Are you travelling for work or taking a holiday but your home and pets need care while you’re away? If you really want to have PEACE OF MIND while you're away from your home, get a house sitter. You will be amazed how good it feels to have a caring, responsible person looking after your home, garden and pets. My name is Karen and I am a mature, quiet, single, non-smoking woman experienced in Hous
e & Pet Sitting presently on Gold Coast QLD, Australia. My background
I was nurse and paramedic in U.K and Australia for 29 years. I have owned my own home but have always enjoyed travelling ; living in England, U.S.A, Thailand and closer to home in Brisbane, Cairns and Gold Coast. I’ve been house/pet sitting on a permanent basis over a number of years now with many happy home/pet owners. What I offer
I am by nature very neat and tidy and I guarantee that your house will be maintained to the high standards. I take pride in making sure your home is clean, fresh and welcoming for your return. If you have animals taking care of them is something I enjoy. They like me because I spend time with them; take them for walks, attend to their needs and accommodate specific requirements. Whether your pet is a dog, cat, fish, bird or other small to medium animal, I will treat your pet/s like they are my own. In addition to attending to the home I will collect the mail and carry out basic garden and yard maintenance. I always endeavour to do a some little extra job around the home I’m housesitting such as tidying that linen cupboard or front garden you haven’t had a chance to get to. When you arrive home, you’ll find I’ve purchased some basic shopping to save you the hassle after your trip. Depending on time of your arrival you may even find a meal prepared. What I’m looking for
I am presently living at the Gold Coast and looking for longer terms arrangements in this area but I am available for some short term assignments and will also consider other areas or countries. If we are fortunate enough to come to an arrangement, I have a few basic requests that will help me settle in. Naturally, I would like a clean, comfortable bed! I have my own car but to help me get my bearings a list your local shops, post office and public transport would be most helpful. If I’m minding your pet, help me be their best friend by listing their habits, likes and dislikes. I will always contact you if I have any concerns about your pet and if I think it needs to be seen by a vet. I am more than happy to discuss a potential assignment via Facebook or in person where possible. I understand that leaving your home and pets in the hands of a stranger would be very daunting, but I am here to put your mind at ease and allow you to have a wonderful, well deserved holiday. Testimonials
Robyn G, Central Coast, New South Wales Australia
Karen Evans cared for my home and animals for a month in my absence. My animals were well cared for and the house was clean and tidy on my return. Karen also tended my gardens. I would highly recommend Karen as a house/pet sitter. Jenny, Byron Bay, New South Wales Australia
I am a neighbour of a lady where Karen has house sat on many occasions. Karen walks the dog and cares for the home like it is her own. I would recommend anyone having Karen house sit for them and she will care for your pets, water your garden and keep your home safe while you are on holidays. It's peace of mind while your away knowing that someone is keeping an eye on your home. Deborah H, Gold Coast, Queensland Australia
Karen was prompt with both communication and arrival at the property. She was intelligent and understanding of my pets requirements, and left my property probably in a cleaner condition than she found it!
