We were fortunate to have Laurel and Rod not only look after our tourism accommodation business, but our home and pet dog, Tillie, while we took two much appreciated international holidays. They were both totally honest, reliable and fully committed to maintaining the operation of not only our business, but our substantial residence, pet and extensive gardens. We simply could not fault their commitment and execution in looking after and maintaining our business and premises on these two occasions and would look forward to having them back when next we go on holiday, should they be available. An exceptional couple, highly recommended for any house sitting position that they should choose to accept. Regards Rob & Toni Swansea Tasmania

Our family experienced a negative example of housesitting in 2017 leaving us anxious to put our home in the hands of strangers once more. Rod & Laurels' recent 5 month care of our home, however, has been excellent. Our gardens and plants have been well cared for; our lawns much improved. Our home has also been well cared for, and our collie dogs returned to us thriving. Rod & Laurel have been generous and accomodating; changing their own arrangements to extend their stay with us many times. Efficient; professional - they went beyond the call of duty to leave our home perfectly clean and well managed; even sewing new cushions and children's toys . They are friendly; responsible; honest; willing to follow instructions; resourceful; good communicators and genuinely helpful. Rod & Laurel have restored our trust in the housesitting world, fulfilled our exacting requirements and left our home better than they found it.

Laurel and Rod are wonderful hours sitters. They took the time to meet me and my dogs beforehand so we were no longer strangers. Communicating with them was very easy. They gave us such peace of mind while we were away.
We returned to find happy pets, a clean and tidy home and they'd even gone above and beyond folding our washing and mowing the lawn.
We are so grateful.

We were truly blessed to have Rod and Laurel hold the fort for our six weeks away. Our cats and dogs adored the love and care that was lavished upon them-weekly photo updates put our minds at ease regarding this. The garden and pool was maintained thoroughly. Equally important, we felt real simpatico with this lovely couple. Well travelled, ready to take the initiative, successfully building links with our neighbours- we loved meeting them. We truly hope to have them hold the fort for us in the future.

We found Laurel and Rod to be fantastic home and pet sitters, the home and gardens were well maintained in a clean and neat condition. our pets Max (the dog) and Delta (the chook) were well loved and cared for. we were kept up to date with photos and the wellbeing of Max and Delta. We highly recommend Laurel and Rod to anyone needing a house/pet sitter.

I can't compliment Rod & Laurel enough, they are so caring & thoughtful, they looked after our home, our 2 precious dogs, fish & birds. They go over & above to ensure everything is done to the owners wishes, they love animals & cared for our 2 dogs like they were their own. It is such peace of mind when holidaying to have people like this that you can trust, I can't recommend them highly enough,, Thanks Guys.

Laurel and Rod are superb housesitters. We recently had them look after our home and our three Bichons. The dogs were well looked after and thoroughly enjoyed being cared by Laurel and Rod. It was great to get photos of the pups being cuddled - they were obviously not at all concerned about us leaving them. Our home was left in excellent condition. We have no hesitation in having them come again for Christmas and cannot recommend them highly enough.
