Alan & Jill

Non smoking, reliable, responsible, organised and adventurous, we have frequently provided house sitting and animal care for family and friends . For many years an aged, arthritic Ridgeback, a young enthusiastic black labrador and a 14 year old tortoiseshell were regular overnight guests at our home. In the past we have owned a variety of dogs ( including 2 Blue Heelers and a Kelpie), cats, chooks, cattle, plus the occasional pony.

In recent winters we have completed numerous jobs through Aussie House Sitters, and also several privately arranged sits. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, met some very warmhearted people and fell head over heels in love with many endearing animals. For us, the most difficult part of the sit is leaving our new furry or feathered friends!

We never charge for pet/house sitting as we love to engage with animals and to explore new places. This is more than sufficient reward for us.

As we take great pride in the quality of the care we provide, it has been wonderful to receive very positive feedback, particularly in relation to the condition in which we leave our hosts' houses, and the way in which we quickly develop firm but caring relationships with each individual animal. We are a house proud, non-smoking, easy going couple who enjoy regular walking/ hiking and relaxing in our own leafy garden when we are not off exploring. Always seeking new traveling experiences which will further expand our horizons, house sitting/pet care ticks all the boxes for us.

Our mission is for you to embark on a worry free break, knowing that your home and animals will be receiving the highest quality, loving care in your absence.

In addition to our Aussie House Sitters reviews, further recommendations and references can be readily provided. In our previous working life we regularly undertook the Police checks required by our professional standards body.
