Honest Mature Responsible House Sitter Reviews

4.9 Rating 33 Reviews
Read Mindahome Reviews

My name is James.
I am a mature, honest, responsible and reliable Australian, retired, with 8 years full time house and pet minding experience.
As I am a full time house sitter, I do not have any pets of my own.
I have over 85 5 star reviews.
I am a non-smoker and of sober habits.
I do ask if you have a reliable internet connection.
I am in the home environment most of the time, which means your home and beloved pets benefit from a virtual 24/7 personalized service.
I am also experienced in caring for pets that require medication, and/or require special care due to ongoing illness or trauma.
I have completed many house sitting assignments, looking after a variety of domestic pets (dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs) and farm animals (cows, bulls, goats, ducks, chickens, horses, and alpacas).
I'm particularly fond of all animals, and would enjoy the opportunity to care for your pets as my own.
My hobbies and interests include: singing and song writing, Yoga, Pilates, meditation, Tai Chi, and diet related health.
I also appreciate the value and importance of a home, and have always endeavoured to care for homes I live in as if they were my own.
I would be more than happy to chat with you initially via phone, about your house and pet sitting needs further at a mutually convenient time.
Moving forward from our initial phone discussion, I can then organise a contactless meet and greet via Zoom.
I hope to hear from you and look forward to being able to house sit your home, care for your property, and look after your beloved pets.
Kind Regards
James

“James did a fabulous job once again caring for our home, gardens & chooks while we were away for three weeks. Everything looked perfect on our return and the house better than we left it. We can highly recommend James for anyone looking for a great house & pet sitter. Thanks James, see you next time, J&J.”

“We had the absolute pleasure of having James mind our home and our 13 year-old Golden Retriever recently. She required special care due to her age and a recent medical episode. James was very professional and communicated extremely well throughout the process and sent us regular photographs of our girl during the stay. Upon our return, our home was in immaculate condition and our dog beautifully groomed and cared for. We would highly recommend James as an excellent MindaHome sitter and would certainly choose him if needed in the future.”

“Fantastic job once again, thank you James. Your care for our beloved dog Billy was outstanding and it was comforting to know he was happy at home in your company. The house and surrounds were kept beautifully clean and tidy. Chooks and gardens well cared for also. Well done, thanks and see you again soon. Jeff & Julie.”

“James, James, James! OMG what a wonderful experience we had with James as our pet/house sitter. We have one very anxious cat, an old, quirky (prone to having things break for no reason) property, and we have always had so many jitters leaving for long periods because of this. James could not have been a better sitter! He coaxed our weird cat out of his anxiety within days, took care of our property like it was his own, kept us up to date so we felt a weight lifted off our shoulders the whole time we were away... I can't recommend him enough. And I hope he will be back at our property again in the very near future! Thank you so much James for giving us the most stress free experience, and giving our cats so much love x”

“I can highly recommend James to look after your home and pets. James took care of our home and 2 cats for a week and we came home to a house cleaner than we left and our cats happy. James communicated very well and kept in touch while we were away.”

“We had a great experience with James and would happily recommend him. Communication was excellent throughout our time away, and he regularly sent photos and updates of our cats which the kids absolutely loved. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pets were being so well cared for and getting plenty of attention. When we arrived home, the house was clean and tidy, and the gardens and yard had also been looked after beautifully. It was obvious James took pride in caring for both our pets and our home. We would definitely use him again in the future.”

“James cared for our home and our girl Freya. James did a great job ensuring the plants and birds survived the extreme heat and conditions. The house was well maintained and we were greeted by a healthy and excited dog when we returned. We highly recommend James.”
