Writer / Policy Officer

I am a professional writer, animal lover and experienced housesitter.
I have been housesitting for few years now since returning from 2 years away in Central America working for an NGO.
I've cared for many animals - old and young cats and dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, chooks, tropical fish, sheep and llamas -shared the bed with some, given medication to others and fallen in love with many. I have also kept many plants and small gardens alive and well.
Housesitting has been a great and enjoyable way for me to relearn Melbourne and restore some savings after earning local wages overseas.
In my spare time I like to walk, ideally somewhere green and with furry company, practice Spanish, cook, meditate, and read fiction or about architecture.
I am happy to answer any questions you may have about me or housesitting generally and hope to help with your housesitting needs soon.

Susanne was so incredible easy to deal with, right from the first conversation, (this was my first time with house-sitters), through the time we were away, and upon our return. She was so friendly, and happy to take time to meet us and Cosmo before we went away. While we were away we were totally confident that Cosmo was in good hands, as well as the house. She updated us with a few photos over the period, Cosmo really took to her! When we arrived home the house was lovely and clean, and ... MORE

Susanne looked after my pets ok, however there was a lack of communication and the house wasn't quite left the way it was found, a bit more attention to cleaning would have been appreaciated.
 
LINDA (Woodend VIC, Sep 2024 - 3 nights)
How strange. In my many years of sitting I’ve not received this feedback. That said, I did advise that I was unwell. And despite the fact that it was pouring with rain when I left, I put extra food out for the birds as requested. It was not possible to muck out shed again due to weather. It was my ... MORE
Susanne was a fabulous house and pet sitter and I have no hesitation in recommending her. My house was tidy, the garden watered and my pets had obviously been very well cared for. Susanne also kept me updated with pictures and communication was excellent. I would be very happy for Susanne to do return visits.
 
JUDY (Ocean Grove VIC, Oct 2019 - 3 weeks)
Susanne looked after my English staffie Ruby for 3 1/2 weeks whilst I was overseas. Susanne is a prompt and friendly communicator and it was a pleasure to meet her prior to locking in our sitting arrangement. We clicked and it was straightforward to ensure we were on the same page around care for Ruby and the house. I felt a good level of trust with Susanne and so could head away on leave with no concerns. I got update photos of Ruby whilst I was away, which I always appreciated. The house was ... MORE

Susanne did a fantastic job of looking after our house, our cat Stella and our temporary foster cat Ralphie. Lovely to come back to a clean and tidy house and happy cats. Thank you Susanne!
 
GEORGIE (Balaclava VIC, Oct 2018 - 3 weeks 5 days)
Susanne was a perfect mature person to house and dog sit. My dog was happy and house clean and tidy, could not wished for better. I hope she can do this for me again in the future. I highly recommend her.
 
SINIKKA (Brighton East VIC, Aug 2018 - 1 month 2 weeks)
No rating Recently Susanne looked after our home and cat for 14 days whilst we travelled interstate. From the beginning, Susanne was responsive and a pleasure to deal with. She was flexible, reliable and happy to water the potted plants. Whilst we were away, she did a magnificent job looking after the house and our beloved cat. The cat responded positively to Susanne and Susanne's calm, considered disposition was reassuring and a great asset. We would welcome Susanne back anytime and very highly ... MORE
DIANE (Glen Iris VIC, Jul 2018 - 2 weeks)
No rating Susanne is a great house sitter, she looked after our pet rabbit, chickens and guinea pigs which require significant animal rangling skills.
SALLY (Northcote VIC, Jun 2018 - 3 weeks)
No rating We used Susanne as a house sitter for a month in May 2018. We were very happy when we arrived home to see all four fish alive and well, the mail in neat piles, the indoor plant thriving and the house looking extremely neat and tidy
MICKY (Camberwell VIC, Apr 2018 - 4 weeks)
No rating Susanne was a fantastic House Sitter who looked after our garden, home and Kelpie. I felt really comfortable leaving everything in Susanne's hands and when we got home Bea (the dog) had put on weight and was obviously very relaxed and happy. And the garden survived. Would have Susanne back anytime!!
SANDRA (Yapeen VIC, Jan 2018 - 1 week 3 days)
No rating Susanne held the fort at our place for two weeks and was a reliable and fuss-free house sitter, collecting the mail and watering the plants.
EMILY (Coburg VIC, Oct 2017 - 1 week 5 days)
No rating Susanne cared for our home and elderly dog in September 2017 for 3 weeks. Prior to her stay, we found Susanne to be courteous and thorough in her communication with us and keenly aware of elderly dog requirements. We contacted Susanne a few times during our trip and always received a prompt reply, despite a lack of coverage during some parts of our travels. We returned to a clean home and a happy dog. The muffins were an added bonus and terrific for hungry kids for when we arrived ... MORE
