Ultimate Housesitting

40s, Lawyer

Hello!

Clean, responsible, and security conscious, I am the ultimate house sitter, who will care for your home and pets as though they are my own while you are away...

A bit about myself: I am a non smoker, with a degree and work in professional roles. I am also fully vaccinated against covid.

House proud: I am clean, considerate and responsible. I am also a homeowner and enjoy watering gardens, keeping houses spick and span, and ensuring properties are well maintained generally...

Security: As a former public servant, I have been thoroughly security vetted, and can provide an up to date police check for your peace of mind.

Love Animals: I am an experienced pet owner, particularly of rescued strays, and love cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, blue tongue lizards and other creatures great and small. I love animals and enjoy caring for pets generally. See the 'blissed out cat' photos above in particular!

References: Happy to provide referee details of people who have known me for years and can vouch for my good character, trustworthiness and strong track record looking after and respecting other people's homes and possessions.

Some of my interests (outside house sitting) include dancing, french language, and spending time with friends and family.

I look forward to meeting you...

Josie was a good housesitter, we will ask her to sit again later in the year.
 
PAULINE & COLIN (Bega NSW, Mar 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
Thank you so much for this great review. I look forward to house sitting for you both again later in the year. :)
Josie and Rowena cared for our two Burmese cats over the Christmas break, allowing us to spend the holidays with family. They were great house sitters - regularly keeping in touch and providing updates. The house was left very tidy on our return, and a lovely gift left for us, as well as milk in the fridge :) It's always great to know your pets are well cared for when you're away - I would highly recommend Josie.
 
MELANIE (Moss Vale NSW, Dec 2023 - 1 week 3 nights)
Thankyou Melanie for the lovely review.
Jo an her mother looked after our house, pets, chooks and fish in the Adelaide Hills (One Tree Hill) for about 10 days in May 2022 while my wife - Robyn and I went on a caravan holiday. They were fantastic in every respect, great communication, respectful, honest, trustworthy and reliable. We had dinner with them at home on their 1st night and again 0n their last night - great company and very interesting and so easy to get along with. We had daily updates and lots of photos of the pets / ... MORE
 
DANNY (One Tree Hill SA, May 2022 - 1 week 3 days)
Thank you so much Danny and Robyn for this lovely review. We greatly appreciate it!
Jo and her mum, Rowena housesat for us and we couldn't have been happier with them. We have 4 pets that were thoroughly well cared for and we were given updates and pictures on a daily basis. We returned to happy pets, a very clean house and plants thriving! It was so lovely to be able to go away, knowing our pets and home were cared for. They also left us with a fridge full of food and extensive notes about the house and animals. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jo as a house sitter ... MORE
 
DEBORAH (Orange NSW, Dec 2021 - 1 week 4 days)
Thankyou Deb. We really appreciate your lovely review.
Josie and her Mum were fantastic!!! They truly looked after every aspect of our house and our cat just adores them both. We loved receiving regular updates and photos (sometimes a few times a day). The house was left in an immaculate state with a full list of what had been cleaned and a wonderful surprise of a fruit and cheese platter left for us. Highly recommend Josie and her mum to anyone!!!
 
SARAH (Bathurst NSW, Dec 2021 - 5 days)
Thankyou Sarah. This lovely review is greatly appreciated.
Josie and her mum travelled a great distance to care for our menagerie and home. They were fantastic, our pets were spoilt, Josie regularly sent us pictures of them. In addition they were very house-proud, our house was left spotless. It was great to meet and talk over a BBQ dinner the night before we departed. Lovely, genuine people who went that extra yard. Thanks Jo & Rowena
 
GUY (Coomealla NSW, May 2021 - 1 week 5 days)
Thankyou for the lovely review. This is greatly appreciated. ☺️
Jo and her mum looked after my house and dog for 10 days. They did a terrific job. They sent me photos every day and left the house spick and span. Best of all they left me little treats. They are kind, gentle quiet people.... I highly recommend them.
 
TANYA (Moss Vale NSW, Feb 2021 - 1 week 1 day)
We would have no hesitation in recommending Jo to house sit and care for your pets. Our house was left cleaner than we left it, plants were well looked after and our cat is happy, healthy and was well pampered. Thank you so much Jo we couldn't have asked for more.
 
KARIN (Fraser ACT, Sep 2019 - 2 weeks)
Josie is fantastic. She looked after our cats and home whilst we were away and we are very happy. She sent many pics of our fur babies whilst we were away and the cats were so settled and happy when we returned. They were spoilt with affection and attention. She was fabulous with them. The house was also in excellent condition when we returned and had been fully cleaned. Josie also looked out for and advised us of some security issues whilst we were away. It was comforting to know that ... MORE
 
KAT (Queanbeyan NSW, Aug 2019 - 1 month 1 week)
Josie was fantastic, she kept me up to date with her movements, made sure I had plenty of photos of my animals and did a great job of tidying/cleaning my house for my arrival home. Her personal touches like making sure there was milk in the fridge and fruit in my fruit bowl were greatly appreciated, particularly after a long day of travelling. I highly recommend Josie and would gladly have her house sit again.
 
EVELYN (Monash ACT, Jul 2019 - 3 days)
Jo has been a great sitter with regular e-mails containing POP (Proof of Pampering) of my demanding fur child. Lots of spring cleaning tasks done which was a great welcome home. Even milk in the fridge, flowers on the table and the heater on for my return on a cold Canberra night. Very thoughtful and great communication.
 
ANNETTE (Theodore ACT, May 2019 - 2 months)
Josie house sat for us for 2 weeks caring for our elderly cat and avery of birds. While away we received photos of our kitty cat & avery of birds. It was reassuring to see them comfortable and interacting with Josie, we were also kept up to date on the 'duties' being completed as we had requested... such as watering of garden beds & pots & waste bins collected etc. We came home to a very tidy & clean home, a welcome home gift and note. Josie had washed all the linen used during her stay ... MORE
 
FELICITY (Fraser ACT, Feb 2019 - 2 weeks)
Jo stayed in my home, looking after my 2 cuties for 2 weeks. Whilst away she fed me photos of my cats being humbled & nurtured. Jo maintained my home in extreme wet weather & discussed any needs directly with my landlords allowing me to have my working holiday away. My home was tended to also with care & a special Jo touch. Thanks Jo!! Very grateful :-)
 
TERRI (Bilgola Plateau NSW, Oct 2018 - 1 week 5 days)
No rating Josie took good care of our home and gardens. The chickens and budgies were very well looked after. We would recommend Josie for any house sitting job. we will keep her in mind with our future travels.
