About Frankie

Ohhh man, am I excited to look after your pad, your pets and your chloroformulaic comrades!

I'm a very well house trained, non-smoking, animal and plant loving humanoid - currently on a quest. Ive quit my job and sold a lot of my belongings to self-fund a creative project, so I've been hitting the housesitting circuit to buy myself more time to write. 

Ive always loved house sitting, and I jump at every opportunity to look after friends' pets, plants and houses when they go away. Plus, its been a few years since Ive had pets of my own, so I relish the opportunity to make more furry and feathered friends. Ive now been house sitting full time for about a year and a half (as of April 2023). Most of those house sits have become repeat or semi-regular sits, and have absolutely loved forming close bonds with the pets that I have minded. 

I have looked after many dogs and cats, chickens and fish, as well as several horses and goats. Ive sat units, houses on and off grid and hobby farms, from the Otways all the way to Lismore. Im hooked, and I cant wait to make more furry friends in far flung places!

Now, I know men don't have the best rep for keeping a nice house, but I would like to assure you I am the rare exception. I love a clean and tidy house, and I love doing the dishes. Actually! In fact I do also work as a house cleaner once a fortnight, just to keep food on the table and petrol in the tank while I work. 

I'm very happy to house sit around Melbourne, or further afield. Really, I would be super thankful for a roof over my head, and new furry friends to hang with while I write.

Exceptional sitter, we couldn’t have found a better buddy for our greyhound. Frankie definitely went over and above in not only looking after our dog but our home as well.

Specific Skills

I speak English
< 5 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
Ive been house sitting full time for about a year and a half now, and on occasion for many years before that. I have several times been referred to as a dog whisperer. I really enjoy getting to know different animals and creating a bond. Ive had quite a few dogs in my care that have had behavioural problems, of which I get better and better at navigating each time. Im not qualified as a dog trainer, but I have spent many hours studying youtube techniques and learning and adapting the techniques that have worked best with different dogs in different situations. I really enjoy it, and look forward to continuing to fine tune these skills. I like to treat the animals in my care with the utmost respect and love, as if they were my own.
