About Ruth
G'day! My name is Ruth and I'm a mature, single woman.
All of my kids have just left home, my employer has shut down and now I'm free to start doing what I love: travelling, exploring new parts of the world, meeting new people, their fur babies and making new friends from all walks of life.

G'day! My name is Ruth and I'm a mature, single woman.
All of my kids have just left home, my employer has shut down and now I'm free to start doing what I love: travelling, exploring new parts of the world, meeting new people, their fur babies and making new friends from all walks of life.
I've previously spent time travelling Scotland, England, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Holland, China, New Zealand and my own backyard - Australia! I love the challenge of change and experiencing cultures, places, sights and sounds that are new and exciting.
My hobbies at home are cooking, sewing, gardening, dining out and bush walking.
Why I want to house sit
Now that I'm entering a new chapter in my life, I have really caught the travel bug. I want to get back to the UK and Europe and spend less time sight seeing and more time living like a local. I'm always amazed at how different the lifestyle is in different countries and even different towns. (Which is worlds away from suburban Australia)
I am hoping becoming a house sitter will allow me to travel for longer and spend more time immersed in local communities while keeping accommodation costs a little lower.
I am an animal lover, especially cats. I have one 12 year old cat Emmy. My cat will be moving in with her other favourite human, my son Joshua. So she will be very well cared for while I am away.
I've had cats my entire life but previous members of our family include dogs, fish and birds. 13 years of my life have been spent on rural properties where I've also had horses, chickens, ducks and turkeys.
I'm ready to embrace my life and the challenges that the travelling lifestyle will bring and hope that I have an opportunity to meet you soon!
My experience
.At this point in time I have not had the opportunity to do any house sitting, but I hope to be considered as I do keep a clean and tidy home. My pets have always been treated as one of the family and, as my first priority, get the best of care.
I do have experience with a wide variety of animals and have also spent weeks on end travelling before. So finding my way around and surviving new cities is not new to me.
