😊 ABOUT ME

Hi, i'm Fran! I’m an experienced Pet-sitter and Architect working in Melbourne. I have been house sitting in Melbourne casually since 2018 but after returning from 4 months of travelling and pet sitting around Europe in 2022 I decided I wanted more house-sitting adventures! I have been housesitting full-time around Melbourne for over a 18 months and I have absolutely loved getting to explore different sides of the city while having great animal company along the way!

I am a non-smoker, fully vaxinated, who is easy-going, mature, reliable, well-mannered, considerate and tidy. I am an active individual, regularly walking, running or bike riding whenever I can. I enjoy meeting new people and animals, and I love the outdoors so taking fur-friends for long walks will not be a chore! 

🏠 EXPERIENCE

I've looked after many animals over the years from tropical fish to big dogs, so I am very used to adapting to each animals unique needs, temperament, and routines. I’ve had experience with rescue animals with anxiety and those with health conditions requiring oral medications.

📝 Capturing information in a document...I'm currently working on a fillable document for clients (digital and paper) so you can relax knowing all the important information you need to let me know for the housesit has been captured! I'll share this with you at the meet & greet if you decide to go ahead with the booking. 

If you find yourself interested in my house sitting profile, feel free to send me a message if you have any questions. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Fran 😊  

Please note:

* As I housesit on a full time basis while also working full time, I currently only have capacity for housesits that 14 nights or longer (to help reduce my moving around), but if I have a small gap in my calendar between 2 bookings I am happy to take on a shorter house sits! 

* In my current job I have a bit of flexibility to do one work-from-home day a week. As I don't own a car, my ability to take on housesits would be limited to those that are relatively inner-city and/or with good public transport or bike routes that are not too far away.
