Caring and conscientious sitters

60s, Retired

60s, Retired

Steve and I are experienced house and pet sitters who enjoy house and pet sitting when we are not travelling.

We both love animals and miss having our on furry family so we take great pleasure in caring for other people's pets and getting our 'cuddling fix' at the same time.

We are now retired but Steve was in the police force before going into the media and I have always held senior positions as an Executive Assistant. We are extremely reliable, fit, active and conscientious.

We have always looked after the houses we have stayed in as if they are our own and the pets as if they are our family.

Thank you Philippa and Steve for your superb care and attention to our property, and the love and care you gave to old Sammy dog. You've made our first experience using house sitters a very fine example. Appears Sammy had a relaxing 'holiday ' with you guys too! Thanks also for leaving the property impeccable and a pleasure to return to. We wouldn't hesitate to invite you back - hopefully you'd be available!! Kindest regards

Phillipa and Steve were amazing! I can’t leave a better review. This was our first time having house sitters and I was admittedly anxious going into it. They are very experienced sitters and I did not once worry whilst on our trip. We have a large and at times high maintenance dog which did not seem to be a problem at all. Absolutely recommend!!
 
LILY (Moorooka QLD, Feb 2024 - 3 weeks)
Philippa and Steve did a great job looking after our old girl Missy. Came home to a very clean house and happy dog. They are very experienced house sitters and it makes the whole process very easy.
 
PAULINE (Windsor QLD, Jan 2024 - 1 week)
This was the first time we've used house sitters and it was wonderful having two veterans like Philippa and Steve as our introduction to the community. They've been doing this for years and are a very safe pair of hands. Our Frenchie Yoda has been skittish and lost weight after going to the kennel in the past, but he was happy and plump when we returned. We don't have much of a garden but our kangaroo paws also looked great. Highly recommended.
 
ANDREW (Balmoral QLD, Jun 2023 - 4 weeks)
Looked after my two cats one being a diebetic. Returned to clean house washed linen and towels. Highly recommend.
 
CHRISSY (Windsor QLD, Apr 2023 - 1 week)
Philippa and Steve looked after our house as if it were there own. We arrived home to find everything spotless and immaculate. Our garden, fish pond and wild birds were the priority and we were impressed with all that was done. We met with them before the sit and felt very comfortable leaving our home in their care. While we were away we felt relaxed and enjoyed our holiday as we felt confident with our choice of housesitters. Communication with them was always excellent. We would absolutely ... MORE
 
JENNY (Bribie Island QLD, Mar 2023 - 11 days)
I highly recommend Phillipa and Steve. They looked after my puppy and birds with no problems. Everything was immaculate on my return
 
KAREN (Holland Park West QLD, Feb 2023 - 8 days)
I would not hesitate to recommend Philippa and Steve to look after your pets and house. Our house was looking great when we returned home and our two cats were very relaxed and calm
 
JACKY (Thornlands QLD, Jan 2023 - 14 days)
What a wonderful surprise it was to come home to an immaculately clean house with even the oven cleaned! Our dog was very well cared for and everything with Phillipa was so easy
 
ROSIE (New Farm QLD, Jan 2022 - 12 days)
The best sitters we've ever had! Not only did they really come through for us in a pinch, they went above and beyond when it came to caring for our boy Shady and looking after our house. Absolutely recommend, these guys are superstar sitters. :D
 
MICHELLE (Bonogin QLD, Dec 2021 - 3 days)
Phillipa did a wonderful job of looking after our Burmese cat. She updated me with regular photos of him. The house was spotless when we came home. I would be privileged to have her house sit for me again.
 
EMMA (Balmoral Brisbane QLD, Dec 2021 - 5 days)
Thank you Enma. We would love to sit again anytime. You have a lovely home and Hugo is an absolute delight.
Philippa and Steve did such a wonderful job of looking after our house and pets (a puppy, cat and guinea pigs) while we were away for a week. They were so friendly and pleasant to deal with and followed all the instructions we left. We came home to happy pets and a super clean and tidy house, they even cleaned the pool and mowed the lawn. Such a lovely couple, we would highly recommend.
 
EMMA (Hawthorne, Brisbane QLD, Dec 2021 - 7 days)
We can thoroughly recommend Phillipa and Steve as house sitters. They took excellent care of our home, pool and large German Shepherd for 2 weeks in Feb 2022 while we were away. They also surprised us by sending photos of them taking our dog for a walk and a swim. It was lovely to arrive home and find all was well and nothing to do. We wouldn't hesitate in having them house sit for us again!!
 
GRAHAM (Alderley QLD, Oct 2021 - 2 weeks)
Would nor recommend for long term sit.
 
BEV (Victoria Point QLD, Oct 2021 - 2 months)
To say we are shocked by this rating from Bev & Des is an understatement. We left a clean, tidy, undamaged house waiting for them to come home to with not a thing out of place. Washing done, lawns mowed and whipper snipped. Their fish healthy, pond clean. We communicated very regularly especially ... MORE
Steve & Philippa did a wonderful job minding our home and 2 Cavoodles for 2 weeks last month. They also did another 4 day sit this weekend. They sent us photos of the dogs and updates regularly and took them for walks. Steve and Philippa are very reliable and left our house spotlessly clean. We highly recommend them. Thank you both very much. Regards, Derek & Lenore
 
DEREK (Boronia Heights QLD, Sep 2021 - 1 week 6 days)
We were extremely happy with Philippe and Steve, they cared for an looked after our 2 pups so well. Highly recommended couple. The house was immaculate to arrive home to and both Ebony and Amber happy pups.
 
CHRISTIE (Clontarf QLD, Sep 2021 - 1 week 4 days)
Many thanks to our wonderful house sitters, Philippa and Steve. As soon as we met them we knew our home would be well looked after for our 2 week holiday. They were definitely amazing; keeping in touch, watering the plants and feeding the birds. When they left the house was totally spotless. I can absolutely recommend these friendly and competent house sitters. Thank you Philippa and Steve.
 
BARBARA (Burbank QLD, Jul 2021 - 2 weeks)
Philippa and Steve were amazing, our scheduled house/dog sitter had to cancel because of the COVID-19 lockdown and they stepped in at one day's notice. They sent us some lovely photos of the dogs and we returned to a spotless house and two very happy dogs. We would not hesitate to have them back for our next trip if they are available.
 
ELKA (Ferny Grove QLD, Jul 2021 - 10 days)
We can't rate Phillipa and Steve highly enough. They are lovely people who looked after our home and dog extremely well and communicated with us effectively. We would highly recommend them as trustworthy and accommodating house-sitters.
 
TONI (The Gap QLD, Jun 2021 - 2 weeks)
Phillipa and Steve were great housesitters, they treated our home like it was their own, and looked after our dog Buster. He was happy and content on our return. Our house was spotless. We would have no hesitation in recommending Phillipa and Steve.
 
JUDY (Raby bay cleveland QLD, May 2021 - 3-1/2 weeks)
We were hugely fortunate to have Philippa and Steve housesit for us. They are efficient, respectful, sincere, lovely couple who took wonderful care of our house and our dog.. The house was left spotless and our dog loved them. I would highly recommend them and wish them the very best for the future.
 
JACK (Wooloowin QLD, Jan 2021 - 6 days)
Philippa and Steve were AMAZING!! They went above and beyond our expectations. We were looking for someone to come and take care of our babies (Cocker Spaniel and a cockatiel) in their home. We just wanted them loved, fed and Diesel's 2 x a day walks. But they also took Diesel to the beach, markets and shopping. He was so happy having a little holiday of his own while we were enjoying ours. We also got regular photo updates every couple of days and they watched out for any behavioural ... MORE
 
KERRY (Morningside QLD, Nov 2020 - 11 nights)
OMG!! Just amazing, everything. Our pets were loved and cared for so beautifully, we got updates and photos of them, our house was spotless when we got home which just made it so lovely when we got home. We are so lucky and grateful we found Phillipa and Steve at such late notice before we went away, we cannot thank the both of you enough. ❤️❤️
 
LUCY (North lakes QLD, Nov 2020 - 5 days)
Philippa and Steve were excellent house sitters. They looked after our garden and house beautifully and our cat seemed very content with them. They kept in touch regularly even sending a couple of photos of our "Tiger"and we felt very comfortable with them looking after our home
 
VANESSA (Forest Lake QLD, Oct 2020 - 1 month)
Thank you Phillipa and Steve for looking after our fur babies while we were away. Both our dog and cats were extremely well looked after, Missy the dog enjoyed lots of walks and our cats Ed and Piper enjoyed lots of attention too! We received daily photos updates, which meant we could just spend time relaxing on holiday knowing that our house and animals were in very cap[able hands. The house was left spotless. We will be absolutely be booking Phillipa and Steve for our next holiday break. ... MORE
 
JOANNE (Upper Kedron QLD, Sep 2020 - 1 week)
These guys are fantastic. My little dog Ruby has never had so much fun and adventure, and the apartment was spotless when we arrived home. They even cleaned my filthy oven!!! We were sent regular updates, and they completed another two day sit for us the next week with only two days notice. Very friendly and easy to deal with.
 
KIMBERLEY (Toowong QLD, Sep 2020 - 5 nights then 2 nights)

We came home to Happy pets , very clean house & even our lawns mowed . I can not speak more highly of this couple & give them 10/10 & highly recommend them to anyone looking to have there house & Animals looked after , there is no question who we would have when we next go away Craig & Cheryl
 
CHERYL (Thornlands QLD, Feb 2020 - 3 weeks)
We had an amazing experience with Philippa and Steve. It was our first time putting our house up for a housesit and Philippa was so lovely with answering all my questions and putting my mind at ease. They did a fantastic job and Frankie was so well looked after and we got cute photo updates along the way. We came home to an absolutely spotless house, I feel they cleaned it better than I had! They honestly went above and beyond and I couldn't recommend them highly enough!!
 
GABRIELLE (Ferny Grove QLD, Feb 2020 - 1 week 5 days)
Philippa & Steve took wonderful care of our home, garden and two cats - the cats were settled and contented when we returned home :)
 
JANE (Milton QLD, Jan 2020 - 2 weeks)
Thankyou Phillipa & Steve! This being our first house sit we were not sure what to expect. We couldn't have been happier with the result. After 6 weeks away we returned to an immaculately kept house & gardens - & a very happy dog ( Zeb is 18months old Springer spaniel & can be quite challenging at times) You two must have worked some magic as he is actually calmer & more settled than when we left him! Thanks also for the regular updates on the house /garden & Zeb , it was great to see he was ... MORE
 
SHARON & MIKE (Bulimba QLD, Dec 2019 - 6weeks)
Phillipa & Steve were a dream come true for our first ever house sit. Naturally we were a bit hesitant but it was the best thing ever to keep our gardens afloat during the heat & wonderful care of our pooch. I would recommend these gorgeous people to anyone looking for sitters,
 
LYNELLE (Murrumba Downs QLD, Dec 2019 - 12 days)
Phillipa & Steve were amazing. We have 5 pets - 2 large dogs, 2 cats and a snake. The cats and dogs need a fair amount of attention and love, particularly one cat who needs more attention. They communicated while I was away and left the house in an amazing state. All the animals were happy and stress free upon my return. Thank you so much Phillipa & Steve.
 
LIZZI (Tingalpa QLD, Nov 2019 - 5 days)
Philippa and Steve were such a lovely couple to have house sit for us. Upon returning home our house and garden were in great condition and our cat Puddins was well cared for. Philippa sent me photos of Puds whilst away which was great to see her relaxed. Garden was watered and looking great, sheets/towels washed and hung on the line. We weren't able to meet in person before the sit, instead communicated on FaceTime and Whtsapp, which worked well. We were so lucky to have them sit for us ... MORE
 
MARCELLE (Kedron QLD, Nov 2019 - 3 days)
We were so happy with Philippa and her husband. This was our first experience having house sitters mind our home and our dogs and we were so impressed to come home to very happy doggies and a clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend and hope they can house sit again for us one day. Philippa was a great communicator keeping in touch the entire time and sending photos of the dogs as well which gave us peace of mind that they were well cared for and safe.
