Hi! My name is Lesley. My husband, Joe, and I have been profesionally looking after houses, dogs, cats and all sorts of other animals for several years, both in Australia and overseas.
We've taken care of guard dogs at an avocado farm in California, huskies in Footscray, asthmatic cats in Seattle, chickens in Tasmania etc, etc.. We have a lot of experience with all sorts of fish, poultry, and smaller fur friends, both through housesitting and with our own pets. We are extremely comfortable with large or difficult dogs, shy cats, cats and dogs together and all the issues that can occur when pets are seperated from their humans.
We also have experience taking care of plants long-term, and love getting into the garden. We are clean, respectful, quiet, non-smoking and reliable.
Originally from Tasmania, we are also local to Melbourne. We both work from home and so are available during the day and night to keep your animals happy and relaxed, and your home secure. Our interests include cooking, reading, music, art and travel. We are, first and foremost, animal lovers, and come with many five-star reviews (see our photos for some screenshots from other sitting sites!). We also have experience with administering oral, respiratory and subcutaneous medicine.
We're basically friendly, trustworthy and reliable people, and will take great care of your beloved pets and your home.
