I've always adored cats, and often lived with them, but don't think it's fair to have them anymore until I own my own place. That's not on the cards just yet, so ... cat sitting! Or most other animals, also adorable.

I've often volunteered at rescue shelters, coming in every week to cuddle felines who normally don't get any attention, because the owners are too busy cleaning, etc. It's a win win for all, and I find it delightful!

I love nearly all critters, but as I'm very sensitive to sound, I can't deal with barking dogs. Thus, no canines for me. But just about every other creature is a joy.

How much do I love cats? I grew up with them, have fostered before, volunteered at several rescue shelters, follow several cat blogs online, watch cat videos every day, and even registered the domain youhadmeatmeow.com for a while.

Chooks and other birds are also great fun. I grew up with all sorts of critters at home, and I've never lost my love for them.

I'm also clean and quiet, don't drink, smoke or do drugs, don't have wild parties, so I'll treat your place with the respect it deserves. I work from home, so have plenty of time to look after your creatures.

By the way, if you'd like a laugh, have a look at my video. You won't see my face, but you'll see me with a room full of feline friends!

I have a recent police clearance as well.

I'm not sure what else to write here, so please do ask if you have any questions, or some cats or other critters who need some TLC :)

Thanks for reading!

p.s. Here are a few references over the years. Not exactly house sitting, but still, I hope, useful to show I'm responsible, and love cats:

Ed was a great addition to my team at Jackies 2nd Chance/Lucky Lodge Boarding Cattery. The cats loved spending time with Ed, he was very attentive and gentle with them all. I would highly recommend Ed for any position for pet sitting etc, hes a real animal lover and understands their needs.

Ed love has lived in my house in Narrawallee as a boarder for the past 6 months. He is a quiet, respectful person and was always clean and tidy.

He also paid his weekly rent on time, so I have no hesitation in recommending him to future households. I wish him well in all his future endeavours.

Ed Love rented my house (fully furnished) in Lyons, Canberra, for several months in 2011. He was always courteous, amiable, respectful of my property, clean and neat, prompt in rent payments, and very attentive to caring for my four cats, and collection of pigeons and doves.

I have no hesitation in recommending him as a tenant. Especially if you have cats who appreciate being cuddled!

We had Ed stay at our accommodation for a few months earlier this year. In that time we found Ed to be polite and easy to get along with. He is a quiet person who keeps to himself a lot. He always paid his rent and upon leaving received his full bond back. He left of his own free will because of excessive bus noise due to the trains being shut down and we were sad to see him go.

Ed Love paid rent to share my unit for a month during April 2011. Ed is a friendly person who paid his share of costs on time and without complaint. He also kept the unit clean and tidy. I have no hesitation in recommending him as a tenant. Please feel free to contact me for any further information.
