Clean, Caring, Kind

38, Anthropologist, Researcher

38, Project Manager

We are a professional couple that loves animals and is very experienced in caring for them. We are starting our fifth year on aussiehousesitters.com.au, and we can say that housesitting and petsitting have become part of our lifestyle, and we have been enjoying it throughout. We like the variety and getting to know different suburbs, new people (well, Lenka is an anthropologist), and their furry friends. It feels like constantly being on a journey while we can pursue our careers, studies and passions here in Melbourne- our home of the last ten years.

We have an extensive experience with both large and small dog breeds and cats, including old animals that require the administration of medication (incl. injections). We have also experienced many sits with multiple animals, including horses and chickens, at both large properties and small apartments.

One of our core values is to respect other living beings' environment and habitat. We will apply that principle when caring for your home and pet(s). We understand how important it is for owners to trust and allow someone unknown into their own well-manicured and valued personal space. We appreciate all of this and always prioritise cherishing others' homes and pets with the highest respect. We always leave your home clean and prepared, so you can only drop bags and unwind upon return. Clean, caring and kind, that's what we are.

We can provide 24/7 attention to your precious fur baby as we work mainly from home, so we can hang around, walk, cuddle and talk to your pet during the day. On weekends, we offer to take your doggies for our day outings in nature, on the beach or hanging out at home. Either way, we always respect the established routines that your pet is used to and follow the instructions you leave us with.

We are both practical and flexible and thus can handle any ad hoc situation. We have a proven record of being able to adjust to unpredictable situations (hello, Covid-19 era).

Please give us a call or message. We will be happy to mind your sanctuary.

Lenka and Jorge did such a wonderful job looking after our home, garden and fur babies. They are both very personable, generous and trustworthy. Most days we received photos and videos of our dog Cuba and cat Misty, this really helped us relax on our holiday. Our pets loved both of them and got lots of love and attention and it was obvious how much Lenka and Jorge loved our babies, which made us very happy. They also helped coordinate Nbn installation and tested the network for us. They did a ... MORE

Jorge house-sat for me as a solo. I found Jorge to be very professional and respectful but most importantly he beautifully cared for and interacted with my cat Kara. Kara was given a lot of attention and Jorge periodically sent photos and videos of her via WhatsApp. He looked after the house well and was in regular contact. I would happily have Jorge house sit again and recommend him to others.
 
FIONA (Carrum VIC, Aug 2023 - 2 weeks)
Our fur baby was very well looked after by Jorge and Lenka! We came home to a rested and happy cat who didn’t have any hesitation in jumping straight back in for cuddles when we arrived home. House was just as we’d left it which was great. Jorge and Lenka have exceptional communication and will keep in touch through your trip with just the right amount of photo updates. We loved meeting them, a warm couple with many interests and a strong base here in Melbourne. We would be happy to have them ... MORE
 
APRIL AND LEON (Fitzroy North VIC, Mar 2023 - 4 weeks)
Lenka and Jorge are friendly and experienced housesitters. They did a great job of looking after our cat, who is quite timid, over the 6 months stay - she seemed well loved and was calm and relaxed when we returned. Lenka and Jorge were particularly helpful when it came to some extra requests - they attended to some complicated deliveries for us and made themselves available for an official visit linked with the nearby bus garage. Our house was quite well cared for and ready for us to move back ... MORE
 
CAROL (Fitzroy North VIC, May 2022 - 6 months)
Lenka and Jorge were fantastic house sitters. Weezy was well looked after, got alot of attention and was very happy on our return. They looked after our house and were great at communication via whatsapp. We would gladly have them house sit again.
 
NICK (Bentleigh VIC, Mar 2022 - 3 weeks)
Lenka and Jorge were wonderful. We felt at ease from the moment we met them. They love and understand animals and our 2 pups adored them. They set up a WhatsApp group and filled it with photos of the boys playing and going on adventures. They were super communicative and fun to chat too. They maintained our routines and training. Our 7 month old puppy had learnt to high five by the time we got home. The house was immaculate and even though we got home early morning, we had a clean bed to fall ... MORE
 
TARA (Southbank VIC, Apr 2021 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Lenka and Jorge were better than we could have ever imagined!! This was our first ever time using Aussie House Sitters and we picked the best people for it. We asked them to take care of our house, as well as our two EXTREMELY needy/high maintenance dogs (that both needed 24/7 attention and medication daily) for the period of 2 weeks. They provided constant updates, with video's and pictures of them walking either in the park or beach everyday. It made us feel very comfortable knowing ... MORE
 
TAHLIA & SAM (Elwood VIC, Dec 2020 - 1 week 6 days)
Lenka and Jorge are great people with an obvious love of animals. We were away for three weeks and they had to look after our 2 cats, 3 parrots, 11 chickens and a flock of finches as well as maintaining our jungle of a yard. While we were away, there was easy communication through WhatsApp including several photos of one of our cats getting way too cosy. We did expect issues with our other cat but they seemed to handle her with ease. When we returned, all our animals were well, all our plants ... MORE
 
MARK (Flemington VIC, Sep 2020 - 3 weeks)
Lenka and Jorge looked after our dog and house for six months. It was originally for 4 weeks but then COVID-19 hit and we ended up staying a lot longer than expected. They were so accommodating and couldn't do enough for us, to help us out. They loved Molly and really spoilt her with lots of walks and drives in the car, lots of cuddles and love and affection. The house was spotless, and the lawn and garden was well looked after. They communicated every week with updates and lots of video calls. ... MORE
 
LINDA (St Helena VIC, Mar 2020 - 6 months)
Lenka and Jorge did an amazing job looking after our high maintenance beagles. Although we lost a few remotes due to our naughty youngest beagle that is just part of life with her, always be on alert! Lenka and Jorge had great communication, left the house spotless (which is remarkable considering our dyson vac broke the day before they came) and sent of lots of photos to let us know our babies were well taken care of. Would definitely recommend these guys to look after your animals, if ... MORE
 
CHLOE (Chadstone VIC, Feb 2020 - 1 week)
Lenka & Jorge are terrific house sitters. They cared for my dog and house diligently, looking after my dog as if she was their own. Folly just loved them and was so well cared for. She got lots of walks, hugs and beach time. She has missed them since they left. I received lots of photos while I was away. Everything was excellent including a warm welcome home. A very caring couple. Highly recommended .
 
RONIS (Sandringham VIC, Dec 2019 - 2 weeks)
Lenka and Jorge were excellent house sitters and, more importantly, loved by my older dog, Teah. She's missing them and sulking now that they are gone (my feelings aren't hurt at all, no!) They sent lots of great photos and videos while I was away and were very quick communicators on all the other pre-departure and post-arrival stuff. Recommended for sure. Thanks!
 
ANDREA (Abbotsford VIC, Oct 2019 - 2 months)
Lenka and Jorge took on the challenge of sitting my property and animals recently whilst I visited my daughter in UK. They were brave and I was pleased to say they came through perhaps not unscathed and now very experienced. It was a big job for them in very cold weather. All my animals 2 cats, 2 dogs and 2 horses were happy and well fed. Thanks guys. All the best for your future sits.
 
BRENDA (Research VIC, Aug 2019 - 1 month 1 week)
Lenka and Jorges proved to be an excellent choice to house/dog sit whilst we sojourned overseas. Our fur babies loved them and they were diligent with walking duties. The house was clean with our bed all made ready for us and doggy coats all freshly washed when we returned. Yes definitely use again if they are still house sitting in 2020
 
VALERIE (Bulleen VIC, Jun 2019 - 3 weeks)
Jorge and Lenka were great house sitters, looking after my place as the would their own. More importantly though, my dog just loved them and was super well cared for and got lots of walks, hugs and cuddles. I'm certain he missed them when they left! Thank you guys for being such good company for Rupert and Tom and for helping out at late notice

No rating Lenka and Josje are great house sitters and cat binders, thank you for allowing me the change to leave with no stress about home, much appreciated!
BETH (Blairgowrie VIC, Jul 2018 - 4 days)
No rating Lenka and Jorge are lovely people! Was happy to have them looking after the house and animals. Would recommend and have them again! Well done xx
JO (Belgrave VIC, Apr 2018 - 1 day)
Well Lenka and Jorge are a gorgeous couple. Instantly able to connect and trust them. Asked all the right questions, clearly capable and animal lovers too! Would not hesitate in having them take care of our house and fur babies again.
