have ALOT more free time :-)

I have two children: Zarli (21) and Kayne (16). Our family includes some beloved pets: Coco and Sumi, both Japanese Spitz dogs; Mimi, a Manx cat; and two Peking ducks who think they're dogs 🤭

My daughter is now studying Veterinary Technology at Charles Sturt in Wagga Wagga claiming all the pets, and my son is spending time with his Dad. This gives me more freedom to explore new opportunities.

I'm very neat, clean, and organised, always ensuring both the inside and outside of my home are tidy. I believe in leaving places as I found them and have a great track record with Airbnb.

With my experience maintaining properties, I'm proficient with zero turn mowers, have tractor experience, and can use garden tools. I can also handle minor repairs. Having cared for many animals, I'm capable of administering medication and sticking to routines. Along with owing and riding my own horses, my background also includes offering horse agistment giving me confidence in feeding, rugging, and checking water etc for multiple horses.

I'm currently looking for short or long-term house sitting opportunities before I settle into a new home in due time.

If requested on longer sits I’m very handy at cleaning and sorting cupboards (kitchens, linen, garage, storage, wardrobes) and happy to discuss if you would like this done while you are away. I can also arrange any shopping to be collected and unpacked in preparation for your return.

How good is it to come home to a clean house with all that’s needed after a long trip!

I'm excited about the prospect of this house sitting journey and exploring different areas.

We can’t thank Erica enough for how well she looked after our home and dogs. She frequently took the dogs to the beach for a walk which they love and cared for them as if they were her own. Our home and garden in perfect condition when we got home. Also Erica was very capable looking after various issues that came up while we were away. We would love to have Erica back in the future if she is available.

Erika was confident person & very easy to communicate with on any subject related to the housesit. Our house was immaculate when we returned from holidays. Erika & our furry friend Barney got on famously & he was well looked after. Definitely recommend this pleasant reliable house sitter. Will be back at our house shortly.
