Sorcha Hicks

Hello, I’m from near Glasgow, Scotland, and have just graduated from the Edinburgh University this summer. I’m currently travelling around Australia and thought house sitting would be a lovely way to combine travelling with something I genuinely enjoy: looking after animals. I’ve grown up with animals and have two family dogs at home, Pip and Rosie, whom I miss dearly while I’m away! I’ve also looked after friends’ cats while they’ve been on holiday, as well as caring for our chickens at home and my cousins’ horses. I’m comfortable around all animals, and am particularly taken by the geckos and lizards here in Australia. I’ve always loved animals and even considered becoming a vet, but realised that the clinical environment wasn’t quite right for me. I still really enjoy spending time with and caring for animals whenever I can, so house sitting feels like a great fit. I’m responsible, tidy and respectful of other people’s homes, and would treat your pets and home with the same care and attention I would give my own. I’d be very happy to keep your pets company, stick to their usual routines and give them plenty of attention. Warm regards, Sorcha
