I have looked after many people's homes over the last few years across Melbourne, in between renting, and can provide several references to attest to my almost obsessive sense of order (!), my belief in respecting people's belongings, maintaining the utmost security, and ensuring plants are maintained, and that animals are very happy. I tend to work from home a lot so feel this is good for the security of your home as well as your animals.

I very much enjoy my course and take it seriously as I intend to eventually (hopefully!) complete a PHD in my chosen field. I am an experienced housesitter and have looked after a few pets at a time. I adore animals, am tidy and take a lot of pride in the environment in which I dwell. I am looking forward to spending some quiet time catching up on some literature! |
