BobnLyn - recent house/pet sit exp & reviews

Just 70, retired, ecologist and former national parks and wildlife ranger

Just 70, retired, former local govt admin employee

We are active, healthy, proud home owners and reside in northeastern NSW and as experienced house sitters recognise that respect for the house owners, their homes and of course caring for their pets is of paramount importance. We have made some lasting friendships with home owners, many requesting repeat sits of us. We are both fully vaccinated for Covid-19.

We have recent police checks. Since retirement (2014) we have travelled extensively including a lap of Australia in 2014-15; the UK (May-Oct 2017) NZ (Jan-Feb 2019) utilising house/pet sitting along the way. We usually use our campervan or BnBs between sits when away from home. Over the last four years, during some 70+ house sits (thru this and other websites) we have enjoyed caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, alpacas, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, peafowl, caged birds and worm farms.

We have had pets of our own over many years (dogs, cats, rabbits, sheep, cage birds, poultry and homing pigeons) and have rehabilitated injured/ orphaned native wildlife for release to the wild. We have had tropical and marine aquariums, turtles and frogs. In the UK and NZ we cared for horses, pigs, and the usual dogs, cats, chickens and ducks. We also farm sat a deer farm in NZ!

House/pet sits have allowed us to spend time in regional centres, meet some lovely folk and get to know some really wonderful pets. We enjoy the company of pets of all sorts, we are happy exercising them, feeding, cleaning up after them and loving them as our own, however we will not have them sleep with us!! Further, we wish to avoid larger, more boisterous doggos or those that are not so easy to walk on leash.

We are both active, house-proud, clean-living non-smokers enjoying the outdoors, including gardening and caring for (most) pets. We do not travel with pets although we have had and cared for pets of many types over the years.

We are happy to forward sms/email updates (with pics of your pet/s) regularly for your peace of mind.

Bob was formerly (1973-2002) a senior ranger for NSW national parks and wildlife service, then an environmental consultant 2003-2014; Lyn was Land Information Officer with Local Govt for 20+ years to 2013.

Bob has done (and will do) solo house sitting gigs whilst Lyn is on nana duties!

Hobbies include gardening, bird-watching, keeping native stingless bees and casual bush walking.

Thank you for taking the time to read our profile

Lyn and Bob were fabulous, our dogs were very happy. Great communication and the house was lovely and clean for us to come home too. We would definitely have them back looking after the girls and house.Thankyou to you both
 
TRACEY (Redlynch QLD, Aug 2023 - 4 nights)
A lovely couple, Bob and Lyn kept us updated while we were away. House was exactly as we left it, all the furrys were happy and well cared for. A great experience all round.
 
DONNA (Booyong NSW, Jan 2024 - 1 night)
Great to meet Bob and Lyn who are highly experienced sitters and as it turns out both animal and plant lovers so our house, dogs and garden looked better after their stay than when we left it. I think the dogs were rather spoilt and didn't want them to go. Great pair to have for our first experience of Aussie House Sitters. Highly recommend them and the website - 5 stars all round. Thankyou
 
DEAN AND JACQUE (Toukley NSW, Dec 2023 - 1 week 3 nights)
Bob and Lyn were lovely house sitters. They were attentive to my dear dog and the house was so clean when I got home. The four days they stayed at my place had a couple challenges one being Telstra upgrades in the area causing reception issues, but Bob and Lyn still managed to communicate well and send me photos daily. Thanks Bob and Lyn, hope to have you back again soon.
 
MICHELLE (Coffs Harbour NSW, Dec 2023 - 4 nights)
Bob and Lyn did a good job looking after our two energetic Jack Russells and keeping them happy. They also kept up updated with pictures which was great.
 
MELANIE (Norfolk Island External Territories, Sep 2023 - 4 weeks)
We are used to 5 star reviews, we are therefore disappointed with this review as we were particular with our care of Meli’s pets, house and garden as we are with all our house sits. (Unfortunately we had one minor breakage which we replaced, and a small number of many hibiscus cuttings in water ... MORE
Bob and Lynn were fabulous. They met us ahead of their stay to get the low-down, actively got to know our pets, kept in touch and solved a few problems as they popped up. They left the house clean and tidy and were very flexible with a late change of return date. We highly recommend this lovely couple. We hope our paths cross again one day!
 
SHARNI (Kuranda QLD, Aug 2023 - 4 days)
Bob and Lyn were friendly and easy to work with, and were in regular contact during their stay. I arrived home to find my house as I left it, my many pot plants well cared for, and two happy little furries. I’m confident to recommend Bob and Lyn as carers/sitters. Thank you again, Bob and Lyn.
 
MARGARET (Bowen QLD, Aug 2023 - 8 days)
I highly recommend Bob and Lyn, they took great care of our home and cat. They are very easy to deal with, good communication, polite and courteous. Definite 5 Stars
 
CYNDEE (Palmwoods QLD, Jul 2023 - 4 days)
Bob and Lyn were a great, we had no problems when we met and left our beloved 14 year old Bichon with them in our house. When we returned he was healthy and happy and the house was left the way we left it. Would fully recommend Bob and Lyn.....very easy to get on with.
 
WENDY (YAMBA NSW, May 2023 - 3 nights)
Bob and Lyn were amazing house sitters!! They took great care of our puppy and left the house and granny flat spotless. They kept in contact with us throughout our week away, so we always knew everything was ok. I would really recommend them to anyone wanting trustworthy, caring sitters to look after their pet and home.
 
KATHERINE (Old Bar NSW, Jan 2023 - 5 nights)
Bob and Lyn were exactly right for our housesit. They are really nice people who were careful of our fragile conservation park environment, cared for our house and garden conscientiously and managed other maintenance tasks . They were appreciative of what our area offers and flexible in their commitment. Bob's knowledge of the birdlife was extensive and taught us things we did not know. We hope they pass our way again. Ken and Jeanette
 
JEANETTE (Laura Bay SA, Sep 2022 - 3 weeks)
Bob & Lyn were really lovely - we felt very comfortable with them straight away. They kept us updated with how everything was going at home & sent through regular photos of our cat Molly. Our home was left very clean & tidy & we feel very confident in recommending them. Many thanks again Bob & Lyn.
 
KERRI (Watervale SA, Sep 2022)
What a pleasure it was, to be able to go away for a few days and leave my home and dog in the safe, capable hands of Bob and Lyn. They left my home in exactly the same condition I had handed over to them. While I was away, they routinely sent me updates of how settled my dog was in their company and enquired after matters needing my direct and immediate attention. Being courteous and thorough, they deserve to attract the highest of accolades as sitters and I strongly recommend this very ... MORE
 
PETER (Gympie QLD, Aug 2022 - Six days)
A huge thank you to Bob and Lyn for the care given to our home and pets. It was reassuring to know that all was well whilst we enjoyed our holiday without a worry.
 
JOHN AND JULIA (Speewah QLD, Jul 2022 - 2weeks)
I would highly recommend Bob & Lyn. Very accomplished house sitters. They kept us up to date with photos of our fur babies which is a sweet gesture to do. They looked after the house beautifully and were very easy to communicate with. Very respectful of our home and loving towards out pets. Many thanks to them both.
 
SHIRLEY (Beechmont QLD, Jun 2022 - 5 days)
Bob was a fantastic sitter for our fussy demanding cat and slightly anxious dog. He also took great care of our home and grounds - heritage listed and not the easiest to look after- and left all in great condition. We would be very happy to have Bob house/pet sit again in the future.?
 
CHRISTINE (Murrurundi NSW, Apr 2022 - 10 days)
Lyn & Bob are a lovely couple and they took great care of our gardens & a variety of animals whilst we were away. They sent us just the right amount of text message updates and some photos to let us know how things were going on the farm. They tended to a joey with an injury on her foot as well as giving a daily bottle to the little ones and feeding them and some of my "released" Macropods. They left the studio accommodation clean and all the linen etc had been washed and hung out to dry. ... MORE
 
CHARLENE (Moparrabah NSW, Feb 2022 - 1 week)
Bob and Lyn were very pleasant to deal with. They communicated regularly and proficiently which was much appreciated. Bruce our cavoodle was healthy and happy on our return. He was walked regularly. Our house and garden was well cared for. I would happily have them return for a house sit and highly recommend them for any house sit. Thank you Bob and Lyn.
 
JUDITH (Craignish QLD, Sep 2021 - 1o days)
Really appreciated Bob and Lynn taking great care of our home and Banjo our dog. Appreciated also the regular communication and the effort made to meet prior the day before the sit.
 
PHILIP AND JANINE (North Lakes QLD, Sep 2021 - 3 days)
Thanks
Bob & Lyn were wonderful house sitters. They walked Mitzy my little dog and looked after Peppie the cat. They sent photos and kept me up to date with everything while I was away. The house was left clean as a whistle on my return! I would highly recommend them both. Thank you!
 
JANE (Yeppoon QLD, Sep 2021 - 1 week)
Bob and Lyn house sat for us for 3 nights and took care of our little Oscar (cat) We definitely recommend Bob and Lyn as they took care of the house and in fact I believe it was cleaner than what we left it! We have asked Bob and Lyn to house sit again for us in a couple of weeks as we were so happy with them. thanks again we really appreciate being able to go away and not worry about the house or our fur babies!!
 
JASON (Kanimbla QLD, Jul 2021 - 3)
Thankyou Cindy and Jason it was a pleasure staying in your comfy home with amazing views, Oscar was so easy to care for. We look forward to our next sit for you.
As our beautiful old golden retriever is very elderly now and on medication, we haven't been away this year but when a special wedding came around we needed trustworthy sitters who would look after our girl!( and our hens) Luckily Bob and Lyn were around! We met up a few days in advance and did the "grand tour" and we immediately felt comfortable with their friendliness , experience and "no problem " approach. It was wonderful to come back to a sparkling home! Even though it was only a short ... MORE
 
ELIZABETH (Blacks Beach QLD, Jun 2021 - 4 nights)
Bob and Lyn were reliable and prompt animal lovers who left the household in top notch condition - warmly recommend them to others.
 
HELI (Mount Pleasant QLD, Jun 2021 - 9 days)
If your looking for a couple to care for your house, pets, garden etc you really can't go past Bob and Lyn. They were great to communicate with, always open to discuss requirements. They Sent a few photos of our dogs and cat having a great time with them. Couldn't rate these guys highly enough.
 
TIM (Bouldercombe QLD, Jun 2021 - 4)
We were so grateful to have Bob and Lyn looking after our 2 rambunctious beagles over the weekend. They were both professional and friendly in all communications. They were very happy to do whatever we asked in caring for the dogs and house, going above and beyond in their efforts to allow us a stress free weekend, Bob sent photos and updates of the dogs' antics. The house was I think cleaner after they left than when they came :) - lovely to come home to a spotless home, happy dogs, bed linen ... MORE
 
HELEN (Frenchville QLD, Jun 2021 - 3 nights)
Bob was truly an excellent house sitter in every way. When we met prior to the sit I felt very comfortable knowing our house and pets were in good hands, and indeed they were. Bob's communication was brilliant and he was in regular contact, reassuring us with photo updates of our pets. He handled the different personalities of our pets with ease and on our return the house was just as we left it and the pets were all happy. I have no hesitation in recommending Bob as a wonderful, caring and ... MORE
 
GABBY (Caniaba NSW, Apr 2021 - 4 days)
Thankyou Gabby, despite the inclement weather I had a pleasant long weekend at your clean and comfortable home with awesome views, only 10mins drive from Lismore and easy care pets, including cats with character! Fresh eggs were much appreciated also.
Bob and Lyn came to our rescue at short notice and we couldn't be happier with their communication, they even took the time to send us photos and kept us updated on a regular basis. We could not rate them highly enough. The house was left neat and tidy and we came home to a happy dog.
 
GARY (Grafton NSW, Mar 2021 - three days)
Bob has been an excellent house and dogsitter. He kept me updated about my dog throughout the stay and dog was relaxed when I got home. He also looked after my garden and many potplants. The house was just as I left it when I returned. I would definitely have Bob look after my dog and house again!
 
KAREN (Murwillumbah NSW, Nov 2020 - 4 nights)
Thank you Bob and Lyn for taking such good care of bella for me while I was away. I will hopefully see you again for another housesit. I know Bella will be pleased.
 
LYN (Cleveland QLD, Aug 2020 - 3 days)
Bab and Lyn made themselves available to us at short notice and did a wonderful job of looking after Teagan and the gardens. They let us know how things were going every day, and we returned home to everything in order and a happy cat. Thank you, Clarke and Kirsty.
 
CLARKE (Delaneys Creek QLD, Aug 2020 - 3 nights.)
Thanx Clarke and Kirsty
Bob was excellent on all accounts, great communicator sending us photos of the animals, took the dog for long walks and managed to entice a very shy cat indoors for her dinner. And look after 3 demanding chooks. Our house was immaculate. Couldn't have asked for a better house and animal minder and highly recommend Bob.
 
WENDY (Umina Beach NSW, Mar 2020 - 4 days)
Our dogs and house were very well looked after. The house was spotlessly clean when we came back and linen washed and put back on the bed. Dogs looked very happy. Thanks Bob & Lyn. We would be happy to have you back at any time and highly recommend you as house (and pet) sitters.
 
SAFFRON (Anna Bay NSW, Dec 2019 - 1 week)
It was our absolute pleasure to have Bob and Lyn stay. They are a lovely couple and treated our apartment, plants and guinea pigs with respect and gave them all the care they needed. They also gave us regular updates and we did not have to worry once while we were overseas as we knew our place was in safe hands. Bob and Lyn also left the apartment immaculate and we would not hesitate to have them back for another stay and would highly recommend them.
 
CELESTE (Chiswick NSW, May 2019 - 10 days)
Wonderful couple, kept us update with our pets even able to tablet one of my stubborn dogs. Would recommend them
 
CAROL (RD1 Ruakaka , Feb 2019) From Kiwi House Sitters
We never had the opportunity to meet Bob and Lyn but they came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Our place was immaculate when we arrived home, there was fresh milk and other staples in the fridge. Our cat ( although happy to see us of course) was happy well fed and well groomed.. They even kept an eye on our pet deer ! Their communication was excellent, we are delighted they were willing and able to take care of our place and could not rate them highly enough
 
MEL (1420 SH5 , Jan 2019) From Kiwi House Sitters
Fantastic sitters. All animals were well looked after and I received regular updates. House was left clean and tidy.
 
ALISON (Pahiatua North Island, Jan 2019 - 1 week 1 day) From Kiwi House Sitters
Bob offered us the peace of mind that we needed when we had to leave our cat and travel to Melbourne for a wedding. Our relationship started with very clear and direct communication and everything went according to plan from there. .We arrived back home to a happy cat, clean linen and a spotless home.
 
CAROL (North Turramurra NSW, Dec 2018 - 3 days)
No rating Bob and Lyn stayed at out home recently for a short stay, and we were absolutely delighted. Communication before and during the sit was fantastic.

KELLIE (NANA GLEN NSW, Sep 2018 - 2 days)
No rating Bob and Lyn were fantastic housesitters, we couldn't have asked for better people. They looked after our cat and dog brilliantly and sent regular photos of them enjoying life. On our return home you wouldn't have known anyone had stayed, everything was spotless. They update via text what was happening and their movements for departure. We would recommend Bob and Lyn very highly. Thanks Bob and Lyn.
BRETT DOYLE (REDLYNCH QLD, Aug 2018 - 5 days)
No rating Thank you so much Bob n Lyn for looking after my boisterous staffy Bluey and my home at Iluka. I would highly recommend you as house sitters to anyone.

The house was immaculate on my return and it was lovely of you to get in some milk for me thanks again for giving me so much peace of mind. I hope we get the opportunity ti have ... MORE
YVONNE (Iluka NSW, May 2018 - 6 days)
No rating Bob and Lyn looked after our two furbabies while we travelled for business. They arrived early so we could do a proper hand over and bonded with the doggies straight away. They kept us updated each day with photos and snippets of information which really helped as we were missing our babies a lot! When we arrived home, the house was spotless and they even followed up to ensure we were happy with everything. Thank you Bob & Lyn for taking care of things so beautifully for us. Highly recommend ... MORE
VANESSA (Raby Bay QLD, May 2018 - 5 days)

No rating BobnLyn were absolutely wonderful! Upon meeting them, we felt immediately confident leaving our property and pets in their hands! They had a few issues arise during their stay, that they dealt with brilliantly. They sent photos so we knew how happy and well cared for our pets were. Upon return we found our home beautifully tidy and the garden thriving. We can't recommend BobnLyn highly enough!
SUE (Orange NSW, Jan 2018 - 1 week 3 days)
No rating Initially we were a little apprehensive using the internet to find a "stranger" to look after our home and furbabies. When your pets are your babies, it's difficult to entrust their care to someone else. After speaking to Bob and meeting him and Lyn before we left, we felt at ease. We've now returned from our little holiday and are very impressed with the state of our home. I think it's even cleaner than when we left! Even more pleasing was the manner in which they cared for our ... MORE
JENNY (Lake Haven NSW, Dec 2017 - 1 week 4 days)
No rating We have no hesitation in recommending Bob and Lyn as house sitters. They are very organised, communicate frequently and have great caring and practical skills both for our animals and home. We were able to relax and enjoy our holiday knowing that our home and animals were in good hands. They did everything we asked and left the house spotless and even cleaned the bird houses out for our return. Thank you and if you return to the UK...let us know.
LIZ AND NIGEL (Portree, Isle of Skye, Sep 2017)
No rating Bob and Lyn are a friendly couple. They kept us informed of how are beloved pets were and sent photos most days!

We have no hesitation in recommending them as good reliable carers of both house and pets.
LIN & STEVE (Silverdale, UK , Aug 2017)
No rating What a great experience to have BobnLyn house and pet sit for us. Prior to the sit we had email contact and were able to meet several days before our departure. Bob also kept regular email contact with us during our time away. We felt very comfortable about leaving our house and dog in their hands and came home to a spotless house, a happy dog and what a treat, a delicious casserole for our dinner. We are very happy to recommend BobnLyn for any future housesits.
ROBERT AND HELEN (Empire Bay NSW, Mar 2017)

GAVIN (Lutwyche QLD, Jan 2017 - 5 days)
No rating Bob and Lyn cared for my home, 13 year old dog and 3 chickens for 4 days in Sept. They were honest, caring and enthusiastic with all correspondence and I returned to a clean house and a happy dog. I can recommend both Bob and Lyn as fantastic House sitters. Thankyou
JULIE (Laurieton NSW, Sep 2016 - 5 days)
No rating Bob and Lyn were our house and doggie sitters for a four-day period early in September 2016. Upon first meeting them, my wife and I were favourably impressed and were confident to leave our house and dog in their care. We received daily text messages on the well being of our dog and that there were no problems with the house. This enabled us to relax in the knowledge that all was well at home, and we were able to enjoy our holiday more fully. Upon our return we were absolutely delighted ... MORE
TREVOR BETTISON (Coffs Harbour NSW, Sep 2016 - 3 days)
No rating Bob did a wonderful job of taking excellent care of our house and animals. We had regular texts and video footage of our dog Tom which was so reassuring and bob was so easy to communicate with. We even came home to a beautiful bunch of flowers, thankyou so much bob:)
VICKY (Mooloolah QLD, Jun 2016 - 3 weeks 5 days)

RHEA (Conondale QLD, Jun 2016 - 2 weeks 2 days)
No rating My house minding is a little unusual. I have international students that reside at my house along with my dog and cat. Although this was a housesit for Bob, I was pleased to meet both Bob and Lyn prior to housesitting for me. Bob was just amazing and was able to assist with the students and the animals and in constant communication while we were away. I came home to a clean home, happy animals, and 3 happy students whom arrived after we had left for vacate along with a flourishing garde!. ... MORE
TARA (Maroubra NSW, Apr 2016)

KAY (Devonport TAS, Mar 2016 - 4 days)
No rating Bob and Lyn looked after our house and two cocker spaniels over 3 nights and 4 days. They took exceptional care with our two dogs who need medication and special food and won them both over so that we could go on our trip without a worry. They left our home beautifully clean and having spent some time with them before we departed I can say they are very genuine. I would recommend them to anyone looking for great sitters.
JANELLE (Sandy Bay TAS, Mar 2016)
No rating Bob and Lyn are a joy! They loved our pets and looked after our house, kept in touch so we knew all was well. A big thankyou to them both!
RANI (Cygnet TAS, Feb 2016 - 3 days)
No rating We came home to a spotless house with roses from our garden and welcome home note on our kitchen bench. Bob and Lyn are a fantastic couple who took care of our house and livestock which included four alpacas, five sheep and six Isa Brown laying hens on our 9 acre property. They sent photos regularly of our animals, especially ones at feeding times and they were well looked after. Great with communication, if there were any concerns about anything on the property or house they let us know ... MORE
HELEN (YARRAGON VIC, Feb 2016 - 1 week 5 days)
No rating Absolutely Amazing Housesitters. Bob and Lyn made our holiday free from worry over leaving our house and pets and the daily updates were great! We came home to our house and pets so well looked after better than we left it and them. Thank you so much.
SANDRA (Eltham VIC, Jan 2016)
No rating Bob and Lyn proved themselves to be amazing house sitters. They came and met the furry family before we left and right from the first moment we met them we knew we were leaving our babies in good hands. The whole time we were away we had constant updates from Bob and Lyn and also got some very welcome pictures of our fur babies. We came home to a beautifully clean house and very happy, healthy animals. Even our neighbours made comment of how great they were in the house. I can definitely ... MORE
LISA (Edmonton, QLD, Sep 2015 - 3 weeks)
No rating Thankyou so much to Bob for taking care of our home and our multitude of animals for 6 days. This included 2 x very spoilt fluffy dogs. We had excellent communication prior to the sit and during as well with regular sms updates incl pics :) All animals were extremely well cared for and the dogs were very excited to see Bob when he returned to say goodbye the day after our return. Our house was immaculate and the backyard / outdoor area had been attended to without request. We highly ... MORE
STEVE & DEB (Gladstone, QLD, Jul 2015)
No rating You will not find a friendlier, more responsible or caring couple than Bob and Lyn. We were lucky enough to entrust the care of our home, bird and garden to them for over five weeks in June 2015. They sent us regular updates and genuinely tried to do everything they could to take care of our pet with diligence and kindness. We returned home to an immaculate house and a garden that was thriving. We have no hesitation in highly recommending Bob and Lyn as future house sitters. They were ... MORE
RENAI (Pottsville Beach, NSW, Jul 2015 - 1 month 1 week)
No rating Bob and Lyn are a lovely couple. They have beautiful adventures to talk about from their travels and they are very easy going and relaxed. Our dog enjoyed spending time with them. We really appreciate the care they had for our dog and for the house. They kept our home clean and tidy after they left. We got home to a tired and happy labrador after our long weekend away..that must be a good sign ;) We will definitely contact them next time we need a housesitter to see if they are available. ... MORE
SYBIL (Port Macquarie, NSW, May 2015)
No rating I highly recommend Bob and Lyn Moffatt as housesitters and pet minders. They looked after my house beautifully and the place was immaculate on my return. My Staffy was also well looked after. He is a strong (and sometimes strong-willed dog) and they had no trouble handling him, walking him, and giving him regular medication. Bob and Lyn were great communicators both before the sit - keeping me up to date with their travels - and during the sit - sending me updates and photos of my dog. I ... MORE
CATRIONA (Tea Gardens, NSW, May 2015 - 4 days)
No rating Bob looked after our house and our two dogs over Easter - a 'solo' gig for him. He quickly made friends with the dogs before we left and kept us informed all the time we were away about how things were going. We found Bob to be a very friendly and trustworthy person - we had no hesitation in entrusting our home and pets to his care. Our home wasvery clean and tidy on our return. I have no hesitation in recommending Bob to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy house sitter
BRONWYN (Old Reynella SA, Apr 2015 - 4 weeks)
No rating Bob and Lyn cared for our house and two dogs whilst we were overseas for a month. They send us regular updates on our dogs, including several pictures. When we returned, we found two healthy and very happy dogs, a spotless house and the garden and lawns well cared for. We are delighted with the care Bob and Lyn gave our property and pets. Lyn had to leave a week or so before we got home, so Bob had the job by himself at the end, and he did a great job. We would welcome them back ... MORE
ROB AND JULIE (Gawler, SA, Mar 2015)
No rating Hi ,Bob and Lyn were true to their word and looked after our place as if it were their own. Thank you for caring for the dogs and the chooks. Hopefully if you are back our way again we would have you sit for us. regards Ken and Ann
KEN (Denmark, WA, Mar 2015)
No rating Bob and Lyn cared for our home, and beloved Kelpies for 4+ weeks whilst we travelled overseas in January. We could not have found a more delightful couple if we had searched the entire country. Our home was so beautifully cared for, with long overdue chores taken on by them, way beyond the duties of a ‘house sitter’. Our two kelpies looked as well, if not better on our return as Bob exercised them, much to their delight. Bob and Lyn explained that they had the time for these things, unlike us ... MORE
MEGAN (Cookernup, WA, Jan 2015 - 1 week 2 days)
No rating Bob & Lyn looked after our house in December 2014. We came home late at night to find a spotlessly clean house, with fresh linen on the bed. Even the fridge was given a clean. After travelling, it was very refreshing to come home and be able to climb straight into bed. Our animals, 1 English Staffordshire dog, 2 very fussy Devon Rex cats, 1 quinea pig and 4 fish were all very happy and well looked after. The dog was walked every day and seemed to miss Bob & Lyn's long daily walks with him. ... MORE
