Aussie retired professional couple enjoying life
About Rob & Ferg(rozzie)
A 'house proud' couple, but not over the top, although a grimey oven challenge to 'Ferg' (preferred name but sometimes known as Rozzie), is an enjoyable chore as she knows any one getting ready for vacation and travel has no time nor inclination to clean an oven!... Passionate (and still madly in love after 14 years marriage), caring, fun, anima...
A 'house proud' couple, but not over the top, although a grimey oven challenge to 'Ferg' (preferred name but sometimes known as Rozzie), is an enjoyable chore as she knows any one getting ready for vacation and travel has no time nor inclination to clean an oven!... Passionate (and still madly in love after 14 years marriage), caring, fun, animal loving (especially horses and dogs but really all animals...Ferg would love a pet tiger).
Me, Ferg, a retired nurse/midwife and Health Service CEO for a group of Hospitals. Current 'hobby' as a floral and garden designer but really working at living 'the good life' so fishing, show horse judging, cooking, singing (a not too screechy soprano), reading, day-dreaming about winning the Lottery, imaging winning the Lottery, devising spending of the Lottery...). Adores all music, plays the Irish D whistle and fondly can remember the days of ballet dancing en pointe, just consoled now by prancing the occasional merry jig! Born and bred a farming 'girl', mostly now an ardent cookery book writer, pet rescue volunteer (Vet. nurse experience) gardener, equestrienne.My dear husband Rob. (most recently a Finance/ IT Consultant and Manager but has successfully endured many other interesting 'job' challenges over the years. eg; a Yachtmaster delivering new sailing boats throughout the Mediterranean...is that a job?!). Currently an avid self taught musician, Rob. is fit from hours of daily wandering walks to gain inspiration for his wonderful short story and book writings. This gentleman husband also works at living the 'good life'. He plays and sings all genres of music, is an avid (very successful) sailor who is involved in many voluntary activities with the boating and sailing clubs he belongs to. A keen, smart mind, my dear husband is a great conversationlist with a wealth of general knowledge and experience without being a bore..
With travel and immersion into other cultures and lifestyles, we admit to being resourceful, very happy and making every minute of our experiences,ones to be enjoyed and remembered!. Perhaps our only conflict is fighting over which one of us does the better job of the DIY job. Non smokers...(Offer Police checks, personal referees, House sit testimonials).
Why we want to house sit
Great love of travel and new experiences, all things epicurean, animals of all shapes and sizes (Pet rescue volunteer)..house proud ,love music and gardens too (studied Horticulture)..honest regard for homeowners lifestyle, privacy, belongings ...broad general knowledge..lots of common sense..calm and organized..passionate with pets..love to care for 'things' precious!
Our experience
Wow, what amazing fun and exciting times we have enjoyed house sitting! Loved meeting such delightful people who treasure their animals so much to want only the best carers for them. Always a wonderful experience to get to know new animals and their personalities and to see their responses to us, 'the babysitters'... certainly always a critical appraisal by the pets on first introduction confirming that animals do have a sixth sense of friend or foe! We always want the home owner to feel confident from first contact, that they have picked the right people to move into their private domain in their absence and to know we will do all to keep their 'family' safe, happy, and healthy. Rozzie. (and I love having a grimey oven to clean!)

Rob and Ferg (Rozzie) are superb house-and-pet-sitters! They are extremely likable and friendly and 100% reliable-and our two large dogs and two cats loved them too. We even received regular updates of their adventures with the pets with photos and videos, all very much appreciated! The house was in an immaculate condition when we returned and we even received a lovely welcoming meal. We can’t imagine better house sitters and we can thoroughly recommend them to anyone!

Rob and Rozzie were absolutely amazing housesitters. They went above and beyond in all respects including weeding my slightly overgrown garden, providing extremely professional personalized care for each of our critters, and sending fun and infomative messages to keep us up to date whilst on our month long trip overseas. We hope they will come back and visit us and that we might get to see them in Tasmania!

The Pelleys were outstanding in every way! If the Housesitters Site allowed us to award 10 stars we would! They are absolutely devoted animal lovers, and proved highly competent in managing our two boisterous blue heelers. They exercised the dogs regularly, played ball with them, and cared for their every need. On our return, the dogs were very calm and happy. The house was left spotlessly clean, and they even went to the trouble of detailing the two cars they used. Superb housesitters - they have become our good friends.
