My husband and I are moving to Tasmania, near Hobart. We both have permanent resident visas.
We have owned our own homes here in the US for many years and we would care for your home as we care for ours: keeping a close eye on security, living lightly in your home and caring well for your property and animals. We are both non-smokers. I won't say we like cleaning; but, we do like living in a clean house. Both us are accustomed to a bit of daily vacuuming and other cleaning. :)
We have owned many different kinds of animals including dogs, cats, chickens and horses and I even tended a small herd of cows for a friend once. We currently have two dogs, a cat and two horses. I watch my neighbor's horse for him so my horse has a buddy.
We love animals and would provide excellent care for your pets. I would be glad to provide regular updates about your animals, including sending you pictures if you like.
We were required to do extensive checks to get our permanent resident visas. I have copies of the police background checks available for your review. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like more information about me, my husband or our situation.
NOTE: We would like to continue building our network of friends in TAS and to see lots of areas to make our eventual move easier.
We would do what we could to make it work out so that you could leave your home worry-free). We welcome the opportunity to consider any opportunities to house sit! I am certain the woman whose home we watched last winter would provide a reference if you are interested in talking with someone whose animals and home we cared for.
At this point, it would be likely that Richard, my husband, would be coming over by himself. Please feel free to contact us if you are interested. Thank you!
