We are an active non smoking couple, honest and trustworthy, and have many references and endorsements attached to our profile plus police clearances for your peace of mind. We have been proud homeowners for over 30 years in Queensland, and have raised our family there. Over the years we have had numerous family pets including horses, goats, chooks, goldfish, cats and dogs, so we are very happy to look after your loved ones and your home and garden whilst you are away. We have been house sitting full time for over eight years now and find the variety of pets and challenges very satisfying. We supply all our own consumables so that the home owner does not have to provide anything, and is not inconvenienced in any way. We are keen to find out what challenges future sits send our way.
Cheers David & Patricia
David and Patricia house sat for me in Cairns January 2021 and provided great care to my home and animals... They took away all worry and were great at keeping in touch. We will definitely have them back again in the future, 5***
What a lovely holiday I had without a single worry about my home and pets thanks to David and Patricia! From their arrival and getting to know them over dinner to returning to three happy pets and a lovely clean home - the whole experience was wonderful. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for sitters for their home and pets. I got photo and email updates whilst away but honestly did not even need that I felt so comfortable being away. Thanks David and Patricia, I hope another of my ... MORE
It was really great to arrive home to a spotless house. David and Patricia were very obliging and extremely pleasant and we were happy to leave them in charge.did seem to have a few problems with messages between our telstra phone and their optus but it may have been due to us being in far western QLD. would definitely recommend them and have them house sit for us again
David n Patricia are lovely people and took the utmost care of our home and our dog Megs.
We will definitely use their services again.
Cheers

David and Patricia were excellent house sitters. They looked after my dog very well and the house was spotless on my return. The plants were all well attended and flourishing. I highly recommend them both and will certainly have them back to house sit/dog mind etc. In the future.
David and Pat were absolutely amazing for our House Sit. From the early communication we had decided with the wealth of experience to use David and Pat. We have been totally happy as during their stay our house encountered cyclonic conditions from Cyclone Niran with trees down across the neighbourhood and general mess made from the winds on the property. All was cleaned up prior to our arrival home. Our dog was well looked after and we have been so lucky to have great house sitters.
We feel very lucky to have had David and Patricia house and pet sit for us while we were away. They were very organised, communicated well throughout, and they did a brilliant job of taking care of our menagerie. It also felt like a real treat to come home to a beautifully clean and tidy house. We can't thank them enough, and would highly recommend them!
House was beautiful and clean when we can home and our dogs were very well looked after. Great communication through the sit also. Couldn't ask for better house sitters!
Pat and David cared for our pets and home like they were their own. We have a particularly skittish cat who took to Pat within a couple of hours, highly rare occurrence! They even sent us photos of our pets and kept in touch with text while we were away. AND the house was spotless! Thanks Pat and David..... We highly recommend you!!
David & Patricia, What a lovely couple and they cared for our 3 pets while we were away. The animals were looked after so well and they kept in contact advising us of progress during the sit. They treated our house as if it was their own and kept it immaculate. Thanks so much guys was a pleasure to meet you and looking forward to any future sits.
David and Patricia cared so well for our home and our beloved dog. Communication was excellent and we came home to a beautifully clean house and a very happy dog. Thank you so very much David & Patricia
As our first housesit experience, David and Pat were above and beyond our expectations. Everything from their communication to the little touches around the house gave off a very professional, experienced vibe. We were a little apprehensive leaving our 2 active dogs, but when we arrived home they were super happy and content which we know only comes from plenty of exercise. I had no expectations re house maintenance as the dogs were my main concern, but came home to the cleanest house and yard! ... MORE
David and Patricia Hughes are the best house sitters ever.
We where gobsmacked . The house looked better then when we left home. The cats are happy and healthy ..
we would highly recommend this beautiful couple and hope we can book them in our next trip.
Many thanks David and Patricia
What an awesome couple So happy with the sit they provided FIRST CLASS nothing was an issue and communication was excellent. 4 months is a long time to be away but I was able to do it knowing my fur babies were in great hands. When I came home the place was spotless and the garden etc were well maintained. Highly recommend David and Pat if you are looking for someone who you can leave your property, pets with and rest easy that they will be thoroughly looked after as well as you would do it ... MORE
David and Patricia have been excellent sitters. They are very friendly and approachable. From the beginning, the communication has been great, they kept in touch for months before their sit. Throughout our holiday, it was extremely easy to get in touch with them. They replied to our messages fast and updated us on the state of our puppy with photos, David and Patricia didn't use any of the staples we left in the cupboards, they brought all of their own stuff which was very discreet. Our ... MORE
David and Patricia were a delight from the moment we made contact with them. They kept in regular communication with us in the lead up to the house sit (even surprising us with a Christmas Card) and also throughout the stay - sending photos of our cat!!!
On our return, the house was clean and had been really well cared for; the garden and pot plants looked pretty great (although they were disappointed that the lawnmower man and gardener hadn't arrived in the week leading up to our return so ... MORE
I can only give this very genuine couple five stars for everything. We came back to an immaculate house, a happy cat and a well cared for garden.
We are looking forward to catching up with David and Patricia when they are next in our area.
David and Patricia house sat for us looking after our much loved and a little spoilt Beagles. David and Patricia took great care of both our home and our pets over a 3 week period. We would highly recommend them to anyone and we would gladly have them back to house sit again for us anytime.
David and Pat have just completed their fourth house sit for us. We were again extremely pleased with their care. On this occasion they looked after not only our old cat(administering tablets daily) but also our Groodle puppy.They were excellent with her, continued her obedience training, walks and improved her house training. They were happy to cook the dogs casserole and the cats fish! When the automatic pool timer failed David was able to fix it. The house was spotless and the garden well ... MORE
David and Patricia did a fantastic job, the house looks great and our pets are all happy and relaxed, we couldn't have had such a great time away if we wouldn't have had such great sitters. Communication has also been fantastic from the start to the end. Great experience, thanks David and Patricia.
David and Pat are a lovely couple who did an absolutely wonderful job looking after our house and pets. They were great with communication and checked in every so often leading up to the sit to confirm it was still on track. The house was spotlessly clean upon our return and the pets super happy with them. I would recommend them for future sits and we have already organised for them to sit for us again in 2020.
Hi All
I am very happy to write this reference for David and Patricia Hughes. They house sat my 12 year old German Shepherd, Sam, for a week while I was interstate. I wanted to meet David and Patricia before the sit and they were kind enough to come to my place before I left home to meet both myself and Sam. From the moment I met them I knew that Sam was going to be in good hands and that these were two very special people. Both David and Patricia took time to sit with Sam and get to ... MORE
David & Patricia were the very best of Housesitters. My girls (cats) Marra & Luna were so very relaxed on our return that I don't think they noticed we were gone.
Our house was immaculate, I'm ashamed to say, much more orderly clean and tidy than when I left.
I have no hesitation in recommending David & Patricia to care for your house and animals as they will get the very best of care. I cannot thank them enough for our worry free holiday.
David and Patricia were excellent house sitters. They met us before the sit, driving all the way from Canberra to the southern highlands to have coffee and a chat. We liked them straight away and felt very comfortable leaving them in our home. The house was spotless when we returned, inside and out. We rang them several times to pick up parcels for us or to open up mail we had been waiting for. They enjoyed exploring the local area and David looked after the pool. It was crystal clear on our ... MORE
We cannot thank Patricia and David enough for looking after our house and our dog who died shortly after our return to Australia. They were most caring and concerned and we feel so fortunate that they were with her. They looked after our grounds and house so well and they are truly the best house sitters we have had.
David and Patricia were the best house sitters we have ever had. They treated our Labradors and house as if it was their own. They walked the dogs every day and the dogs were quite sad for many days after we got home because they missed them so much!
When we returned the house was immaculate - they brought all their own linen, food, even toilet paper! They even mowed the lawns and attended to a plumbing and electrical problem which arose when we were away.
We also loved how they emailed us ... MORE
What a pleasure to have met David & Patricia. They looked after our house like they would a home. They look after our pets with care and love. They took time to meet with us before the housesitting dates, so we left on our holiday totally relaxed and confident everything would be okay. We came back to an immaculate house and very happy, healthy pets. Thank you David & Patricia - if you're ever in the area please pop by for a cuppa, we'd love to see you. Best wishes, Lorna & James
David and Patricia were two of the best house sitters we have had. Our home was immaculate when we returned, the garden well looked after, and our dog obviously fit and happy after his month with them. They were extremely helpful in fitting in with our change of return date.
I would not hesitate to recommend them as sitters and would be extremely happy to have them sit again.
David and Patricia took great care of my house and my 3 dogs for 4 days in January '17 while I was away. They were great with my dogs and left the house lovely and clean for me to return to. They were very nice people and very easy to get along with and nothing was a drama. I wouldn't hesitate to ask them to house sit for me again and certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any other house sit someone was contemplating them for.
My family and I had the great pleasure in meeting David and Patricia to housesit our beloved cat and dog. This was the first time I have left our pets with someone in six years, needless to say I was a bit anxious at the prospect. There was no need for any anxiety, David and Patricia came over twice before the allocated sit and made me feel completely at ease, I knew my pets would be in good hands. We went on an 8 day cruise whereby we had no WIFI but at no time did I feel any uncertainty. I ... MORE
Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
