I am a keen traveller, and have been exploring parts of the world for the past 20 years. In this time I have also been a teacher, in the U.K, Holland and Australia which is home. My job by its very nature requires me to be a trustworthy and respectful person. During the last 7 years I have chosen to work in what can be a very rewarding but stressful environment, (special needs students ) and have learnt by experience to keep a calm head and an open heart. This particular position is one of trust because many of the students do not communicate through speech and need people around them whom they can trust and bond with. Due to my travels I do not have a pet, and I find that I miss having them in my life. So using this website for me is about spending time with animals. Of course, I respect and look after the house during the sit, but I really enjoy the day to day interaction with the pets, may it be the daily walks with the dogs, snuggling with cats on the couch or feeding the chooks and gathering eggs.
I am police checked because of my job (so I haven't done it through this website) and am happy to provide my teaching accreditation.
Why I want to house sit
I really enjoy travelling, meeting new people, seeing that underneath it all we are the same the world over and of course trying new cuisines. So I cannot get myself a furry companion just yet. But I really miss having that type of friend in my life, animals bring something to our lives and enrich us for it. So this website looks after both desires, the need to roam and the need to have non human companions. I would not house sit if there were not pets involved, I feel the exchange is in my favour, yes it is nice to see new places, but meeting new furry friends is wonderful.
My experience
I have owned and loved cats, I lived in a house with a diamond python, she took care of herself though as she lived in the roof. Through this website I have looked after dogs, a pony, 20 chooks, and cats. I have also minded and loved friends dogs ( a gorgeous mutt, another staffie and a french bulldog).

Elizabeth gave us peace of mind on our recent holiday. Nothing was too much trouble. She is a lovely person and our dog Sam thought so too! Our house and Sam were very well looked after and Elizabeth also kept in contact while we were away with photos and notes. On our return, we were welcomed with a gift and lovely touches of flowers including floating frangipanis in the garden! Sam was a very happy boy. Elizabeth is a kind and caring person and we wouldn’t hesitate to have her sit for us again.

Elizabeth took excellent care of our house and two high maintenance cats.Elizabeth went above and beyond our expectations. We were delighted to come home to a clean house, flowers in vases, clean sheets, food in fridge. Elizabeth even took care of our garden and swept up all the leaves in our garage & garden.

Elizabeth was wonderful in every way.Can’t thank her enough an absolute 5 star in every way.- Organised
