Mel

We are currently travelling around Australia for a few years and looking to housesit occasionally. We love dogs which is why we are travelling with our lazy, arthritic, 8 year old female yellow Labrador.
We are fine to look after multiple animals including large dogs.
We are very capable in the garden but I'd say we love pets more than we like gardening. Gardening is not something we like to spend big hours doing but we used to have a few acres in Yallingup so we have plenty of experience with ride on mowers, bores, header tanks, and large scale irrigation set ups. Obviously we look after our own garden at home too, including fish ponds, lawns and retic.
We have a bit of experience looking after pools as one of our rental properties has a pool, but I wouldn't say we know a lot about maintaining a pool.
I'm not sure what else there is to say. We are fairly relaxed people so if there is anything else you want to know, don't hesitate to ask.

We are fairly fit and healthy people so maintaining your dogs walking routine is no issue.

Our lab is on a number of medications for her joints, including injections so we have plenty of experience with taking care of pets which need additional medical attention.

Happy to provide police clearances etc on request
We can provide contact details for the previous housesits we have done in case you would like to contact them directly, or you can just read the references on our profile

We are non smokers
