Hello!!! I am an adventurous 59.9 year old (32 mentally) widower with an energetic and equally adventurous 10 year old son, and traveling with our adopted Uncle on this trip.

Three of us.

We recently completed a 2 year caravan lap around Aussie. We, my son & I and our adopted Unlce (who doesn't do much except drink coffee and wait to be fed) are heading to New Zealand November 1 to December 20th and would love to housesit for you (as we all love animals, and enjoy staying in a community for more than a day). Your animals will be asking my son for a break from playing. :)

My profession has been as a video producer so I have been trusted with tens of thousands of dollars of equipment, often filming on and caring for private property.

I grew up in Sydney, (so I speak the Aussie lingo Mate), spent 38 years in the USA, and 2.5 years completing an MA degree in Jerusalem, Israel. We've been back in Aussie over 4 years now, since "Penal Conlony Part 2, 2020..."

We are committed Christians (we won't force anything on you) but our faith comes with the idea to treat others better, including your property, plants and pets.

My late wife turned my thumb green, and we both enjoyed and loved animals. We had 2 inside cats back in the US who were our kids. I kept chickens when I was a teen, and have visited friends farms often, have also cared for a few farmsits, so I feel very comfortable on the land.

We hope we can serve you in this very special place.

Thanks Gill, Loved staying at your place and taking care of the fur babies!!! I miss Nala!❤️❤️❤️
Paul and Elijah were wonderful home and farm sitters! We had to leave before welcoming them, but they worked everything out with ease. The animals were all expertly cared for and our home was clean and tidy (with a welcoming fire going) when we returned. We would absolutely recommend Paul and Elijah for any further house sits! Thanks so much guys!!! And we hope the rest of you NZ adventure is going well. Nga mihi, Greg and Maree

PAULINE (Cooma NSW, Jul 2024 - 2 weeks 2 nights) From Aussie House Sitters
Paul and Elijah treated our house like their own home. And more. Leaving a farm feels like an impossible task, but nothing was too hard for Paul. They fed the dogs and chooks, checked the water troughs and electric fences daily, and even turned their hands at putting out hay and moving cows - embracing farm life to the full. Nothing was too much to ask. We came home to fit and healthy dogs thanks to all the play and attention they got from Elijah - I am sure they are disappointed he has gone! ... MORE
 
NICOLA (Busselton WA, Dec 2023 - 3 weeks) From Aussie House Sitters
Paul, Elijah and grandma were a delight to have look after my home and Lao, my dog. I came home to an immaculate house and a dog well loved. Paul sent me regular updates and photos which I greatly appreciated, both about Lao and the house as well. I had planted some new shrubs in the week before the sit and Paul watered the shrubs through hot weather and they survived. I even had a tenant for the cottage while I was away and Pauls family managed the clean and change over with no problems. I ... MORE
