I'm an Australian woman in my late 40s, currently taking a sabbatical from my career as a museum curator to complete a Masters Degree at the University of the Arts in London. My husband, Maurice, is a retired Royal Australian Air Force officer. We own our own home in Australia so are well aware of people's interest in ensuring care and security for their homes and belongings. We're both animal lovers and experienced in caring for dogs and cats, and I've lived and worked with horses since I was very young.
Why I want to house sit
When visiting other cities and places, I much prefer to experience each location like the locals and I also really miss canine, feline and equine cuddles when I'm away from home!!
My experience
Over the years, I've house sat for a number of friends and extended family, and welcomed house sitters into my own home. I'm an animal lover with wide experience caring for all sorts of creatures, including dogs, cats, fish and guinea pigs. Until very recently, I was a long-term horse owner and rider. I'm responsible and mature, and am concerned to take care of people's homes while enjoying the company of their non-human companions.

Kirsten and Maurice were fantastic & housesitters for our three bonkers hounds. The dogs took to them almost immediately - it normally takes a few days for one of our dogs who is nervous of new people. Having new people to look after them really does them the world of good and we arrived back to an immaculate house (no small feat given the swamp-like conditions in the fields over Christmas & the New Year) and very calm happy hounds - we know they have been well looked after when they don't go too crazy to see us ;) Kirsten was really easy to liaise with before and during the housesit, and I would have no hesitation both in recommending them and in having them to stay again.

Thank you Kirsten for taking such good care of our cats, plants and chickens. We arrived home to an immaculate house and very happy animals. We thoroughly recommend Kirsten and hope she can sit for us again.

I've known Kirsten as a friend and colleague for 12 years. She's trustworthy, responsible, super organised, caring and neat. Her own home and garden are beautiful and meticulously looked after. She's great with animals having had horses and dogs of her own over many years. She's taken great care of my dogs and home when I was away. In her working life she has held senior leadership positions with considerable responsibility for property, people and other living things. She loves animals and plants and gets real pleasure from tending the garden and playing with pets. I'd recommend her highly as a house and pet sitter.
