Hi!
I am a 58-year-old single woman embarking on an exciting adventure around the country. I enjoy the opportunity to house, plant, and pet sit, whether I’m in the area or traveling to a location near my intended route.

I bring a strong background in finance, bookkeeping, and management accounting, having held roles that required a high level of responsibility, organization, and trustworthiness. Throughout my career, I’ve managed complex tasks, maintained meticulous attention to detail, and earned a reputation for reliability—all qualities I now bring to caring for your home, pets, and plants.

I’m also currently studying a Diploma of Counselling and a Certificate IV in Mental Health, reflecting my commitment to personal growth and my passion for supporting others—including our beloved animal companions!

In the past, I shared my life with three wonderful Bearded Collies, who I showed and adored, and a Rag Doll cat who kept me on my toes. Although they’ve now passed on, they travel with me in spirit. I’ve also raised chickens (Wyandottes, Brahmas, Orpingtons, Sussex, and an ISA) and ducks (Pekins), so I’m well-versed in their care and quirks.

I love to utilize house-sitting time to embrace home cooking, whether it’s whipping up a semifreddo, a hearty quiche, or experimenting with seasonal ingredients. For me, creating delicious meals is one of life’s joys.

I’m happy to care for almost any pet or home environment—though I draw the line at snakes!

I’m always happy to discuss potential opportunities that align with my journey.

With years of experience in responsible professional roles, and a lifetime of caring for pets and properties, I will treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

Let’s chat about how I can help care for your home, pets, and plants with the same love and attention they deserve!
