About Leslie b.
Social Worker
We are an active couple in our 60's. Leslie has recently retired, which now allows us freedom to travel more often. Before retirement Gery worked as a Human Resources Manager and Leslie worked as a social worker. We have a house with a garden, which we take great pleasure in. We love cats and dogs and view them as part of one's family and happily provide them the love & attention they need.
We love to travel and tend to stay long term so that we can experience the local culture and people in more depth. We are proud of our home and assume others are as well and so care for the places we stay when we travel as if it is our own.
Other activities that we enjoy are kiteboarding, pets, gardening, cycling, hiking, photography, cooking, reading and listening to music. Because of just recently retiring we have not yet had an opportunity to house/pet sit and are looking forward to doing so.

Brisbane, Australia - April 2018
This was our first long term house sitting assignment and it was a wonderful experience. The owners are very kind and welcoming. From our initial video chat, through our arrival and departure, we felt comfortable all the way. Communication with them was great and they are very responsive. Their home is lovely and very comfortable. They have a very sweet pup named Duffy and he was a joy to be around. Unfortunately, we experienced a medical crisis with Duffy but after some challenges and recovery, it all ended well. Though we had some communication challenges with the owners being on the other side of the world, they were quick to respond and follow up regarding Duffy's condition once we made contact. It's difficult to be so far away when your fur baby is sick. The owner's were kind enough to allow us to bring our own dog and cat to this house sitting assignment. The three animals got along very well and seem to enjoy hanging out, walking and playing together. Duffy was so calm and non-territorial, he's great around other animals! He would be a great dog to take to a house sitting assignment as he is calm, easy and well behaved. Nothing seems to phase him. I would highly recommended this house sit and would do it again if the situation presented itself.
