Semi-Retired, love pets and travel Reviews

5 Rating 6 Reviews

I'm a very neat and tidy semi-retired man (Solo, It's Just Me) who loves spending time with family pets. I am fit and healthy, spend a lot of time walking and exercising, I enjoy being at home and love to spend time in the garden.
I am currently living in Perth but am originally from Melbourne.
Lately I have had the opportunity to get out and about and travel around Australia which I am really enjoying.
Over the years we have had the pleasure of having multiple pets as part of our family and somehow this managed to include 5 dogs, two cats, budgies, canaries and of course rabbits (fortunately not all at once).
Back in the day, I had experience house minding for extended periods (2017) while our home was being renovated and loved the experience and found the pets helped keep us centred during a rather busy time.
Happy to chat with anyone who is considering me (just me) as a potential house sitter and ideally I would love to meet your pet/s prior, as it is as equally important for them to feel comfortable with me as it is for you.
Current Police Check available upon request.
Cheers

“Can't speak highly enough of this gentlemen. As soon as we met Paul and saw how he immediately connected with our 3 pups, we felt comfortable and knew that they would be in safe hands. We had a bit of an issue with one of our pups who fell ill 1 week before the assignment commenced. Paul looked after her by administering the meds regularly. We received regular updates and photo's which made us feel even more comfortable. On our return, we found the house immaculate, and as Paul was preparing to depart, the pups would not leave him alone and were all over him. The next morning, they went looking for him in the bedroom where he slept. We give Paul 10 1/2 out of 10 and hope that we can have him look after our pups again in the near future.”

“Wow what can I say !! Paul was fantastic . He looked after our elderly fur baby “Ruby” like she was his own. Our indoor plants were all looking good & our home was left spotless. Also arrived home to a lovely surprise of wine, chocolates & flowers. Paul was flexible with our return travel dates which eased our minds. We got regular pics & updates on our Ruby's progress which kept me from worrying due to her age. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Paul back in an instant! Thankyou so much for everything Paul. Ruby misses you already”

“Paul took such wonderful care of our 2 pets and our home. Already at the "meet and greet" our 2 girls bonded lovely with Paul. He sent us photo updates during the stay and communicated even when a parcel arrived. He watered our garden (it was beautiful to come home to lovely ripe vegetables), took the bins out etc. and he left our place spotless (cleaned, vacuumed etc), even washed his sheets and hang them out to dry before we returned home. Will definitely asks Paul again to pet sit if he is available next time we go away :-) Thanks so much Paul for looking after our girls, it gave us such a relaxing time away, knowing our girls and our home were cared and looked after so beautiful.”

“We arrived back home after 8 weeks overseas and Paul looked after our cat, dog and home wonderfully. We couldn’t have asked for better sitter, since the first contact Paul has put our mind at peace and during our holiday we didn’t had to worry one bit. We came back home to calm and well cared for pets and our garden is lush and cared for too. Paul managed or house in a professional way and we love his communication skills too, he has a calm energy what clearly had an huge positive impact on our pets. Thanks again for everything and we won’t forget the moment coming back home to calm pets and a clean house. ❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“What can I say about Paul as I am short of words to praise him. He is such a prompt person who will go over and beyond whats needed and expected. Paul is a pleasing personality to interact with and he would do his best and more than that to make everything work. Over his stay he not only took great care of my 2 dogs but also did some of the things that were not required like changing the battery of my beeping fire alarm or changing the light of garage. He has left the place neater than it was. I cant thank him enough for what all he did and recommend him to anyone who needs a great and reliable sitter. Once again, thank you so much Paul!”
