Dear house owner,
I'm a quiet, mature and responsible Australian (one of a kind) looking for somewhere peaceful to stay and get some reading and writing done. I'm willing to look after your home and pets with diligence, and give you peace of mind while you're away. I pride myself on being responsible and organised, habits reinforced by military and civilian work places (expedition river guiding). I am a non-drinker and non-smoker who appreciates solitude, silence and order, and yet is free of most obsessive-compulsive behaviours. I'm seeking a place in Seattle or the surrounding area, with a preference for wooded or low-traffic areas. I have no vehicle to park and no pets (other than yours, if you have them) to worry about. I grew up with dogs and cats, am aware of their varying needs for human affection and exercise, and am more than happy to provide it. I like to run, so even if your dog is the high-energy type we'll get along just fine.
