PROFILE – Kathryn and Bernie
Kathryn O’Loughlin: 66, Retired Teaching Principal
Bernie McNabb: 71, Retired Property Manager
As a married couple, with a complementary skill set, we have enjoyed working together over the past 20 plus years, each in separate school leadership and property management roles.
Courtesy of us having lived in a range of communities, house/property types, locations and taking responsibility for the care of ours as well as a variety of owners’ pets, you can be assured that we are ideally suited to the task of house sitting.
Together we approach all aspects of our lives with energy and 100% commitment to reaching high standards for looking after your property and possessions and tending to the needs of your pets.
We fully understand how important it is to the home and pet owner to be able to trust that their instructions be followed during their absence. We pride ourselves on our integrity and the respect we always show through our efforts to do so.
Since the 1980’s our reputation for being hard working, practical people has led to us regularly being requested to house sit for friends and family on a casual
basis.
Our recent retirement means we can now advertise our availability more widely to create a win-win opportunity for ourselves and those seeking reliable, capable house and pet sitters.
Please feel free to contact Kathryn on 027 758 1520 or Bernie on 027 758 1520.
We are looking forward to hearing from you.
