PuffinPie

64, Retired Teacher

I am a retired Canadian teacher, who is very keen to cuddle your cats, canines and any other loveable pets you might have.

With an extensive background in the Girl Guide organization, I am respectful of others, of their belongings and, of course, their lovely pets and homes. I'm a responsible non-smoker and not a partier in the least!

I am an avid bird watcher and photographer. I enjoy the out-of-doors, walking, camping and exploring nature!

I caught the travelling "bug" years ago and have discovered that house and pet-sitting is a terrific way to enjoy the many special places in beautiful Australia, and also to spend time with lovely animals. I've been escaping the Canadian winters since 2012 (until Covid hit and sent me scurrying home from NSW in 2020). I'm so thrilled to be back for more fun!

I've gained plenty of experience pet-sitting over the past eleven years in France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, England, Spain, French Polynesia, Italy, Austria, the USA, Canada, New Zealand and all over Australia. I've travelled to all of your states and have even driven across the Nullarbor!

Over the years, I have been delighted to meet and love more than 60 dogs, 23 cats, 19 alpaca, 4 pigs, 2 Shetland ponies, 5 guinea pigs, 11 horses, 2 hilarious goats, Doc and Bashful and 2 cows named Ribeye and T-Bone! I've cared for a ton of sheep, turkeys, chooks, some entertaining geese, finches and parrots, more than a dozen rabbits, four turtles and a "dook" in the Yorkshire Dales! I even hatched a baby quail in an incubator in New Zealand! You can see that I am experienced in cuddling and caring for animals, and that I love to have lots of fun with them!

I CAN PROVIDE REFERENCES AND A CLEAR POLICE CHECK IS ALSO AVAILABLE.

My family has always included pets. Over the years I've loved my own precious pussycat sisters, Puffin & Orca, a long-eared Basset Hound, and a very quiet turtle.

I have a car in Australia so am able to get to you without any problems.

I will treat your animals and your home like the treasures they are!

I just knew Trish would be a fabulous sitter from the pre-communication ! Every question was asked - and all care taken. On top of this, Trish had great love for my girls and also had a lot of fun playing duck patiently hours upon hour. I returned home to a happy four, and a clean house. Just wish Trish could be here in August, as she will be number one choice for our luvvies.

Given the apparent long time experience of this sitter, we anticipated a far better result than what eventuated. At the very least we thought our dogs would be fully cared for in accordance with our requests. Sadly this was not the case.

I am shocked with this negative review. Never in 13+ yrs have I received less than outstanding reviews over 7 different platforms. House was cleaned & left as I found it. Past owners have written: “spotless”, “immaculate”, “tip top condition”. I’ve been invited back for repeat sits on 7+ ... MORE
No rating Trish and Pauline were wonderful! The best house sitters I've ever had. They were patient and gentle with my nervous dogs and regularly sent updates on how the dogs were coping. I came home to an immaculate house and a lovely meal prepared. I highly recommend them and I would welcome them back at any time.

Safe house!

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