Energetic, happily married, non-smoking couple. We love the experience of travelling and have had many wonderful experiences..

House-sitting provides us with the ability to live and experience many different lovely locations and cultures as a local rather than a tourist.

We are trustworthy, reliable and considerate and have been homeowners, landlords, house sitters and renters. We also love animals and have had various pets ourselves - we understand that they are part of the family. Elaine grew up on a farm and loves nothing more than getting back to the farm and is comfortable around farm animals, fish and birds (sadly Phil is allergic to cats)

Professionally we are Masters-qualified and have had long-term careers. We are self-reliant and used to honouring commitments while being flexible to the home owner's needs. We like to keep active and have no fear of trying something new and problem solving for those unexpected events that happen from time to time.

Being invited to look after someone's home is a responsibility we appreciate and respect. Looking after other peoples' pets whilst house-sitting provides us with some animal company too. Animals seem to accept and trust us very quickly.

We like to give the house and pet owner peace of mind that a reliable, mature and animal-loving couple are looking after everything while they are away. Your house and animals are precious and will be treated with love, care and professionalism.

We have a number of references (a sample below) and can happily send you a link more AirBnB references:

"Elaine and Phil are amazing, dream guests basically. They stayed a week and I would have been happy with 6 months! They are friendly, kind, super-considerate and capable, lovely company and left the place beautiful. Wonderful people" Dee @ London UK

"What a great pleasure to welcome Elaine and Phil! I really enjoyed their kindness and moreover they left my studio perfectly cleaned. I hope to welcome them again! I recommend them truly! Please come back to my home, I'll be so happy." Anny @ Mougins France

"Elaine and Phil were delightful with such a dynamic zest for life and travelling. We so very much enjoyed having them to stay and can thoroughly recommend them. We were genuinely sad to see them go" Angela @ Snowden Mountains Wales

We look forward to meeting you and caring for your home and family.

Elaine & Phil were simply amazing. We cannot recommend them highly enough and we are hoping they'll be available if timings suit in future again! They were totally trustworthy... absolutely dedicated to our dogs and chooks with the most amazing care for them.... so totally respectful of our home... cared for our garden and house better than we could ever have imagined! After over half a decade of solid commitments without opportunity to get away... we were initially nervous of the idea. ... MORE

Excellent sit from this lovely couple, who took extra good care of our old German Shepherd, and left our house in sparkling condition. They communicated well while we were away and we couldn't be happier.
 
TREVOR (Bayonet Head WA, Dec 2022 - 4 days)
Elaine & Phil changed their plans to be able to care for our dear old dog Cyrus. Cyrus was so at ease the moment he met both of them. He is always a great judge if people are truly animal lovers, given he is a rescue dog & had a past life of apparently being abused. Elaine & Phil only met us the morning we were leaving due to other commitments & straight away we knew they were a perfect match & communication was so easy & relaxed. The house was left sparkling & they left a lovely thankyou ... MORE
 
JANE (FALCON WA, Dec 2022 - 4 days)
Elaine and Phil took wonderful care of our beautiful dog. They communicated regularly with updates, followed instructions and we felt very comfortable that he was in wonderful hands. The house was as we left it and they were very flexible with arriving and even a change of dates when Perth went into lockdown. We would love to have them house sit again!
 
MADDY (Peppermint Grove Beach WA, Jul 2021 - 7 days)
No rating I am very happy to endorse Phil and Elaine as prospective house/pet sitters. They are a lovely couple who kept in contact with me during my holiday so I didn't need to worry about anything at home. My dog had a wonderful time in their company and was give lots of love and attention. I would be more than happy to give a verbal reference if contacted and would not hesitate to have them back to stay on future trips.
BRIDGET (Margaret River WA, Jul 2018 - 2 weeks 1 day)
No rating Elaine and Phil were fantastic Housesitters! They made us feel at ease as soon as we began contact with them and they looked after our place and dog beautifully! We would highly recommend them and hope to use them again in the future!
ANNA (Wagga Wagga NSW, Jan 2018 - 3 days)
No rating Elaine and Phil were the perfect sitters! They took extremely good care of our little dog and treated our home as if it were their own. Elaine would always reply to my messages promptly as well as send me photos of our dog while we were away. We felt as though we could completely relax on our holiday knowing our home was in good hands. My husband and I are new to the whole house sitting experience so we are very glad to have chosen Phil and Elaine, who were helpful and organised from the ... MORE
RACHAEL (Oxenford QLD, Jan 2018 - 1 week)
No rating Elaine and Phil are dream house and pet sitters. They are super reliable and responsible, and are genuinely nice people. I can't recommend them highly enough.
NAOMI (Fig Tree Pocket QLD, Dec 2017 - 2 weeks 2 days)
No rating Elaine and Phil were wonderful housesitters and I have no hesitation in recommending them. They were reliable to arrive despite delaying traffic conditions, able to communicate with them easily, did everything we asked of them and more! The house and yard were left well kept and they even cooked us a lovely lunch to arrive home to. The 3 kelpies had loving carers and had the happiest time with lots of play time, Bella even learning a new trick. Elaine and Phil are lovely honest people who ... MORE
