CoupleRodrigo grew up on a cattle farm with multiple horses, and is even trained in breaking in horses. Sophia is super comfortable around farm animals, big and small, and enjoys visiting Rodrigo's family farm in Brazil where she gets to feed all the farm animals!

Hello future home-sit!
We are an Australian (Sophia)/Brazilian (Rodrigo) married couple who are very lucky to working remotely in 2024. We decided to rent our home on the Sunshine Coast in QLD, whilst we housesit in NSW, because we are considering making a smaller coastal NSW community our new home in the future, and housesitting has been amazing to explore regions and attend house inspections.
As we work from home, we are ideal for those who want someone at home during the day to take care of their beloved pets and give them attention. Every couple of months, one of us will travel to Sydney for work for a few days, but that's okay because one of us will always remain at the home-sit during this time to hang out with your furry loved one.
We are passionate about exploring new places, walking/hiking to explore our surroundings, finding hidden waterfalls, surfing (Rodrigo), running (Sophia), and enjoying life in a quieter township.
Rodrigo grew up in Brazil with 4 x German Shepherds, horses, cows, pigs (you name it!) as he lived between Rio de Janeiro city and his family's farm in the countryside. Sophia grew up in Noosa with a cat and cockatiels and is an avid bird lover. Fun Fact = Rodrigo and I are the poster people for Kuranda Birdworld in Cairns. Have a look at their website and you'll find our faces.
We take pride in our home, and those of others, and aim to leave your home spotless, as if we were never there. We are grateful that you have opened your home to us and for us that is a privilege. As for your pets - what joy! When we settle again, we would love pets of our own, hence, we feel so much enjoyment in taking care of yours. As for your garden, house plants & lawn, we will be dedicated carers (we only mow the lawn if the stay is longer than 14 nights). We are non-smokers.
As for updates - we would love to keep you updated daily via WhatsApp with pictures/videos of your pets, etc - just let us know how best to communicate with you whilst you are enjoying your well-deserved holiday.
To work remotely whilst we care for your lovely home, we require internet (+ wifi), 2 x separate spaces in the home to work from (could be a desk or a table), and a place to park our trusty Triton ute.

Sophia and Rodrigo
It was super easy to communicate with Sophia and Rodrigo. Our dog was super happy in all the photos and videos, the chickens were well looked after and the house left super clean.
We would recommend them a hundred percent and have already asked them to housesit for us again!
Thanks guys!
From the first contact, we knew we had found the perfect house and pet sitters for us, they put our minds at ease and we felt we could completely trust them to care for our animals like their own. They exceeded our expectations of the process, showered our animals with love and kept us updated daily. Our house was extremely clean and dog beautifully washed.
I highly recommend Sophia and Rodrigo as house/pet sitters, you will not be disappointed.
From the beginning Sophia and Rodrigo were great to deal with and we could tell right away that our animals were in for a treat. We received regular communication and pictures throughout the 1 month stay and there were no hassles. On top of that we had a clean and tidy house to come home to!
Would recommend these 2 to anyone looking for kind caring sitters.
Sophia and Rodrigo were such perfect house sitters for us! They were so friendly and warm when they came for a pre visit, and we were delighted to leave the kitties in their care. We got lots of updates and photos, which was extra sweet for my toddler who was really missing her pussycats. House was immaculate when we returned. We hope they keep travelling so we can use them again! Thank you both so much.
Sophia and Rodrigo are a genuine, caring and incredible couple. We were lucky to have connected with them through this platform. At the time they were house sitting for friends in regional NSW however, we could meet with them over a video call. We immediately felt that they are perfect people for our kitty. Communication leading up to the housesit was flawless.
It is always hard to leave kitty behind when we go away from home. Sophia and Rodrigo made sure there were multiple updates about ... MORE
With a house sitter looking after your pets, house and garden - you can really relax. Happy days.
