We’ve always been an animal-loving family, so our home has never been short of furry (or feathered!) friends. We will care for yours as our own.

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

Being able to experience new places, the simplicity of discovering new things in communities whilst also giving owners a peace of mind knowing their homes and animals are cared for whilst they are off enjoying their well deserved adventure too.

Hi! We’re the Murray family from the Central Coast, NSW
Mel, Paul, our three-year-old son Sonny and our baby Arlo.

We’re a family who loves the simple things being outdoors, exploring new places, animals, and making memories together. We’ve always had animals as part of our lives ranging from feathered to furry. We genuinely love animals and enjoy getting to know their personalities, and quirks.

We’re a family who loves the simple things being outdoors, exploring new places, animals, and making memories together. We’ve always had animals as part of our lives ranging from feathered to furry. We genuinely love animals and enjoy getting to know their personalities, and quirks.

We understand how important it is to leave your pets and your home with people you can trust. We’re respectful, tidy and will treat your home like it’s our own. We’re happy to keep up with your usual routines, water plants, collect mail and send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing everything is being loved and looked after.

Our three-year-old Sonny is honestly an old soul trapped in a little body, the type of kid who will happily sit and chat with the neighbours, gently pat animals and bird watch 😆. He’s incredibly respectful and caring. Arlo is our happy little sidekick who just goes along with whatever adventure we’re on.

We’d love the opportunity to care for your home and your animals and give you complete peace of mind while you’re away, we know animals aren’t just animals they are family members!

Pet care

We’ve had animals as a huge part of our lives for as long as we can remember. Over the years we’ve cared for a wide range of animals including dogs, parrots, cockatiels, chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs, so we understand that every animal has their own personality, needs and routines.

Over the years we’ve cared for a wide range of animals including dogs, parrots, cockatiels, chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs, so we understand that every animal has their own personality, needs and routines.
Through my work in early childhood education, I’ve been the main carer for chickens and guinea pigs at my local preschool. This involved feeding them, maintaining their environment, monitoring their wellbeing and even taking them home on weekends or stopping by to make sure they were cared for.
One of our past dogs required daily medication and extra care, giving us experience with animals who need a little more attention, patience and consistency. We’ve also rescued injured bin chickens from the roadside 😆

No farm stay experience as such but have been the sole caretakers for chickens at my local preschool, and our large produce garden.
Paul is a very hands on and enthusiastic learner and is happy to help with any machine work.
