Retired non-smoking lady, mature, honest, dependable, quite and independent. I enjoy meeting new people and dealing with new situations. I live in the ACT, Australia but grew up in New Zealand on a dairy / poultry farm. I enjoy activities such as travel, gardening, swimming and walks along the beach or the bush. I am a widow and have two adult children; a daughter (business manager) and a son (engineer) plus 2 grandchildren (daughter's children).
I have a female cousin (retired teacher) who joins me from time to time on these adventures.
Available to house sit in Europe and UK from February 2016 until February 2018.
Why I want to house sit
I enjoy meeting new people, their furry families and the new friends you make along the way. It is also a great way to discover new places whether in Australia or overseas.
My experience
I own my own home (plus 2 rental properties) and am accustomed to dealing with repair and maintenance issues, plus I am a keen gardener. I have housesitting experience and find these experiences rewarding as the animals have all been a delight to care for. I always had pets as a child and while my children were young we had cats and dogs. My housesits have included cats, dogs, birds (parrots) and tropical fish.

Gwaeyne stepped in for a short housesit at our place. With a dog, cats, fish and tortoises, a growing veggie garden, and a swimming pool to look after, it was no small task.

Gwaeyne stepped in for a short housesit at our place. With a dog, cats, fish and tortoises, a growing veggie garden, and a swimming pool to look after, it was no small task. Joined by her friend Jenny, however, the two ladies mastered this housesit. Pretty much the only obvious sign of their stay when we returned was the tasty fritada they left in the oven for our dinner. Our house was just as we left it, only cleaner. Pets were all healthy, happy and relaxed. Gae and Jenny are also lovely people and a pleasure to meet. What more could anyone wish from housesitters? Thanks ladies!

Gae and Jenny took fabulous care of my house and dog while I was away for a week. They left a delicious meal in the fridge, Maddie got walks twice a day and was tired when I got home, and my home was cleaner than it was when I left!

Gae and Jenny took fabulous care of my house and dog while I was away for a week. They left a delicious meal in the fridge, Maddie got walks twice a day and was tired when I got home, and my home was cleaner than it was when I left! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gae and have her and Jenny house sit again.

Gae and Jenny were wonderful. They took excellent care of our home, garden and our cat, Baldur. Our home was immaculate when we returned from our vacation and our garden was thriving! Baldur was relaxed and happy and seemed like he loved both Gae and Jenny! They even had food available for us...
Gae and Jenny were wonderful. They took excellent care of our home, garden and our cat, Baldur. Our home was immaculate when we returned from our vacation and our garden was thriving! Baldur was relaxed and happy and seemed like he loved both Gae and Jenny! They even had food available for us when we got back so we didn't have to worry about cooking our first day home after a long trip. We were very pleased with them and would be happy to have them back again!
