Former teacher

65, retired / online masters student

I am a fit 65 year old woman who enjoys reading, walking, swimming and spending time outdoors or in nature. I am also currently studying an online Masters degree in writing.

I have travelled and lived in many countries but settled in Australia over twenty years ago. As a retired teacher I have decided to move around and see more of Australia but currently am exploring Western Australia. Always preferring to be part of a community rather than just a tourist, house-sitting seems to me to be an ideal way to do this.

I love animals and enjoy being around them, and I have both owned and fostered many cats and dogs over the years, as well as looking after chickens and a pair of goats some years ago. I have owned two homes so understand what is required to keep a house and garden well maintained. I am well organised, very clean and tidy, and would take care of any place I live in to a very high standard. I am also happy to do some light gardening or other outdoor jobs.

I can supply an up to date police check and verifiable references.

Lynne was a fantastic sitter. She took care of our home and pets while we went to NZ for 2weeks. Sent me updates with photos of our pup out on walks etc.. which made us at ease. Even our grumpy cat seemed to have a good time, which he doesn't usually warm to strangers straight away. House was nice and clean when we arrived back. Would definitely recommend Lynne!
 
NIKKI (Lake Coogee WA, Jun 2022 - 2 weeks)
Lynne was fabulous. Her care of both our 2 dogs and the house was exceptional. We came home from our holiday to 2 very happy dogs and a spotlessly clean house. We highly recommend Lynne to anyone requiring a sitter.
 
GAIL AND JOHN (Mt Helena WA, Jul 2024 - 1 month 2 weeks)

MARTENA (Mindarie WA, Jun 2024 - 1 week)
Lynne took great care of our house and dog during our 3 week trip. Our dog is reactive and anxious and needs some gentle love and attention and Lynne was excellent with him and changes in his routine. Our house also had some unexpected issues while we were gone, which Lynne dealt with calmly, for which we were very grateful!
 
CAITLIN (Broadwater WA WA, Jun 2024 - 3 weeks)
Lynne was fantastic and we highly recommend her for house sitting. Everything was perfect and our pets were well cared for.
 
FIONNUALA (Parkerville WA, May 2024 - 1 week 5 nights)
Lynne was fantastic. Updates were always sent through of our pet leaving us at ease. House was left immaculate and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a housitter.
 
BROOKE (Jindalee WA, Apr 2024 - 4 weeks)
I met with Lynne prior to confirming the house sit so she could meet the dog and be comfortable with caring for her. It was a great meet and greet and I was reassured that the dog and property would be well cared for. While I was away Lynne was in contact with any concerns but all went well. I would happily use Lynne again. Thank you
 
SANDRA (Stratham WA, Apr 2024 - 1 week)
Lynne was fantastic. She carefully guided our cavoodle through some uncertainty with us being away and he was happy and relaxed on our return. The photos Lynne sent of him were a real treat and communications were regular and clear. The garden was in better state than when we left and the house was immaculate, with everything as we left it. Thank you, Lynne!
 
MELINDA (North Coogee WA, Mar 2024 - 2 weeks)
Could not fault Lynn at all. Was easy to deal with and communicate with, regular updates regarding our rather energetic dog and the house was clean and tidy apon return. Highly recommend.
 
TOM (Trigg WA, Dec 2023 - 1 week 4 nights)
Lynne was a lovely, kind housesitter and we feel fortunate to have had her stay. Happy to recommend her. She exercised our active Kelpie and sent us updates and photo's along the way. Thank you Lynne.
 
CHRISSIE (Kalamunda WA, Jul 2023 - 1 week 6 nights)
We have no hesitation in recommending Lynne as a house sitter and we would certainly use her again. She looked after our dog and provided regular updates, She also took our dog to the vet to have some sutures removed from an op she had prior to us going on holiday. How home was well looked after and nice and tidy upon our return.
 
JOHN AND SUE (COOGEE WA, Jun 2023 - 1 week 5 days)
Lynne did a brilliant job housesitting for us recently. On initially meeting Lynne I immediately felt confident and comfortable that she would be a trustworthy and reliable house/pet sitter. As we were off-grid for most of our 2 week holiday, Lynne was able to liaise with my daughter, which she did from time to time. Lynne looked after our cat Snickers (who can be a little demanding) perfectly. On our return Snickers was healthy and happy, the house was lovely and clean. It was a pleasure to ... MORE
 
KATE (North Beach WA, Apr 2023 - 2 weeks)
Lynne was a fabulous house sitter. My home was in pristine condition when I returned and my kitten was relaxed and happy. Communication was great and I have booked Lynne again.
 
SHERIDEN (Dalyellup WA, Mar 2023 - 1 week)
Lynne was a fantastic house sitter. She looked after our house, garden and dog extremely well. She communicated quickly with us and came to meet us and our dog prior to the house sitting date. I have no hesitation in recommending Lynne and would happily have her back.
 
ANGELA (Trigg WA, Dec 2022 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Lynne took excellent care of our home and pets. Lynne kept in communication with us whilst away even though we had limited phone reception. We came home to a lovely clean home and happy pets. Would happily recommend Lynne.
 
SHAYNA (Serpentine WA, Jul 2022 - 12 days)
Wow, this was our first house sitting experience so we were somewhat nervous about it all but we couldn't be more happy and blown away by just how amazing Lynne was. She was in contact with us leading up to and throughout the sit keeping us up to date on all the happenings with our pets and home. Our gardens were flourishing beautifully and our home was immaculate when we arrived home. Honestly, I can't thank Lynne enough for taking such amazing care of our home and pets.
 
KELLY (Golden Bay WA, Oct 2021 - 2 weeks 1 day)
It was a pleasure to house-sit for Kelly, her family and delightful pets. A lovely home and garden in a lovely location. Kelly is a great communicator, helpful and very appreciative. The dogs are very sweet, enthusiastic and lots of fun. I would definitely recommend.
