A Quality Service

62, Retired

66, Retired

We are a recently retired active couple, non smoking, now on the Sunshine Coast, after living in Brisbane for over 25 years where we had a coffee shop.
We are both originally from farming backgrounds and have a wealth of experience with pets and farm animals.After our Old English Sheepdog passed away we did pet minding through TopDog Minding for 10 years where we received several service awards. Minding involved walking, playing, feeding, exercise and providing any medical requirements where necessary. The dogs varied from the small terriers up to the large Great Danes. It was important to provide lots of cuddles as this was a time when the owners were away and the pets can become unsettled.
We are also members of Trusted Housesitters and have completed over 33 sits since we started late 2018, all with 5 star reviews. Our sits have involved a variety of pets including dogs, cats , fish , horses , sheep and cows.
We believe we provide a quality and caring service and that your pets and house will be safe and cared for whilst you are away.

Debbie and Mark did a fabulous job of caring for our ragdoll cat-Dolly. They sent daily photographs and updates and ensured that we returned to a clean and tidy house! Our plants and vegetable gardens were well-watered and looking healthy. We loved having them housesit for us and will certainly try to book them in the future๐Ÿ˜Š

I don't have enough words to thank Debbie and Mark Our cats and home we're so well looked after and I couldn't of asked for better communication. This was our 1st time having using any sort of house sitters and thanks to this experience we will use it again (hopefully Debbie and Mark are available) Returning to happy cats, a clean home and to top it all off our garden in better shape than when we left.

Debbie & Mark left the house in an immuculate condition. We received lovely photos each day of Ruby, our dog & also photos of the birds & fish. It was great to the see photos while we were away. We would definately recommond & definately hope to have them sit for us again in the future.
 
DEBBIE (Maroochydore/Buderim QLD, Jun 2023 - 1 week)
Debbie and Mark are very professional house-sitters which was obvious from the moment we began our communications. We met twice before commencing the sit so they could meet Millie - she took to them immediately. I couldn't be happier with how they cared for Millie while I was away. I received daily photo updates and came home to a very happy and relaxed dog, clean house and even fresh flowers and a card to welcome me back. I don't think Millie missed me at all, which is doubly wonderful as she ... MORE
 
JULIE (Bulimba QLD, Jan 2023 - 2 weeks 3 days)
We were thrilled that Mark could care for our house and pets again while we were away as we knew from previous experience that we could relax knowing that all was in very good hands. Our dog just loved his early morning beach walks and again in the afternoon and was probably wishing we stayed away longer! We returned to a very happy, fit pooch and an equally contented cat. We looked forward to our daily photos and updates which were always entertaining and returned to a perfectly clean house ... MORE

Debbie and Mark communicated clearly before, during and after the sit. They were warm and caring towards our animals and home. The house was clean and cared for and our animals were stress free when we left and returned. Receiving the Live Photos each day were an added bonus along with a card and flowers on our table. We would definitely recommend them for your house sit and would welcome them back also.
 
NATASHA (Aroona QLD, Sep 2022 - 3 days)
Debbie and Mark are super professional house-sitters and this was obvious from the moment we began our communications. We couldn't be happier with how they cared for our dog and house while we were away. We received daily photo updates and came home to a very happy and relaxed dog and super clean house with linen washed and even fresh flowers to welcome us back. I doubt if our pooch even missed us, he looked so happy in every photo! Knowing that all was in good hands in our absence made our ... MORE

This is the second time Mark and Debbie have sat for us, and we are pleased to highly recommend them once again. Our two dogs were well cared for with two walks per day, and Mark and Debbie kept us updated with regular messages and photos. When we returned the house was immaculate. Many thanks Mark & Debbie!
 
GLEN (KALINGA QLD, Feb 2022 - 1 week 2 days - 1 of 3 endorsements from this owner )
Debbie and Mark were delightful house sitters. They looked after our cat, Fudge, and the house to perfection. They took time to get to know Fudge's quirks, were easy to get along with, and had great communication (with daily photos!). We could not have had a better experience for our first time using Aussie House Sitters and highly recommend them as house and/or pet sitters. Thank you again! :)
 
KATHERINE (Kennington VIC, Jan 2022 - 6 days)
Debbie and Mark were fabulous house sitters and we would not hesitate to use them again. They communicated well before and during the sit, sending us daily updates and photos of our dog. We came home to a clean , tidy house and a happy dog. Can't thank them enough, it gave me peace of mind knowing my boy was being well looked after.
 
TRACEY (Maleny QLD, Sep 2021 - 1 week 5 days)
Mark and Debbie took great care of our house and two dogs. They were very responsive when we were setting up the sit, and were flexible when we needed to be away an extra day. They kept us informed with messages and photos while we were away, and we are very pleased to add our recommendation to the many positive reviews Mark & Debbie have already received.
 
GLEN (Kalinga QLD, Aug 2021 - 1 week 1 day - 2 of 3 endorsements from this owner )
OMG these two people Debbie and Mark are totally unique! We came back to a very clean house, a super happy puppy and surprises on the table for us! They are very friendly and really care about your house and pet. they kept us up to date with photos and videos of Watson out and about with them. I don't think he missed us all! We will definitely look for them again but I know they will be booked heaps ahead! Absolutely 100 % best house sitters ever!
 
MANON (Cleveland QLD, Jul 2021 - 1 week)
Debbie and Mark were very easy to engage as house and dog sitters. They were very accommodating to my elderly dog's needs and took her special needs in their stride. They took great care of her and let me know how she was doing every day, along with a photo of their walks. The house was clean and tidy to come home to and they had even washed their sheets and remade the bed! I would happily have them sit Stellar again and would certainly recommend them to others.

Debbie and Mark looked after our house, garden and most importantly our Border Collies, Benson and Hamish for a week. Prior to the sit we had met and then communicated as needed. We received daily updates and pictures of the dogs out on adventures which was much appreciated. On our return every thing in the house and garden was tip top- there were even some freshly baked cookies on the kitchen counter, We highly recommend Debbie and Mark and have already arranged for a return visit.
 
PAUL (Noosa Heads QLD, Jun 2021 - 1 week 1 day)
Debbie and Mark were great! They took great care of my fur babies and provided me with daily updates and pics. This was the first time leaving my dog Dexter and I felt quite anxious about leaving him Debbie and Mark helped put my worries at ease and made sure he got all the attention and walks he needed. House, garden and pool were well maintained - spotless upon my return ! Lovely card and treats left for the fur babies . Can highly recommend Debbie and Mark for any house sit!
 
LISA (Mount Sheridan QLD, Apr 2021 - 12 days)
After a last minute cancellation of an earlier house sitter, we contacted Mark who made plans to accommodate our house sit. Mark was an exceptional house sitter and took great care of our house and dogs. Poppy and Lawson received regular walks and plenty of attention, exactly what each of them enjoy. Mark was open and willing to continue the dogs daily routine, they were both very cheerful when we returned. We were very delighted to return home to a house cleaner than when we left and a well ...

KRISTIE (Buddina QLD, Jan 2021 - 6 days)
: We had the pleasure of having Debbie and Mark house sit for us recently. They went well beyond their obligations, in particular caring for our pool. Our pets were well looked after and our home and yard left neat and tidy. We would highly recommend them to anyone in need of trusted house sitters.
 
KARLA (Tewantin QLD, Nov 2020 - 2 weeks 3 days)
Debbie and Mark were excellent house sitters. All of our pets were very well taken care of. They quickly took care of a leaking fish tank and solved the problem while we were away. We came home to a very clean house and lovely bunch of flowers! Would recommend these sitters any time
 
YOLANDA (Eatons Hill QLD, Dec 2019 - 1 week)
Mark and Debbie were excellent housesitters who we would welcome back at any time. They were easy to communicate with and our house and gardens were well cared for. Our cat (Molly) was happy and content when we arrived home. We were very pleased with Mark and Debbies care for our home.
 
GARRY (Mount Cotton QLD, Nov 2019 - 1 week)
Thanks Debbie & Mark for being the most friendly and professional house sitters we have ever met.. Upon our arrival home we walked into the most immaculate house and were greeted by a very happy, contented dog. We even found a box of chocolates and a thankyou card on the table. We highly recommend this couple for any lucky pet owners. Gwen & Ken Clout
 
GWEN (Jervis Bay NSW 2540 NSW, Oct 2019 - 6 days)
Debbie and Mark came to us as seasoned pet sitters who had mainly operated through other sites. After our long weekend away, we found them to fit right into the Aussie Housesitter mold. One of our cats required simple medication. This was handled well. The house was left in a tidy state, bed linen drying on the line and a gift of herb plants found at the local market. They were fun to get to know and followed through when it counted in looking after our home and babies. A good choice for your ... MORE
