55+, Retired teacher

Annette and I recently retired after 40yrs of teaching in a range of schools and higher institutions within NSW.

After selling our small, mixed farm we have been enjoying travelling widely throughout Australia competing a wide range of house and farm sits. In this time we have looked after many houses, small holdings and associated infrastructure, gardens and a diverse range of pets and farm animals.

We do not travel with a caravan so some suitable onsite accommodations need to be available. We are very clean and neat people in our living and are very respectful of the home owner’s property.

We do travel with a young pet KelpieX dog who is well trained and loves having the opportunity to meet and play with the animals we are caring for. These have included large and small dogs, cats, free range poultry, cows, goats, pet pig and horses. Her favourite game is playing fetch, swimming and going for walks.

We can provide Police Checks, references and reviews from a wide range of previous sits as requested.

Regards

Thankyou for your kind words, it was our pleasure to look after such a lovely pair of cats, beautiful Spring garden and comfortable home. We also achieved our goal in exploring the Otway and Great Ocean Road area of Australia, thank you for allowing us that opportunity.
Neil and Annette were awesome from when they accepted to the last day, even a welcome home lunch! They took excellent care of our two furry boys and the house and gardens were beautiful. Communication was satisfactory and not too much but enough to assure us that the boys were fine.
