Introduction
We are a loving and happy couple who've been together for twelve years. I am 40 and Matthew (Matty), is 36.
Some time ago we decided we would like to experience more than just the usual two or four week holiday each year, so we worked hard to get ourselves into a position where we could leave everything behind in Australia and take our time to really explore the rest of the world, starting
with Central America. We left home in early February 2011 and since then we've explored a little of California, Mexico, Guatamala, Panama and Costa
Rica and lived in various places in Mexico. We have done a medium-term house sit in Ajijic, a very long-term house sit in Chapala (Jalisco) and another long-term house sit in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. We study Spanish and we love being able to soak up the culture. I can do a little tutoring in English if I wish and Matty, being a freelance Hydrographic Surveyor, works all over the world on a fly-in/fly-out basis, usually 4 weeks at a time. I practice yoga and Vipassana meditation. Matty is a surfer. We are both non-smokers and we love to cook and eat great food. We both do a lot of walking and reading too.

Why I want to housesit
We are interested in house sitting because it fits in so well with our travels. The idea of immersing ourselves in a city/town/culture, to us, is far more rewarding than ‘just passing through’. We intend to be away from Australia for at least another 2 years, and in that time we hope to explore the rest of Central and South America, and eventually North America and Canada. House sitting will allow us to do this.
What I bring to the assignment / relevant experience
Generally we are very flexible with dates and open to short, medium and long-term house sits. We have our own car here in Mexico.
We are more than happy to look after (and we have experience with) pets as well as your house, gardens and/or pool. We have completed 3 medium/long-term house sits here in Mexico, all with pets and great references. My Spanish is coming along nicely and I am very confident managing the household staff, paying bills and organising tradesmen if needed.
We have done house sits for friends in Australia and have experience living in and managing the ongoing upkeep of our own lovely home and saltwater pool.
For home owners with pets, Matty and I both grew up with various animals in and around our family homes – cats and dogs (even cows and donkeys) – all very much part of the family. Sadly, our last dog passed away in 2010, however the silver lining to this is that we are now free to travel
extensively. The opportunity to love and care for someone else’s animals gives us that special companionship that we miss so much.
We have been house sitting through different websites for over 2 years and have many excellent references which are not able to be uploaded onto this site. If you would like to see our references, or contact them personally, please ask us and we will happily provide the details for you. We look forward to hearing from you.
Gracias!
