~50, Writer
I've lived with Zen masters, and most of them have been cats. But all animals can teach us how to live in the present, and love, in their own way.
So I believe.
I'm a tidy mature gentleman. Self-disciplined. Non-smoker.
For twenty years my extended family has enjoyed the service of house sitters. Finally, in 2023, the opportunity arose to try house and pet sitting myself. It's been most gratifying. And because every experience has been so mutually rewarding, I'd like to continue house sitting through 2024, alternating between repeat bookings and new sits.
I've worked some years in hospitality & customer service in Switzerland, and I hope to bring that extra touch of professionalism and care into house sitting. I've managed a large mountain lodge in Switzerland and a holiday villa in Cyprus.
I lived with dogs and cats most of my life. I find dogs to be tremendously giving, but to win cats over really requires meeting them on their own terms. I love to do that, because to win the trust and affection of a cat is everything.
I've had 18 months' experience caring for boarding cats at Perth's largest cat shelter - The Cat Haven. So I'm very understanding of their different personalities, joys and stresses. The cat boarding experience taught me that it's a greater gift providing individual care for them at home, rather than putting them into kennels, no matter how professional and loving the staff there are.
In my house sits so far, I've enjoyed looking after cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, guinea pigs, a rabbit and budgies. I've also had experience looking after swimming pools and gardens, working with any special requirements.
I work as a writer, so I enjoy having a quiet place to myself. So if your pets get anxious too long alone, someone will be there to reassure them. And I'm on all the messaging apps, so we'll never be too far away should you experience pet separation anxiety, and can send you updates during your time away.
I look forward to hearing from you. You can text message me through Kiwi House Sitters with any questions. And I'd be very happy to arrange a time to listen to your needs on a voice or video chat.
Thank you.
NB. For extra peace of mind I'm happy to provide my Police Clearance certificate.
