About Linda

A retired couple recently relocated to Australia who are hoping to spend time enjoying walking and caring for your pets while you have a holiday. We have had a number of dogs and cats over many years, small and large. The last two being labradors. They were great lovers of swimming in the sea and chasing balls, fetching sticks etc. The swimming pool was a great second best for them to cool off.  

About to spend time between NSW and Queensland from Mid October for approximately 12 months. Looking for pet sitting while seeing the country.

We have had two Guest Houses for 25 years prior to selling and coming to Australia. Your home and pets would be in great hands while you relax and enjoy a well-earned break. We are used to caring for gardens and pets. My husband really enjoys pottering in gardens and has a passion for propagating new plants from cuttings.We have done house and pet sitting in South Africa prior to leaving and will happily supply references from those customers. We have also assisted with feeding pets when people have been working long hours or couldn't get home in a reasonable time. 

No household emergency will stump us. We are used to maintaining swimming pools, grooming and feeding pets and love going on long daily walks. We are people who enjoy spending a lot of time at home and enjoying chilling with pets and perhaps the occasional barbecue We have many years of experience and are still active and very willing. We do have a vehicle of our own. 

We would be available most times of the day as we do not work, or have any specific responsibilities besides our bookings or housesitting which is booked.

We would be happy to do walks of up to one hour usually, unless especially requested. We would be happy to take dogs to a suitable park or dog beach if there is one close to their homes. There may be a specific area the owner would prefer me to walk and this can be discussed. 

We are used to securing homes using various security measures. Owners can feel secure that once they explain their requirements with locking and unlocking their homes that we would ensure that this is followed . Their pets requirements will also be followed as per their requests. We would happily address any requests to bring in mail, and watering plants etc when doing house visits and will definitely spend at least half an hour at the home and stimulate and play with their animals when only a house visit is booked.

We asked Linda and Roy to manage our old boys (14 and 15) again after their great work last time. This time the additional challenge was that one dog was recovering from an illness and very weak - eg. needing to be hand fed to get him to eat and lifted up any steps or stairs.

The job was performed so very well with excellent updates and care throughout.

+20 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
I have taken my dogs for training when they were young to get them to walk at your side while on a lead. After many years of walking dogs, I am familiar with various behaviors. I have cared for dogs having to take oral medications. I am also used to having young and older dogs, and I am very aware of the need to adapt the amount of exercise required at various ages.
