Hello House Owners and Pet Mums and Dads
Our names are Lynne and Mike Edmonds and we are a retired professional couple that have recently returned from two years of full time House and Pet Sitting in the United Kingdom and Europe.
As our references will show we cared for a variety and large and small numbers of pets including horses, cats, dogs, chickens and geese and large parrots.
We mainly sat country estates, villas and farms and farmhouses but are also interested in homes in suburbs. Before leaving for Europe we sold our apartment on Moreton Bay and will eventually settle on the Sunshine Coast.
We have three grown children settled down with their partners in Melbourne and we have two grandchildren aged eight and two.
We have lived on our own 70-acre property and know how to operate farm machinery such as tractors and slashers. We have also cultivated our own citrus orchard and vege gardens. We are both fit and are able to care for any property, large or small. We have had pets, both cats and dogs all our lives, all of which have lived to an average of 14 years.
Our last 2 cats were diabetic in their last years and we are able to give injections and are good animal pill poppers...
“ … Lynne worked in my clinic for a short period as a night nurse. She is very intuitive to periods of unwellness in pets and with their care …” Extract from Vet Clinic Personal reference, June .
I am a homebody and love to read and Mike builds and flys radio controlled aeroplanes. He is an ex-Naval Aviator and we are both ex-Defence Force people with the highest security clearances.
Mike is a fix-it genius and we have cared for our own swimming pools for over 20 years. We are interested in both short or long sits. We have excellent references, which can be forwarded on request…
“ … they have just spent two weeks in my house here in Portugal and I can say that in five years of having sitters stay from all over the world, these two are the very best we have ever had ...” Extract from Portugal House & Pet Sitting reference, October 2006.
We have recently had our book "Endless Holidays- A Guide to House and Pet Sitting Around the World" published. We can forward our references on request and would be happy to present ourselves for an interview at your convenience.
As an addition to our skills, we are willing to manage businesses in the hospitality industry We are fully booked until Feb 2010.
