Please see our intro video, available in our photos.

Hi there, our names are Jaymie and Luke. I (Luke) am originally from the West Midlands in the UK and I've been in Australia since 2018. Jaymie is originally from Brighton in the UK and moved to Australia when he was 12 (a few years ago...!). We have been in a relationship since 2018. We are both Australian Citizens.

We are currently living on the Northern Rivers as our last sit was situated here. Prior to this we resided in Lismore (4 dogs, goldfish), Binna Burra (15 acres, 1 horse, 1 dog, 3 steer, pool and spa) and Wisemans Ferry (25 acres, 2 cows, 1 horse, 2 dogs and turkeys/chickens/roosters and 1 snake).

We are both government workers. I work for Service NSW and Jaymie work for NSW Health both in full-time capacities work full-time from home - hence the move out of Sydney. We have continuous rental references available (with contact names) on request. We also have current Police Checks available due to our employment. It does help that we do not have to go to an office!

We enjoy an active lifestyle what with daily gym bootcamps, eating healthily and often prefer movie nights over a bottle of red and a good horror flick. We are not party animals and prefer the relaxed comfort of each other and close friends. We currently have large lawns that we maintain. Unfortunately we do not own any pets at this stage and are both non-smokers with no children. Lastly we have completed a farm hand course and have experience with livetstock. We also have experience with maintaining large gardens and swimming pools/spas.

We came across this platform initially as good friends had utilised the site due to travelling interstate and wanted a temporary base until their house was sold and the new lease commenced.

The platform intrigues us as it gives us both the opportunity to add savings to our existing house deposit, whilst giving the opportunity to experience new relationships whilst potentially giving our love and time to a much loved pet(s).

Ideally we are looking for a minimum of 3 months to 1 year stay throughout 2024 (please check our availability on our profile for available dates) however open to other situations based on your requirements.

We both have grown up with animals both in family and individual capacity; dogs and cats in particular however we love all animals. Jaymie's late mother was an avid horse rider and continues her charity work still. Luke's grandmother currently rides and shows horses.

Please note we DO NOT CHARGE for our house/farm sits.

Feel free to get in touch should you have any specific questions or to arrange a facetime so we can meet each other’s energies. You an also learn more about us by visiting our website. Please contact us for the link.

It is with pleasure that we endorse and strongly recommend Jaymie and Luke as house sitters. Caring, responsible, trustworthy and personable; Jaymie and Luke are super lovely professional people who looked after our home, extensive gardens, acreage, pool, spa, horse, cattle and most importantly our very spoilt dog with distinction. We so appreciated their regular updates, photos and videos whilst we were overseas. Jaymie and Luke’s care and affection for our demanding GSP dog was wonderful ... MORE

Couldn't have went better, the guys are lovely and communication was great. The house and dogs were in great hands. Highly recommended
 
BARRY (Botany NSW, Apr 2024 - 5 nights)
Jaymie & Luke, looked after our animals & home while we were away for 6 months. They did an outstanding job caring our animal menagerie, chooks, turkeys, cows, horse & 2 dogs, which included regular Vet visits for 1 of our dogs. We live on acreage & they handled the many challenges that go with it. Electric fences, pumps & irrigation, mowing & general maintenance around the house, orchard & paddocks. We came home to very clean & tidy house, just as we left it. Communication was excellent. ... MORE
 
SUSAN & ANTHONY (Maroota NSW, Apr 2023 - 6 months)
Luke and Jaymie were amazing housesitters, looking after 3 dogs (one on medication) and approx 20 pot plants. They sent me pictures on a daily basis of my dogs and were always available to contact day or night. They left my place spotless (possibly cleaner then I did!) and also had replaced household items that were used. I highly recommended them both, and hope to use them again in the future! Please note stay dates were actually 28/12 to the 1/1/23.

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
