We are Nick and Liz, a married couple from Mount Barker in South Australia with 2 grown up children.
Nick is a Viticulturist and manages a vineyard in the Langhorne Creek Wine Region.
Liz is a qualified child carer and currently cares for the children of 2 families in Adelaide.
Now in our 40s and 50s we prefer a quiet easygoing lifestyle. We are responsible and clean. We are familiar with basic home repairs and gardening work. As homeowners we would care for any house as if it were our own.
Why we want to house sit
We are both animal lovers. We lived on the vineyard Nick manages for over 14 years. During this time we had 2 dogs and chickens and loved all of the wildlife we were exposed to (including snakes!). Since moving to Mount Barker we no longer have any pets due to our small backyard and so want to use house sitting as an opportunity to care for animals.
We are travel lovers too. We love to travel and immerse ourselves in the location we travel to. House sitting provides us with an opportunity to stay in one place for an extended period of time and fully experience the local community.
Nick has accumulated over 6 months of leave and with Liz's work flexibility we can commit to use this leave to stay in one or multiple house sits. So looking after a house and pets and garden, if required, we see as a fair exchange. Plus we love having dogs, cats or other pets around us!

It was a pleasure to have Nick back again. Pets and chickens happy and the house clean and tidy. There was a mixup with the keys (sorry Nick), but he was able to sort that out. We would certainly have him back.

Nick was very easy to get along with and we immediately felt comfortable with leaving our home and animals in his care. When we returned our house and garden looked better than we had left them. Even our clothes that we left on the line were neatly folded and we just had to put them away. Our cats and chickens were as relaxed as when we had left them. We really appreciated Nicks house sitting. Thanks Nick.

Nick is currently employed as a Vineyard Manager with our company and has been for almost 17 years. Throughout this time Nick has demonstrated that he is an extremely responsible and reliable person who is diligent and well organised. He would use these traits to the full extent when looking after someone else’s property and pets and he would come highly recommended.
