About Susan & Ted (john)

We are a mature retired couple, Susan and Ted, who love cats and gardens. We are strictly non-smokers.
We love the coast and the beach.

We are a retired couple looking to travel far and wide, especially coastal areas. We specialise in pet-sitting cats, but have sat dogs as well.

We are a mature retired couple, Susan and Ted, who love cats and gardens. We are strictly non-smokers.
We love the coast and the beach.

We are a retired couple looking to travel far and wide, especially coastal areas. We specialise in pet-sitting cats, but have sat dogs as well.

Susan has many hobbies and interests, mainly arts and craft centred; but with a fondness for computer games too.
Ted is a wonderful cook, likes to garden, is a bit of a handyman.
We both like reading, boating, fishing, snorkelling, folk music, gardening and photography. We love the old history and architecture of Europe.

We like to escape the cold of a Tasmanian winter for several months, so are looking for house sits that may take us to places further north. We love the coast! We will also consider local Tasmanian sits that’s give us an opportunity to explore other regions of our State.

Ted was a Business Systems Analyst and Software Tester before retirement, and Susan was owner/partner in a successful small business for 17 years, custom (bespoke) picture framing.
Ted has had police and background checks for his security sensitive system work, including a thorough check for work in a security sensitive Commonwealth department. Susan also has a current Police check, from her voluntary work with a local NDIS co-ordination organisation.

Ted's nickname while travelling Europe in a campervan for a total of twelve months over two years was 'McGyver'!

Why we want to house sit

We like to travel and see new places, but we also like to live like a local. We love cats but have chosen to not have any at the moment, so that we are free to travel. We miss those kitty-cuddles!
We prefer warmer weather over winter.
We are looking for house-sits in coastal NSW and Queensland over winter.

Our experience

We have had cats for decades -- the last one a gorgeous Abyssinian, Jessie, for nearly 14 years and before that, a fluffy grey & white 'Gremlin' for 17 years.
We currently have no pets, so we are free to travel.
We have owned fully furnished executive rental properties and a holiday rental house. We know how to look after a home to a very high standard.
We have also done 12 home exchanges, including in UK and the Netherlands, Sydney, Byron Bay hinterland, Maroochydore, and Peregian Beach (QLD).
As at January 2018, we have done 9 pet-sits in the last two years.

    Susan was a wonderful house sitter. Communication before and during the sit was easy. Our house was kept well and very tidy and our pets were spoilt. Highly recommend her.

    Thanks, Katie, it was a pleasure. I can now add “cricket-wrangling” to my range of experience!

    During our time away our cats and home were very well cared for by Susan and Ted. We returned home to two happy and calm cats and an immaculately clean house. We can certainly recommend them to others looking for cat sitters.
