Kevin and Caryn took on the mammoth task of housesitting our home, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 6 goldfish and two turtles for a month whilst we embarked on a 4 week road trip to Cape York.
Being so far away from home can be daunting and often out of range of signal for long periods of time, but we felt completely at ease with Kevin and Caryn taking care of everything.

Nothing was too much, even our very excitable 2 year old English Staffy, for Kevin and Caryn and we had no worries at all over the time away.
Returning home everything was perfectly kept and it was really nice to come home to a nice, tidy clean home after such a long time on the road living in swags and dust!
Maizy - the staffy - gave us great reports on how well she had been loved and cared for whilst we were away.
Thank you Kevin and Caryn we would have no qualms recommending you to future clients.

Kevin and Caryn were easy to communicate with and they clearly love animals which was my main priority. My dog was very comfortable with them, and it set my mind at ease leaving him, knowing he would be well looked after. I really appreciated coming home to a sparkling house at the end of my trip! Thank you!
CHRISTINE (Beenleigh QLD, Sep 2023 - 27 days)
Thanks for caring for our home, pot plants and garden. You communicated well before and during our 2 month time away.
We came home to a very clean house and the pot plants and garden were looking good.
Thanks for taking the time to also send photos of the garden.
ANN (KYOGLE NSW, Jun 2023 - 2 months)
Kevin and Karin were great looking after our dogs, chickens & plants whilst housesitting for us. They dealt easily with a couple of glitches during their stay.
Very highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to contact them for future housesits if they’re available.
Thank you
NICOLE (Hervey Bay QLD, Mar 2023 - 1 week 1 day)
Kevin and Caryn are absolutely great housesitters. Great communication, animals very happy and the house left better than they found it. Second time they have looked after our house. Highly recommend them!
TOM (Douglas QLD, Jan 2023 - 1 Month)
Absolutely great house sit the two schnauzers Boris and Lilly were a delight to look after and of course Mittens the cat ,as what we called her once again thanks for the opportunity to house sit for you.
We came home to two happy doggies, all the birds looking good, a very green garden and a nice tidy house. Kevin and Caryn had to deal with lots of rain during our 4 weeks away and this dealt with it all very well. Kevin returned today to hand back the keys and our two doggies went straight to him for some love and to throw the ball, they were very comfortable around him. Thank you Kevin and Caryn and safe onward travels for 2023
ANGELA & BRIAN (Kelso QLD, Dec 2022 - 4 weeks)
Kevin and Caryn did a wonderful job looking after our house and our dog Fred. Fred will certainly miss them.
It was a pleasure to get home and have everything clean and tidy.
Would certainly recommend them.
WENDY (Ormiston QLD, Jul 2022 - 1 month 2 weeks)
It was our pleasure Wendy and Gavin were easy going, and we absolutely loved taking care of little Fred .
Dear Kevin and Caryn,
We were so grateful that you chose our house to sit, while we did a bit of travelling around our lovely state.
On our return the house was spotless and the fur babies going about the usual business, I am sure they didn't actually miss us at all.
We look forward to welcoming you back in July when we visit our children in WA.
Kind regards and best wishes

We cannot speak highly enough of Kevin and Karyn. Our trip was terminated at short notice because of the covid 19 emergency so we returned early with only 2 days notice. Kevin and Caryn were very understanding and quickly made alternate arrangements. We returned to find the house in immaculate condition and our pet well cared for, thoroughtly spoilt , in fact. They kept in touch regularly and coped with such challenges as a faulty smoke detector. We will be inviting to come back when we can ... MOREWe cannot speak highly enough of Kevin and Karyn.

Thank you John and Denise look forward to caring for Bertie Beetle again, when we can and / when we return to a normal life again. it was an absolute pleasure.
They house sat for me for 6 weeks. They send me emails with photos of my cat Brandy who blind and my dog Snow. The pets were in good condition when I got home and looked healthy and happy.
Kevin and Caryn mowed the lawns and the house was beautifully clean and tidy when I returned. The fridge and oven was cleaner than when I left.
I would highly recommend Kevin and Caryn as house sitters. I am just sorry they will not be available next year as they are returning to Queensland in January.

ROS (Jane Brook WA, May 2019 - 1 week)
Kevin and Caryn looked after my two dogs and house for 5 weeks and I could not be happier on my return. My dogs were healthy, happy and clearly well looked after. It was an extremely easy agreement with them and really nothing for me to do on my return. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone wanting pet sitters particularly for spoiled animals. A lovely touch by Caryn was leaving me a large jar of home made lemon butter using the over abundance of lemons I had available.
MARGOT (Padbury WA, Apr 2019 - 4 weeks)
A massive thank you to Kevin and Caryn for looking after our property for two weeks. The communication leading up to and the time we returned home was awesome. Kevin kept us up-to-date with how everything was going at home with my staffy Tonka, which was perfect knowing he was happy, receiving heaps of love and was in really good hands.
When we returned home I was in shock, my garden had never looked so green and lush and the house was clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Kevin and Caryn ...

When we returned home I was in shock, my garden had never looked so green and lush and the house was clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Kevin and Caryn to house sit, the process was stress free and nothing was too much to ask. I felt 100% confident that they would look after our property and Tonka as if it was their own, to which they did.
BROOKE (Gidgegannup WA, Feb 2019 - 2 weeks)
We would like to thank Kevin and Caryn Anderson for housitting for us Feb 2019 I would recommend them for any housitting and I would request them again to sit if available the rose garden was great when we arrived home and plenty of roses to bring inside
Thanks again
MARIE (Langford WA, Feb 2019 - 2 weeks 4 days)
Kevin and Caryn took excellent care of our home and pets while we were away. We came home to a clean house and very happy and well cared for cats and dogs and chickens etc. We received updates from Kevin while we were away so we knew that all our pets were doing well. Would definitely recommend.

Kevin and Caryn are a lovely couple who looked after our home and puppy while we were on our honeymoon.

Both Kevin and Caryn came to our home to meet with us prior to the house sit and they were so easy to deal with. As I had an up coming wedding I was very busy but handover of the home was effortless. Kevin was easy to communicate with and was available either by email or mobile.
On return from the holiday, our home was left spotless and our puppy was happy and healthy.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Kevin and Caryn for any house sitting positions in the future.
MELISSA (Duncraig WA, Oct 2018 - 1 week 5 days)
We came home to 2 very spoilt animals and a tidy home after 5 weeks away. Knowing that the fur babies and house were being looked after made it possible for us to have a very relaxing holiday. Thanks guys.
Kevin and Caron answered my add to house sit in November.
We came home to happy dogs a beautiful clean home.
I had just planted seedlings before I left ,thank you Caryn for watering them.
I highly recommend these wonderful house sitters. We would love them to sit for us again.
Cheers

I cannot sing Kevin and Caryn's praises more highly. They are wonderful caring people who took the extra time and care looking after our diabetic dog. They are very friendly yet professional in their approach to the housesit. Great work guys and it was a pleasure having you in our home.
SUE (Banksia Beach QLD, Nov 2016 - 1 week 2 days)
Kevin and Caryn looked after our house and dog for 14 weeks while we travelled overseas. It was great knowing that our they were being well looked after and made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our holiday. Kevin and Caryn were very attentive to our Labrador X and I have no doubt he got as much love and attention as what we would give him. They even kept up with regular play dates for him so his life was not disrupted while we were away. We came home to a clean house, freshly mowed lawns ...

Safe house!
There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
