About us

groupCouple

Debbie: 56, Remote administration/ HSE Specialist

Martin : 54, Operator / Handyman

An active couple who have rented out our house in Perth and are travelling Australia in our motorhome. We are non-smokers.

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

We love the opportunity to settle in an area and feel like part of the community, and have time to explore potential future home locations.

Looking after your home and pets is a privilege, and we are thankful for the trust the owners have in us.

Currently in WA.

I am available at all times, but Martin is still currently working on a 2:2 roster. Therefore house sits within 1-2 hours of major airports would be preferable, but all locations would be considered.

We also prefer rural or leafy suburbs over city sits - mainly due to the motorhome. We like to head out to explore for a few hours, so prefer that flexibility with our sits.

We're happy to stay in our motorhome (if power and water are available) or in your home if available/preferred. We also have a car for exploring, so are happy to take the dog(s) with us if permitted.

I can also assist with admin tasks you may need help with, as I work remotely as a document writer / HSE management system consultant. I also have my HR licence (unrestricted).

Martin was a builder in the UK, so can help out with small maintenance tasks. We've recently finished renovating a 1930s weatherboard cottage. Martin can operate most machinery and has his MC licence.

We love all animals and birds. Martin would preferably stay clear of snakes, and I'm not a fan of spiders. We are happy to house sit, or house and pet sit.

All length sits will be considered - short or long.

Pet care

We have owned cats, dogs, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and budgies but are currently building our experience up with other people's pets. We have mainly looked after friends and family pets in the past. I believe we would be suited to all types of sits, including small farms.

Deb - comfortable with horses as I had 3 of my own growing up. My family also had sheep, chickens and geese.

Martin - can operate most machinery. He has his MC licence too. He worked on a farm when he was younger.
