Mark.

62, semi retired,

Hi, I'm Mark.

Originally from the Armidale, Northern NSW, worked as a Regional Building Manager in the North-West & New England tableland region re- Commercial Properties owned by the NSW State Govt for 10 years & previous to that, in various positions in the electrical industry, from trade to management.

Single, with all the children grown up, wide spread, mostly interstate. moved to the Mid North Coast area in 2014 to care for my mother full-time.
Now, would like to take the opportunity to do some traveling, explore & see more of the country.
A little part of visiting & exploring some new areas & regions, is not only because of the interest in those locations, nor just the fact of not having been before, but the possibility of new beginnings, eventually calling one of those places home, settling in & being part of a new community & location.

I grew up in country NSW, out of town, so farm animals, along with house pets have always been apart of my life, including that of my children's menagerie while at home.

I'm 61, travel alone, consider & believe myself to be honest & trustworthy, respectful & extremely tidy (non smoker), good communicator & general handyman, common sense type & have, would always certainly do the right thing by the owner(s), their home, property, pets & animals., all while taking the opportunity to look, see & explore a little more of our country & regions in which you live along the way & allowing you to relax during your holidays, travels & time away.

Look forward to hearing from you & the opportunity to look after & care for your home, property, animals & family pets,

Thanks, regards Mark

Mark did a wonderful job of house sitting for us this extended time period whilst we travelled in our motorhome. He is easy to communicate with gave regular updates on our dog Ruby and cat Jaspurr. He maintained our house to a high standard of cleanliness and looked after gardens/lawns while we away. Whilst we were away, Ruby sustained a serious leg injury (through no fault of Mark). He informed us of this ASAP and organised a vet visit. When the consultation was serious Mark drove Ruby to ... MORE

Dealing with Mark was so seamless ! We only had a few days when he accepted my house sit as it was kind of last min thing for a few days. Only one phone call to lock the arrival date and time and that was it. As discussed Mark rocked up on time , after a quick 20 min tour we literary left :-) no issues whatso ever ! House was in better nick than we gave him and the dog casey was happy as ! :-) Thanks Mark and all the best ! Highly recommend for your next house sit :-)

Mark was just marvellous! He is friendly, respectful, competent, honest, obliging and everything and more you could possibly want in a housesitter. We returned to a house that was cleaner than we left it and more importantly, a very happy dog. We enjoyed a carefree time away while Mark sent regular updates and very competently looked after our 175 acre property. This included caring for 4 horses, our herd of cattle and most importantly, Raffy, my quirky & somewhat fearful dog. ... MORE

Mark was an exceptional house sitter! He communicated so well with us during his stay, he looked after our 'girls' incredibly well & it was an absolute pleasure to come home to a perfectly clean house, manicured garden, and happy animals. I highly recommend Mark for any house sitting and hope to welcome him back again one day :)

Mark did a fantastic job of caring for my pets and home while I was away. I returned to a lovely clean house, happy dogs and a healthy garden. Mark went above and beyond; he even tidied and cleaned my garage and fixed a couple of doors while I was away. I also appreciated the photos Mark sent of my dogs while I was away. I am very pleased to recommend Mark to anyone looking for a sitter! Thanks again Mark for making my homecoming such a pleasant surprise.

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
