Kara recently housesitted for us looking after our 2 boys/dogs while we has an overseas holiday.
It was our first experience and were very nervous and unsure, but she made the whole process very easy and make us feel at ease from day one.
We can't thank her enough, Kara kept in touch, sent pictures and the house and our boys were very well looked after we couldn't be happier
We recommend her very highly, Kara is a wonderful mature young lady.
We are very grateful to her. Thank you Kara.

This was our first time using a house/pet sitter and we could not have wished for a better experience. We highly recommend Kara and would gladly have them look after our home and pets again.

We had the pleasure of Kara & James sitting our house recently; caring for our chocolate Labrador CHOCCO, plus looking after our garden.
The house was very neat & tidy when we returned and the garage was tidier than when we left.
Chocco being a Labrador loves these following things.
Food - food - people - other dogs - exercise and having fun.
He was well fed.

He must have loved Kara & James because we expected him to go crazy when we returned. He didn't! He gave us a tail wag and wanted a pat, but otherwise very Ho Hum about our return.
He also had exercise and walks because they sent us photos of outings and swim in the creek. What more could a Lab want?
Their communication was excellent.
We were very happy and will always check their availability first in the future.

Kara and James recently looked after our home and pets for us. I would definitely have them back and also will recommend them to others. They communicated well before and during the sit. They took great care of our big dog with lots of lovely outings and exercise for him. They also provided great care for our fish, hermit crabs and chooks. The house was nice and tidy on our return. The pot plants were in good condition. Thanks Kara and James!
JENNY (Kiels Mountain QLD, Sep 2023 - 2 weeks 3 nights)
Kara and James were amazing! They looked after our energetic furballs so well, and left the house in immaculate condition. Kara communicated with us the whole time we were away and kept us in the loop with how everything was going. They are wonderful people and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable and responsible housesitters. Thank you both!
BENJAMIN (Forth TAS, Jul 2022 - 4 weeks)
Kara and James were our first experience of having housesitters look after our elderly cats and I would have them again in a heart beat. The house was cleaner than when we left, the cats were healthy and happy, and Kara kept in touch the whole time we were away. I would recommend them to anyone!
ALEXANDRA (Ulverstone TAS, May 2022 - 3 weeks)
We were extremely happy with Kara and James.
The love and care they gave to our pets was beyond what we expected and we came home to very happy pets and a lovely clean house.
We would certainly ask Kara and James to house sit again and highly recommend them for anyone needing this service.
MEG AND PETER (Sunnyside TAS, Jan 2022 - 1 month 2 weeks)
Kara and James took great care of our girl Marley. Updates and photos often. The house was amazing on our return. This couple are lovely and so easy to deal with. We have asked them to resit but unfortunately they are all booked out, such a popular couple. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
CHRISTINE (DEVONPORT TAS, Dec 2021 - 2 weeks)
Kara and James have done several house sits for me and I'm absolutely stoked with their responsiveness, consideration and brilliant care for my little home and my dog. He fell in love with them and thoroughly enjoyed their company and commitment to exercising him. I'd happily recommend them highly as terrific people and caring house sitters.
CLARE (Turners Beach TAS, Sep 2021 - 3 weeks)
Kara & James were amazing. Such a lovely couple. Our 3 dogs had such a great time while we were away. Outings to the beach, bush walks. Although we missed our dogs while we were away, it was made easier with the constant photos that they sent to us. We would highly recommend them and wish them all the best on their continuing travels
MARIA (Chittaway Bay NSW, Mar 2021 - 3 weeks)
Kara was such a delight to communicate with and she did an exceptional job looking after our house and two cats. Her and her partner left out house cleaner than what we left it for them! They also sent regular updates about our two furbabies and the cats where very relaxed when we came home.
A lovely couple - professional, clean and respectful. Woudl highly recommend to look after your house and animals while you are away!
LAURA (Hawthorne QLD, Nov 2020 - 1 week)
Kara and James house sat for us for one week. Kara was easy to communicate with and went above and beyond for us with picking up our run away dog (scary thunder storm) and burying our chicken that died while we were away. We came home to a very tidy place and recommend this lovely couple to anyone looking for future Housesitters
ANN (Camira QLD, Nov 2020 - 7 days)
We are so pleased to write a review for Karla and James. We were/are anxious parents as we have an elderly rescue and a newbie who has some issues but lovable and it was too be her first babysit. We had photos and updates and we can tell both are settled and following normal patterns. We came home to a spotless home and well adjusted puppies. We easily recommend but after we book them for our next break.
JIM AND SALLEE (Springfield Lakes QLD, Jul 2020 - 8 days)
Kara and James were wonderful sitters. Our dogs were so well looked after. They clearly cared deeply for our big labs.
They also went over and above, when unfortunately a pipe burst on their second night at the house. They found a new hose and repaired it themselves. Such a wonderful gesture.
We have no hesitation in recommending Kara and James for our next sit.
DUNCAN (Woodend QLD, Jun 2020 - 3 weeks)
We could highly recommend Kara, she did an amazing job looking after our very active Kelpie, taking him on outdoor adventures and walks and for caring for our elderly housebound dog Jet. It was so lovely to come home to a spotless clean and tidy home thank-you Kara!!

Kara and James were excellent sitters. For a couple of days after I came home the dogs were looking for them. A bit depressing for me but obviously they were well looked after, as was my house. I only wish Kara and James were free for my next holiday.
DEBRA (Ferny Grove QLD, Feb 2020 - 5 days)
Couldn't have asked for better people to look after our animals and house! Kara and James kept us regularly updated with photos/videos and just generally let us know that our animals were happy while we were away. Our animals were no easy task to take on too (a super energetic kelpieX, a beautiful but boisterous German Shepherd, one noisy and always hungry cat, and one other sheepish cat) but they were happy to take them on and get to know them! We also came home to an immaculate house ... MORECouldn't have asked for better people to look after our animals and house!

We can't speak highly enough - thankyou so much for making this whole process so easy and so comfortable.
BRIJETTE (Tarragindi QLD, Nov 2019 - 2 weeks 5 days)
Kara & James took such good care of our dog Jasper that I'm sure he was disappointed when we returned. The house was spotless and the garden was not only still alive, it had thrived. In short, you just couldn't ask for better house sitters than Kara & James.

Well all I can say is Wow Wow Wow. Kara and James were fantastic. Our two fur babies were cared for as if they were their own .
On our return the house was immaculate and Billy and Gigi looked as happy as ever with an extra spring in their step .
We were sent updates with pictures of the many outings that they took the dogs on .
Kara and James are a lovely couple and were only too happy to come and meet us and the fur babies before our holiday .

We cannot speak highly enough of Kara and James. It was so lovely to go away and not have to worry about anything. Great communication, fantastic cat minder and wonderful apartment sitters!!

We can't thank you guys enough! Our dogs loved you so much that they are depressed now that we are home. I think they are missing their walks and wrestling with you!
We booked Kara and James so we could comfortably leave on our first family holiday with our two-year-old son. After we advertised the sit, which was primarily for our two dogs, our older doggy Dodge got really sick from her cancer and we left feeling anxious! So much medication to give and extra care as well as the dreaded plan ... MOREWe can't thank you guys enough! Our dogs loved you so much that they are depressed now that we are home.

We booked Kara and James so we could comfortably leave on our first family holiday with our two-year-old son. After we advertised the sit, which was primarily for our two dogs, our older doggy Dodge got really sick from her cancer and we left feeling anxious! So much medication to give and extra care as well as the dreaded plan for if something should happen while we were away. I felt awful as it wasn't what these two signed up for! We met with Kara and explained the situation and she was really fine about it. I was relieved the moment we met her. Here's what I really liked about these guys:
- Kara insisted to meet us in person before the sit which gave us so much reassurance. She took the time to come to our home and meet us and put our minds at ease.
- Kara and James sent us updates about our pooches while we were away. It was lovely to hear about their adventures with the dogs and see some photos!
- Because we knew they'd taken on more than they signed up for, we left some cash in a card on their bed thanking them for the extra time they'd spend with our older dog. To our surprise, it was siting on the bench when we returned-they wouldn't accept it! I wish they would have!!!! They deserved it!
- Our house was spotless when we came home. As in cleaner than it was when we left. The floors were spotless, bathroom spotless, sheets and towels washed and hung up. It was so incredibly lovely to come home to this. It was like Mary Poppins had been.
Our dogs are so happy, thank you so very much for everything. I would not hesitate recommending these two to care for your pets, home, gardens! Just lovely people too.
Thank you- I hope you would consider sitting for us again.
P.S Chilli looks exceptionally fit! She's definitely been on lots of walks!
Love Amanda, Steve and Flynn

Would highly recommend Kara and James!
LISA (Enoggera QLD, Jun 2019 - 3 weeks)
Kara and James were fantastic! Good communication, neat and tidy, and the cats loved them! They sent me updates and pics on a regular basis and i felt that my cats were safe and loved at all times! Very reliable as i accepted their request to sit months before our holiday and from past experiences some sitters will confirm and 4 days before the sit make themselves unavailable :( Kara and James gave me no doubts, and i will have them on speed dial should we ever need a sitter again!
EDEN (Morningside QLD, Mar 2019 - 2 days)
Kara and James were amazing! It was out first time using this service and we were worried about leaving our fur babies and house with complete strangers. We met with Kara prior to the house sit so she could meet our animals and see if she was the right fit. We instantly had a great connection with her and so did our animals. Our cat who doesn't like strangers fell in love with James and was getting a lot of snuggles and pats and our puppy Frankie loved them. We received regular updates and pics ...

We ran into neighbours afterwards who advised they had seen our puppy being walked regularly. Would definitely use Kara and James again and recommend them to anyone!
