About Karen

Hi,

Thanks for reading my profile 🤗

I'm a retired Primary School / Learning Support Teacher of 35 years who escaped the city for a Sea change 8 years ago.

Since then I've become a grandmother to 6 gorgeous grandchildren from our 3 children. I love travelling to spend time with them.

I am fit and healthy and exercise regularly. I have my own (almost) new SUV and love driving.

 I keep fit by doing Aqua Aerobics and Pilates plus walking. I'm a very healthy & avoid dairy, gluten & processed foods.

I own & run a very successful BnB Unit with over 300 reviews and manager another BnB House since 2017.

Travelling is one of my passions & I have travelled to the UK, France, Italy, SE Asia, China, Fiji (often) & NZ (frequently). Last year I spent 4 weeks in Canada, Alaska & US. This year I've been to NZ and have a trip planned back to Tassie. 


We have a beautiful cat, Teddy, a naughty & energetic Ragdoll. We have always owned animals from Fish, Guinea Pigs, Peacocks, Chickens, Hermit Crabs, Budgies and Cats & Dogs. 

All of our children have dogs which I regularly sit when they're travelling; an Australian Shepard, Samoyed & 2 Japanese Spitz. I take them for walks, feed them & give medication. 

I housesat 2 cats for 1 week on the Sunshine Coast late in 2023. This also involved feeding & looking after 10 chickens, collecting eggs & watering the extensive vegetable gardens. 

This year I have sat for the same family 3 times: a long weekend, 12 days and 4 weeks with their 2 Shih Tzu dogs.

I have other House Sits booked for 2024 & January 2005 also.

I understand that your pets are important, much loved, members of your family and that you and they may feel anxious when you are away.

I'll ensure that they are looked after with cuddles & walks whilst you are away on holidays, working or family commitments and I'll send regular updates to you and your family.

I will keep in touch with daily messages, photographs and videos, usually through WhatsApp, which is free & worldwide.

I am free to HOUSE SIT on the Northern GOLD COAST & I would love to housesit for you & your pets.
