Hi. My name is Rose. I am a mature, quiet-natured lady housesitting on the sunshine coast with my husband, Michael.
We're lovers of all animals, especially dogs, and particularly dachshunds which we had for many years.
During the summer months we are based in Sandy Bay, Tasmania, where I operate a dachshund minding service from our home. I am also a freelance writer. Michael is a Project Manager for the Tasmanian state government.
In winter, we travel north to escape the Tassie cold. We like to house/pet-sit while travelling so we can enjoy the company of animals as well as the warmer weather.
While we have a particular love of dogs, we have also enjoyed caring for cats and birds through house sitting and also have experience with alpacas and mini ponies from a hobby farm we had for many years.
We're both experienced with pups to seniors and have cared for many dogs with special needs. I have completed First Aid/CPR training and I am also a volunteer for Dogs Homes of Tasmania.
We are tidy, quiet-living people who will care for your home and pets as though they were our own. We're non-smokers and can provide references and police checks and covid vaccination details if required.
Please contact us. We're looking forward to hearing from you.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. 7 days before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Rose provided the absolute best care for our Jack Russell x 'Angie'. I was so happy when I received update photos throughout the day, to see how much Angie was enjoying her stay. She enjoyed walks, playtime and treats and is very keen to return for another stay! Thank you Rose!
Rose was wonderful in caring for our little Doxie and understanding his particular care needs. It’s very obvious how much Rose loves dogs. She was very professional and helped us feel confident from the start that our boy would be well looked after. We’ve already booked her again for a longer stay and we highly recommend Rose as a sitter.
