Jay and Yumiko were the dream housesitters. They both love animals, are very communicative and looked after our home as if it were their own. We had a family emergency whilst away and it was such a relief knowing they were there taking care of everything back home. Jay updated us regularly even sending cute photos and videos of our happy animals. We can honestly say, we have made a friend in these wonderful people. Highly recommend and hope they are able to housesit again in the future.
Jay and Yumiko did a great job of taking care of our house and dog in spite of meeting some unexpected , unfortunate difficulties which they had to overcome. We would recommend to anyone looking for prospective housesitters.
We are thankful to have had Jay and Yumiko on our recent house sit. My furry mate Bundy was well loved and cared for by them, and we totally recommend them, and would welcome them back.
Jay and Yumiko did a great job of looking after my house and cats. They sent regular photos and left the place very clean and tidy. Thanks again and hope you can do another sit in the future!
Jay and I spoke at length on the phone once sit had been confirmed and we also communicated by email This was very reassuring. Jay is very experienced and did a fantastic job looking after Ellie & Marshall. He sent me photo updates each day and called me as he was concerned when he noticed an unusual skin condition on Marshall. My home was also well looked after and left clean & tidy. Highly recommend Jay
Jay looked after my little pooch well and was in regular communication with me throughout the sit. He sent daily updates, asked questions and took beautiful photos of my pooch. He’s welcome back anytime.
Thank you Kelly for welcoming me into your home. Namaste was so sweet I could just take her home with me! No worries I won't do that of course, maybe another house sit though. Cheers Jay
Thank you Jay for taking the time to sit our pups Juke and Jazz. Your communication was always on point and nothing was to hard for you. The pups were very well looked after by yourself. Jazz has been missing all the adventures you had together. Thank you for spending extra time with her out in your car, keeping her entertained. She loves the car! The house was looked after as if it was Jays own house. We would welcome Jay back anytime to sit again. Thanks again Jay, Take care. Aaron, Bron and ...

Thanks so much Bronwyn. I absolutely adored my time with Jazz and Juke. I loved our little adventures to Old Olinda Golf Course :) Thank you for welcoming me
I am pleased to say that Jay was fantastic at looking after all my pets! He went above, and beyond updating me with wonderful photographs. I would without a doubt highly recommend Jay to house sit! He will set your mind at ease and be great with your pets and respect your home. The animals seem so calm when I returned home from my five day trip away and the house was the way l left it. Thank you Jay for everything. I’ll be in touch again soon.
Thanks so much Candice! Your place is so nice and I enjoyed spending time with Kiki and Buddy. It was great chatting with you and we'll be in touch. Jay
Jay was a delight to communicate with. He kept the house in immaculate condition and cared for Miss Daisy with lots of love and passion. My brother Pete is away alot with work and would not hestitate to have Jay care for Miss Daisy again and strongly recommends him for any future house sits
I would 100% recommend Jay. He took great care of our house and pets. His communication was fantastic, with updates everyday. Our dogs absolutely loved him aswell :)
Thank you so much for the kind review Alex :) I appreciate all the little details and instructions you provided, and Kobi and Barney are such great dogs. You've done a fantastic job taking care and training them.
Recommended without hesitation. If I need to be formal here, Jay was timely and efficient is his communication with me. He was easy to approach, given instruction and was not fazed in anyway in how I liked my house set up and dogs looked after. I was quietly impressed as he was more prepared than I was. Speaking informally, my two dogs took to him very quickly. He took them for a few walks, played and then chilled with them. In my opinion an animal like a dog has a good gut instinct and they ...

In my opinion an animal like a dog has a good gut instinct and they trusted Jay immediately. So I knew the house and they were going to be looked after. The photos he sent made me chuckle as again they showed how happy my puppas were. He also gave my deck a bit of a tidy as the dogs had decided to show him their couch chewing skills. Thanks Jay, really appreciated.

Jay was fantastic. He was only here for a weekend but made the effort to meet me in person prior and get all the house and animal details first hand. Jay sent me photos and updates each morning and left the house spectacularly clean. I would thoroughly recommend Jay as a trustworthy and caring home and animal sitter and will definitely use him again. Thanks Jay
Thank you so much Kerin, honestly it was a short stay but I absolutely loved the pups and your property. Thank you for having me at your home :)
Everything was 5 star. Jay went beyond our expectations as a house/dog sitter. Daily photos and messages. Our dogs obviously adored him. The house was spotless on our return. Very happy to recommend Jay as a house and dog sitter.
Awww thanks Elizabeth. It was absolutely my pleasure! Thank you for being so welcoming, you have such a wonderful home and the cutest pups. I'm happy to comeback anytime. Jay

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
