SingleRaised on a 1200 acre property on the NSW south coast, extensive horse handling and riding abilities, experience with working cattle, dogs, chickens, milking cows, I hand raised a calf when her mother died at two days old, I've rescued rabbits, pidgeons, had 5 cats, 2 dogs and 4 horses, I learned to drive on a tractor age 8 :)

I am a responsible, organised and tidy person. Besides giving your pets all the love and care they deserve I keep your house neat and clean, collecting post, watering and caring for gardens/veggie patches and trouble-shooting any immediate concerns, so you can totally relax on your holiday and know that everything is taken care of.
I love animals, their company and affection. Having lost my own beautiful 20yr old Tonkinese cat three years ago, I'm currently choosing to experience some travel, but still crave the love and companionship until I'm ready to have another of my own.
I grew up on an eco-property on the NSW South Coast and have experience with many animals - horses, cattle, dogs, cats, rabbits, birds - to name a few. I have had the loving companionship of 5 cats, 4 horses, 2 dogs and a hand-raised calf.
I moved to Queensland in mid 2019, a long held dream to make a sea change. By housesitting I hope to explore more of the Sunshine and Fraser Coasts, and further afield. I have had a house and two apartments - a homeowner for more than 20 years, but am currently choosing to explore the freedom and travel of house sitting.
This is why I love to take care of your home and pets. With practical experience and my solution-oriented nature I have developed over the years, I can provide you with a high level of comfort and service, so you can relax fully, enjoy your holiday and return to happy pets and a welcoming home.
My interests include daily meditation, yoga, swimming, sailing, cycling and a little Pinot Noir :)
I have house sit experience with: cats, dogs, horses, birds, snakes, chooks, aquarium fish, aquaponics fish, indoor and outdoor plants, composting loo's, water tanks and worm farms.
Many of the house sits I am engaged in are now repeat customers - 5th, 6th + more times I have sat for homeowners on the Sunshine Coast and Hervey Bay for sits from a week to over 6 weeks.
I am semi retired but I do still write and teach online, so I need a quality Wi-Fi signal, I have my own car with a good driving record, am a non-smoker and vaccinated. I can provide references from my 2019-2021 rental tenancy, as well as personal recommendations and a 2019 Police Check Certificate.
Warm regards, Jen-Maree
We were incredibly lucky to have Jen-Maree sit for us. Communication was fast and responsive pre visit and during. The house was clean and tidy upon our return. She was even kind enough to leave some bread, eggs and milk in the fridge.
Most importantly our furries were happy and content.
We would love to use Jen-Maree again. She was very kind and caring.
We would highly recommend her for a house/pet sit.
Our dog Riley had a lovely time with Jen-Maree, was great to see photos of her out for walks at the beach having a blast. Came back to the house as we had left it, nice and tidy. Jen-Maree was very friendly, warm and trustworthy would definitely recommend and would have her stay again!
As a first time user of the Aussie House Sitter site, we were fortunate to have Jen Marie sit our home and pet cat while on a 6 week vacation. On initial meeting I immediately felt at ease when speaking with Jen Maree and knew my home and pet were in good hands. She had excellent communication, cared for our home and kitty beautifully and left our home in excellent condition, in a clean and tidy manner. I will definitely be engaging Jen Maree again in the future and would recommend her services ... MORE
Jen Maree was wonderful, Easy & reassuring to communicate with and when we met we had every confidence in her. This was well founded as everything was in order & the cat, very happy when we got home. Thankyou Jen Maree.
Jen Maree has looked after our animals before and considering our cat has a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde personality, she has survived once more. She really does care about them.
Thank you once again for caring for our needy pets.
Jen Maree looked after our home in very respectful way.
We returned to lovely clean home .
Communicated with Jen Maree was easy and friendly.
Fresh milk and eggs in the fridge when we arrived home was a lovely gesture.
I could not have asked for a better house/pet sitter. Communication from Jen was prompt, efficient and easy from the get-go.
The place was left immaculate and pups were very happy and healthy upon return.
Communication while away was quick and easy, giving me regular updates.
If I could give 100 ⭐️ I would. Hopefully we continue to cross paths again, I know the pups would be so excited to have you in their care again 😊
Thank you!
Jen Maree was The perfect house sitter for us. Our cat Ziggy was spoiled with lots of cuddles and brushing from Jen Maree. A very warm and friendly person. A very positive 10 out of 10! The house was spotless when we got home which was wonderful. All in all I would thoroughly recommend Jen Maree for any house sitting and or pet sitting.
Came home to a.nice clean home and very happy pets!
Jen-Maree was friendly and kept in touch with good communication.Thankyou so much for taking good care of my babies!
Would definately recommend as a house sitter.
Jen-Maree did an amazing job looking after our place. Our 2 dogs loved their walks and I think they were looking for J-M when we arrived instead! She navigated our Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde cat, which is no small feat!
Our home was left neat and tidy. Thank you Jen-Maree for looking after everything so well.
Jen-Maree, just brilliant, everything was perfect on my return. Cats happy and content, Horses well cared for, the house was in tip top shape & Jen-Maree cooked a lovely dinner on my return.
Would love to have Jen-Maree return sit in the future.
Highly recommended
A wonderful sitter and be a seamless transition. I wouldn't have believed that a totally spoilt cat could get more attention. Will certainly use her again and recommend to my friends. Thank you Jen-Maree
This was our first time having a house/pet sitter and Jen Maree was absolutely fantastic! She is so lovely and always replies quickly to any messages. We can tell our cat and dog felt safe and loved with her :) Mollie (dog) had lots of exercise and play time, and she expertly took care of Peanut (cat) when he got a bit of a runny bum. The house was super tidy/clean when we returned and I couldn't recommend her enough!
Refreshing to come home to animals well cared for and a clean and tidy house. Jen Maree was an excellent housesitter, flexible and understanding when we had to delay our flight home too.
There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
