Introduction

Hello my name is Jacinta and I am a fit and active 51 year old that loves animals! My children have recently left home and I have sold the family home and I am enjoying undertaking some travel and part time study via distance education. I would treat and love your home and pet as if they were my own and I am an avid gardener so I would welcome any chance to care for your property outside as well as inside. I have received a National Police check on.the 31st March 2017 and I have NO offences or pending cases against me. I can share a copy of this check. I am a strict non- smoker and I cannot stay in a home where there has been smoking inside the home.

House Sitting Experience

I am currently house sitting for a friend in Shepparton while she recovers from a prolonged injury. I maintain the garden by regularly mowing the lawn, watering plants and some weeding. I sweep paths and keep the inside of the house clean and tidy.

I have also helped neighbours and friends by caring for animals and collecting mail, taking out rubbish and turning lights on and off to give their homes a "lived in" look.

    Jacinta house sat for our family this January (2018). She looked after our house and more importantly our two dogs. We came home to our house cleaner than when we left it! The gardens were well kept and all the plants watered and happy. The dogs loved Jacinta and despite some significant challenges Jacinta managed to ensure the dogs were happy, well walked and not missing us. Overall I would highly recommend Jacinta, she was responsive, polite and a really great house sitter :)

    To Whom It May Concern,

    We went on and overseas holiday from June 2017 for 5 weeks. Our cat Elizabeth is our precious fur-baby and so we were determined that nothing but the best care would do for her.

    We interviewed a few potential house sitters, but we had reservations. We happened upon Jacinta it was obvious from the moment we saw her that she truly loves animals, and more importantly, my Elizabeth (cat) who usually will not tolerate anyone else, let her pet and rubbed up against Jacinta on their first meeting.

    During our time overseas, Jacinta kept in contact with us, kept us updated on how Elizabeth was and what they were getting up to, and even sending pictures of Elizabeth via text. It gave us such peace of mind being connected to home and hearing that she was ok.

    When we got home after our holiday, the house was in a better condition than when I left it!!!!

    I have no hesitation in recommending Jacinta for anyone who is after a house sitter who is responsible, courteous, well experienced with animals and trustworthy.

    I am happy to be contacted for a verbal reference should you need it.

    Yours sincerely,

    Margaret, Dino & Elizabeth



    Sitters response:
    Thank you so much Margaret for your kind words. I love Miss Elizabeth so much, she is such a funny and intelligent baby!

    I have known Jacinta for several years. Jacinta kindly cared for my cat Tumbelina on a many occasions over nearly a year while I was away for holidays and weekends. Tumbelina is ageing and a bit difficult. She is deaf and needa regular arthritic medications. There's not many people 8 would leave her with and not many people she accepta but she loves Jacinta and was always happy and content when I got home (almost indifferent to me!)

    In addition to looking after my cat, Jacinta would look after the house turning lights on and off, collecting mail and putting out rubbish. I trust her completely. Once when a neighbour was doung some work impacting my house she let me know straight away.

    I highly recommend Jacinta as a caring, reliable and responsible person, she's a total cat lover and trustworthy. When she gives her word, you can count on it. Melinda D.

    Jacinta lived at our home in Austria for 6 weeks in January - February 2017.. Jacinta was responsible for most of the cooking and cleaning and for looking after our active dog Timi and looking after our 15 chickens.

    Timi would walk with Jacinta most days to do the food shopping and he would also go running with Jacinta or on a long walk. Timi also enjoyed playing with Jacinta and having lots of pats and cuddles. Jacinta had a great rapport with Timi and after a couple of weeks was following her around and sleeping besides her on the floor.

    The house was always clean and Jacinta was a quiet and considerate guest. And every one love Jacinta.

    I highly recommend Jacinta as a tidy house guest and as a caring and responsible pet carer. If you require verification of this information please email me at martin.weinhandl@bnet.at
