Here's a little about us:

We are avid animal lovers, who have been traveling the east coast of Australia house and pet sitting. This is our first time using a website, we normally work using word of mouth.

Rachael (myself), use to work as a hotel cleaner but now is studying for an online university degree to become a primary school teacher; which means she will be at the home premise the majority of the time. She has extensive experience with many kinds of animals. Caring for many breeds of cats (inside and outside cats), along with cattle dogs, kelpies, dachshunds, fox terriers, jack Russell, poodles, and border collies, from puppies to the elderly (19yrs old). In addition, she has cared for rabbits, mice, guinea pigs, rats, rainbow lorikeets, budgies, cockatiels, chickens, and ducks.
She has a hobby for training dogs (rewards-based training) to do various tasks such as lead training, and basic commands such as, sitting, lying down, and playing dead, These skills can be utilized at the owners' request.

Rachael is also a fond plant lover, she has a strong connection to plants, having tended to vegetable gardens of varying sizes, flowers, and the occasional carnivore plant.


Ben works casually as a butcher when we are in a location long enough for him to obtain work.

Ben is a fond lover of dogs. You will find him making friends with every dog he passes in the street. He has high energy levels, which allows him to keep up with the energy of working dogs, but is adaptable for pets that require cuddles. He creates a strong bond with the animals in his care treating them as if they were his own. His passion for dogs has led to him gaining knowledge of the different personal requirements for different breeds of dogs. His love of animals does not stop at dogs he has a passion for cats, He likes learning about the different personalities cats can have from playful, and cuddly to independent cats and the varying way they like to play.

We are both routine people finding it easy to adapt to the routines of a new household, to complete all tasks and chores in a timely manner, and keep up with the up keeps of the home and animals within.

We are flexible with locations and length of time, just contact us regarding location and we will endeavor to reply to you.
(We do not cover utility costs)

Thank you for taking the time to read our profile, we hope to care for your home and animals soon.



We are looking forward to chatting with you.

Rachel and Ben were reliable house sitters, kept the house clean, and most importantly took great care of my dog and parrot. They communicated regularly and well. I recommend them as house sitters.

Rachael and Ben are a very enthusiastic and friendly couple who have a great connection with animals and loved the country environment of our farm, even when it rained! Our two German Shepherds loved them, Ben diligently checked the electric fences so our cows and bull were safely in their paddocks and well fed during the Winter months. My wombats that were being prepared for release were fed and fences checked regularly as well as Rachael keeping a watchful eye on those wombats that were ... MORE

Just back from 3 week holiday. Rachael and Ben took great care of the house and garden but more importantly Buddy the dog. Communication has been great with regular updates and videos.
