Collin & Caterina (Kay)

53,

Hi

We are reliable & trustworthy & will take good care of your pets & your property which we enjoy doing.
we were Caretakers on a property for 10 yrs prior to commencing our travels & Coll had a Lawn mowing & handyman business before we started out on our travels which he still does do.
we dont mind doing longer house sit jobs longest house sit so far was a 4mth Sit.
We are happy to live in our motorhome unless house owner would prefer us to stay in their house during the house sit job to care for their indoor pets.
We like to meetup with potential Home owners if that suits them to arrange a day & time prior to a Sit.
Where possible when able to we can make sure we are at the House Owners place a day or 2 prior to owners leaving on their holiday if that would suit us all.
We dont have any animals of our own but enjoy taking care of Owners peoples pets.
Have been house sitting since September 2011 & enjoy taking care of owners pets
we have a 12metre motorhome as well as a car, would need a fairly level area for our bus
our 12metre is 8ft 8 wide & 3:5 mts Height
Hoping you will consider us to house sit for you
Cheers
Collin & Caterina ( Kay)

No rating Collin and Caterina house-sat for us for 13 weeks. If you are in need of someone to look after your pets (ours is a golden retriever who needed daily physio), then we would highly recommend Collin and Kay. They have lavished him with attention and exercised him so diligently that the vet has noted how much muscle he has gained...that's awesome. And we know he misses them them a lot already. These guys are just honest, down-to-earth people who will give constant updates and photos to keep you ... MORE
JILL & DAVE (Westbrook QLD, Jun 2018 - 4 months)
Coll and Kaye were lovely and looked after our home and pets so very well. They are really nice and very approachable. It was so easy. Nothing was a problem or an issue. They wrote us an email to tell us everything that happened and what they were up to each week. I highly recommend them.
 
JENNIFER (Beaudesert QLD QLD, Aug 2024 - 1 month 3 weeks)
Collin and Kay are great house sitters. Communication leading up to the sit was excellent and they came for a visit well before the sit to ensure that everyones expectations would be met. They are security conscious and love animals and we had no doubts when we departed on our holiday. During the sit updates were provided which was good for our peace of mind. On returning home everything was as expected with our animals and place well looked after. We would not hesitate to have Collin and Kay ... MORE
 
BEN (Toowoomba QLD, Jun 2024 - 4 weeks)
On our return after 4 months away we were amazed at how well our property was maintained and presented. Not only were our written instructions followed but even the brief verbally discussed matters were attended to. Collin and Kay were sensible in their notifying us of unusual events or seeking clarification on other matters and it would appear Collin is quite competent in household maintenance. We would welcome them back for any future sits.
 
JOHN (Highfields QLD QLD, Feb 2024 - 4 months)
Collin and Kay were fantastic sitters. They attended to every detail and communicated very often. I highly recommend them to care for your house, property and animals in the future.
 
JOYLEEN (Lake Clarendon QLD, Dec 2023 - 2 weeks 5 nights)
Colin and Kay were a perfect fit for my home. They loved my animals and my property like their own. Courteous and respectful I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.
 
KIM (Yangan QLD, Jan 2022 - 3 months)
Collin n Kay were extremely reliable, they looked after our home, lawns, gardens and pool maintenance also pet sit our cat. Recommended them as a house sitter and will ask for them again when we organise another trip.
 
DEBORAH (Laidley Heights QLD, Aug 2021 - 3 months)
Col and Kaye house sat us for a period of 6 weeks. We were very happy with way things were when we returned home. Our animals were well cared for and happy, the house was just as we left it and there communication was good throughout the time we were away. We have two very large boisterous dogs who can be a little hard to handle, but col and Kaye managed them admirably. We would not hesitate in having them sit for us again.
 
SIMONE (Woodhill QLD, Jun 2021 - 6 weeks)
Colin and Kay are very good at communicating before and during a sit. They looked after house, garden, chooks and cattle for a month and the regular text reports and photos while we were away really helped keep us in the loop. They are quite capable and resourceful and I have asked for them to sit for me again already. Highly recommended.
 
SANDRA (Placid Hills QLD, Feb 2021 - 4 weeks)
Collin & Kay house sat for us for 10 weeks. It was great to return home & find our house just as we had left it. They treated our 2 cats as their own & kept us updated with photos. They also took care of our mail, passing on anything that required our attention. Our trip was stress free knowing our house was being looked after. We will use them again if they are available when we next travel.
 
JENNY (WOODLANDS QLD, Jul 2020 - 10 weeks)
Col and Kay cared for our garden and surrounds beautifully for the four months we were away. They mowed , watered, edged- helped with the recycling project we had going and kept in brilliant communication with exactly what was happening ( from threatening bushfires, to rain and everything in between. They had their own accomodation so we're not caring for the house- but they left everything neat, clean and tidy. I was VERY HAPPY WITH their care and when we need to go on any further extended ...

LYNNE (Cabarlah QLD, Nov 2019 - 4 months)
I am over the moon with what a wonderful job they have done. I was really worried about leaving my very special mini foxy as she had a horrible start to life and is very attached to me but I was soon out at ease when I received lots of pictures from Kay showing me she was not stressing at all and had in fact attached herself to Kay. Kay and Col were always in contact with us letting us know what mail etc had arrived. Unfortunately they were here during the drought but they were both very water ... MORE
 
DEBBIE (Mothar Mountain QLD, Jul 2019 - 3 months)
Collin & Kay arranged to meet us and our animals prior to the commencement date of the housesit, it gave them a chance to familiarise themselves with the property and get acquainted with our pets. They arrived on the time and date agreed and were friendly and obliging, even though there was an added responsibility in the care of the dog. Whilst we were away they kept us fully informed on the welfare of the pets and of any minor issues that arose regarding the property. Collin went to the extra ... MORE

DAVID N RICHARD (hatton vale,Brisbane QLD, Feb 2019 - 1 week 5 days)
Great house sitters! They went above and beyond and kept in constant contact.
 
SARAH (Harrisville QLD, Jan 2019 - 2 weeks 3 days)
Coll and Kaye looked after my acreage property and animals - one horse, 3 dogs and 2 cats for 2 months. Great at keeping the communication going as we were not always in mobile range but always let me know how things were going and sent regular pics of the animals. When one of my cats was unfortunately bitten by a snake Coll advised me immediately, took the cat to the vet and even buried him for me at home which was a big ask but a real comfort when I wasn't at home to do it myself, ...

KERRY (Jimboomba QLD, Nov 2018 - 2 months 3 weeks)
No rating Col and Kay did a great job of house sitting for us while we were away. The animals and house were very well cared for and we received updates and pics of our pets that we enjoyed getting.
FRED & ALLISON (Derrymore QLD, May 2018 - 3 weeks)
No rating Collin and Caterrina (Kay) were fantastic housesitters. We received regular updates on how our pets were enjoying being spoilt. They took care of a few little problems that came up such as pool maintenance and a washing machine leak. We returned home to a clean house and very happy pets. Even our neighbors noticed and came and asked how they could book them. Thank you Collin and Kay for taking such good care of everything so that we could enjoy our holiday. Hope to have you sit for us again.
KERYN (Regency Downs QLD, Mar 2018 - 2 weeks 2 days)
No rating Collin and Kay were excellent house sitters, they sent daily updates while we were away and we returned to a tidy home and relaxed happy animals. They are very security conscious and gave us some good advice for while we were travelling.
