We are a retired couple and are non smokers. 4 Years ago we spent sometime going around Australia doing some house and pet caring in Magnetic Island, Brisbane, Cairns,Harvey bay QLD and Tweed Heads NSW. And the Adelaide hills. All were very pleased with the care we took. We have excellent references from these people and some pictures of the animals we befriended. My husband is a keen gardener and we both enjoyed looking after animals and staying in a town long enough to get a feel for a place. We usually develop a nice bond with the animals we look after, enjoying each other's company and walks with them. We always leave a place as clean as or cleaner than when we arrived and totally respect the privacy of homeowners. we are trustworthy honest people with police clearances which we have both needed for our previous employers.We sincerely hope you consider us to look after your home and pets.
