Hello, we are Mike and Tina, a retired couple with our own home in Sippy Downs, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.
We recently returned to the Sunshine Coast after travelling in SE Asia since May 23. We loved our time there, and loved the food and the different cultures of the various countries we visited (Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos).
Mike is retired after a career in Environmental Management and more recently as an environmental journal Editor. Tina is retired from her hospitality role in aged care, after a career in medical and real estate sales. We have no dependents, are non-smokers and very light drinkers.
As homeowners ourselves, we want to assure you that we will look after your animal family, home, pool and garden, as if they were our own. We have owned investment properties and understand what it is like to trust your place to relative strangers.
Mike loves gardening (orchids a specialty!), and Tina is a natural housekeeper. You can see from our references that the homes that we have looked after have often been left cleaner than when we first moved in!
While our busy careers prevented us from having pets, we have both owned and raised dogs in the past. When possible, we even 'house-sat' dogs and cats from our local pet shop over weekends!
In 2022, we looked after a beautiful dog and two kitties on the Gold Coast, and we returned to Bangkok, looking after our furry client, Mutley, for a second time, and again in 2023.
In 2023, we looked after 5 dogs and 4 cats at four different locations, the last two in Chiang Mai, Thailand and Kuala Lumpur.
So far in 2024, we have looked after 4 cats and 4 dogs, in Penang, Malaysia, and on the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, and Brisbane in Australia.
Because of personal and travel commitments, we are unavailable to consider sits till mid-2025.
Thank you for reading our profile.
