Annette & Garry

67, Retired

69, Retired

We are active retirees travelling around Australia in our self contained caravan. Home base is small acreage on the outskirts of Sydney which has been our home for 30+ years. This is a tank water only property hence we are very water aware.
We are experienced in small farm work including mechanical & fencing maintenance, farm animals, swimming pool care & maintenance, water reticulating systems, zero turn mowers, tractors etc. We also caretake for larger properties checking fences, dams, pumps & bores as well as keeping an eye on sheep, cattle & horses and monitoring and distributing lick blocks and bags.
We are reliable, honest, clean and tidy, non smokers and social drinkers without any pets whilst travelling.

Impressed is the one word that describes how we felt when coming back from our Holiday! Annette & Gary had kept the house beautifully clean, lawn mowed, sheds swept, veranda swept and most importantly all our animals had been spoilt by them for the 12 days we were away. Our own dog barked at us when we got out the car when arriving home after our holiday. Annette sms every few days to let us know what was happening around home and then cooked us tea and biscuits for when we got back..... Could ... MORE

It was an absolute pleasure to have Annette and Garry look after our property and animals while we took a short break. They are so friendly and accomodating to the needs of our pets, who were all very well cared for. The lawns and our side grass area were all mowed and we didn't need to do anything on our return. Annette also cooked us dinner that night and yummy homemade biscuits. This was much appreciated and just added another layer to their care and attention to detail. We would highly ... MORE

This was our first experience using house sitters - Gary and Annette far exceeded our expectations! They are lovely people, took wonderful care of our chooks and dogs (I think the pets may have actually preferred to stay with them �) and when we arrived home Annette had cleaned and cooked biscuits for us! We could relax and enjoy our holiday knowing our house and pets were in such capable hands Thanks Gary and Annette!

We could not have asked for a better couple to look after our house while we were away. Highly recommend them to anyone.
 
BRUCE & ROS (Goondiwindi QLD, May 2022 - 4 weeks)
This was our first time using aussiehousesitters while we were away and Annette and Garry exceeded all our expectations! Great communication upon arrival and we felt instantly at ease once they arrived. A very trustworthy and capable couple and I felt very comfortable leaving our property in their care whilst we had a break. We came home to a freshly mowed and whipper snipped lawn, my neglected veggie patch had been tidied up and all the animals were happy and well looked after. We feel very ... MORE
 
SANNE (Gunnedah NSW, Mar 2022 - 2 weeks)
Annette and Garry just completed a sit for us for nearly two weeks. They mentioned in their profile that they provide a sit to a high standard, this is a bit of an understatement. I would consider them both to be perfect homesitters. Our home was very clean and the lawns and gardens looked a picture when we returned. Annette is an excellent communicator and kept in touch when needed. Garry has great tradie skills and had no trouble understanding what was needed to provide a trouble free ... MORE
 
KEN AND JEANETTE (Wauchope NSW, Feb 2022 - 1 week 6 days)
Thank you Ken and Jeanette, we loved your house sit with your lovely home and delightful gardens and native visitors. We are both now firmly addicted to lemon myrtle tea, bonsai and Rummikub ! Thank you for extending your friendship so generously.
I recently had the pleasure of meeting Garry and Annette when they came to house sit my property. They are a lovely trustworthy couple and I felt at ease going away and leaving my property and pets in their care. All duties were performed to my satisfaction and I would not hesitate to have them sit for me again in the future if they are available. Well done Garry and Annette.

Praises cannot be high enough. My 2 dogs have been cared as though they were their own. My lawn was mowed. My soil was carted from front to back (broken arm). My spare tyre checked and pumped up plus an explanation of my car's engine. Chocolate cookies just baked awaited me. What more could I have wish for? Thank you both so much and I hope we meet again. Luka, Rosie & Elizabeth
 
ELIZABETH (Hopetoun WA, Jul 2020 - 10 days)
Garry and Annette were kind to offer their time to help us by house sitting while we were overseas. They were quick to respond to every communication prior to coming and advised when they expected to arrive. They proved to be a lovely couple, friendly and in tune with our needs. They were happy with the setup we have for their stay in their caravan using a granny flat we have on the back of our shed. We felt everything was in good hands when we left as they bonded with our dog quickly. They ... MORE
 
JOHN (Barragup WA, Feb 2020 - 4 weeks)
To come home from an extended holiday to find your property in a wonderful condition despite very hot conditions was a huge lift to our mindset, and knowing so much work had been done we slipped into a very relaxed state immediately. Annette and Gary provided an excellent service looking after our country property with caring and watering all our plants, mowing lawns feeding chooks and sheep, maintaining our watering system which is controlled by pumps and gravity feed, and generally ...
