More information about this house sitter

We are an Irish/British/Australian family (myself, 48yrs old, husband Paul, 50yrs old, two sons Wolf - 9yrs & Rafe -8yrs) who would love to house and pet sit for you. We work very hard in leaving the homes & properties that we look after immaculate, and any pets that are in our care happy and healthy.

We have been fortunate enough to spend the last eight years travelling the world but the one thing that was missing from our nomadic lifestyle was the enjoyment and experience of taking care of animals. Not any more though, since finding housesitting around 4 years ago!

As a result of our travelling lifestyle we have become extremely well trained at looking after homes and properties and as most of our stays were arranged online we can provide over 50+ positive AirBNB reviews, as well as 19 five star house and farmsitting reviews & 4 five star references from another housesitting platform, to any homeowners on request. (Generally we try to keep an updated copy of our reviews and references on file in the attachments section here on MindaHome too, AirBNB no longer allows us to PDF print their reviews butwe are happy to provide a link to our profile on request.)

We are a family who has a very much proven record of friendliness, cleanliness, care and consideration.

As to specific details about us, Paul and I love travelling & exploring the world, meeting new people and learning about different cultures. Our most favourite thing is travelling to new places and enjoying what is different about them, and as every place is different, we are pretty easy to please! :)

At the same time we also like simple pleasures such as spending time with family and creating memories with our sons via new experiences. Our sons, Wolf and Rafe are both like us (or even more than us perhaps) well-travelled. We started travelling when Rafe was just 4 months old & Wolf was 19months and haven't stopped! What this does mean with regards to housesitting though is that you can be comfortable that not only are we vigilant parents (we've been very well trained always living in new places & with two little ones to watch) but that the boys also know how to respect other people's properties, be safe, and to be kind to animals. They absolutely adore the pets we do get to look after through housesitting. Its something we especially love. They are both homeschooled although when we have had the opportunity they have attended 'real' school in Wales and Australia,.

Last but not least as for our experience, we have house, property, pet & farm animal sat in Ireland, England, Wales, France, Spain and Australia and the animals we have looked after so far are cats, dogs, cows, sheep, chickens, rabbits, donkeys, goats, ducks & fish! We have undertaken these sitting experiences in both rural and urban settings.

Naturally we also have had our own pets in the past (dogs, cats, birds, fish, rabbits, and I even had some pet piglets and turtles as a child) but as well as this, my mother owns a small cattle farm (approx 80-100 head) that also has had horses, pigs, chickens and goats at different times and we have spent a lot of time there helping her with general farming chores. As a result, we are also comfortable in farming environments, & although we make no claims to being expert farmers, we do make good farm-hands!

At every place we stay (whether it is AirBNB or a housesit) we always make a point of leaving the home as clean as, or if possible, cleaner than we found it, and this has now become habit. Read more...
