I am particularly interested in house sitting locations by the sea, river or lake - or in quiet rural locations. About me : I am a retired teacher (female) early sixties, fit, youthful, active, healthy and resourceful. I have loved animals all my life. I am a kind, caring, honest, reliable, conscientious, independent, quiet non smoker. I live in rural S.A. Pets I have had over the past thirty years include dogs, cats, chooks, ducks, goats, sheep and various birds. Many were waifs and strays that I took in. I live with my son and his partner. They mind our property in my absence. Unfortunately, I am not available from december - march as I can't leave my own plants and garden in the summer months.
