In good health non-smoker. Prefer a quiet lifestyle. No partner on the horizon. Enjoy the company that comes with social outings. Enjoy listening to music and being outdoors in nature.

Love my Border Collie "Minty" (female 11 year old). She is desexed, in good health for her age, friendly with other dogs and safe around children. Her vaccinations are current and has microchip. Minty is familiar with cats, chickens and other animals in general.

My previous professions include Counsellor, documentary filmmaker, electronics technician ex-military.

I did spend 12 months in China as a contract English teacher.

I have five grand-children.

Occasionally enjoy photography and acrylic painting. Outdoor activities hiking camping cycling and kayaking . Singer musician ukulele.

I have been house sitting for the past 8 years and in that time had experience with most pets.

I do prefer house sits that run for medium to long term (4-6+ weeks 6 months+) but will consider any house sit if I have a short gap between house sits. I do ask permission to be allowed limited occupancy of the home while house-sitting.

I am retired and therefore 24/7 spend all my time caring for pets and the security/maintenance of homeowner's property.

I am experienced in yard/garden maintenance

Special note: In some of the homeowners reviews there is mentioned a friend of mine (Evert) who for a time was housesitting with me.

Evert did a wonderful job on the ride-on mower,mowing a few acres . The whole yard looked wonderful on our arrival home.The house was as I had left it. I would highly recommend them. Pauls dog Minty was a very calm dog. Great company for our dog.”

“Paul and Evert were wonderful to have in our house looking after our cat and dog above and beyond the call of duty and all other household requirements. So much so that we have rebooked them.”

“We had Paul and Evert come mind our home and much-loved pooch for 2 weeks over the Christmas break and could not fault them. They took our Maxie for a walk every day and looked after my garden very well. We came home to bread and milk, and various other food so didn't have to go running to the shops immediately. We highly recommend these men to look after your home and pets.”

“Paul was a fantastic house sitter. He was so accomodating as we had to change our travel plans twice and Paul didn’t hesitate to oblige. We were worried about leaving our 14 year old border collie but Paul was amazing with him. Paul’ s dog Minty is beautiful and so well behaved. Paul left the house in a tidier condition than when we left, everything was perfect. He responded to all our messages very quickly and sent photos. He also managed to meet our cat, which no one else has done, she normally stays hidden under the bed. I have no hesitation in recommending Paul & Minty to house sit their home and pets. Not only a great house sitter but a lovely, caring person. Thank you Paul”

“Paul was a wonderful house and pet sitter. Our dog and cat were looked after very well and our dog loved Pauls dog Mintys company. He kept in touch regularly while we were away for 6 weeks, sending photos and updates of our property. Paul went above and beyond by picking us up at the Brisbane airport. Driving from the Gold Coast to pick us up around midnight after letting us know we had no public transport by the time we got through customs. I would highly recommend Paul to look after your pets while you get away for a holiday. We felt very comfortable to enjoy our trip without having to worry about our pets and home. Thank you Paul”
