About me

46, Accountant

Reliable, trustworthy house sitter with a rural background and experience caring for farm animals and pets. I treat your home and animals like my own so you can relax while you're away.

favoriteWhy I love house sitting

Being able to see you new places and meet new furry friends

Hi, I’m a 46-year-old house sitter with a rural background and a lifelong love of animals. Having grown up on lifestyle blocks, I’m very comfortable caring for a wide range of animals including goats, pigs, sheep, ponies, horses, cows, cats, and dogs.

In recent house sits, I’ve cared for everything from Rottweilers and cats to larger lifestyle and farm properties. This has included managing property with around 130 lambs, steers, chickens, and working dogs.

In recent house sits, I’ve cared for everything from Rottweilers and cats to larger lifestyle and farm properties. This has included managing property with around 130 lambs, steers, chickens, and working dogs.

In addition to my recent house sits, I grew up on on and around farms, we had goats, piglets, few sheep, we hand reared lambs and calves as pocket money, had cats, a dog and rabbits as pets. I had my own pony growing up and although I have not ridden for a while have a love of horses.

I’m also happy with a little garden maintainenance and watering indoor plants, ensuring your home continues to run smoothly while you're away.

I pride myself on being reliable, honest, and respectful. I understand how important it is to leave your home and animals in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I treat every property as if it were my own—keeping things clean, secure, and well cared for at all times.

You can head away with confidence knowing your animals will be well looked after and your home in safe, capable hands.

Robyn went above and beyond. She sat on my freshly renovated and carpeted home and 2 cats - one with a propensity to kill things and one with a propensity to pee inside if his litter box isn't clean = nightmare scenario. Adding complication, our plumber and tiler decided my holiday was the time to become available. Robyn took it all in stride. She sent me regular, reassuring photos, and I came to an immaculate house (possibly more immaculate than when I left). Happy to recommend and would ... MoreRobyn went above and beyond.

Robyn was an absolute delight and brough much needed peace of mind while we were away from our dogs. I know our miniature pinscher is not the most sociable critter but Robyn was able to hold firm and won her over almost immediately. Highly recommend!
Robyn was a great house and pet sitter that we would recommend to other people looking for someone to look after their pets. We came home to a very tidy house and one very happy GSD 🐾
