Current House-sit Application in Aus

Hi we are a fit, non-smoking and active Retired Grey Nomad couple who travelled slowly around Australia house-sitting from 2017 and then in NZ since April 2019. We currently have completed 32 house-sits in Australia and NZ.
In NZ we completed an 11 month house-sit tour on both islands including sits in Nelson, Dargaville, Northland, One Tree Point, Tokoroa, and Katikati and Kakanui before we had to go back to Australia at the end of March 2020 due to Covid19.
After completing our isolation we went back to house-sitting around Australia.
We completed sits in Mackay, Nebo Bribie Island Maleny and Wynnum in QLD in 2021. We've had a break from housesitting after buying a house on the Fraser Coast but we are getting back on to a housesitting tour of North QLD from May this year(2023)
We are massive pet lovers and greatly miss having our own pets while we travel and would love to look after yours.
We have sat many houses and units as well as hobby farms with multiple and varied animals and in fact, lived for many years on an acreage north of Brisbane, (Morayfield), so we can handle hobby farm properties as well.
We have sat many houses with large and small dogs, cats, cows, sheep, ducks, chickens, fish, ducks, alpacas, donkeys, horses, goats, guinea pigs, and have had our own cattle dogs, staffies, labradoodles, labradors, alsatians and several rottweilers.
I'm a retired Registered Builder / Construction Manager in QLD, and a very practical handyman capable of almost any hands-on maintenance.
I'm also a very keen amateur photographer and we like to stay in areas longer than normal Nomads, so I can search out all the good photo opportunities. We can provide links if you would like to see some photos of our travels & house sits.
We travel in Australia in a single cab Toyota utility with a camper on the back which only requires a standard size car park, but it is quite tall. See the photo in our profile. We may be able to store the vehicle elsewhere if that was required.
If you give us the opportunity to look after your property and pets, I'm sure you will not be disappointed.
Cheers
Brian Dean

Brian and Judy are highly regarded sitters. They did a 4 week sit For us while we went on a stress free holiday in April. I was very concerned about my little Old Bichon x who can be quite distressed when I'm not around for a few days. She has anxiety is very blind and going deaf. She also has injections once a month and It was no trouble for them to take her to the vet for her injection When she was due. Our fur babies were very well cared for that's for sure! They left the apartment ... MORE
 
WENDY (Woody Point QLD, Mar 2019 - 3 weeks)
These guys were fabulous. They settled in like it was their own home. From the photos the dogs loved them equally as much as they loved the dogs. I would certainly recommend them for a housesit.
 
KELVIN AND SHIRLEY (West Mackay, QLD 4740 QLD, Aug 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
Brian and Judy looked after our home and dog whilst we were absent during May. Upon our return we found the house to be clean and tidy and Cooper (Shetland sheepdog) to be well groomed. The yard had been cared for.
 
DAVID & KERRI (Yeppoon QLD, May 2023 - 4 weeks)
Brian and Judy house sat for a week. Communication was great. Very friendly and trustworthy. We arrived home to a lovely clean house.
 
DEBBIE (Clear Mountain QLD, Feb 2021 - one week)
Our first time using Aussie HouseSitters and couldn't be happier with the service and Brian & Judy. Communication from the start was friendly and prompt. Our Furr-baby was loved, house was cleaner when we got home than when we left even the oven sparkled, gardens were well kept and communication was great. A very positive experience and we highly recommend Brian & Judy. Thanks so much
 
TREENA & SIMON (Wynnum West QLD, Dec 2020 - 4 weeks)
Brian and Judy house sat for us for 4 weeks. Everything was well looked after. We had a problem with our septic system and Brian was in touch straight away, we organised trades people to go out, Brian did a great job in overseeing and keeping us in the loop.We came home to a clean and tidy home, jam and fudge had been made and left in fridge. We would have them back to sit again. Thank you Brian and Judy and for the great poem.Judy we loved it.
 
JENNIFER (Maleny QLD, Nov 2020 - 04/11/2020 to 01/12/2020)
Brian and Judy are a lovely couple. I highly recommend them both to take care of your home and pets. They treated my dog and cat like royalty and are trustworthy, responsible and respectful. Brian and Judy are excellent house sitters.

Thank you for your stay
 
SHARON AND STAN (Katikati , Dec 2019 - 5 1\2 weeks) From Kiwi House Sitters
Brian and Judy were fantastic housesitters, they looked after our house and animals so well we are not sure they were glad to have us back home! Our animals mean the world to us and to have them so well cared for really took a load off our minds while we were on holiday. Brian kept us updated with beautiful photos he had taken of the pets which we really appreciated and have framed in our house already! His photography is stunning - search Brian Dean Photography on Facebook. Judy made us lemon ... MORE
 
REBECCA (Tokoroa North Island, Nov 2019 - 4 weeks) From Kiwi House Sitters
Brian and Judy took great care of our 2 dogs, cat and house for 14 days October 2019. Lovely people, caring, trustworthy, great communicators and most important to us, dog and cat lovers. We returned home to 3 happy animals, one being a 4 month old puppy which they carried on the training for us. Lawns were mowed, garden watered, house tidy and jars of chilli jam left for us. We couldn't have asked for better. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for ... MORE
 
ANGELA (One Tree Point North Island, Oct 2019 - 2 weeks 2 days) From Kiwi House Sitters
Thank you Angela for your lovely review. We have arrived safely in Auckland and we are already suffering pet withdrawal. Thanks again for the lovely house-sit. Cheers, Brian & Judy.
Brian and Judy were fantastic house and dog sitters. They took the "girls" for walks every day, and gave them great care, thereby allowing me a worry-free time away from home. The house was clean and tidy when I returned and Judy organised the kitchen which made my return easy and comfortable. Many thanks! I can highly recommend them without reservation whatsoever.
 
DARWIN (Te Maire Beach North Island, Aug 2019 - 2.5 months) From Kiwi House Sitters
Thanks Darwin
This was our first house-sit experience and I don't think we could have struck it any luckier with our sitters Judy and Brian. We were away for over 3 months and as soon as we met them any nervousness was gone. It was lovely to see Facebook posts of our wee dog Dudley having a great time and any items we had to deal with were no problem with easy prompt communication when needed. We came home to a spotless house, happy dog and some home preserves courtesy of Judy. Brian and Judy are ... MORE
 
BEN (Nelson Central , Apr 2019 - 3 months) From Kiwi House Sitters
Thanks very much, Ben & Marcia for your lovely review, it will be very helpful for future applications.
Brian and Judy looked after our place very well. The animals didn't even miss us and the plants were all alive even thought there was no rain. Brian emailed me regularly to ease our mind. This meant we could have a worry free holiday. We would recommend them. Thanks Brian and Judy.
 
SHARON (Bullyard QLD, Feb 2019 - 3 weeks)
Great to have Brian and Judy sit for me, so great to return home and not have any thing to worry about. Thanks to you both
 
ROBYN (Grafton NSW, Jan 2019 - 2 weeks 5 days)
Most disappointing
 
DAVID (Launching Place VIC, Nov 2018 - 1 month 1 week)
No rating Everything was looked after superbly, dog was very happy, chickens kept laying, parrots all happy, came home to lovely organised pantry,fridge and freezer, can't promise they'll stay this way �, also some beautiful bottled preserves, and an added bonus of lovely photos, what treasures, excellent sitters
LISA (Dunalley TAS, Sep 2018 - 2 weeks 4 days)
No rating Judy and Brian were great housesitters. They took excellent care of our family dogs; Sasha and Suzie. They walked them every day, administered their daily medication and treated them affection. The house was spotless and Judy had washed the sheets and towels which was very helpful, Communication was very good and I found Judy and Brian to be very friendly obliging house sitters, I would not hesitate to recommend Judy and Brian to care for your beloved animals while you are on holidays.
COLLEEN (Mitchell Park SA, Aug 2018 - 2 weeks)
No rating Brian and Judy have house sit our 3 cats and our 'glass house' for 2 months. They have done a wonderful job, the cats were very happy, the house and sheds kept safe and additionally Brian made some amazing photographs while he was here. We can strongly recommend this couple for a house sit. I am happy to provide further information if required.
REGINA (Outside York WA, May 2018)
No rating It is always a bit of a worry when you go away and leave your pets behind. But our large dog Zara took to Brian immediately, and she was looked after very well the whole time. Brian and Judy also took great care of our house and were very respectful of our possessions. We would happily recommend them to anyone - but especially if you have a big dog that you love very much!
SUE (Halls Head WA, Apr 2018 - 2 weeks 1 day)
No rating Brian and Judy looked after our house and dog for five weeks while we travelled Australia. Their communications before, during and post the house sit were fantastic which gave us confidence that they would turn up and leave on the agreed dates (of course they did!). Our dog took to them both straight away so we were happy to leave her in their care. The house was lovely and clean and tidy when we returned and they had gone the extra mile by buying replacement household items such as light ... MORE
NEIL (Chidlow WA, Mar 2018 - 1 month 1 week)
No rating I can highly recommend Brian and Judy to look after both your home and pets! They house sat through cyclones, vicious lows and record rainfalls all within the timespan. Always kept me up to date on how things were going and went above and beyond with some animal husbandry, not to mention the pickling of garden goods and chainsawing of smashed trees and the list goes on! Can't say thankyou enough! And wish them all the best in their travels/adventures!
EMILY (Broome WA, Jan 2018 - 3 weeks)
No rating Brian and Judy are a delightful, considerate and responsible couple -they housesat for us for over a month while we travelled interstate. They cared for our home, our dogs, our chooks, and our garden throughout this time, somehow welcoming us back to a neat and tidy yard despite the TWO cyclones that whipped through our town while we were away! We are extremely grateful to Brian and Judy and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!! Thanks guys!!!
