HOLLY

Hello I'm Holly.

I'm a mature, responsible business owner and an experienced, trustworthy housesitter. I'm also an excellent communicator and problem-solver. Perhaps most importantly, I'm gentle and intuitive around animals.

About Me: I have run my own leadership coaching business for 15 years, working with senior leaders in corporates across Australia, NZ, and Asia. Fortunately, these days, I can do this from home.

I'm passionate about the natural world and love bushwalks, ocean swimming, kayaking, and exploring wild spaces. I'm a keen gardener and happy to help gardens flourish while you're away.

I'm highly organised, clean and tidy, non-smoker and respectful of homeowner's property and belongings.

My dog: I live with Finley, a 3-year-old Cavalier King Charles x Cavoodle. Finn will accompany me on my house-sitting adventures. Finn is a gentle, well-socialised dog who has a calming effect on both people and animals. He is low-shedding and desexed. He only barks to tell me someone is at the house.

My sitting experience:
- House, pet, and farm-sat for friends in northern NSW on several occasions since 2018 (4 to 6-week stays). Responsibilities included: Caring for two cattle dogs and a small herd of cattle, checking fences, watering gardens, and pool maintenance.
- House-sat on an off-grid property in the northern rivers, caring for a small cattle dog and a pugalier over 9 months (3-4 nights at a time). Lawn mowing and tending to a vegetable patch.
- Currently sitting two cheeky cavoodles on the NSW coast
- Grew up on a farm caring for various animals, including dogs, cats, horses, sheep, geese, and chickens.
- Experience fostering greyhounds and volunteering at dog rescues
- Skilled in administering medication to dogs and providing companion animal first aid
