About Elizabeth & Leslie

Hi, we are a couple of mature homeowners who enjoy keeping our own houses and gardens in good shape. I'm a retired teacher of foreign languages, Liz, and Les is a retired librarian.

I think we make a good team and look forward to meeting you, if it's a mutual fit.
Currently looking at possibilities for any time next year, or Dec-Jan. As first-time housesitters, we would probably prefer somewhere near our homes, i.e. Kyogle or Ballina. NSW so that we can reach you easily by car. Later we would really like the possibility of a longer period of housesitting in Europe. I have minded dogs and maintained the cleanliness of a large house in Provence, France for six months. If you require only one house sitter, we are happy with that arrangement. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Cheers Liz.
