Long term house sitter

51, Administration

Hi and thank you for stopping on my profile.

I have been house and pet sitting on a full-time basis for several years now. This includes extremely large homes, small homes, pools, extensive gardens, exotic pets, multiple pets at once, or no pets, cyclone prone areas etc.

My first goal is for you to have zero anxiety about your home and pets while you are away. My second goal is to have you walk in your door after being away and have you concede that everything is in better shape than when you left. To date, I have never disappointed.

I have been known to execute total garden makeovers for sits greater than 4 months - with the home owner always being delighted in the final product.

I am local to Cairns and work full-time office hours, therefore, if you're wanting someone to be home all day, I'm probably not the sitter for you because I need to go to work. On the weekends though, I'm home and thoroughly enjoy pottering around in the garden and taking the pets to their favorite places to visit.

I bring many of my own items with me, such as some gardening equipment (including whipper snipper), my own bed linen and my favorite kitchen items.

I'm also open to negotiate contributing towards utility bills for sits that are greater than 2 months long and all depending on how much work is involved in taking care of the home, garden, pool, pets etc.

I do prefer homes that are well organised, clean, non smoking and can provide off-street covered parking.

Please note that unfortunately, I'm not booking house sits less than 3 weeks in duration.

Rather than waffle on here, please do take a look at my reviews as I feel this is the best way for you to be reassured that you are choosing the right person in me.

I would love to meet you and your fury friends and we can leave it up to your pets to decide if I am the one for them.

We could not have been happier with the care and love Janet put into looking after our house and garden. She was in constant communication and followed our wishes to the letter. She even managed to track down and eradicate a pest in our garden that had us baffled before we left home. The garden is in fact healthier than when we left. Our house was also immaculate. In the entire time we were away never once did we have any anxiety regarding our home because we knew it was in excellent ... MORE

Janet has looked after my home and garden for 10 weeks. She happily accommodated a short return for 3 days before then coming back for another week and this time also looked after my dog, Ringo. My home looked so lovely on my return I had to take a photo of it as I was so thrilled with how lovely it looked. I could tell you that - - My house was cared for beautifully and was immaculate on my return -My Garden was looking great - she even planted some sunflowers and mulched ( with ... MORE

Janet was a great house sitter. I recommend her very highly. She managed the house, the garden and my car. I would be very happy to have her sit my house anytime!
 
LUCIA (West End QLD, Mar 2024 - 3 months 2 weeks)
Confirming Janet Schneider sat our house for 4 months from March 2023, while we enjoyed a caravanning holiday. Janet kept our house and yard immaculately clean and tidy. Janet's respect and care for our home was most evident. On our return, we were greeted with a couple of personal gifts and necessities. Freshly baked muffins, a loaf of bread, milk and a 6 pack of beer in the fridge. Lovely touches! While we were travelling, Janet's communication with us was excellent; regular ... MORE

We were so lucky to have Janet looking after our pets again! She is always our first contact when we are looking for a house and a petsitter, hoping she is available. I always leave home knowing that my home and pets are in safe and loving hands and this time was no exemption. Janet is very trustworthy and overall amazing person! And my pets love her

We were so pleased to meet Janet, she had us relaxed from the minute we met, the animals loved her and we will see her again. I can highly recommend Janet as a very trustworthy, clean, respectful and delightful person for looking after any animals and your home. I look forward to our next meet.

Janet was fabulous with our furbabies and our home. We received lovely photos and videos of our animals throughout our time away. We arrived back to a clean home and a fresh bottle of milk (no early run to get some). Will definitely have Janet back anytime.
 
NATALIE (Townsville QLD, Aug 2022 - 3 weeks)
Janet took amazing care of my home, extensive garden and my much loved dog. She kept me updated with many beautiful videos of Tilly, my dog, her walks and beach visits and playing in my yard. She loved being with Janet. Some videos were made especially for my grandchildren, which was very special. A slide show of my dog and garden clearly showed how well cared for my home was gave me great confidence in how it would look on my return. My home and yard were immaculate-so important to returning ... MORE

We were so lucky to have Janet looking after our pets and the house. Communication with her before the petsit was so easy and she took the time to meet the pets and ask questions about them and the house. Throughout her stay, she sent us daily updates on our pets, including videos, which we loved. Needless to say the animals adored her and the house was spotless on our return. She even dropped us off to airport and picked us up. If you want someone who is experienced and attentive with your ... MORE
