About Margaret m.
Retired Teacher
Roy and I have decided to retire early and explore the world for a few years. We are both teachers. I ran my own educational consulting business for 15 years and Roy has also been a School Principal. We lived in New York City for several years and loved living in a different country and culture. I grew up on a farm in Australia and Roy is a city boy from Melbourne, Australia. We had a georgeous, lazy labrador dog for 15 years and two lovely cats but they have all passed away. We are very flexible in our requirements for a house sit and would like to house sit in many different countries. We are non-smokers.
We love the ideas of living in different communities rather than tourists just staying in hotels. We also think this will help our travel budget. We are willing to house sit in all sorts of places and counties and are very flexible.
Although we have not house sat before on a professional site we have looked after various friends places over the years, own our on home and have rented at various times, so we understand the responsibilities. We are honest, reliable, good at problem solving and very responsible. We will treat your home and pets as if they were our own. We are happy and easy going and get along well with animals and people.
We will leave your pets happy and your house in excellent condition. We will walk your dogs with pleasure as we love walking. We will cuddle your cats and make them feel loved or leave them alone if that is their preference. We have looked after chickens, tortoises, fish, rabbits and guinea pigs over the years. We are old enough to respect your property and young enough to look after it.
Roy has just been awarded a Pride of Australia Award for his work in Surf Life Saving Australia

Margaret and Roy were perfect housesitters for us. We were able to leave our home and our animals in their care without worry. They arrived the day before we left and immediately fitted in to our home and family and we were instantly at ease with each other. Everything in the house was cared for beautifully and left in a tidy and immaculate condition. If Margaret and Roy apply to housesit for you then jump at the chance of having them stay. You will not be disappointed!!
