We used to be detectives in London but came to Malta in the 90s where we married and had a daughter who’s now at the University of Queensland in Brisbane. We’ll be in Australia for three months - largely seeing our daughter - part of which we’ve already planned and booked. We’ll be in West End, Brisbane from 29th August until we fly back and thought that, if we suited your requirements, we’d be close by. I’m a past Captain of the Royal Malta Golf Club and have served on the Board of Management for many years. We’ll have housesitters looking after our four cats back home in Malta and thought it would be great if we could have contact with animals on our travels.
We’ve always had dogs and cats but since our Great Dane died we just have the four cats. We’ve also had Rhodesian Ridgebacks so are great animal lovers and used to looking after cat and dogs.
Why we want to house sit
We’ve recently joined this housesitters site, mainly to find suitable sitters for our cats. Three months without animals, even on our travels seems a long time so thought this would be perfect.
Our experience
We’ve looked after a friend’s Labrador, Ben, many years ago when we lived in England and took him away on holiday with us when we went to Wales.
We have considerable experience with our own pets, and moved abroad with them when I was employed overseas, and generally have lots of common sense.

I have known both John and Kathy for many years. They are both genuine animal lovers and are extremely honest, reliable and trustworthy.
I know they would care for any animal and home as if it were their own. I would highly recommend them both.I have known both John and Kathy for many years. They are both genuine animal lovers and are extremely honest, reliable and trustworthy.
