Couldn’t have asked for better people to look after our house and doggo (French bulldog). Helen and John went above and beyond with communicating both before and during the sit and we came back to a clean house and a few new plants in the garden too. It was clear Elton (the dog) had been doted on the whole time as he was sad to see them go. I would highly recommend Helen and John and hope they come by Perth again in the future 😊 Thanks again!!!

This was the first time we have had our home and pets house sat. We feel so fortunate we had Helen and Jon. Our animals were very well looked after and loved. Our home was left immaculate as were our yard/gardens. We were left with many surprises including a lovely dinner and treats, gardens weeded and beautiful flowers planted, fences and taps repaired, a new outdoor food prop bench and the list goes on. We could not believe it. Most importantly though, Helen and John bonded so well with our ... MORE
 
JANE AND JON (Belli Park QLD, Aug 2023 - 2 weeks)
Helen and John were excellent house sitters, they personally loved our animals as though they were their own. They worked in our garden and built a compost bin which was amazing. Helen sent daily updates of our pets and our pets did not want Helen and John to leave. Our home was clean and our plants watered and weeded. I cannot recommend this wonderful couple enough, we would definitely have them back and keep them as friends of the family forever.

My first sitters experience amazingly. Due to my health they stayed extra week. John & Helen happily arrived a day early they both kept communicating daily via phone and messages with pics of all my many animals looking so happy and content. My horse was even treated been silly slipping in wet and leg swelling up, required clay poltice and anti inflammatory. Dogs were in heaven meds given daily walks in bush, even birds were happy came home to 2 babies, a chicken was ill they isolated and ... MORE

Imagine leaving in a rush and returning to happy animals, little jobs done everywhere and a major yard clean-up! Would have them back anytime and the cats still look for them.

So, everything you read about Helen and John is true. They are a lovely couple, who along with their border collie Scotty did a marvellous job farm sitting for us. They are generous with their time and care of your property as well as adding little gems such as kennel signs for our 4 border collies and pickled squid, tomato meat sauce and yummy cakes to come home to. Their communication with us while we were away was just spot on, so nice to receive little updates on our 100 plus mob of ewes. ... MORE

Thanking you for the review
I applied to adopt John & Helen, but apparently I'm too old (so are they ). Then I thought I'd weld the gates shut so they couldn't leave, but as John had fixed every drunken angled gate there was on the property, I couldn't see him having a problem cutting the weld and escaping anyway. Then I thought I could create a flood to hem them in as I now have a working windmill, new cutoff valves and a much better water source. Maybe emotional blackmail from our howling Labrador as they drove down ... MORE

Thank YOU for trusting us with your animals and property! We had the best time pottering away on projects and love making a difference where we can. You are such a beautiful couple, keep up your positivity and humour!!!!!
Helen and John did a recent house sit for me looking after one of my properties which was my old horse riding stables which included 2 horses. The couple were absolutely fabulous. I cannot praise them enough. Every time I went out there I said wow, in fact I have never said wow more times in a month in my life ever before. Plus they were fabulous company and Helen bakes scrummy cakes which she supplied with welcoming cuppas every time I turned up. Not only was I and my property got spoilt ... MORE

Thank you Sharon, we were sad to leave, look forward to catching up in the future�
Lovely couple, really enjoyed meeting them .... would have no hesitation handing the keys over to this couple should I need a House sit in the future. Their dogs were very quiet and well behaved and it was a wonderful experience all round. The house was left extremely clean and tidy. A very positive experience with this couple and their companions.

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
