Rebecca (Bee) & Rick

G'day there,
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
My name is Rebecca (I'm often called Bee) and I work for Headspace. My partner’s name is Rick and he works in the renewable energy sector.
We are mature, friendly, reliable, dedicated and genuinely really enthusiastic about animals and taking care of the land. I am a teacher with a Masters in International Development and an insatiable love of all animals.
We work from home full time.
I have been privileged to care for many animals and homes as a sitter and have been house and pet sitting on and off over the last 10 years.
For most of my sits, I have used Trusted Housesitters and Mindahome- where I have nothing but five star reviews. You can also find me on Madpaws.
We pride ourselves on taking excellent care of other peoples homes, gardens and especially of course their animals.

I grew up in rural north west NSW, Australia, with every animal you can imagine (including rescue Kangaroos) but have called Sydney and the lovely South Coast home for the past decade or so while working and pursuing further study.
Subsequently, I have extensive experience with a range of animals: dogs of course, along with chooks, horses, goats etc, and some experience with stock and other farm animals.
I do not smoke and seldom drink alcohol. Same with Rick!
We aim to live sustainably and to leave minimal impact wherever we go, treating everything and everyone with respect and kindness.
I genuinely delight in cleaning and relish leaving spaces fresh and uncluttered, often, neater and cleaner than I find them. Rick fixes anything and everything, is house proud and will often complete jobs for people, with no expectation.
We are both fortunate to work full time, remotely at the moment and this allows us to continue to foster a deeply felt connection to land and ideally, get back to more rural dwellings with the unparalleled, delightful company of animals.
We love to stay in a place and get a good feel for life there, getting to know the land and the people who reside there.
My idea of heaven is a quiet coastal property (hopefully with animals for company and a few good books and maybe some vinyl if I'm really lucky).
We prefer fragrance free living (due to a medical reactivity) so I don’t use conventional toxic cleaning products, scented candles or anything like that and it is my preference that natural products are used for animals and homes.
Growing up with a range of animals and more recently taking care of our family's anxious rescue dog has given me an acute understanding of the need to find trusted, kind people who are able to competently, reliably take care of your home and pets, so that you can be away without worry.
We would love to hear from you if you think we sound like a good fit for your home and animal/s and welcome any questions of course.
With kindness,
Bee and Rick
