Hi! We’re Beth and Chris — a friendly, responsible couple who love to house and pet sit!

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

We love that house sitting offers a happy situation to both those who sit and are sat for. We love that we can care for homes and pets as if they were our own, and that we can do this superbly as previous pet owners, homeowners, landlords and rental tenants ourselves. We always reflect respect.

Our experience:

Hi there, Beth and Chris here!

Since October, we have completed six housesits and are moving onto our seventh and eight confirmed ones soon. We have already been asked to sit again for four of our sits, so I hope that proves what a good job we do. We truly care about your pets AND your home as if they were our own.

Our personal pets throughout life have included: dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and fish. We’ve cared for other species too, with Beth’s uncle and aunt as ... Read moreOur experience:

Hi there, Beth and Chris here!

Since October, we have completed six housesits and are moving onto our seventh and eight confirmed ones soon. We have already been asked to sit again for four of our sits, so I hope that proves what a good job we do. We truly care about your pets AND your home as if they were our own.

Our personal pets throughout life have included: dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and fish. We’ve cared for other species too, with Beth’s uncle and aunt as farmers, meaning Beth has been around all kinds of animals on a caring basis.

Since being in Perth, we have cared for... dogs, cats, guinea pigs and stick insects (!). We will also be adding birds, fish, snakes, donkeys and chickens to our list over our next two sits. As you can see from this, we're up for anything - we love all animals (our photos only add to the proof of our unwavering awe for them)!

Whilst our calendars are relatively full across the coming months, we are especially keen for longer term sits in the latter end of 2026 and into 2027. We will, however, consider anything so please do reach out (as will we).

We have reviews/references on other house/petsitting platforms (which I am not allowed to name here), so please reach out for those links and I can forward anything. We also have police checks (Beth) and DBS/WWCC/WWVP checks (Chris) completed for work purposes, which we would be happy to share as consider these give additional peace of mind to you too.



Why we want to housesit:

House sitting is the perfect way for us to begin our new chapter in Perth. As we’re relocating from overseas, it offers a meaningful and practical way to settle into the community, explore different areas, and settle into Aussie life while doing something we truly love - being in the company of animals.

We take comfort in knowing we can provide pet owners peace of mind, and in return, we get the joy of companionship and the opportunity to live like locals.

Having both grown up around pets, and having a lifelong love for animals, we value the trust placed in us to look after yours as if they were our own.



A bit of background on us:

Between us, we’ve always been surrounded by pets, including rescued ones, and caring for animals is something that’s always come naturally.

Beth has a background in ecological and environmental science, and has worked on conservation projects around the world — from the UK, to Indonesia, Borneo and Africa — caring for wildlife and supporting environmental efforts - so is extremely comfortable and familiar with settings and animals of all kinds.

Beth has spent a lot of time in Australia over the past sixteen years too, experiencing the lifestyle and landscape of Australia, both traveling and working all over. Our most recent visit, and Chris' first, was in December 2024, where we spent four weeks within country and confirming that Perth was where we wanted to plant roots. We both love the outdoors — hiking, swimming, beach walks, gardening, and being in nature. We love music, sport, travel, and simply experiencing life (we're really the sorts of people who are up for anything - we love a good laugh)!

In an attempt to change the world for the better (!), Beth now works as an Urban and Regional Planner to help make our places great for us, as well as for our flora and fauna. Chris works as a wheelchair specialist for active and passive users - encouraging and supporting an array of needs to help people thrive!

As previous homeowners, landlords and rental tenants ourselves (yes, we’ve been on every side of it!), we understand how important it is to feel your pets and property are in safe, caring hands. We will treat your home with respect and give your animals all the love and attention they need and deserve.

We’d love to meet with you and your fur-scaled-and/or-feathered family! Please reach out with any questions.

Thanks so much,
Beth and Chris

Hi! We’re Beth and Chris — a friendly, responsible couple who have moved to Perth in October. As we start this new chapter, house sitting gives us the perfect opportunity to find our feet, explore the local area, and settle in to Aussie life!

Beth & Chris have sat for us several times. House left in A1 condition. Great car of our dog with photos which show much affection. This sit was at short notice with great communication. We would not hesitate to use Beth & Chris again
Beth and Chris are a lovely couple who I would highly recommend to look after your house and fur babies. The house was left very clean and they even messaged to see if we would like the fire lit so we were warm on our return. The animals were very happy and relaxed when we got home. Their commutation was great sending us regular updates and photos. I would not hesitate in asking them to stay in the future, thanks Beth and Chris.

Beth & Chris have sat for us before. Once again excellent care of our home and our greyhound Bowie.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Beth and Chris care for our home while we travelled around Australia. Looking after our large property, extensive gardens, fish ponds, aviaries, aquariums, snakes and other much-loved animals was no small task, yet they handled everything with care and dedication. They were warm, genuine, honest and communicated exceptionally well throughout the six-month house sit. Our home was spotless, the gardens beautifully maintained, and every animal was clearly ...

Absolutely fantastic people, made leaving our house for 7 weeks an absolute breeze. Communication, care, cleanliness all of it was absolutely fantastic! We are so so greatful and would highly highly rate Beth & Chris! Thank you!
Beth and Chris were enthusiastic, caring sitters. They took on our pets like their own, were communicative about the animals' needs and routines, and clearly are huge animal lovers. The house was left clean and tidy. The dogs seemed settled and happy, and we received many photo and video updates. Beth and Chris had a few curve balls to negotiate in their time here, nearby fires, rain storms, etc, which they managed well and communicated with us on how to manage each situation.

Beth and Chris had a few curve balls to negotiate in their time here, nearby fires, rain storms, etc, which they managed well and communicated with us on how to manage each situation. Our property has given them good experience of living on a bush block in Australia during summer. We would recommend Beth and Chris to anyone looking for a caring, thoughtful couple for their dogs and other animals. We honestly felt very happy to know our dogs in particular had great company whilst we were away.

Beth and Chris are the most lovely couple. Win and Maesie adored them. A quick trip over east and my 2 floofs were cared for so well, we would love to have them sit any time they were available. Thank you so much for looking after Win and Maesie and all the love and care you gave them.
Thanks so much, Kellie! Drop us a message anytime

Beth & Chris met with us before the sit, it was obvious they were going to be a great fit. Regular photo updates on our dog who was obviously relaxed in the care of Beth & Chris. We would welcome them back into our home anytime. Totally satisfied.
Peace of Mind

Happy you!

With a house sitter looking after your pets, house and garden - you can really relax. Happy days.
