Clean, respectful and responsible housesitters

39, Stay at home mum

I am a 39year old single mother to a 11 year old girl. My daughter is calm and easy going as am I.
We were housesitting full time from end of August 2018 until befinning of Covid. We took a break for 2 years and are back at it again. We've had the most wonderful pets to look after. We are crazy for animals but as we are also need to travel to see family overseas at least once a year which means commiting to a pet of our own is not an option.

I have chosen to homeschool my daughter Gerte, therefore we can spend more time home if it's what you or your pets need. We love travelling but also to stay in, time in nature and animals.

We are extra clean and tidy, non smoking, non drinking, respectful towards other peoples belongings, mature and responsible.

We have many housesitting references.

In August 2023 we moved to Brisbane where we continue to housesit full time.

Please feel free to contact us.

It was an absolute pleasure to have Maarja & Gerte stay in our home and look after our pets. We returned to a wonderfully tidy and clean home with two very contented cats 🐈‍⬛. We would welcome them back into our home at any time in the future.

Ruby and Polly were beautifully cared for! Maarje was a great communicator and send me regular updates and photos. A very positive experience and I am happy to recommend.
 
LISA (Cairns City QLD, Feb 2024 - 1 week 4 nights)
Wow! Amazing! Thanks to Maarja and Gerte for looking after my home and Zenny so very well! It was so nice to walk into a lovely clean, tidy home. Zenny is missing them and keeps looking out as if waiting for them to come home! I cannot fault anything about their house sit and very highly recommend them.

Thank you Jacky for this lovely review. We miss Zenny too!
I was delighted with the care that Maarja provided for my two cocker spaniel dogs while I was on holiday. The greedy one managed to eat half a carton of butter, but Maarja very capably got him off to the vets with full recovery (but probably no lesson learned by the dog). Her communication was great, and I returned to an immaculate house and two dogs expecting a higher standard of care from me after their experience with Maarja.
 
VIVIEN (Marcus Beach QLD, Dec 2023 - 2 weeks 4 nights)
Maarja and her daughter did a great job whilst in our home. We arrived home to a very happy and healthy dog and cat. The home was spotless. Would definitely recommend her to all.
 
PAULA (Clontarf QLD, Aug 2023 - 2 weeks 1 night)
Absolutely recommend Maarja and Gerte as housesitters. They were perfect with our cat and dog, kept us updated on how they were doing, and were all around wonderful guests. They were here during some heavy winds and took great care of the house and garden. Gerte is very respectful of the animals and was perfect with Kodi and Rosie, despite them not being around kids very often. Maarja is a great communicator and the house was very clean when we returned. We would be very happy to have them ... MORE

Thank you Megan and Peter for these kind words. Kodi and Rosie are sooo precious😍
Having met Maarja and her daughter Gerte before they came to look after our pets, I was very confident that they would take special care of our dog, who must have been completely bewildered about the whole disappearance of his mum and dad. Maarja gave me very honest and caring feedback during our holiday, including pictures of our dog, obviously blissfully happy at the park, or cuddled up with Gerte. It was very reassuring to know that they were caring for our pets, and we came home to a very ... MORE

SANDRA (Piara Waters WA, Mar 2023 - 7 days)
Thank you Sandra for this encouraging review!
Thank you so much Maarja, Gerte and Kaja for taking such good care of our fur baby Zac and our home. It was such a pleasure to come home and find everything so well cared for. We hope to see you again in the future. Best wishes to you all. Colleen & Rob
 
COLLEEN & ROB (Spearwood WA, Feb 2023 - 6 days)
We were extremely happy with Maarja housesitting our property and our adventurous cat, Mika. Maarja delivered over and above on everything we asked her to do and is a genuine animal lover! We highly recommend Maarja (and her daughter) to others looking for a potential house and pet sitter!
 
KRISTINA (Balcatta WA, Jan 2023 - 1 month)
Maarja and family did a fantastic job looking after our menagerie of pets and wildlife while we were away. Watering a big variety of pot plants and other plants went without any problems. Would gladly have them back and recommend them for any housesitting.
 
KEHAN (Roleystone WA, Jan 2020 - 4 days)
Maarja and family looked after my home and two dogs in January. Communication was very good, with photo updates and I felt really happy with the level of care and respect taken in looking after my dogs, house and garden. I would happily recommend them.
 
KIRSTY (Bayswater WA, Dec 2019 - 1 week 4 days)
Maarja, Gerte and Kirill looked after our home and cats for 2 weeks over the Christmas period. Their communication before and during the stay was excellent and they filled us with confidence before we left. Upon our return we found the house to be in immaculate condition and our two cats content and calm. Our cats are still checking the spare room to see if they have returned! We can highly recommend them if others have need of a reliable house sitting family.
 
LUCAS (Nollamara WA, Dec 2019 - 1 week 6 days)
Maarja and Kirill were great housesitters. Everything was well looked after and they were very friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend them to anyone.
 
FRANCOIS AND ANNIE (Kelmscott WA, Apr 2019 - 3 weeks)
Great communication and I can highly recommend Maarja and family for house sitting
 
SHIRENE (Waikiki WA, Apr 2019 - 2 weeks 3 days)
Maarja, Kirill and their daughter looked after our house and cat perfectly. Everything was clean and tidy when we returned and communication was easy. We got updates and some photos while we were away. Would highly recommend.
 
LOIS (Waikiki WA, Feb 2019 - 2 weeks 6 days)
It was a pleasure to have my sitters take care of my home while I was away. I could relax knowing everything was being taken care of. Thank you so much!!!!!
 
NOELINE (Baldivis WA, Jan 2019 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Maarja, Gerte and Kirill did a fabulous job of taking care of our house, garden and chooks whilst we were on holidays. They were good communicators during before and after. We would definitely have them look after our house again.
