We are a friendly, honest, reliable and trustworthy retired couple.
We started our adventures in February 2022 and we have completed many House/pet sits since then. Please see our references on this Site, and we are also registered on Trusted House Sitters.
In this time, we never cancelled on any of our confirmed Sits and even though we were travelling extensively sometimes, we always made it to the destination on time for the Owners to leave on their holidays.

We started our adventures in February 2022 and we have completed many House/pet sits since then. Please see our references on this Site, and we are also registered on Trusted House Sitters.
In this time, we never cancelled on any of our confirmed Sits and even though we were travelling extensively sometimes, we always made it to the destination on time for the Owners to leave on their holidays.
We did have a couple of Sits cancel on us, but that was due to illness or their travel plans changing.
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and loved the different experiences. From Point Lonsdale and Wonthaggi (Victoria) in June and then Bathurst in July, we dipped our toes into all different temperatures and enjoyed rugging up for the winter (as we usually only have one old jumper up in Nth Qld, that we wear a week per year lol!! )
We only have one stipulation, and that is not to be in the same bed as your pets, of course we are happy for them to sleep wherever they are use to, so if that is your bed, then we're happy to sleep elsewhere. I think it’s an age thing lol !! the older we get the more room we seem to need when sleeping. So please advise us where we are going to be sleeping.
We can promise, that when you return to your home, your treasured pets will be happy and well cared for, and your home will also be well cared for and clean & tidy.
We only travel by car, so there is no Caravan or Motor Home, and we have no Pets of our own (we will change that once our travels come to an end) We also appreciate knowing as much as possible about your pets, such as medications, their sleeping habits, how they behave on their walks/leads (we’ve had experiences where some dogs are very difficult to walk) and some Pets with quirky habits we were not made aware of.
We are also both Non Smokers and fully Vaccinated.
Please have photos available and if you have any questions, we will only be too happy to answer.
Cheers Annie and David

Annie & David were terrific to deal with from the first communication. Everything was left in perfect condition and all the animals were well looked after. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use again...!
Very thankful to David and Annie for looking after our house with its resident fuzzy friends over what was a rather stormy weekend. They were both very easy to get on with and everything went smoothly. We returned to the house just as we left it - they had even washed and reset the bed - and the cats were obviously well cared for. I highly recommend them and would happily have them back.
David and Annie were great, lovely couple and left the house super clean and the plants were taken care of very well. Dogs looked very happy when we came home. Communication was easy, would have loved to hear a bit more how the dogs were going but it was easy to communicate with them and would highly recommend David and Annie, thnx for looking after our house and dogs!
Annie and David were amazing and looked after my dog and my house wonderfully while I was away. They were easy to communicate with and we met in person a few times before the sit. The house was left clean and tidy and they had even done some gardening for me which was greatly appreciated. I would love to have Annie and David back again in the future. Highly recommend these amazing people.
David and Annie are magnificent! Their communication was excellent, the house was immaculate and the pets were happy couldn't ask for more!
Anne & David we simply wonderful. Our pets and house have never been so well looked after. They were beautiful people and even though we didn’t cross over with them, they feel like friends. Xx Arlo, The Chookies and Puss!
It was a delight coming home to my home and garden everything was so well looked after. A big thank-you to David and Annie for looking after my home so we’ll.
Thank you Susan. A privilege to look after your lovely home. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves stay in Echuca.
We were absolutely delighted with Annie and David. They came to meet us on the way to a sit prior to ours. They are lovely people and had the house, garden and our cat as a priority. Everything was looked after so well. Sam the cat was very happy and content. Communication was brilliant. More than happy to recommend our new friends Annie & David.
David and Annie recently looked after my home whilst I went on a much needed overseas trip and were fantastic. Leaving my babies with them was comforting to know that they were getting their daily walks in , treats and love and attention. David even mowed my small yard and kept my garden/ plants maintained. My home was left immaculate, towels etc all washed and clean. Good communication and there were no issues at all and I had left a thorough handover along with the meet and greet. Thanks ...

Thanks David and Annie for looking after my home and my 2 fur babies and respecting my home as you would your own. It was great to come home to see my babies so well looked after and my home immaculate. I would definitely recommend David and Annie to anybody without hesitation. Thanks so much David and Annie

Annie and David are just fabulous! They communicated really well, and our house was in better condition than when we left I'm sure! But most importantly our fur babies seemed really content, happy, and well looked after when we returned from our 5 week trip. I would absolutely have Annie and David sit for us again any time.
Absolutely fantastic experience with Annie and David, highly recommend!! The house was left looking cleaner than we've ever managed to get it! Lady, our border Collie, was calm and happy too. Thank you!!!!
We definitely recommend David and Annie for house/petsitter. We had easy communication with them and they cared for the dogs and the house really well. Everything was spotless on return and David cared for anything in the garden requiring watering. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending them. Thanks David and Annie!
David & Annie were wonderful house sitters who looked after our two dogs and one cat along with our home. We returned from our holiday to find our home sparkling clean with everything in its place! You would hardly know they had actually been there it was that well looked after. In fact they went beyond our expectations by even washing their towels and tea towels for us! Thank you both for looking after our animals and our home so well. Enjoy your travels!
David and Annie are outstanding house sitters. I could not recommend them more. They arrived the day prior (at our request) as we live on acreage. We instantly felt comfortable entrusting them with our dearly loved 3 labradors and our home. Even our multiple garden pots felt David and Annie's excellent care. No small feat during the hot days. Our home was spotless upon our return. The rubbish bins were even emptied. (I think you cleaned the windows, LOL) Thankyou again ... MoreDavid and Annie are outstanding house sitters.

David & Annie travelled 5 hours to our farm with 3 days notice - so amazing to leave our 300 acre property and beloved little dog with 2 special people. Rainfall was torrential with flooding and David went out of his way to ensure everything was safe and secure around the property. House was spotless when we returned with all the linen washed and beds remade thanks Annie.

Highly recommend David & Annie - so pleased with everything and will definitely contact them again for our next trip. Thanks guys

Annie and David were fantastic. My home and garden were left in immaculate condition and Poppi was very well cared for. Poppi is normally a very nervous cat and takes a while to warm up to people (if she does at all!). So to say I was surprised when she was calmly sitting on the arm of the couch letting David pat her was an understatement!! David and Annie lived in my home while I was away for 3 weeks and the house and garden were left perfect , if not better than I had left it. Highly ... MoreAnnie and David were fantastic.

Annie was fantastic. Rosie was so calm and happy and we are very grateful to have been able to leave her in such caring hands. The house and garden were immaculate. Thanks again Annie
Annie and David were great. In constant contact about plans, dates, Pre sit face to face visit to meet us and our furbabies, which helped our nerves as first timers. Lots of communication, updates, and happy pet photos while we were away. House looked neater when we got back then when we left! Would certainly recommend Annie and Dave. 5 stars!
Thank you Annie and David for taking great care of our home and animals. Our home and garden was left in immaculate condition and the animals were very well cared for. I can highly recommend Annie and David if you are considering a holiday. David and Annie lived in our home while we travelled for 3 weeks. Everything was left just perfect , if not better than I had left it. They are a big yes from me. I'm only too happy for a call if you are considering booking this lovely couple. Thank ...
