I am a primary school teacher, non smoker, and healthy. I am based in Hervey Bay. I am on leave for 2024: house and pet sitting, while I wait for the settlement date of my new home. I return to full-time work from January 2025. I was born and raised in Hervey Bay but for the last 30 years raised my family and taught full-time on the Gold Coast. I have used Aussie Housesitters to solo travel the east coast of Australia. I house/farm sat for 2 - 6 week periods, a wide variety of domestic pets and farm animals. I prefer to meet you and your pets beforehand to establish a trusting bond, so you can relax and enjoy your time away, knowing that your pets are being lovingly cared for. Ongoing, open and honest communication is the key. Thank you for considering me. Kind Regards Carmel.

Carmel was an amazing sitter! Can not recommend her enough! She had fantastic communication whilst we were away. House was immaculate when we got home and pets were so well looked after.
Carmel was the best sitter for our beloved pooch, fish and hermit crabs.
She kept us well inform on how everyone was going and my son loved the videos of his pooch as he was missing him very much
The house was well kept and clean and tidy when we came home.
She was an absolute to have staying at our house and I would love to have you back next time.
Thank you Carmel xoxo

I will have no problem asking for Carmel again what a delightful lady she is.Thank you for everything Carmel.

Carmel was an amazing house sitter!! She was so great with with our pets, highly recommend
What a wonderful communicator. We had photos and news regularly of our loved ones and our home and gardens were as we left them in pristine condition. Carmel went above and beyond what we expected and we would highly recommend her as a fantastic house sitter.
We had never left our house or dog with anyone before, and we were nervous and concerned about doing so. Carmel had done a few local pet / house sits and we were assured by the house, pet owners that she would do a great job and she did.
We received photos and videos and phone calls from Carmel along the way and we could see that our dog and house was being well looked after. I think Carmel and Pippa both enjoyed each other's company. We would recommend Carmel and we would certainly use ... MORE
A big thanks to Carmel for looking after our home and garden on two separate occasions in March and April. We were happy with Carmel's communications including appropriate photos (we loved the family photos of your Mum's birthday) taken in our home. We would be happy to reference back to Carmel for any future housesitting "job" particularly given the mutually convenient location for both parties. We were totally satisfied with all aspects of home and garden care and thank Carmel for attending ... MORE
After our first meeting with Carmel prior to her house and pet sitting for us, we were confident that our boy Monty would be very well cared for and loved. Our initial thoughts were confirmed upon our return when people kept asking us where Carmel was and commenting on how well Monty had been looked after while we were away. Thank you Carmel for your videos and messages letting us know how are boy was going. Awesome job from an awesome lady.
Carmel exceeded my expectations in looking after my precious cat Daisy. Communication was great - Carmel kept me up to date with Daisy's care and really seemed to enjoy looking after her.
I returned home to a very contented cat and a beautifully clean apartment.
I can highly recommend Carmel for any future housesits and do hope she is available when we venture off on another adventure.
Thankyou Carmel!
Carmel was an absolute delight. She bonded immediately with our two precious Cavvies and sent us numerous videos and updates during our time away. We came back to a beautifully clean and tidy house and happy furkids. Highly recommended!
Carmel was the best Housesitter ever!! She was attentive with my kitty and left the house sparkling. She’s just the best. Thanks Carmel.
Carmel did an amazing job caring for our poodle, birds, home and extensive garden. The house was spotless when we got home with all pets and plants happy. Carmel was a great communicator providing regular updates and followed all instructions provided. Thank you Carmel for a great sitting experience .
Carmel was an awesome housesitter, easy to communicate with, looked after the house well & the cats loved her straight away, even the shy one. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
Carmel was a delightful house sitter. She kept the house vey clean and tidy and gave my pets heaps of love and care. I felt very lucky to have her looking after things for me while I was away.
If we could always guarantee Carmel would be around to take care of our house and our cat, we would forever be on holiday (we’d probably also need a stack of cash to be on a forever holiday!). Carmel was perfect from beginning through end. So thoughtful in all interactions, clean, so communicative, and a general warm and kind person! Look no further for your next house sitter, she is everything you could ever dream of! Thank you Carmel for looking after Bilbo, we appreciated everything you did ... MORE
Carmel communicated regularly, loved our pets as if they were her own and left everything clean and tidy. She is by far the best pet sitter we have had!
Carmel was an absolute pleasure to deal with. She took such good care of my cats while I was away and left the house exactly as she found it. It was great knowing I had nothing to worry about. Thanks again Carmel! I wish you all the best of on your travels.
Carmel was the best house sitter we could have asked for. She looked after our house (including helping us fix garage door issues!) and our two dogs so well. She kept us updated on their progress and sent us lots of photos and videos. Our pups absolutely loved her. Highly recommend!
Carmel proved excellent in all respects of pet/house sitting. The house was immaculately tidy and clean. More importantly, our cavoodle, was pampered in every way. Jake had twice daily walks along the beach, and Carmel also kept him company throughout her stay. I highly recommend Carmel as a house and pet sitter. I believe you would be very lucky if you are able to secure her services.
Carmel gave me a worry free holiday. She went above and beyond to ensure my fur babies were taken care of. I think they got more love from her than me. Lucky puppies. I came home to a spotless home and two happy puppies. You will not go wrong with having Carmel look after your home and fur babies. Thank you again Carmel, I wish you were available for my December dates. Pawfect house and pet sitter.
This was the first time that I had used a house sitting service and I consider myself very fortunate to have chosen Carmel.
The standard of care that she gave to my dog (Harvey) was exceptional with a veterinary visit and after care being necessary on top of the regular walks etcetera.
Carmel kept me informed of Harvey's progress throughout my 6 week trip and I have returned to a very healthy and happy dog.
Carmel also did an incredible job with the housekeeping and went beyond any ... MORE
Carmel was absolutely perfect as a house and pet sitter for the time we were away. She kept in regular contact, the house was kept spotlessly clean, and our fur babies were obviously well cared for in our absence, I would have no hesitation recommending Carmel.
Carmel was a wonderful house and pet sitter. Her lovely positive energy was obvious from our first contact. I couldn't have asked for a better person to look after Rusty. Carmel kept in touch and sent photos to update me on how things were going. I have no hesitation in recommending her as a sitter. Rusty clearly felt very comfortable with her.
Carmel was a wonderful house-sitter and I would definitely recommend her to other homeowners. She looked after our house and animals beautiful. We didnt have to worry about a thing while we were away, we received photos of our happy animals, and we came home to a wonderfully spotless house. Thanks so much Carmel and hope to see you again.
We highly recommend house-sitter Carmel. When we returned from our Christmas holiday our house was immaculate and our dog Lola was happy and healthy. We would be happy to invite Carmel to house-sit for us again.
With a house sitter looking after your pets, house and garden - you can really relax. Happy days.
