Emma

Hello, my name is Emma.

Are you looking for the right house sitter to love and care for your home and pets?

As a former property owner, I understand the responsibilities and committment it takes to care for a home. It would be a privilege for me to care for your pets and home and I will ensure they will be well looked after.

I am a single, non-smoking, professional female in my mid forties working hybrid (office and remote). I lead a quieter life based around healthy living. To maintain a clear mind I like to be clean and tidy and have no pets nor children.

I also enjoy connecting with animals in my own intuitive way. In a previous career I was a certified massage therapist and turn my hand to animal massage. Most animals seem to love it!

I'm a Brit-Australian with Brit parents born in Australia, but mostly lived in the UK, well travelled and university educated.

I love all sorts of animals and grew up with a wide variety - dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, chickens and ducks.

House sitting is perfect for me as I've recently returned back to the UK and am researching new areas to settle in the UK.

I'm an animal lover and enjoy having a temporary pet friend who I can give love and affection to. I'm also a nature lover and enjoy gardening especially in the veggie patch.

I am organised and efficient (working in project management) and come complete with a checklist to make sure we have everything covered before you leave.

I have the following house sitting experience:
- Pets: dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks, fish, lizards and even a snake (!)
- Pet massage: as qualified massage therapist in a previous career I work intuitively with animals and most seem to love it!
- Elderly pets
- Permaculture gardens & veggie patches

Please do get in touch with a full listing (ad) up to discuss your requirements.

"Emma was absolutely brilliant. She looked after the house impeccably, looked after the garden but most of all was gentle, caring and patient with my timid rescue cat. She communicated well with me and even thawed out milk and left home made chocolates for my return. I would highly recommend her." Michelle, East Finchley, UK, May 2022.

No hesitation in recommending Emma - professional and detailed ensuring all details were captured before we left the country.
Skills: Pets well cared for, Followed instructions, Home neat and clean, Maintained garden, Punctual, Resourceful"
Sam, Summer Hill, NSW, Nov 2018 (Aussie House sitters site).

"We couldn't have asked for more. Emma used initiative when a few problems arose in our house. She is very organised and used a comprehensive checklist to ensure my instructions covered everything. We arrived home to not only a sparkling clean house, a happy cat (she didn't lose any weight) and a well tended veggie patch, garden and indoor plants but she was thoughtful enough to defrost our milk and bread, which I hadn't even thought to ask for. An in depth status report was sent to us by email so we knew exactly what was what without having to ask any questions. I'd have Emma back again definitely!"
Vivian, Clovelly, NSW, July 2018. (Aussie House Sitters site)

"Emma house and cat sat for 2 months in our lovely house in Gordon. We arrived home last week to find our cat Holly and house and garden in fine order. I am delighted to endorse Emma as a reliable, caring young woman and we will certainly invite her to housesit for us again."
Ann, Gordon, NSW, Mar 2018. (Aussie House sitters site)

"Emma looked after my house for 8 days. She came over wrote notes on what was needed to be done. She was keen on looking after the reptiles as well as my cats. When I came home the house was spotless, fresh sheets, made bed, and bath towels waiting for me in bathroom. Bins were emptied and animals all fed and happy. She was easily contactable and offered to send me updates if needed. Emma also took care of my plants out the back. Highly recommended, trustworthy and very clean neat and tidy. "
Brenna, Aveley, WA, January 2018

"Emma was great and very diligent. Very happy to endorse her."
Oliver, Perth, WA, January 2018 (Aussie House sitters site)

"We had Emma look after our house and 6 year old French Bulldog and we came back to a very tidy house and a happy, well looked after dog. Emma was great with keeping in contact for the time we were away and letting us know that everything was going well. She did a fantastic job and we would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a friendly, reliable house sitter who will take great care of your home and pets."
Tim, South Fremantle, WA, December 2017 (Aussie House sitters site)

"I am very grateful to Emma for minding my home. Emma looked after my 2 bedroom second story apartment whilst I was overseas for over 3 weeks. During that time, Emma took care of my beloved plants, which were thriving when I returned home. I received regular communication from Emma when it was necessary, sending photos of my important mail, so I could problem solve whilst I was away, which gave me piece of mind. My home was spotlessly clean and tidy when I arrived home, especially the kitchen and living area, and it was very well cared for by Emma.
I would certainly welcome Emma into my home again, and highly recommend her as a house (and plant) sitter."
Helen, Yokine, WA. 2017

"Emma was great, really organized and sent us a pre- sitting questionnaire to make sure we had let her know everything so she didn't have to disturb us while we were away. We came back to a spotless home ad a very happy dog. We would be delighted for Emma to look after the house and Ebony again."
Neil & Jean-Claude, Rozelle, NSW, 2014

"While away on holiday Emma house sat my home. She took wonderful care of my home and pets. Max my then ailing dog which I was really worried about as he was in his last days was taken care of and given his medications. I came home to a perfectly tidy house and was really relieved she was there to take care of Max and take such good care of him in his state and Jasper my cat."
