Greetings owners, I'm Jess from the UK! :) Last year I finished backpacking around Southeast Asia and I loved it so much, I'm now backpacking around Australia with my boyfriend Sam for the next three years with Working Holiday VISA's.

I've been living and working in Brisbane, continuously housesitting and caring for owners homes and pets since October 2024. And I am now settled in Perth for the foreseeable future.

From my childhood friends to my current companions, I've had a variety of pets throughout my life. Including; dogs, three rescue cats, fish and insects. I have a family dog called Barney the Parsons Russell (13 - back in England), who has always been cuddly and active but nervous in public, so I am use to pets that may require some special attention. Good news! I'm also a reptile lover, so snakes, geckos and amphibians are never out of the question. I've also previously worked as a zoo keeper with Apes, looking after Western Lowland Gorillas. And, at a kennels, helping to look after retired greyhounds.

Throughout my travels, I've been able to meet so many new people and have had the honour of spending time in their homes, with their families and pets. I've thoroughly enjoyed these experiences and would love the opportunity to care for some pets in my downtime. I'm a very active individual and enjoy hiking, kayaking, climbing and surfing. 

I respect that everyone's home is a private place and should be treated with the upmost care. The security of your home and the welfare of your pet(s) are my top priorities. I am a shoes off at the door and coasters on the table person, keeping your home clean and tidy throughout my stay/visits. My aim is to spend some quality time with animals, whilst leaving you with total peace of mind about your pet(s) care. 

I am also a registered member of Trusted Housesitters and Aussie Housesitters, and am more than happy to provide references upon request. 

Thanks for reading about me, and hopefully meet you soon! 

Jess :)
