Hello.
I’ve been in professional roles most of my life, from education to business consultancy. Now I’m doing lots of travelling - housesitting as well as fulfilling promises to visit family and friends.
I’m active, creative, enjoy live arts and love making pottery (see some of my creations on my Instagram page: Perth_Potter).
I’m looking forward to other activities such as cycling, walking, swimming and getting to experience new places.
Why I want to house sit
Housesitting appeals to me because I get to know new places, meet people, learn languages ... and best of all enjoy the company of cats and dogs. I speak French badly, learned Bahasa Indonesia years ago and make an effort to learn some of the language of the countries I visit.
I've lived all over Australia (in cities, country towns and the outback) and travelled extensively overseas. While minding a home I’m not working; my focus is being good company for the pets.
My experience
- house and pet sitting for friends and family over many years. Mainly cats, dogs and birds.
- house sitting through another online site (sits between 2 weeks and 3 months)
- excellent recent references/referees available

I'v known Merilyn for many years and she has already helped me out by looking after my cats while I was on holidays. She has always treated her own pets giving them lots of time, love and affection during their long and happy lives and I'm sure she would look after yours the same way, taking the role seriously.
Merilyn's house is always clean and well presented and she's a keen gardener. You can have confidence that she will leave your home the way you left it. Also she if pragmatic, dependable, with a sense of humour, and she will take unforeseen events in her stride.- Organised

She is intelligent, caring, reliable and trustworthy, and I have no hesitation in recommending her as a house-sitter.
I am confident that any home owner could have peace of mind knowing if Merilyn was looking after their pet, house and garden. She shows initiative, is a problem-solver and excellent communicator.
She takes pride in her own home, enjoys gardening, is very security conscious and respectful of others. I’d be very happy for Merilyn to look after my home and cats, and have called on her to feed our cats and keep an eye on our house while we travelled.
Merilyn and her family have had several pets over the 30 years I have known her, most notably Red Dog (a large wolfhound / red setter cross with a giant personality and lots of energy), and Nelson, a rescue dog who lived a long and happy life with daily walks and much pampering. Both dogs were showered with love and taken on holidays with Merilyn’s family, even flying and driving interstate with them.
If you would like additional information about Merilyn as a potential house and pet sitter, I can be contacted by phone: +61 (0)8 9386 6375 or email: Philippa@nikulinsky.com.au- Organised
