29, Policy Advisor at VIC Parliament

30, Data analyst

Professional couple from New Zealand & the UK. Lifelong animal lovers who are kind, reliable and a little nerdy. We’ll care for your pets and home as if they were our own.

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

We’re the kind of people who will remember your dog’s favourite walking route, your cat’s quirky routine, and water your plants exactly as instructed. We enjoy the quieter side of travelling and love spending our evenings with a book, a board game, or curled up on the couch with four legged friends

Hi! We’re Max (30) and Acacia (29), a professional couple from the UK and New Zealand, based in Melbourne.

Acacia works as a Senior Policy Advisor and Max is an AI Analyst and Researcher. We’re both responsible, reliable, and genuinely love caring for animals.

We both grew up with pets, and with Max’s parents both being veterinarians, we’ve collectively cared for just about every animal imaginable—dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, sheep, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens and more!

Acacia works as a Senior Policy Advisor and Max is an AI Analyst and Researcher. We’re both responsible, reliable, and genuinely love caring for animals.

We both grew up with pets, and with Max’s parents both being veterinarians, we’ve collectively cared for just about every animal imaginable—dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, sheep, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens and more!

Outside of work, Acacia loves the gym, Pilates, reading and spending time outdoors, while Max enjoys gaming, music, films and getting lost in a good book. We’re easy-going, respectful and love a quiet night in with furry company.

We’ve lived in shared homes for the past 12 years, so we understand how important it is to respect someone else’s space. Acacia is also a bit of a clean freak, so you can rest assured your home will be left exactly as you found it (or even a little tidier!). We’ll care for your pets and your home as if they were our own.
