My experience

Jo-Anne looked after Linden Dryburgh’s pets & home

Jo-Anne & I worked together in an NSW Government Agency. She was the Executive Assistant to the CEO. We have been friends for over 10 years. She looked after my then two cats and my indoor plants whilst I was away for a several long weekends. We lived near to each other and she would drive over once a day to feed, clean and be with my cats for a while. My female cat was a bit stand-offish and my male cat was just a cuddle bug. She gained the confidence of both of the cats during her time looking after them. Jo is reliable and has a calming nature. I trust Jo to do the right thing. If she was in any doubt she would seek guidance from the owner to make sure that what she would be doing is in line with their wishes. We have travelled several times together and we both look after any location that we stay in a clean, tidy manner and leave it in the same state as we find it or better. I have not hesitation in referring her to house sit and / or pet sit.

Why I want to house sit

I think house sitting is a wonderful opportunity as it allows you to travel and importantly spend time like a local caring for a home, a pet and garden in a community environment as if they were your own.
