Edith and Gordon

71, RETIRED

66, RETIRED

We are a couple of varying backgrounds, both Australian citizens) , Edith (Dutch Indonesian background) now retired from the corporate world , enjoying her creative side with sewing/knitting/crochet/crafts and co managing their online businesses , (working from home) , and Gordon (Australian) (background as tennis coach , using those skills and his passion to develop and run an online kids tennis program to get young kids outside, active and off their digital pacifiers.

Edith also still manages for a couple of owners, furnished accommodation in Perth, online , getting bookings and coordinating cleaners , maintenance with our son on the ground in Perth if anything needs attention in person. We used to have 24 houses of our own providing furnished short term accommodation in the northern suburbs of Perth.

We have been house and pet sitting since 29/11/2016 and been booked back to back with forward bookings to 11/6/2021, in Australia and overseas, plus have previous experience as pet owners ourselves of dogs and cats .

When we commenced housepet sits, our two family Staffie crosses continued to live with our son. We commenced housepet sitting in Perth WA Australia , our hometown and have over the last 3 years completed numerous Perth / outside metropolitan Perth/WA housepet sits and in 2019 commenced interstate housepet sits (Canberra) and completed our first overseas housepet sit in Singapore.

We have embraced house and pet sitting as a change in lifestyle and as a forerunner to when we started travelling interstate/intrastate and overseas , whilst at the same time enjoying what we love, looking after and spending time with your pets and maintenance of your property.

We both work for ourselves in home based/internet businesses and thus, always around to give your furbabies lots of attention and love and pay games and walks.

Edith's nickname is 'The Dog Whisperer" .......probably added to by Edith's popular doggy carrot and peanut butter muffin treats she bakes whilst doing the housepet sit.

Edith also has her TAFE Certificate in Pet Grooming.

We have digital businesses which we can run from anywhere in the world . One of our businesses is short term furnished accommodation, so well experienced in the maintenance of properties both inside and outside which includes the maintenance of pools and sometimes large acreages/grounds/gardens and lawns and looking after bookings .

Our other business is an online DIY Kids Tennis Programs (for the 3-6 year old age groups, motor skill development) and getting children interested in physical activity and away from their digital pacifiers.

Following is a summary of our experience and our forward bookings of housepet sits to date.

Many of sits come from other sites, so other written references are on those sites but I can supply them to you if you want to see them. I can also give you tel nos to call any of these sits if you want as well.

We came over to the eastern states end of Jan 2020, from Perth, WA, for 5mths of housepet sitting but due to Covid-19 all our housepet sits from 23/3-30/6/2020 were cancelled as were our July 2020 to Jan 2021 (overseas, Panama, Sint Maartens (the Carribean) and China) housepet sits so decided to stay over east and stay in Qld to do housepet sits. Since we arrived in Qld mid 2020. we have been booked back to back until mid Aug 2023, doing sits from the Gold Coast to Cairns, including repeat sits.

Having our own car (no caravan) we have no issue with travelling between sits to get from one to another. Also being a couple, if any sits overlap, one of us commences the next sit and the other stays at the sit we are doing, until they get back home.

We are originally from Sydney and also have Edith's elderly father (93) living in Canberra so another reason for us to stay here in Qld, as it is far easier to be able to get to get to Canberra from Qld or any eastern state than from WA. In addition, when visiting Edith's father, it is usually only Edith that goes so that if any issues with Covid, etc Gordon is still available for the committed sits and this way we do let people down at the last minute.

We are a couple of varying backgrounds, both Australian citizens) , Edith (Dutch Indonesian background) now retired from the corporate world , enjoying her creative side with sewing/knitting/crochet/crafts and co managing their online internet business, Online DIY Kids Tennis Program for 3-6year olds, (working from home) , and Gordon (Australian) (background as tennis coach , using those skills and his passion to develop and run an online kids tennis program (3-6yr olds) to get young kids outside, active and off their digital pacifiers.

This online DIY Kids Tennis Programs (for the 3-6 year old age groups,) working primarily with child care centres. This is a training program online teaching parents, grandparents, older siblings, childcare educators etc by watching a 2 min video (there 40 altogether) to teach the 3-6yr child/children the basics of tennis. Each lesson has one tennis stroke and 2 gross motor skills. Can be done anywhere, even in your backyard.

Thus we work from home so around for the furbabies to give them attention , cuddles, play etc. and maintain the properties.

Edith also still manages for a couple of owners, furnished accommodation in Perth, online ,with our son on the ground in Perth if anything needs attention in person. We used to have 24 houses of our own providing furnished short term accommodation in the northern suburbs of Perth, so well experienced in maintenance of properties both inside and outside.

Having this experience, from time to time we manage any Air BnB's that any sit may have, such as in Feb-April this year, at Airlie Beach and were able to keep their super host status level, utilising our expertise in that area.

When we commenced housepet sits, our two family Staffie crosses went to live with our son. Sadly since then we have lost both our family pets.

We have embraced house and pet sitting as a change in lifestyle , travelling whilst at the same time enjoying what we love, looking after and spending time with your pets and maintenance of your property.

Edith's nickname is 'The Dog Whisperer" .......probably added to by Edith's popular doggy carrot and peanut butter muffin treats she bakes whilst doing the housepet sit. She has also added equine and cat treat recipes to that.

No rating Edith and Gordon were a delight! Our two dogs absolutely loved them, they took really good care of them and they were just as happy as we left them when we returned. They took great care of the house as well as the garden. We arrived back to a spotless home and they even left us a bottle of wine! Would definitely recommend them.
AARON (Karrinyup WA, Jan 2017 - 3 weeks)
I met Edith and Gordon in person as they were on a sit in our area. Edith looked after our house and 2 dogs for 3 nights. We were very pleased with her commitment to care of our property and pets. Very professional and communication was great. Edith sent messages regularly updating on their time together. Our young puppy is very energetic and Edith showed patience and understanding with her. We returned to a beautifully clean home and even a home cooked meal that was delicious. We ... MORE

PAUL (Craignish QLD, Sep 2022 - 2 days)
Thankyou for your wonderful review of my sit , looking after Cody and Chino, Look forward to the next time when Cody and Chino need looking after again.
We would highly recommend Edith and Gordon to house/pet sit. Communication was always prompt and were more than happy with pre arranging meet and greets so we and our boy were comfortable. Regular updates and photos while we were away and best yet some curry in the freezer!! Looking forward to planning our next trip knowing we have someone we know we can trust to look after our furbaby as he well as he deserves.
 
SAMANTHA (North Lakes QLD, Sep 2022 - 1 week)
Thankyou for your wonderful review of our sit and your recommendation, we loved looking after Gussy and our little "chats" and cuddles. Look forward to next time we can again look after him.
We could not be happier with Edith and Gordon. We have been using this website for years and they were hands down the best house sitters we have had. Edith dropped us and picked us up from the airport which was a huge help. Our lawn was mowed and my many house plants were well taken care of. Most of all though they took such great care of our little dog Jasper. They sent us plenty of updates on him and I'm sure he was sad to see them go. They honestly went above and beyond what was expected of ... MORE

Hi Kate, thanks for a great review and for the opportunity to look after the girls, Agnus and Edith, it was a real hoot having a furbaby to look after with my name. Looking forward to next time we get to look after them again. Edith and Gordon
Edith and Gordon kept us up to date daily with photos and videos of how our little dog was going. The communication was great. We came home to a delicious meal cooked by Edith. Thank you.

Thank you for the review and it was a pleasure looking after Pru and look forward to the next time we can take care of Pru.
Edith and Gordon took great care of our fur babies. Our dog was even washed when we returned, and he enjoyed lots of special doggy home cooked muffins! Gordon had mowed the lawn too which was a treat! Would definitely have them back again :)

Edith and Gordon are exceptional house sitters. Our boy Jax was recovering from surgery and they looked after him so well. Edith made him muffins and Gordon took him on short walks whist he was recovering! Updates on Jax were given and pics sent!! They even cooked us an Indonesian banquet when we got home :) Awesome sitters Thanks again guys

ELIZABETH (Vincent QLD, Oct 2021 - 6 weeks)
Edith and Gordon are nothing short of amazing!! My girls fell in love with them...Pippa takes a while to warm up to people, but within hours of leaving I was receiving pics of her snuggling with them...and we received pics daily from then, which I loved! Edith baked dog treats (my dogs where very happy) We came home to a house cleaner than when we left..all sheets and towels washed. Dinner was made for us (and was delicious) ...the dogs had freshly baked muffins waiting in the oven for ... MORE
 
LEAH (Yabulu QLD, Oct 2021 - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
We met Edith and Gordon in person when they called in while travelling past. Both parties were happy to lock in dates for a get away for us and they made themselves available for handover prior to our departure. Their care of Jetson and Meep, our dog and cat, was spot on we discerned. A big ask to keep up with garden watering requirements in hot, windy conditions...they did well. Our home was respected and all the usual duties of sitters performed to a high standard. Edith and Gordon are ... MORE

JAMES (Trinity Beach QLD, Sep 2021 - 14 days)
We enjoyed our time looking after Ilio, Czarina, Alexi and COVI and our stay there and we look forward to our future sits there in 2022.
Edith did a great job looking after my house and fur babies. She gave frequent updates and looked after them well. I would recommend Edith to anyone looking for a house sitter.
 
JENNIFER (Brinsmead QLD, Jul 2021 - 1 week 2 days)
Edith and Gordon where just brilliant. Looked after our two dogs so well and sent photos regularly. The house was clean and tidy on our return and Edith had kindly cooked us a meal to come home to. We are lucky to have them come back for a second sit in early May before they head north. I would thoroughly recommend them for further house sitting placements and I'm sure my dogs would too.

Edith & Gordon were absolutely fantastic. They took great care of our 3 fur babies and I would recommend them for any future house sits. Our babies fell in love with them.
 
DENISE (Upper Coomera QLD, Nov 2020)
Edith and Gordon looked after our house and 2 dogs for 5 weeks; we were very pleased with their commitment to care for our property and pets - even after a number of challenges. I cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism and and communication. My dogs were quite spoilt and I was regularly updated on their activities. After our last couple of experiences with housesitters, it was refreshing to find Edith and Gordon and we are happy to have them sit for us next year.
 
LYNELLE (Windaroo QLD, Oct 2020 - 11/10-16/11/2020)
It was our pleasure to have been given the opportunity to look after Lynelle and Barrie's beautiful home and of course entrusted with the care of their gorgoeus furbabies Peggy and Sadie. We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 week sit and look forward to our next sit there in March 2021, really miss those ... MORE
Edith and Gordon were great, we have pencilled them in for next year as we were so happy with them house sitting and pet minding for us. Our 3 dogs thoughly enjoyed their company and they looked after them really well and our 2 Canaries plus our 6 foot fish tank. Thanks again to you both.
 
TERESA (Parkinson QLD, Oct 2020 - 12 days)
Hi Teresa, thanks for the great review, it's always good to receive such feedback that we have looked after your furbabies, canaries and fish tank. The fact that you have asked us to sit again for you next year speaks for itself that you were happy with our sit.
Edith and Gordon were perfect house sitters . They left the house and grarden in wonderful order. Of special concern to us was their exemplary care of our spoilt and demanding cat . They communicted regularly with photos and dealt with a minor emergency ( cat fight ) and replaced his lost collar . Edith made us a wonderful Malasyian curry for our return and extra dish for another night , Wow !! We would throughly recommend them and hope the they may come again when we are permitted to ...

I think from the way Jasper continued to be spolit in your absense made you wonder if ... MORE
Edith & Gordon looked after our fur tribe (2 cats, 1 dog & 2 guinea pigs) whilst the family went away for a Spring holiday. I was so impressed with the communication leading up to our holiday as Edith & Gordon visited twice beforehand to meet the animals and gain insight into the animals feeding routine & what was required house wise. Whilst we were away we received regular updates on how the animals were & when we returned I think the animals were disappointed to see us as they had ... MORE
 
JODI (Oxley QLD, Sep 2020 - 21/9-26/9/2020)
Edith and Gordon are the loveliest couple who truly care for your pets and your home. Edith even went as far as baking special dog treats for our babies. The pets were treated like royalty and the house was immaculate when we got home. We even had a homemade lasagne waiting in the fridge so we didn't have to cook on our first night home. It was delicious too! I can't speak more highly of this kind hearted couple who go above and beyond to care for your pets and home. The cute messages and photo ... MORE
 
BROOKE (Nerang QLD, Sep 2020 - 1 week)
Thankyou for your great review of our housepet sit for you. We thoroughly enjoyed looking after Ruby, Zephyr, Dora and Buddha and staying at your house. Edith and Gordon
Edith & Doug extended and split their sit for me as I was still in hospital. They went to extraordinary lengths to help me out with transport to and from hospitals. Eternally grateful for their kindness and caring. Hoping to see them again in the future.
 
CHERYL (Nanango QLD, Aug 2020 - 1 week 5 days)

No rating I had complete confidence in leaving my two aged dogs and home to the care of Edith and Gordon while I was overseas. I came home to two very happy, well cared for, contented dogs and a spotless home and garden. I can highly recommend Edith and Gordon to look after your home and pets. There wasn't anything that was too much trouble, they are a wonderful couple.
