Hi there, we are a mature, responsible, young-at-heart, quiet, non-smoking couple in our early 60's. We often take our off-road caravan on trips somewhere in Australia and also enjoy the added benefits of house-sitting. We're currently staying in the Sunshine Coast area of Queensland for an extended period.

We have cared for a variety of properties and animals, recently enjoying a different experience as relief caretakers on a 5000 acre cattle station near Mundubbera QLD.

We are competent and highly recommended house sitters since 2014, assuring you the complete safety of your home and pets and are comfortable living on suburban or rural properties. We love to care for all animals, except reptiles, and enjoy bushwalking, gardening, bird watching, reading & being creative.

We have outstanding references/reviews that reflect our competence. These are available to view on our profile.

We are efficient, clean and organised and take pride in your home, treating it and your much-loved pets/animals as our own. Being brought up on a farm, Cheryl has solid experience and a close understanding of dogs, cats, horses and a variety of farm animals. Generally working as an administrator, she has also worked in a small private zoo, handling many exotic animals.

Rob has always had pets and has a natural way with them - he's a bit of a dog whisperer. He has been in the horticulture/gardening industry for over 22 years, bringing his experience to your property. He is a keen surfer and he also loves to play the guitar, while Cheryl's interests include painting & drawing, and practising yoga. Most of all we are happy in our own company and love the peace and quiet.

We have been together for 16 years and make a great team. We consider the unique personalities and behaviours of different animals and enjoy the unconditional affection and stress-easing benefits of caring for furry, four-legged friends. Together we'll take care of your property and your furry family as our own.

We offer you:

reliable, effective, professional service

full pet care to your needs

home security & safety with confidence

mail/paper collection

home cleaning

refuse bins

mowing

pot plant care

lawn & garden care

dog exercising

pet grooming & entertaining

full animal care - large & small

We look forward to being there for you and consider it a privilege to look after your home and furry friends while you're away.

Best Regards
Rob and Cheryl

No rating Rob and Cheryl were brilliant house sitters. We were a bit nervous about it as this was our first time having long-term house sitters, however, Rob and Cheryl set our minds at ease from the first time they visited. They treated the dogs as if they were theirs and showed them lots of love and attention. The house was meticulous on our return and the 1 acre yard was well looked after. We would not hesitate to have Rob and Cheryl house sit for us again or recommend them to others.
RICHARD & ANNE (Yandina QLD, Apr 2017 - 4 weeks)
It was lovely to have Cheryl and Rob look after our dogs and fish and Nobby. Cheryl communicated frequently and sent photos. Walked Oscar and Rosie daily and even together which was a great feat. The house was left lovely and clean. Highly recommend them and would love them to come sit for us again.
 
SUE (Palmwoods QLD, Aug 2023 - 5 nights)
Rob and Cheryl were amazing. Our house was cleaner than when we left. The garden was immaculate and I think our dog got depressed post their departure. I would highly recommend Rob and Cheryl.

LEXY (Doonan QLD, Feb 2023 - 1 week 6 days)
Rob and Cheryl were great. They communicated well and sent updates of our fur family. We came home to a clean and tidy house and happy animals. My daughter lives in a cabin on the property and said they were absolutely lovely. Highly recommend this couple.
 
ANGELA (Mooloolah Valley QLD, Jan 2023 - 6 days)
Thanks guys, your place was great - so easy.
Cheryl and Rob looked after our home and pets for 6 weeks whilst we were overseas. They were amazing. Never have our pets been loved so much by other people! Whilst away we received regular pics and updates. On our return our pets looked so well. I don't think they even missed us that much! Our dog gets separation anxiety and we worry when we are away, but not this time - Hugo was doted on. And Tibby the cat too. We are on acreage and the garden and pool were well maintained. House was ... MORE
 
LEONIE (Doonan QLD, Dec 2022 - 1 month 2 weeks)
Thanks so much for the great review. We're delighted you're so happy. We had fun at your place and loved being close to Noosa too. It was a real pleasure looking after your place and pets, thanks for having us stay. All the best to you both and to Tibby & Hugo too :-)
Rob and Cheryl looked after our home and 2 puppies whilst we went overseas. As soon as l saw their reviews and bio, l wanted them to sit. Rob and Cheryl are cool cats, they are very calm and kind and their warm energy is contagious. Our dogs loved them so much they were a bit depressed when they left. Good communication, photos, texts etc were sent to us to give us confidence our beloved boys were happy. House was immaculate when we came home. You would be lucky to book these guys. I hope ...

JENNIFER (Tallebudgera QLD, Sep 2022 - 1 week 2 days)
We are so grateful to Rob and Cheryl for house sitting for us at such short notice. Not only did they get us out of a huge pickle they also did a fabulous job with our 7 horses and 8 chickens. We came home to happy, thoroughly well looked after fur babies and an extreme well looked after place. They kept us informed with regular photos and updates of everyone, which allowed us to relax and get on with the work we needed to do while we were away. Nothing was a problem for them and they clearly ... MORE
 
DEB (Bridges QLD, Sep 2022 - 5 days)
So happy we chose Cheryl and Rob for our recent home sit. The did an outstanding job of taking care of everything. Kisha our cat was spoilt rotten under their loving care. I would hope to have them back for our next trip away. Highly recommend them both.
 
GAYLE (Montville QLD, Jun 2022 - 3 weeks)
We found Cheryl and Rob to be exceptional house sitters. They took perfect care of all our animals, our home and garden under challenging circumstances due to torrential rain. They made us feel at ease and allowed us to enjoy our long overdue holidays. Rob and Cheryl are wonderful caring people and I hope they will housesit for us again in the future.
 
NATALIE (Myocum, Byron Bay Shire NSW, Feb 2021 - 2 weeks)
Thank you Natalie and Alok for making us feel so very much at home. Your pets are all a pleasure to be with and easy-care. Such a refreshing change to have really well-trained companions. We loved all of them Hope to see you again x
No rating Rob and Cheryl were everything we could have hoped for in house sitters. They looked after our dog wonderfully and left the house immaculate. They were excellent communicators and very accommodating. We have no hesitation in highly recommending them.
CRAIG & WENDY (Maroochydore QLD, Mar 2017)
No rating As first timers to house sitting Rob an Cheryl were a fantastic choice for us. They made us feel at ease from the first time we spoke. We were thrilled with the way our pets responded to them and the obvious ease in which they slotted into our routine. Throughout our interaction Rob and Cheryl's communication was excellent. We had lots of updates on how our pets were going and had a good sense that everything was going okay. And it was an absolute pleasure to come home to a clean and tidy ... MORE
ELIZABETH (North Lilydale TAS, Dec 2016 - 2 weeks 4 days)
No rating Cheryl and Rob are fantastic housesitters. We returned home today from our holiday to find the house spotless - possibly better than when we left it!!. There were flowers in vases, clean floors, tidy rooms. And the garden - it was certainly in better shape than when we left. The lawn had been mowed; garden beds weeded; various bushes tidied up and edges cleaned up. We regularly received updates on the house and the cats, which made our holiday worry-free. Thank you Cheryl and Rob, we ... MORE
CHRISTINE (Tura Beach NSW, Aug 2016 - 3 weeks)
No rating Cheryl and Rob have looked after our house, garden and animals twice now. Last year we were away for a month and they did a wonderful job, the house was spotless when we got home, the lawn mowed and our dog and chooks happy and healthy. Cheryl kept us updated throughout our trip with news from home and gave a thorough handover when we returned. We were very happy when we advertised again recently for sitters that Cheryl and Rob were still in the area and available for the 2 weeks that we were ... MORE
JENNIFER (Mons QLD, Feb 2016 - 2 weeks 1 day)
No rating Rob and Cheryl have been two of the best house sitters we've had. They are a lovely couple, extremely friendly and trustworthy, and took wonderful care of our house, dog and chickens. The house was immaculate when we returned, our dog fit and happy. Returning from overseas in the evening it was wonderful to have them cook dinner for us. I would thoroughly recommend Rob and Cheryl to anyone. PS. The dates on this sit were actually dates we had first contacted them about a year previously, and ... MORE
