We are very happy with how Roel and his family looked after our home and pets. We returned to find everything beautifully cleaned and tidy, animals were happy, and everything had been well looked after. Their communication was excellent all the way through, and we would be more than happy to have them come and sit for us again. Highly recommended!
Roel and family looked after our dogs & home for two weeks. We returned to a very tidy and clean home and two very happy dogs. I would not hesitate to use Roel and family again, or recommend them to others looking for a house-sitter.
We had a lovely house sitting experience with Isabella and her children whilst Raol was renovating their own home. Isabella was great to communicate with in the lead-up to the house sit, during the house sit and after. We hope that her children enjoyed their stay at our house. We loved seeing the Lego masterpieces they had created. Our house was left tidy and clean. You could hardly tell they had been here and all of our animals were very well looked after. Thank you so much Isabella, we would ... MoreWe had a lovely house sitting experience with Isabella and her children whilst Raol was renovating their own home.

Isabella and her children took the best care of my kitten and dog while we were away. My animals were content on my arrival home and my house lovely and tidy upon my return. Communication was excellent, I Would not hesitate to have Isabella house/pet sit in the future :)
Fabulous house sitters, left the home tidy, great communication, animals were happy. Thanks so much for house sitting for us!!
Roel, Isabella and her family were wonderful sitters. Our precious pups were so calm and happy to have us home, but they do miss their new best friends. They took great care of our home. We arrived to it spotlessly clean and everything in order. Highly recommend this family and would have them sit again anytime.
Isabella and children looked after our 2 whippets and 2 frogs for just over 2 weeks. The animals were clearly very well looked after and loved. The house was immaculate on my return home, it was spotless. So nice to come home to a shining home. I have many indoor plants and a garden that is unestablished and needed some watering. All garden and plants were in top condition, I was thrilled. I highly recommend Isabella and her children to housesit and would happily provide a more detailed ...

Isabella and her beautiful family spent a week looking after our house and animals while we went away. We absolutely loved having them at our place, our animals were all very loved by them all and the house was cleaner than when we left it. We would have them stay again anytime. Thank you so much for making our first experience one of the best.

This is the second time we had Roel's family house sit for us. Our cats are always well looked after and the house clean and tidy when we arrived home. Communication is always easy. Highly recommend.
I was very fortunate to have Roel look after my home and my cat Sonic, who was immediately comfortable with Roel. I received regular updates and photos. My home was very well cared for. Recent hand surgery had prevented me from some home duties and Roel completed tasks I had neglected. It was great to come home to a clean home and a very contented pet. I would recommend Roel to anyone in need of a very kind and competent sitter. I hope he is available for my future house-sitting needs.

We had Roel's wife (Isabella) and 5 kids come stay for three weeks while we were overseas. They took great care of our house and two cats. Roel and Isabella's communication was great, they kept us up to date with how our cats were going and if they had any queries. The house was immaculately clean and tidy when we arrived home. We found Roel and Isabella to be trustworthy and caring house sitters who we'd recommend to anyone who is looking.
We were most fortunate to have met the wonderful Roel and have him perform our house/pet sit. Our precious little Dachshunds were extremely well cared for and he left our home immaculately clean and tidy. Roel always kept us up to date on how things were going while we were away, sending photos of Lucy and Leo - two very happy fur babies. We think Roel is an amazing, thoughtful, trustworthy true gentleman and we highly recommend him for any future sits he chooses to undertake.
Roel came to house sit for us for 4 nights. It was great not having to worry about the house or our cat. We had regular phone contact and Roel sent me pics of our happy cat Harry. The house was left clean and tidy. Thank you Roel.
From our very first communication, Roel was great and we felt very comfortable. We met Roel, Isabella and their 5 children before we left, as being first timers, we wanted to make sure we had covered what they needed to know about our 2 alpacas, 2 dogs, 20+ chickens, 4 ducks and 2 birds. While we were away, communication continued to be great and we felt very at ease. On our return, our home was clean and tidy (with a bunch of lovely flowers left) and it was fabulous to walk into after a long ...

Very importantly, our many animals were well cared for while we were away. We would have Roel and his lovely family back anytime to house sit and would recommend him without hesitation to others.

Roel was communicative, friendly, and took good care of our dog Beckham. As we requested, he watered our new turf, and the result looks great! He took good care of our home, and left everything tidy on departure. He also provided a welcome home meal for our family. We can highly recommend him for any sit.
Roel came by himself. He communicated well. Took great care of our house and pets. Our house was left clean and tidy upon completion. I would highly recommend him in future house sits
Roel and his family of 7 - (Wife and 5 children) house sat for us for 10 nights over the Christmas break. The house was clean and tidy when we arrived home, our cat and fish were well cared for and garden pot plants maintained. Happy to recommend Roel and his family for house sits.
Roel and his 2 daughters looked after our house and garden and cat for 5 days. They looked after everything very well and left the house extremely clean and tidy. We also found a meal in the fridge and other goodies - it was lovely not having to worry about finding a meal when we got home. He even tried to fix a faulty door. I would certainly recommend him as a reliable and trustworthy house sitter and have already given his name to one of my friends.
Roel did a great job with our house sit. The house was clean when we arrived home and the pets were happy and had been well cared for. Roel was great with communication while we were away and he didn't have any problems with the house, electronics or pets which is nice especially as we were on a cruise and out of contact for a lot of the time.

Roel is an honest, reliable and trustworthy man. Communication was very easy and prompt. He made friends with our shy and anxious aussie bulldog which is no easy task. He took good care of our home, dog, chickens, fish and plants. Felt absolutely safe with him minding our home and he kept in touch making sure we are at peace while away. Very grateful for his input and suggestions, too.
