Hello Home Owner, and thank you for taking the time to consider this application for house sitting your home.
Recently returned back home to Melbourne after 3 years living the van life dream travelling up and down the east coast during the pandemonium with masks, lockdowns and sourcing toilet paper.
As a fellow home owner, there is a deep level of appreciation for adopting high standards when it comes to property care and cleanliness.
With 30+ jobs experience over 2 years as a sitter, there has been referrals and re-bookings from previous clients within this community.
As a tidy and respectful house sitter, on offer is a reliable and strict security minded candidate focussed on providing you with peace of mind that your home is in good safe hands, and your pets are loved and cherished in your absence.
Services include pet care for cats, placid dogs, birds, aquarium creatures, and other pets upon discussion; gardening; watering plants; basic pool maintenance; mail collection; and general cleaning. When you arrive back from your holiday, your home will be in a better condition before you left.
Glowing references from previous property owners are available upon request.
To provide you with a level of comfort and confidence with your decision making, it may be desirable for you to set up a time for us to meet in person and get a feel for one another.
A phone call is always welcomed in the first instance.
With kindness and sincerity,
Mark

Mark is the WOW factor and a class above the rest in comparison to other house sitters I have used in the past. From the moment we met, he had such a glowing energy and instantly a bond was formed with our whiskered fur baby and myself. I found Mark to be trustworthy and sincere in his demeanour. Throughout the sit, there was ample communication, and receiving video messages was a nice touch. He went above and beyond with cleanliness and even mowed the lawns when it was an optional duty.

Throughout the sit, there was ample communication, and receiving video messages was a nice touch. He went above and beyond with cleanliness and even mowed the lawns when it was an optional duty. Upon return, the house was left in an immaculate condition, and there was a beautiful hamper of goodies. Mark is truly a breath of fresh air, and I highly recommend to others. Mark is an absolute gentleman, and it's very rare to come across people like that these days. Hope we meet again one day.
JULIE (Holloways Beach QLD, Jan 2023 - 3 weeks)
Mark was an outstanding house sitter. Mark got five stars on dimension because 1o wasn't an option.
Our dog is only one yet Mark won him over quickly and we returned to very relaxed and contented dog.
Our plants are flourishing and the house is spotless.
We had regular communication with Mark including photos so we never worried for a minute about our house, pet or plants.
In short we can't recommend Mark highly enough.

JUSTIN (Torquay VIC, Apr 2024 - 2 weeks 6 nights)
Mark was an awesome housesitter and carer for our active whippet and cat and sent daily pics and updates. Mark is gentle, kind, considerate and an excellent communicator and we would recommend him unreservedly if you’re looking for someone to take care of your pets and home whilst you’re away. Mark is a natural with animals and was happy to take our dog for twice daily walks and be shadowed whenever he was at home by both animals.
ROWENA (Hampton VIC, Mar 2024 - 1 week)
We were so forunate to have Mark recommended to us by a friend who also used him via this site. He came twice in the lead-up to the sit to make our pets comfortable with his presence and answered any queries we had promptly.
He left our home in an impeccable condition and made sure we would be welcomed home.

I cannot recommend him highly enough to any future clients.
Mark is a beautiful soul and I am so glad he took care of our dog Florence while we were away. His communication was amazing and our house was spotless when we returned. He even left some snacks and goodies on the counter for us. 110% recommend Mark 🌸😊
Our first house sitter through Aussie House Sitter service proved to be a most successful one. We decided on Mark from the glowing reviews that were provided, and our decision was the right one. We established an immediate rapport with Mark, and were able to leave our home, and more importantly our little dog Gemma, satisfied that all would be well. We can only say that if you want some one to care for your precious pet, to maintain your home then Mark is that person. Thank you so much and all ...

TONY AND AMBER (Robina QLD, Jan 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
Mark is wonderful house sitter; he looked after our home and our animals with the same care and respect as if they were his own.
It was a pleasure to have Mark look after our house for us while we were away, and we wouldn't hesitate to ask Mark back again.
LUCY (Chermside West QLD, Jan 2024 - 2 weeks)
Mark was a delightful , thoughtful and respectful house and pet sitter. He took great care of our dogs whilst we were away, administering daily eye drops, walking and feeding them and most importantly giving them lots of company and cuddles.
He was very respectful of our home and left it in an immaculate state. He even showered us with a very thoughtful gift basket of goodies on our return. Our puppies even scored some pet treats and were very appreciative!

Mark was absolutely amazing as a House Sitter. If you are lucky enough to have him considering housesitting your home and pets then you should grab him while you can. We have already rebooked him for another sit later this year as he was so fabulous. Mark was really caring with the pets and sent us daily photos and videos of how they were doing.

Mark is a genuinely lovely person we would thoroughly recommend him.
Mark was very thorough with our initial handover before going away and maintained excellent communication whilst we were away.

Mark is a five star house sitter, he is simply amazing and this is a suitably glowing review! Mark stayed for two weeks and cared for our dog and garden. Mark is communicative, organised, honest, reliable, capable, calm, respectful, delightful and kind. Nothing was a problem for him and we came home after a relaxing and worry free holiday to happy and healthy dog, and a clean home. Mark is always welcome in our home, in fact, we can't wait to plan another holiday and to ask Mark to stay again! ...

Mark is really nice person. He is also the best home, garden & furball carer we have ever had.
If you have the chance to be helped by him we would absolutely suggest you take that opportunity. Very much 5 stars 🌟
RON & SUE (& KIRRA!!) (Molendinar QLD, Nov 2023 - 10 days)
As first time users of this service, we were were understandably a little anxious, but Mark put us instantly at ease and proved to be an exceptional house-sitter. Our 3-year-old Staffy, who is accustomed to being the sole focus of attention, was noticeably content, healthy, and relaxed upon our return.

DEANNA (Thorneside QLD, Oct 2023 - 10 days)
Mark has sat for us twice now, his communication, care for our home and above all his care for out pets was exceptional. His calm demeanour and quiet way was exactly what our nervous dog needed and she took to Mark quite quickly. We can not recommend Mark highly enough and would gladly have him back again to sit.
JOANNE AND JEFF (Redland Bay QLD, Oct 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
Mark exceeded our expectations and allowed us to have an overseas holiday without a worry in the world. He was attentive and very caring with our puppy, the communication and weekly updates were reassuring and gave us great comfort in knowing that both our home and dog were in good hands.
The house, indoor plants and gardens were well looked after and Mark even started my car for me throughout our month away so that I came home to a working battery!

We hadn’t used a house or pet sitter before but as soon as we made contact with Mark he helped us through the process in a professional and friendly manner. We instantly knew we’d chosen the right person to care for our home and dog. I would highly recommend Mark and will look no further than him for all future sits. He’s exceptional!
MELANIE (Manly QLD, Sep 2023 - One month)
Mark is a top class house sitter, he took wonderful care of our 2 15 year old Shi Tzu's and our house was left in immaculate condition. The communication we received from Mark was wonderful, regular updates with all the relevant photo's. From the first meeting with Mark until the final day of his house sit, Mark was most professional and we would have no hesitation in recommending Mark at all
GLYNIS (Sanctuary Cove QLD, Aug 2023 - 3 weeks)
Mark was an exceptional house sitter. His attention to detail was unparelleled and I felt completely comfortable leaving our home and our pets in his care.
We returned home to a delightfully clean and tidy home, and even some goodies for us and the kids. Our kitty cat seemed perfectly content, and non-plussed (she's usually anxious so this was a great sign). Mark communicated perfectly throughout the time he was at our home and I couldn't recommend him more.
Thank you Mark!
HANA (Springfield Lakes QLD, Aug 2023 - 1 week 5 nights)
Thank you so much to Mark for house sitting for me whilst attending the Ashes series. He went above and beyond taking care of my dachshund, Trigger by keeping him company and making sure he was kept busy with lots of walks. He was in great spirits on my return and looked happy and healthy. The house was left clean and tidy. I could not have asked for a better sitter and would use Mark to house sit for me again. I highly recommend Mark for any of your house sitting requirements.
DAVID (Tweed Heads South NSW, Jul 2023 - 3 weeks)
Mark is such a gem. I knew when we met online that he would be the right fit for us. In fact we both connected straight away when he came for a visit. Mark's communication is fantastic and replies in a very timely manner. He is detailed and very clear. Mark looked after our beloved Selby very well and he has a real love for animals. The house was neat as a pin when we got home. I felt very at ease with having Mark as my house sitter and I don't hesitate in recommending him.

Mark was the ideal house sitter. Very easy going and friendly in all interactions and kept us updated during our holiday. He took good care of the pets and left the house very clean and tidy inside and out. We could not have expected more. We are most grateful.

Upon meeting Mark before the house sit, it was clear that he was calm, kind and had a vested interest in ensuring that my house a furchild would be well looked after. While I was away, Mark sent clear and thorough communication (including very cute photos of my cat) about how everything was going at home. I arrived home to a spotless house, and some things were tidier than I’d left them! My shy cat seemed quite happy with Mark, and it was clear that she had been well looked after. I’m grateful ...

To Mark,
Thanks for doing a great job with taking care of our cat. I was pleased in the way you in which you respected our home and took good care of our possessions. I can't find fault with you.
I'm happy to provide a reference, please feel free for you to pass on my number.
