We are both very clean individuals who appreciate a tidy living space, or in other words we are well house trained :)

We have successfully completed 4 house sits as a couple in Victoria since 2023 and look to continue our adventures thru 2025.

Hopefully we have the opportunity to take care of your home and your loved ones.

Thanks,
Shonnan and Meow

What a fantastic couple! Shonnan & Meow did a great job looking after our fur babies and home. They had a few curveballs thrown at them with builders next door and plumbing problems and they handled it like pros! Our dogs are demanding and challenging but Shonnan & Meow were patient and diligent and by the end our dogs wanted to leave with Shonnan & Meow. That just shows how well they looked after our dogs. We couldn't have asked for better house sitters and would definitely recommend you try ... MoreWhat a fantastic couple! Shonnan & Meow did a great job looking after our fur babies and home.

I was so fortunate to have Shonnan and Meow stay in my home and look after my precious dog. They loved and cared for her as their own and followed all instructions re her management. They kept in touch with me while away, sending regular photos and messages. And my house was cleaner than when I left it! I’d love to have them back anytime. They are a delightful couple and I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Shannon and Meow were wonderful sitters for our Daisy and home while we travelled and we could not have been happier! They sent us pics and updates while we were away and when we arrived home you could instantly see that Daisy was well looked after and our home was lovely, clean and tidy. To our delight we were also surprised with a box of chocolates which were very appreciated. We are looking forward to Shannon and Meow looking after Daisy and our home again in a few months time!!

Exceptional and Trustworthy Sitters! We highly recommend Shonnan and Meow as house and pet sitters. They were fantastic with our 2.5-year-old Swiss Shepherd, Oslo. Communication was excellent from the very beginning. We had a FaceTime call well in advance and met with in person the day before to ensure that Shonnan And Meow understood all of Oslo's needs. Shonnan's regular updates and photos during the sit were incredibly reassuring. We returned home to a very happy and relaxed dog, ... MoreExceptional and Trustworthy Sitters!

Shannon and Meow are fantastic house and pet sitters. They were very responsive and met the needs of our home and beloved dogs. I would highly recommend their services if you are fortunate to get the opportunity that they are available. Thank you very much.
Thank you Shonnan and Meow for a perfect housesit. It was so lovely to come home to two happy healthy dogs. The house was a pleasure to walk into, and what a surprise to have flowers, and fresh bread and milk left for us. We appreciated your timely communication and special photos and videos of our dogs. It was so nice to have such a positive experience.
Shonnon and Meow were fabulous. Our cats were relaxed and happy with them (they left them murder as gifts and our nervous cat became so comfortable that he spooned them in bed). The chickens were well looked after and our home beautifully clean and plants thriving. Thank you so much Shonnon and Meow! I highly recommend them.
Shonnan and Meow looked after Tali and my home for 2.5 weeks. On meeting them it was clear they were both pet lovers and Tali was going to be in good hands. Communication was great throughout, with regular updates. I had a happy dog when I returned and the house looked amazing. Couldn’t have asked for more. These guys are great. Highly recommend!
We feel like we struck gold with Shonnan and Meow! I was anxious about leaving our rambunctious puppy, and our timid older dog, but I needn’t have worried – they were in the best possible hands! Shonnan and Meow were great to communicate with, kept us up-to-date, and left our house spotless and beautiful with flowers. They thoughtfully left us with some coffee and food, so we had plenty of supplies for our first days at home after a month away. They were patient with our puppy, and thanks ...

They were patient with our puppy, and thanks to their calm and gentle manner our timid 11-year-old relaxed with them quickly. The dogs were very sorry to see them go! We would love to have them house sit for us again and highly recommend them. Thank you so much, Shonnan and Meow, for the outstanding care you gave our dogs and our house!

Shonnan and his partner Meow were fantastic with our dog while we were travelling for a month. Great communication, house was spotless when we got back and they managed a little crisis well for us when we were away. They were very loving with our little Luna and kept us up to date regularly. We were a little nervous having never used a house sitter before but they totally eased our nerves. I would have them back in a heartbeat!
thanks :P was a pleasure
Shonnan and Meow were a wonderful House and Dog sitter couple.We came home after 97 days away to a very clean house and a very well cared for dog.We would certainly recommend Shonnan and Meow for any future house sitting . Thank you again..Chris and Janet
Shonnan and his partner took great care of our house, garden and 2 dogs. When we came home the house was shiny and smelled fresh. The grass was mowed and we enjoyed their leftover food :-). The dogs liked them and seemed to be very satisfied. Overall a great experience.

Shonnan is fantastic! Totally easy to get along with, comminicative, responsible - all the stuff you look for in a great housesitter, in spades. It was so great while we were away to know the house was being looked after and our dogs were being completely spoiled (they were VERY sad when Shonnan left and they took about a week to stop wandering around the house searching for him!). We highly recommend - and hope stars align in the future so he can visit again.

Highly recommended! Had never used a house sitter before and was very nervous about it. Didn't need to be. Shonnan looked after my house beautifully and my cats still go into his room looking for him! I think they secretly preferred him to me!! Very happy with the whole experience and have already rebooked him for Sept.
