Hello from myself (Sean) and James! We have been living in Perth for just over a year. Our friends have been a part of this community for a while & recommended we sign up!

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

House sitting gives us the chance to help people travel stress‑free while we care for their pets and home. After looking after James’ dad’s dogs over east, we realised how much we enjoy the routine, the animals and the change of scenery.

Welcome to our page and thank you for visiting! We are fairly new to the group but would love the opportunity to assist with your trip. We are a reliable and organised pair who genuinely enjoy caring for people’s homes and pets. Over the years we’ve looked after James’ dad’s dogs over east many times, and those trips really cemented how much we enjoy the adventure of house sitting in new places, new routines, and the chance to spend quality time with animals.

We are a reliable and organised pair who genuinely enjoy caring for people’s homes and pets. Over the years we’ve looked after James’ dad’s dogs over east many times, and those trips really cemented how much we enjoy the adventure of house sitting in new places, new routines, and the chance to spend quality time with animals.

Our friends have been a part of this community for quite some time and have shared how rewarding the experiences have been. They highly recommended we signed up, so here we are!

We approach every sit with respect and care. Pets get plenty of attention, calm handling and consistency with their usual routines. We’re comfortable with feeding schedules, walks and keeping animals settled while their owners are away. We treat them as part of the family while we’re there.

At home, we’re tidy, responsible and attentive. We’re used to managing plants, bins, mail, basic upkeep and keeping everything secure. Our goal is always to leave a home exactly as we found it.

Communication is important to us, so we stay in touch as much or as little as you prefer, whether that’s regular updates or just a quick check‑in.

House sitting gives us the chance to help people travel with peace of mind, knowing their home and pets are in good hands. It’s something we would genuinely enjoy and we’re always happy to discuss what you need. Whether you'd like to initially meet up or have a facetime we are open to whatever works best!

Pet care

We’ve had plenty of hands on experience with pets. We’ve looked after James's dads two energetic long haired Chihuahuas many times, keeping up with their routines and all the excitement that comes with them.

We’ve looked after James's dads two energetic long haired Chihuahuas many times, keeping up with their routines and all the excitement that comes with them. We both grew up with cats and dogs, so being around animals has always been a normal part of life for us. We also spend a lot of time with James’ sister's dog, who struggles pretty bad with anxiety and we’ve built a calm and trusting relationship with him. Overall, we genuinely enjoy being around animals, getting to know their personalities and making sure they feel safe, settled and cared for while their owners are away.

James’ dad can vouch for us, as we’ve looked after his dogs many times over east. We also have a couple of friends who can provide character references if needed. Just let us know and we’ll share their details.
