Kym and Gerard looked after our property for 2 weeks in early March ‘26. They did a great job managing a totally solar and rain water house with chooks, big veggie garden, pesky possums and mice……it’s that time of year! Everything was left clean and tidy, and we are happy to welcome these resilient folks back. Scott
Kym and Gerard did a great job looking after our horses and two dogs and our home. All animal were obviously really well cared for and associated jobs in relationship to the dogs ie checking dog run keeping grass cut cleaning the horse paddocks were also well done. The dogs were very settled and happy. Kym's communication and photos while were away were great and very reassuring as it is a big property and they clearly managed extremely well. House was very clean and in excellent order. I ... MoreKym and Gerard did a great job looking after our horses and two dogs and our home.

It was a pleasure meeting Kym and Gerard and having them look after our home and the associates menagerie. They left our home In pristine condition and our animals were well looked after. Our dog, Milo, particularly benefited from their loving attention. Communication with Kym was super easy, and she provided a number of photos of Milo’s outings with her and Gerard during their time in Ballarat. We would be so happy to have them do a return visit.
Kym and Gerard were awesome house sitters. They helped us out on short notice and looked after Spot and the house for the weekend. They were super friendly and easy to deal with, and Spot was clearly spoilt rotten, I think he had a better holiday than we did! Kym sent us little updates and photos of their adventures while we were away, which was lovely. The house was spotless when we got back, and it was obvious they treated it with care.

Kym and Gerard were amazing. We were so anxious about leaving out 15 year old Border Collie while we went overseas but as soon as we met them, we felt so much better and were able to relax and have a great trip away. Our home and dog were so well cared for, I would recommend Kym and Gerard to anyone.
Kym & Gerard are amazing! Snoopy still miss them. It looks like he had too much fun with them. The house was sparkly clean and they took care of everything as their own. We would definitely recommend them and we hope to see them again when they are back in WA. Cheers,
Kym & Gerard were excellent in every aspect. Out dog loved them and was well looked after. Our garden was maintained beautifully and our home was spotlessly clean on our return. We would love to have them here again!
Kym and Gerard were wonderful sitters. Our dog Possum loved being with them and they took amazing care of her - she loved the daily walks and all the trips out. We got weekly photos showing Possum enjoying her time with them. They really cared for her like she was their own pet. The house and garden were well maintained and was spotlessly clean and tidy on our return. They even left us a jug of milk so we could make a cup of tea or coffee.

Lovely people Kym and Gerard. They looked after my house and cat for 9 days to 14th April. Were very good kept me informed and my place was left spotless would highly recommend them.
Kym and Gerard were amazing, they looked after our pets and house so well. We were worried as our dogs are quite needy but when we got home and the pets were super happy and chilled and the house was immaculate and they even mowed the lawn. We got regular updates and could see from the photos how well cared for the dogs were as one of our dogs is super shy and was cuddling up with Kym. We really hope that Kym and Gerard will come back again one day - very highly recommended!
We can't thank Kym and Gerard enough for the care and attention they gave the house and our dog Eddie. We definitely recommend them and hope they will come back another time.
Kym and Gerard looked after our home, Garden, chooks, cat and rather difficult border collie. They were absolutely wonderful! Very patient with our dog who can be a bit shy and isn't great with other dogs. They walked him daily, sent pictures and he was very calm and happy when we returned, they had obviously been very good with him. The garden was in better shape than when I left it and our home was immaculate when we returned home. I can't thank them enough for the wonderful job they did! We ...

My first time using house sitters for my 2 very needy sausage dogs, and I couldn't have been happier! Kym and Gerard were amazing, fantastic communication and I loved getting photos of my babies while I was away. Returned home to a beautiful clean house, mowed lawns which was a treat and two very happy dogs (who I think are missing Kym and Gerard now). Highly recommend, thanks again so much
This was my first time using house sitters so I was a bit nervous, however upon meeting Kym a week earlier I was able to relax. Such a warm and down to earth lady. Kym & Gerard looked after our two very spoilt dogs and they were happy doggos upon our return. The house was immaculate and so nice to have the lawns cut even though we didn't ask them to. An extra added bonus was the milk left for my morning coffee as we were too tired to do a shop the day we flew home. Thank you so much Kym & ...

Kym and Gerard were amazing house sitters. They gave Bowie the attention and care she needed. As a 10 month old puppy this was quite considerable and included long beach walks and plenty of play. The house was immaculate on my return with some small repairs done as well. Kym and Gerard were easy to communicate with and personable in all our arrangements. I would highly recommend them as House /Dog sitters. Thanks for a great job.
Absolutely would recommend Kym and Gerard as house sitters. Our dog was happy, walked, and loved while we went for quick getaway. Kym and Gerard are great communicators with a calm and confident vibe. We honestly felt like we left our house and dog in great hands while we went away. A definite 5 stars all around!
Kym and Gerard were great house-sitters. Our two dogs were well cared for and the house was left spotless. We are grateful and happy to add our recommendation to the other very positive reviews they have received.
Kym and her partner were amazing..came home to happy pets and beautifully clean house. Looked after Chase like he was their own ..highly recommend
Kym & Gerard were absolutely amazing. Can't recommend them highly enough. Took great care of our cat & dog & when we came home, after a week away, our house was spotless. We would definitely use them again.
Sitters were excellent, walking my dog 2-3 x ea day. Sent a photo the first day of my happy dog. Cat obviously was well fed! House was clean and tidy. Lawns mowed, tho not expected. Would highly recommend.
This was our first time using house sitters. Kym and Gerard were just great. They cared for our home as if it were their own. We came home to a perfectly clean and tidy house, lawns mowed, and our pets (2 dogs and a cat) were cared for so well, I don't think they even missed us. I appreciated the updates of our pets while we were away. I couldn't recommend Kym and Gerard highly enough. I would definitely have them back to house sit for us anytime.
Kym listened astutely to my hand over and looked after Bella extremely well. Bella got to have lots of fun adventures with them both, and swims which she loves! The best part of it all was we felt that Bella was having a fabulous holiday too - and the garden was looked after much better than how we had left it! We would love them to Bella-sit anytime!
Kym and Gerard were great house and dog sitters. They loved my fur girl like she was their own. She was healthy and content when I arrived back. I especially appreciated Kym and Gerard giving Bella medication and nursing her back to full health during their stay. The house and yard were clean and tidy when I arrived back. If Kym and Gerard house or pet sit for you, you will be very pleased.

Kym and Gerard were perfect house guests. My place was sparkling clean & plants thriving when I returned which was so lovely after a long drive home. Thank you! They didn't need to pet sit in the end (foster dog was rehomed), but I have absolutely no hesitation trusting them with my pets. Thanks again!!
Kym and Gerard were great house sitters. Honest, trustworthy and reliable, They were especially good to our pets including our dog Spot who I think now misses them both, The gardens and house were looked after well and a pleasure to come back to after our holiday. I would highly recommend them and would love to have them as house sitters again.
Kym and Gerard were wonderful house sitters. I felt very comfortable leaving our home and pets in their care. Kym sent photos of Rosie and Gordon regularly so we could see that they were well cared for and happy and when we returned home the house was immaculate. We would not hesitate in having them stay again.
Due to timing circumstances we have never met Kym and Gerard however, we were delighted to have them look after our home. The property and animals were cared for and it was great to arrive home to the place as we left it. The communication was excellent and the whole experience gave us some comfort to know Kym and Gerard were doing a fine job. We would definitely seek the availability of Kym and Gerard the next time we take a break. Given our positive experience we would highly recommend Kym ...
