We understand the feeling open your home to strangers. We love animals and miss not having them ourselves. We believe the key to a successful sitting relationship is having a mutual understanding and trustworthy between home owner and sitter. We have been in Australia for five and a half years and had to go through various very strict checks before we were granted a skilled visa. Dave is a mining engineer and between work at the moment. I have been at home studying part time and volunteering for Meals on Wheels, Totts and Home Care in NSW as a community driver. We have moved from NSW to Queensland and whilst the mining industry going very slow at the moment we decided to do house sitting and maybe see some of Queensland. We have both been brought up with pets. We both enjoy gardening. Dave and I love DIY projects. We have owned our own home in South Africa and have rented a home in Townsville for years. Reference may be obtained from our previous rental agents both in Townsville and NSW. Personal references are also available. We also have full police checks available. We will have our own transport available.
