Gaz

72, Retired handy man/carpenter

Hi, I'm a 72 year old Australian retired handyman/carpenter/truck driver & traveller & non-smoker.
I have varied housesitting/pet sitting experience, mainly through word-of-mouth recommendations, looking after dogs, cats and parrots, fish, cattle & horses.
I have a current Police Check & a Working With Children Check.
I grew up on a dairy farm with all kinds of animals and have worked as a carpenter, a sales rep, truck driver & even a postie. Also ran a small Cafe in the 1970s.
I get along well with animals & they like me as well.
I'm a non-smoker.. and only an occasional beverage & rarely more than 2 alcoholic beverages in a week.
I've not long returned from an extended trip to visit family overseas.
I'm a very neat and tidy person.
I have good references as well.
Call me for a chat & if close enough, a meet up will certainly put you at ease.

Gaz was a joy to have in our house. I think our dog Sheeran wishes he'd taken him with him. We are so appreciative of the great job he did keeping our animals (and plants) alive. The house was spotless, sheets were washed and cleaned. Very happy!

Thanks so much for the kind words & trusting me to care for your lovely home/property. Yes, I adored Sheeran ..such a delight to have for company and Lola was always up for attention as well. Fresh eggs were a bonus ...soooo many eggs 😆 🤣. I'll come back anytime I'm needed. 😊
Gary, was great, looking after our house and pets. I have no hesitations in recommending Gary. The next time we need a house sitter will definitely be calling on Gary

Thank you for making me so welcome into your home and trusting me with the care of your lovely home, Toby & Molly. ❤️
We would highly recommend Gary! His communication was excellent before and during the sit. We received lots of photos of our dogs out and about enjoying life and when we arrived home the house was spotless and the dogs were completely happy and satisfied. Everything we could have asked for!

Thank you for your kind words Ellen, it was a pleasure caring for the "hounds".
Gary was an awesome house sitter. Communicated really well and sent lots of photos of my cats , dealt with my anxiety about being away from them and looked after the house perfectly. I highly recommend him for your housesit. The cats loved him too! Thanks Gary!
