We have had our own animal and olive farm in South Australia until end of September 2017 and have recently moved to England for good. We have a car and have settled in South England near Brighton. We are allowed to have only terrarium or aquarium pets in our rental flat, so we decided to get a chameleon - but we look forward to enjoy other people's pets, especially dogs and cats, as we miss them very much - and homes in every school holiday that comes up.

Experience: We have already done a few house-sits in the UK and have got great references everywhere. We have experience with dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, pet rats and mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, real (big) pigs, goats, sheep, alpacas, horses, ponies, donkeys, various reptiles and amphibians, fish, and all sorts of birds/poultry. In Australia, we have also bred many of these species and are good at raising baby animals and providing basic medical care (giving pills or injections, wrapping wounds, etc.). For 8 years I also ran a private cat shelter, accommodating up to 40 cats and kittens at a time, and we have successfully rehomed all of them. I also used to cook and prepare special dishes for my animals, after the principle "Let food be your medicine, and medicine be your food". We are really big animal lovers and also very well capable of keeping your house clean, beautiful, and safe.

Usual daily routine: I, Romana, am a 55 years old, professional linguist and usually work a few hours per day on my laptop computer doing translations, mainly in the evenings (or, during holidays, watching TV instead); Victoria is a well-mannered 14-year old, responsible quiet girl who loves playing the guitar, drawing beautiful pictures and playing interactive computer games. (That's why we need good Internet access please, wherever we go.) As I am trying to lose weight I push myself to do long walks with dogs (I am also happy to take them out to nice places by car) and other physical outdoor activities. We will be excited to explore your area, too!

Why I want to house sit

We enjoy travelling and meeting local people, while enjoying the comfort of a real home and the company of pets. And of course save on travel money, too! Available during all school holidays anywhere in the world and locally on weekends. We used to have a lot of animals since my daughter was born, but are not planning to get any new ones in England, as we will rent and want to travel a lot. We will surely miss having animals around us - and want to compensate for this emptiness by looking after other people's pets or farm animals.

My experience

We have started house- and pet-sitting only in September 2017, but have used sitters ourselves on our farm in Australia several times and therefore know what challenges can come up and how to solve them. I have been a registered/licensed breeder of dogs for 30 years, cats of 10 years and Australian pythons for 8 years. I also have a college certificate in pet care and animal health. In the last years, I have run an olive farm in Australia and have had three large dogs, in average a dozen of cats and kittens, ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, a horse, pigs and piglets, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, geese, as well as amphibians and reptiles.

    Romana and her daughter were wonderful. They looked after my dogs and cat for me while away for 3 days. They were lovely and very organized. Romana made sure to ask a lot of questions about the pets routines etc. She kept in touch and everyone was happy!

    Romana is a very friendly woman with a very caring manner. She looked after our pets and home well while we were away and we returned to very happy and contented dogs (and a wonderful, prepared dinner). Thank you, Romana.
