Jaimes Adlington

52, Tour Guide

Hi I'm Jaimes.

***ONLY SITTING CATS/FISH in MELBOURNE area due to my job - until further notice***

I'm a 52 yo father of 5 (pictured with my youngest daughter) and grandfather of 5 who loves housesitting and looking after pets of all kinds.

I believe it is a privilege to be left in charge of looking after your home and your beloved pets, your fur babies, who are part of your family.

I am a very experienced, trustworthy and mature house sitter, a non-smoker, who will keep your home even cleaner than you left it !

I will ensure your pets will keep their regular routine so they feel just as at home with me as they do with you, and with your permission will spoil them with treats at every opportunity ! 😀

I believe in regular communication with you as homeowner, and will gladly send regular updates and photos of your house and pets as and when required.

I am quite handy in the garden, and am happy to water gardens, mow lawns, and do small odd jobs around your home.

I am an animal lover - having previously owned a pug, 2 Boxers, and several cats, but have also looked after fish, birds, turtles, reptiles and horses.

In summary, I am your dream house sitter 😀!

I have two cats and this was my first time using a house sitter unknown to me. Upon meeting, Jaimes put me at immediate ease. A head boop given by one of my cats Tonka at their first meet and greet confirmed his approval. Jaimes took great care of them being careful to make sure no escapes occurred and was patient during dinner and playtime to build trust. An eventual photo of the elusive Squirrel loafing on his lap confirmed he had been adopted. Jaimes, thank you for looking after my ... MORE

It was great to have Jaimes back to sit again. He takes very good care of Neko and my home. Would have Jaimes back anytime I go away.

Jaimes has been a great pet and house sitter. As a first time user of sitting websites, it was a relief to connect with Jaimes. I felt assured that my cat and house would be well looked after. Jaimes is easy to communicate with, keeping me updated, asking questions and helping to resolve some plumbing issues! Most importantly my cat Neko is well cared for and she loves getting to stay in her home with great company. Jaimes was flexible and available for a series of stays and I would have him ... MORE

We are very grateful to Jaimes and Maigread in their care for Floss, our home and garden. It's tough to housesit a considerable garden in summer but this did not faze them. Floss was well loved and given lots of runs and attention and there was great communication with photos. We thank them for all their work. They were very reliable and we highly recommend them.
 
SUE (Eden Hills SA, Feb 2023 - 1 week 6 days)
I was fortunate to have Jaimes and Maigread look after my 12 yr old Bulldog Rosie and 11 yr old Siamese Harry. Having older animals can mean they require more sensitive attention. Both animals were in caring hands. I was delighted to receive photos and texts to let me know all was well. When I returned home after 2 weeks the house was immaculate, the garden had been watered and Rosie and Harry looked very happy. I couldn't recommend them enough.
 
CLARE (Port Willunga SA, Jan 2023 - 2 weeks)
Jaimes and Maigread took such good care of Rufus, Sheldon and our home while we were away. I think Rufus is missing you. They sent us photos to keep us updated on how they were doing. Thank you and hope to have you back next time!
 
VICTORIA (Frankston VIC, Dec 2022 - 4 weeks)
Jaimes and Maigread made Ella (our cat) feel very comfortable from the outset. She didn't scurry off in a mad panic which is testament to their affinity with animals. Jaimes was a reliable and efficient communicator.. Both made us feel calm with the changeover and left our home as they found it. Ella was given more love than what she's been accustomed to and I have no hesitation in recommending them as Housesitters.
 
SUE (Tallai QLD, Nov 2022 - 2 weeks 3 days)
Having Jaimes and Maigread look after my Atherton Tablelands property and animals gave me great peace of mind while I was in South Africa. They are easy going, friendly people who communicated well throughout the entire process. They are trustworthy, caring house sitters, and I was confident that all my animals received the same level of care and love that I would provide. My property was in top order upon my return, grass was mowed, the cabin was spotlessly cleaned, and animals were ... MORE
 
JOHN (Tarzali QLD, Sep 2022 - 1 month 1 week)
A big thanks to Jaimes and Maigread for looking after our pets, the garden and the house. Ruby and Nila were well looked after. We felt very safe leaving the two in Jaimes and Maigread care after we met the two prior to their stay. Very lovely people. The house was spotless when we returned and the communication before and during their stay was great. If you are looking for housesitters I can highly recommend these two. We would have them back in a heartbeat.
 
NENJA (Little Mulgrave QLD, Sep 2022 - 7 days)
Lovely couple, looked after the animal kingdom fellows and the house beautifully. Kept me informed about the pets too. Would definitly have them back without question - have already broached for January next year so finger crossed. Thank you both for such a wonderful job.
 
JACQUELINE (Rye VIC, Jan 2022 - 1 week)
Jaimes and Karlene were wonderful housesitters that we'd be more than happy to engage again. Our dog and cat were so well looked after and it was so lovely returning home to such a clean and tidy house. Communication was fantastic and we loved receiving updates throughout their stay on what adventures our dog had been on. Highly recommended!
 
SUSAN (Rosebud VIC, Dec 2021 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Jaimes and Karlene were wonderful guests/sitters. Our pets and home was very well looked after and clean before we arrived home! They kept us well informed and nothing was too much trouble. They handled our temperamental cat very well. More than happy to have them sit for us again.
 
JENNA (Forest Glen QLD, Nov 2021 - 5 days)
We felt so relaxed knowing our home and pets were in great hands! Excellent and easy communication with an absolutely lovely couple, can not fault anything.
 
SKYE (Pelican Waters QLD, Nov 2021 - 4 days)
Jaimes and Karlene were absolutely adored by Bella. She had many adventures and did everything as per our instructions. Both us AND Bella were very lucky for them to dog-sit, especially due to the scary thunder storms. I would also like to add they were very timely and very flexible for when we needed them
 
FRANCESCA (Currimundi QLD, Oct 2021 - 5 days)
Jaimes and Kaylene were great sitters and the dogs miss them. They were able to extend their stay due to unforeseen circumstances which helped a great deal.
 
BRUCE (Caboolture QLD, Oct 2021 - 7 days)
The best feeling is coming home to my babies that are happy and love their housesitters. Jaimes & Karlene were amazing, doing 2 house sits for us and always keeping our house tidy. I was even able to come home for a night and feel very comfortable. I would love to have these two back anytime at all.
 
MYKAELA (Blacks Beach QLD, Aug 2021 - 6 days x 2)
Jaimes and Karlene are brilliant sitters. Good communication, they took great care of our cat, place was left beautifully clean. Highly recommend.
