Hi!
My name is Luci. I'm 45 years old and have no pets of my own.
I have decided to do house sitting as a way to spend time with animals, and to get away from my place sometimes.
Due to my work hours, I am not suitable for house-sits with pets that can't be left alone during the day.
This is because I am gone Monday to Friday for 6 - 11 hours per day. How long I gone also depends on where the house is.
The main areas I work in are Mentone, Brighton, Blackburn and Mount Waverley.
The areas I am most interested in house-sitting at are as follows :
Dandenong, Noble Park, Springvale, Mulgrave, Mentone, Mordialloc, Cheltenham, Parkdale, Brighton, St Kilda and Blackburn.
I am also able to do house-sitting (occasionally) in other parts of Victoria/Australia when I have time off work.
I have a driver license and my own car.
I work as a domestic cleaner for a company that provides inhome care to elderly and disabled people. So I will also be able to keep your home nice and clean :)
My work schedule varies a bit, but seeing as a few people have asked : I start work anywhere between 7:30am and 11:00am, and finish anywhere between 3pm and 6:30pm (6:30pm finish is rare). My longest day in a fortnight is 7:30am - 5:00pm.
I worked as a Horticulturist for seven years, so I can also look after your garden (within reason). I can do simple tasks like watering and raking. Other tasks will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
I love animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, and horses. I am comfortable looking after other types of animals - including snakes and spiders. I will follow your instructions to the best of my ability.
I treat peoples' homes with respect. I am also excellent at conserving things, particularly water. I use, on average, around 110 litres of water per day (with no garden).
I am a non-smoker and a non-drinker.
I have a police clearance (completed in January 2024).
I must be able to wear my shoes inside. This is because I wear orthotics, so taking shoes with laces off (and putting them on again) frequently is time consuming. Alternatively, if your floors are mostly carpet, I could wear shoe covers.
I hope you will consider having me as your house sitter.
Luci
