favoriteWhy we love house sitting

We love house sitting because it lets us experience places the way locals do. Living in a home, caring for pets, and settling into a routine helps us slow down, feel grounded, and really connect with each area we visit.

We’re a travelling family of five currently on a lap of Australia, taking time to explore each place slowly and respectfully while giving homeowners complete peace of mind.

We’re a reliable family who understand that a home is more than just a place, it’s where routines, pets, gardens and little details matter. Responsibility, organisation and clear communication come naturally, and our children are respectful, caring and used to helping out.

We’re a reliable family who understand that a home is more than just a place, it’s where routines, pets, gardens and little details matter. Responsibility, organisation and clear communication come naturally, and our children are respectful, caring and used to helping out.

We have extensive experience caring for homes, pets and gardens while travelling. Animals are always a priority for us and we follow routines carefully, provide lots of attention, and treat every pet as if they were our own. Our children are gentle and animal-aware, and we only accept sits where pets are comfortable around kids.

As full-time travellers, we don’t party, smoke, or host visitors. We value clean, tidy spaces and always leave a home as we found it (or better). Being on the road also means we’re flexible, communicative, and genuinely grateful for the opportunity to look after someone’s home.

We’re happy to provide updates, photos, references, and video calls before or during a sit. Your home, pets and garden will be well cared for while you’re away.

We’d love the chance to look after your place while we explore this beautiful part of Australia.

Pet care

We are a responsible, animal-loving family who treat every home with care and respect. My husband grew up on a farm and is confident with livestock, daily feeding routines and property maintenance.

My husband grew up on a farm and is confident with livestock, daily feeding routines and property maintenance. We’ve owned dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, birds, tropical fish and snakes, so we’re comfortable with a wide range of animals and their needs. Our children are gentle and experienced with pets; our daughter hopes to become a vet one day. We enjoy caring for gardens too, my husband loves outdoor work and I’m great with indoor plants. We’re tidy, reliable and happy to provide regular updates for peace of mind.

Ben grew up on a farm and has hands-on experience with sheep work including mustering, shearing support, tailing and ear tagging. He is confident with fencing, tractor driving, operating machinery, driving chaser bins and motorbikes, and handling minor mechanical repairs. As a qualified plumber, he is also experienced with irrigation and reticulation systems. He has regularly fed livestock hay and grain and understands the importance of routine and stock care. I have experience in fruit picking, washing and sorting, horse work, and riding motorbikes and quads.
