favoriteWhy we love house sitting

House sitting gives us the opportunity to indulge in our love of animals of all kinds, to explore new places & meet new people.

Hi home owners.

We are a happy & outgoing married couple who really love animals, having had pets all our lives until now. Our own menagerie over the years has included cats, dogs & horses. As we no longer have pets of our own, we have plenty of love & cuddles to lavish on yours and give them all the care they need while you’re away.

Hi home owners.

We are a happy & outgoing married couple who really love animals, having had pets all our lives until now. Our own menagerie over the years has included cats, dogs & horses. As we no longer have pets of our own, we have plenty of love & cuddles to lavish on yours and give them all the care they need while you’re away.

Originally from WA, we have called Sydney home for several years but are now back in the West for the next several months or longer. We have done house sits (through Aussie House Sitters & by word of mouth) on the Central Coast & Tweed Coast areas of NSW, as well as in Perth, where we have regularly visited friends & family.
We both work part time which provides us with some flexibility.

**We are experienced in administering insulin to cats and various other medications as required to dogs as well.
The house and pet sits we’ve done have included cats, dogs of all sizes, a few sheep & chickens. Homes have ranged from suburban houses with/without pools & gardens to care for, up to farm animals on acreage.

We are non smokers, house proud, clean & tidy and will treat your home with respect. We’re also experienced in looking after pools, having one in our own home & with being in the swimming industry. Of course, plants and gardens will be watered and all fur babies will be our main focus. Keeping you updated with photos would also be a priority.

We were lucky enough to have Judy & Den stay at our home and look after our 5 month old pup. He was so well cared for and our home was also, and was left spotless. Their communication was great, and were hopeful they will come and stay again!
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Judy and Den! This was the longest time we have spent away from Sushi and Soy and on an overseas trip in different time zones. Judy and Den looked after the boys as if they were their own dogs, going on long walks and spending quality time with them. They always kept in contact and provided regular descriptive updates along with photos and videos. The house upon return was cleaner than when we left! They left everything absolutely perfect ...

They left everything absolutely perfect and stayed with the dogs right up until we were about to arrive home. I would recommend Judy and Den to anyone looking for house sitting, for dogs big and small!

We had such a lovely meet and greet with Judy and Den before the sit — they were so warm and friendly, it felt like we’d known them for years. During the sit, they kept us updated with adorable photos, and we felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were being so well cared for. When we arrived home, the house was spotless and the dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly very content.

We would highly recommend Judy and Den to look after your house and pets. When we returned home from our recent holiday, both the house and yard (including the swimming pool) were spotless and they even left fresh milk in the fridge. Our furbabies were extremely taken with both Judy and Den as evidenced by the updates provided, including photos, whilst we were away. Our marine fish tank was also well maintained. We wouldn't hesitate to have Judy and Den house sit for us in the future
Judy and Den are such lovely, down to earth people who took excellent care of our home and dog, Holly, who clearly loved their company and beach adventures. Communication was easy, with a couple of updates sent through, which gave us peace of mind that everything was well at home. We would highly recommend them to take care of your pets and home. Thank you again, Judy and Den 🤗
Judy & Den are a beautiful couple. Easy going, friendly & nothing is to much trouble. Simba & Chester were very happy content cats while I was away. Communication was regular & provided wonderful photos of my little boys. It looked like my boys treated them as their new parents. Simba even slepted on their bed the next night waiting for them to return. Chester even sat with them alot quicker than normal . I'm hoping to book Judy & Den for my next sit later in the year.

Was so glad we had Judy And Den to look after our pets, home and garden. House was spotless, garden and pool beautifully maintained. But most importantly of all our high maintenance dog and snuggly cat were loved and cared for. Thank you so much for treating them so well. Couldn’t recommend more highly!
Thank you so much to Judy and Den for taking such good care of my home and especially Rani and Loki while I was away - they love their new toys! Judy and Den were great communicators and I felt completely comfortable leaving my place and my cats in their capable hands. Thank you again!
Thanks Debbie for your kind words. We loved pet sitting for you & your 2 great kitties. Rani’s antics were very engaging & Loki is a beautiful cat with a very sweet nature. We were kept busy retrieving Rani’s toys from under almost every item of furniture but she did love chasing them. Thanks for ... MoreThanks Debbie for your kind words.

We were kept busy retrieving Rani’s toys from under almost every item of furniture but she did love chasing them. Thanks for responding so quickly to our queries & for providing a clean & comfortable apartment for us to enjoy. We would be very happy to look after Rani & Loki any time that we visit Canberra. Please give them both a pat and a cuddle from us. Many thanks. Judy & Den

Judy & Den were great house sitters, great communicators and very clean. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They kept me updated with our pets, they cared for them and kept the house clean. Thanks again
We left the house, two dogs and a cat for Judy and Den to look after for five weeks. All were looked after as well or better than we do. And they were lovely people to deal with: attentive to the animals, genuine animal lovers, communicative, responsible, impossible to fault. We'll beg them to do it next time we go away.
Judy and Den were great house and pet sitters. We have a large dog and a giant breed dog which they took on long daily walks and handled them well. Our skittish cat was even a focus by them to try to win her over! They were in constant contact and shared photos. Our home was spotless when we got back too, which wasn’t the priority, like the pets are, but it certainly was appreciated after our holiday away. We would highly recommend Judy and Den and hope they are interested in staying again.
