Hullo there.. we are an honest, reliable,versatile couple married for 50yrs
( does that make us good or bad!!)
We have over the years had lots of experience looking after our own animals which included sheep,goats,horses,family pets of cats and dogs
( were the kids til they left home and we got landed with them for years!)
We have owned acreage properties including orchards.
I am a gardener, and happy to weed, water ,mow etc as needed and my husband the best fixit man I know!! From mowers to trucks, tractors etc.versatile in pool maintenance,pumps of all sorts, fencing repairs etc
We are going to be travelling Aus permanently in our caravan from Jan 2016 so would need space to park van, which would mean rural style properties, dates flexible at this stage. Probably shorter stays but open to suggestions.
We are non smokers, enjoy a wine or beer in the evening! ( our own!) and have excellent health, fit and active.
Thank you for viewing our profile and hope we can be of help along the way.
We have been doing many house sits as per our endorsements and have future bookings.
Regards

Dawne and Brent were absolutely amazing lovely people. Great communication, looked after our animals and house perfectly. Would 100% recommend them. We were sad to see them leave. It was our first time using AHS, so was a great experience. Thanks so much again Dawne and Brent.
 
MELISSA (Hervey Bay QLD, Dec 2023 - 2 weeks 3 nights)
Dawne and Brent have housesat 2 weekends in a row. They are friendly, super tidy and clean, awesome communicators and easy to get along with. All my animals were well taken care of and my home left very clean and tidy. They were flexible with their time and adjusted to any issues that arose. Would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a house sitter.
 
LEE-ANNE (Sandy Creek QLD, May 2023 - 3 days)
We are very pleased that Dawne and Brent answered our ad for a house sitter. They have a very friendly nature about themselves which came through in all our dealings with them. During our travels, Dawne would sms us weekly or fortnightly, as to how things were going and also their personal itinery, and to ask us our permission to be away overnight whilst they explored our part of this great country. Upon our return, the house and yard were in tip top order, and I hope we have made a life ... MORE
 
LES (Atherton QLD, Jun 2022 - 3 months)
Thank you so much Dawn and Brent for looking after our house and the cats - we could have not been happier with having you both stay. So sorry your stay (and ours) was cut short due to the Covid lockdown. The house was amazingly clean when we got home - I would highly recommend Dawn and Brent to anyone look for the perfect housesitters.
 
DANIEL (Sandgate QLD, Jan 2021 - 1 week 2 days)
Absolutely fantastic couple. Feel we have made some lovely new friends. Dog misses them as he felt so loved. Highly recommend Dawne and Brent. Thankyou both for making our holiday worry free.
 
SUE AND ROD (Limevale QLD, Jul 2020 - 1 month 1 week)
Dawne and Brent are the most fantastic house sitters. Our dog and cats loved them and received the best possible care. Our horses were looked after beautifully and the house was treated with the utmost respect. We are so thankful that we can have them back in December as it makes going away so much less stressful. They are also lovely people and we had a great chat over a few glasses of wine together. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them as housesitters to anyone that is looking for someone to ... MORE
 
MELANIE (Traveston QLD, Jun 2020 - 1 week)
We would absolutely recommend Dawne & Brent especially for anyone living on a rural property & wanting animals cared for. Our horses were looked after so well & there were even improvements done on the property which was a lovely suprise. Thankyou Dawne & Brent our new friends.!!
 
WENDY (Falconer NSW, Nov 2019 - 1 week 2 days)
This was our first experience using house sitters and we certainly hit the jackpot when Dawne and Brent responded to our ad. They cared for our horses and dogs as if they were theirs (probably better than we do!) They communicated with us throughout our time away and reassured us that all was well at home. And when we threw them a curve ball when our flight was cancelled on the last day of the booked house sit they took it in their stride. I cannot thank Dawne and Brent enough. We came home to ...

JANE (Narromine NSW, Sep 2019 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Dawne and Brent were wonderful housesitters. The house and garden were beautifully maintained, in fact, better than before we left. They were happy to do jobs around the place eg pruning trees and installing irrigation for us. Our chookies were healthy and happy but alas had stopped laying so Dawne and Brent were deprived of their delicious eggs. We kept in touch while away which gave us peace of mind that all was fine. We highly recommend this energetic and fun couple to look after your house ... MORE
 
SUZANNE (Carcoar NSW, May 2019 - 1 month 1 week)
Dawne and Brent did an amazing job looking after our place. We have two small dogs who are very high energy. We had intended to leave them in kennels for the two months that we were away, but Dawne said they would be happy to look after them. The dogs were very well cared for, and were even better behaved when we returned. We received regular updates from Dawne while we were away, which helped us to relax and enjoy our holiday. Dawne and Brent also looked after two cats, two cattle and a 23 ... MORE
 
SUE (South Wolumla NSW, Mar 2019 - 1 month 3 weeks)
Our pleasure. Thank you
We are so grateful to Dawn and Brent for their wonderful care of our property and animals while we were away. They are a lovely, helpful and extremely knowledgeable and capable couple, it was an absolute pleasure spending time with them and left us confident that they could handle anything that may crop up while we were away. I can highly recommend them as reliable, capable and trustworthy sitters and hope to see them again soon.
 
JAIME (Tooma NSW, Nov 2018 - 2 weeks 2 days)
No rating Thank you Brent and Dawne for taking such great care of Cookie she loved you and her holiday. It was so nice to be able to go away on our honeymoon knowing she was in great hands and to recieve photo's of her whilst we were away. Also another BIG thank you for taking such great care of our home and keeping it clean. We would have you back for another sit at anytime. For now Best wishes and safe travels Justine and Jamie
JUSTINE (Bakewell NT, Jul 2018 - 1 week)
No rating Reliable and committed. 100% would use again! We were truely amazed and appreciative of the effort Dawne and Brent went to. Dawne leapfrogged ahead on a 34 hour bus trip just to keep the commitment of the house sit. The dogs and house was in perfect condition on our return. Great house sitters
VANESSA (Karratha WA, Apr 2018 - 2 weeks 1 day)
No rating This was our first time having housesitters in our home and we certainly lucked in. Their communication with us from first accepting our ad to finishing the Housesit made everything all that much more easier. Thank you Dawne & Brent for making us feel relaxed on our holiday knowing that our home and pets were in professional and loving care... we miss you from Jedda & Gilly xx
DEBBIE (Bindoon WA, Feb 2018 - 2 weeks)
No rating I had the pleasure of Dawne and Brent house -pet sit for me while i was away overseas for two weeks.They are both a fantastic couple who looked after my pets and house as if it were their own. I have no hesitation in recommending them for your house sit. I hope I can use their services sometime again.
JEFF (High Wycombe WA, Dec 2017 - 2 weeks 1 day)
No rating Dawne & Brent... Amazing sitters, they did a great job of looking after our 19 "pets", with regular updates from Dawne we knew our house and animals were in safe hands. We came home to a lovely warm, clean house and very happy animals, a beautiful hand painted card, flowers and cake.. Many thanks Dawne & Brent, hope to see you again. Lester & Sue
SUE (Ironbank SA, Sep 2017)
No rating Dawne and Brent were truly amazing and inspirational in the housesitting task that they performed for us. Their effort in all areas was far beyond what we could have expected. We hoped that , as people with a rural background , that they enjoyed the experience, even though it may have appeared to be a long time . Unfortunately in a rather wetter and colder winter than normal. Our animals were cared for amazingly well as was our house and garden........far beyond our capacity to duplicate! ... MORE
CHRIS & SHELLEY (Cockatoo Valley SA, May 2017 - 4 months)
No rating We sincerely thank you, Dawne and Brent, for looking after our pets and house so well. We found you to be very easy to talk with, very friendly, adaptable and considerate. We came back from our trip to a spotless house, happy pets (Gina our dog is missing you already!), flowers on the kitchen table, fire in the fireplace and ... a painting of our beautiful hill, by the very talented artist Dawne! We are looking forward to meeting you again, for another house-sit or just for a visit. ... MORE
NELLY (Williamstown SA, Apr 2017 - 12 days)
No rating It was a great comfort having Dawne and Brent house sit for us.We felt at ease as soon as we met them and were confident the pets and home would be well taken care of. The animals were all very happy and gave their approval also of their carers. The pet updates we received were lovely and the house was left wonderfully clean and tidy. Thank you so much Dawne and Brent . Your diligent care was very appreciated. Happy travels :)
KARINA (Apollo Bay VIC, Apr 2017 - 1 week 3 days)
No rating Dawne and Brent were amazing. They were such loving, and caring people and we were immediately reassured that we could go away and everything at home would be taken care of. On our return, our pets were all happy, healthy and relaxed about life. I think our cat Jimmy is missing them both a wee bit. They went above and beyond in the care of our property and pets, including the 4 horses. If you can get these guys to sit for you, you can't go wrong.
CAROLINE EPSKAMP (Stradbroke VIC, Mar 2017)
No rating Dawne and Brent are what every dream house sitter can be. They are two of the most wonderful, caring people who you could every dream to come along and keep your home better than you can yourself! We can not recommend them enough, and wish them all the best in their travels. Come back soon
CLAIRE (Jindabyne NSW, Dec 2016 - 1 month 1 week)
No rating Dawne and Brent were absolutely fantastic house sitters, they were our first Aussie house sitters , and we would highly recommend them to any future house sit. a wonderful experience thank you. Syd and Maree.
SYD (Picton NSW, Nov 2016 - 4 weeks)
No rating If you are looking for house sitters then look no further. Dawne and Brent are amazing. We felt very comfortable with them from the moment we met and our animals adored them. We live on seven acres so needed someone that could look after the gardens and lawn. The gardens and lawn looked better when we got home then they did before we left. They are very thoughtful and respectful and it made our trip more enjoyable knowing they were there looking after things for us. Would highly recommend to ... MORE
GREGORY (Clarence Town NSW, Aug 2016 - 1 month 2 weeks)
No rating Dawne and Brent are among the best house sitters we have had over the past 8 years that we have been using Aussie Housesitters. They were honest, reliable and helpful we would not hesitate in using them again. They managed the cattle, the water trough system and general running of the farm very well while we were absent and our dog Harry missed them when they left.
JOHN AND DIANE - RIVER RIDGE (Ramornie NSW, May 2016)
No rating What a great couple to have care for our cottage, trees and animals! Dawne and Brent are a no nonsense, common sense couple who cared for ours as though it were theirs. We would like to have them back for future sits if they are available...which I doubt!
