EvenStephen

early 70's, tutor and retired teacher

80, Retired teacher

Retired professional couple very keen on house sitting in the upcoming NSW summer school holidays.

We have completed many house sits, where we have looked after cats, chickens, rabbits, fish, worms and dogs. We have also had many Aussie House Sitters in our home over the past seventeen years and have seen what great experiences they have had.

Stephen and I are very well travelled (both within Australia and overseas), are very healthy and outgoing, keen to meet new people and to explore new regions. We are non smokers and would expect to care for your home, pets and garden to the same high standard that we expected of our sitters.

We are happy to keep in contact with home owners by phone and/or email while you are away. Very flexible as to the type of home/property and location. We may also be able to arrive the day before you leave, to meet the home owners and to receive specific instructions. References available on request and of course character checks were a requirement of our professional employment.

Preferred Locations: NSW country, Southern NSW, Northern Vic, Melbourne.
Availability: 2023/24 NSW summer school holidays.

VIVIENNE (East Maitland NSW, Dec 2023 - 2 weeks 2 nights)
Yvonne and Stephen are a warm and friendly couple. Lily the cat warmed to them straight away. We came home to a relaxed and healthy cat and clean and tidy home. Yvonne sent us some pictures of Lily to ensure that we felt secure that Lily was happy. I can recommend them to you.
 
SHEELAH (North Wollongong NSW, Jun 2023 - 2 weeks 3 nights)
Thank you Sheelah, for your very nice review. We enjoyed our time at your lovely home and with our new friend Lily. Best wishes Yvonne and Stephen
Yvonne and Stephen were excellent house sitters. The house was in a clean and tidy state when I returned and the calm demeanor of my cat confirmed that she had enjoyed being looked after by them.
 
KEITH (Bowral NSW, Apr 2023 - 1 week)
Thank you Keith for your lovely review. It was a pleasure to look after your home and very calm pussy cat.
Yvonne and Stephen were everything we could have wished for and more. Our furbabies Bean and Mittens were looked after like princes and gave us a five star review on our return. As Mittens is very shy, it was great to see him out and about on the second day with his minders. Our home was looked after as if it was their own. Yvonne regularly messaged us with photos of the cats as well as little bits and pieces of news from home. I would thoroughly recommend Yvonne and Stephen to anyone seeking ... MORE
 
CHERYL (Port Macquarie NSW, Dec 2022 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Thank you so much, Cheryl. Our time with Bean and Mittens was very interesting.
Yvonne and Steven successfully stayed at our home and totally bonded with our cat who can be standoff at times. They kept us well informed both prior to and during the sit on how it all was going. They were a fantastic friendly couple with great communication.
 
GARRY (Kyneton VIC, Jul 2022 - 1 week 4 days)
Many thanks Garry and Kate. We very much enjoyed our house sit and h0pe to meet up with you both again in the future. Best wishes. Yvonne and Stephen
We had Yvonne and Stephen stay at our place for two weeks while on holiday. They were not only great people but did everything we asked of them and were very open with communication and any issues that arose. We would be happy to recommend them for house sitting
 
JONATHAN (Clunes VIC, Jan 2022 - 10 days)
Thank you Jonathan. Stephen and I enjoyed our house sit in historic Clunes. Jonathan left clear instructions regarding house and garden care and was always available by phone before and during the house sit.
Yvonne and Stephen actually sat for us for 5 nights over Easter 2022 (I think the site says Dec '21 as we were originally in contact for that sit). They were great. I would absolutely have them sit for Reggie again. Reg is wary of strangers at first but very quickly Stephen & Yvonne won him over. I was very confident that he was getting all the head rubs and care he needed. They are very considerate house sitters and the place was spotless on our return. Great! Lovely couple.
 
HELEN (Sydenham NSW, Dec 2021 - 5 nights)
Yvonne and Stephen did a wonderful job taking care of Monty! From the get go they were great communicators and really lovely to deal with, all throughout the house sit they kept us up to date with how Monty was doing. When we came home the apartment was spotless and we could tell Monty had been looked after. Would definitely recommend!
 
CHARLOTTE (Camperdown NSW, Dec 2021 - 1 week 6 days)
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Charlotte.
Our recent house sitters Yvonne & Stephen did a fantastic job of looking after our home and pets. We would have no hesitation in recommending their services.
 
CLAIRE (Howlong NSW, Jun 2021 - 2 weeks)
Thank you Claire and Shane for offering your beautiful home for our recent house sit. We had a really enjoyable time there. Comprehensive written instructions were left and your little dog "Gracie" kept us busy with her enthusiastic chase and fetch antics.
Yvonne & Stephen were warm & wonderful. Very patiently took care of our "nervous Cavoodle" and our large garden. Kept in touch so we could relax on our holiday. Definitely recommend:)
 
KERRYN (Shepparton East VIC, Jan 2020 - 3 weeks)
Thank you Kerryn and Mike. We really enjoyed house sitting for you and for Rocco. We became "besties" after the initial "stand off" period. Your garden, pool and house were very easy to manage. Thank you.
We were so happy to hear from Yvonne and Stephen who responded soon after posting our housesitting ad. As experienced house sitters, Yvonne and Stephen were able to make sure they had all the information they needed to make is a trouble free housesit for both parties. It was great to meet them prior to leaving for our holiday to show them around the house and give them a chance to meet our cats. We returned from our holiday with two very happy cats and a beautifully clean and cared for house. ... MORE
 
CHERIE (Terranora NSW NSW, Oct 2019 - 6 days)
Thank you so much, Cherie and Paul. It was a pleasure to meet you and to look after your lovely home and and your very laid back cats. Everything was well organised and ran very smoothly.
No rating Yvonne and Stephen were the perfect house sitters. They communicated before, during and after the house-sit. My cat was happy and they left ice-cream in the fridge. (Thanks for that). My place was left tidy and the garden was green. Happy to endorse.
PETA (Lismore NSW, Sep 2017 - 1 week)
No rating Linda and I are very happy to recommend Yvonne and Stephen for cat- and housesitting. The cats were a picture of health when we returned from our holiday and the house was left spotless. Stephen watered the pot plants and garden thoroughly for us during a spell of warm weather. Definitely five star sitters!
