favoriteWhy we love house sitting

House sitting lets us experience new places while doing something we love—caring for animals. We enjoy the company of pets and want to make sure they feel safe and happy while their owners are away.

Hey! We’re Harriet and Taryn, a friendly couple from the UK who love animals.

We're currently based in the Northern Rivers and looking for opportunities to care for pets and homes along the way.

We've looked after lots of pets before and we know how important it is to keep them happy, safe and comfortable. We have done many house sits in Australia, so can happily provide references.

Looking forwad to connecting!

Harriet & Taryn are extremely beautiful people. They went well above my expectations as a first time aussiehousesitters user. They cared for my two dogs so well, including taking them on outings, walking & lots of cuddles. Sadly the older dog was unwell, but Harriet was onto something was not right & ensured Shakti was cared for by the vet. They communicated with me at all times. I am sure Shakti & Dali will miss them as will I. I highly recommend Harriet & Taryn. ❤️
As first timers using a house sitter we were a bit nervous about having people in our house but after speaking with Harriett and Taryn we were completely at ease. There aren't enough words to convey how amazing they were! Great at communicating, Harriett and Taryn arrived the afternoon before we left and gave us frequent updates about our precious fluffies whenever we wanted.

MoreAs first timers using a house sitter we were a bit nervous about having people in our house but after speaking with Harriett and Taryn we were completely at ease. There aren't enough words to convey how amazing they were! Great at communicating, Harriett and Taryn arrived the afternoon before we left and gave us frequent updates about our precious fluffies whenever we wanted. The house was left spotless when we arrived home (probably cleaner than we left it). Our pets who have tremendous 'stranger danger' warmed up to them immediately. We would recommend Harriett and Taryn to anyone looking for a clean, reliable couple to watch their house and pets. It's a pity we can only rate them out of 5! We will definitely be checking to see if they're available for any future house sits we may need.

Taryn and Harriet were both wonderful sitters, they were so helpful and excellent with our animals. They left the house exceptionally tidy and would highly recommend them to any looking for confident and reliable sitters. Communication was fantastic, we will be sure to look them up again if we need another sitter :)
Harriet and Taryn were wonderful sitters for our two dogs. They even came over the day prior to meet them ❤️ Communication was easy and we came home to two happy pups and a tidy house. Would have them back anytime.

Safe house!

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