Married for 44 years, David and Anthea are both recently retired Advertising principles who worked in the Industry for over 40 years. They owned and ran their own successful 'boutique Agency' for 24 years . It was a tough, competitive marketplace requiring experience, resilience, energy, tenacity & personality. They are both now ready to slow down and enjoy their retirement.
David was also an International cricketer, representing Australia in the '72 Ashes series in England. Anthea also a keen athlete, played 1st grade tennis in Australia for over 15 years.
However...as they will tell you, their greatest achievement in life has been their two children and their 3 beautiful granddaughters.
Why we want to house sit
David and Anthea are now ready to travel and see the world. Having worked hard all their lives, it's time to slow down and enjoy each others company.... If that includes looking after some furry friends....even better!!
Our experience
David and Anthea have owned 3 lovely houses in Sydney over their 44 years of marriage. Anthea has done a wonderful job renovating each home inside and out. She has a real flair in design and a green thumb.
As a family, the Colley's over the years have loved, 6 dogs & 4 cats, usually at the same time. The house never felt right unless you were welcomed home by a beautiful happy dog.
Anthea and David now live in a Terrace house with more garden than lawn, so the opportunities for dogs are limited. Suffice to say , they welcome the opportunity to be involved with 'pets' again whatever that may be.
David and Anthea are both very 'house proud'. They spend their days in the garden poking and pulling, ensuring their house and garden is the best on the street.

It gives me great pleasure to write this reference for David and Anthea. From time to time my wife and I go abroad. We have real reservations about leaving our 2 dogs and 1 cat with a boarding kennel. David and Anthea are our neighbours and they always insist on us leaving our beautiful pets with them. We have done this 6 or 7 times now and we never worry one little bit. They get pampered by Anthea and look forward to their brisk walks with David. I would have no hesitation recommending David and Anthea to look after anyones most prized little pets. Kind Regards, Cardin Bransgrove
