Hello, our names are Rose-Mary and David and we are both retired school teachers and have each been in the teaching profession for over 30 years. We've been housesitting for about 10 years and loving it. We set high standards of presentation with our own home and those that we care for. We are both a non-smoking and non-drinking couple. We are handy around the home and garden, have cared for acreage, suburban properties and apartments/units (including small pets and pool/spa care). Cuddling up with cats is our specialty!

We are more than happy to meet with you in person prior to the housesit dates.

We pride ourselves on being technologically minded as we like to keep our home owners up to date with pet photos, regular updates and information via email, texts, Facebook etc. We will happily address your preferred method of communication.

We are a trustworthy and a mature couple and our overall aim is to meet the needs of our home owners including your precious pets.

You can rest assured that your time away will be all the more relaxed knowing that your home and pets are our highest priority, offering you peace of mind. We look forward to hearing from you.

Our last housesit was in Milton caring a cat.

Kind regards,
David and Rose-Mary.

You could not get better sitters than Rose-Mary and David! We left on our holiday certain that our home and cat were in good hands and would be well looked after. They were extremely organised, with all necessary information required by them requested via a form which was to be filled out by us prior to our departure. Whilst away we received regular communication from Rose-Mary and David, including photos of our cat, Harry. On our return we found the lawn recently mowed, the house spotless, ... MORE

Rose-Mary and David are the ultimate in housesitters. Having seen their years of experience in housesitting we were comfortable leaving our two cats and Sydney home in their hands. Rose-Mary was prompt and friendly in her initial communication, we then had a lengthy Skype chat prior to confirming the sit. Rose-Mary and David then came to Sydney a day early to run through everything in the house. During our two weeks away we got several lovely messages with photos of the cats to know ... MORE

I recently had the pleasure of Rose-Mary and David house-sitting for me for four weeks while I was away with work. I felt very comfortable having Rose-Mary and David looking after my home while I was away. On my return, the house was perfectly clean and tidy, lawns mowed, and a clean pool. There was a lovely bowl of fresh fruit and flowers on the table, along with some fresh bread, milk and homemade Chocolate Browie's. Communication throughout the whole process was excellent and they provided ... MORE

Rose-Mary and David are the best house sitters imaginable. They responded immediately to my messages, met with us twice before the sit and had thought of absolutely everything. As soon as we walked into our house on our return I could see how spotlessly clean it was. We were then greeted by a plate of fruit, nuts, flowers and loaf of fresh bread on the bench and there was even a lovely casserole in the fridge for our dinner that night. They were wonderful with our dog and sent us pictures of ... MORE

No rating We were lucky to have Rose-Mary and Dave look after our property for 3 weeks while we were away. We couldn't have chosen a nicer couple and felt totally comfortable with them at the helm. We came home to a spotless guest suite and the garden well cared for and the lawn mowed, They even left us a lovely note, chocolates and flowers. I have already provisionally booked them for Feb 2019.

To whom it may concern. We are Joy and Garry Beck who live in Caloundra on the beautiful Sunshine Coast of Queensland. Rose-Mary and David have been our housesitters on two occasions now, for a couple of weeks the first time and for over 4 weeks the second time, looking after our house and our little dog Bella. After the first time, we were so impressed we sought them out for our next trip away and were lucky enough to have them available. They looked after Bella exceptionally well, she ... MORE
 
GARRY (Caloundra QLD, Dec 2016 - 1 week 6 days)
No rating Two delightful people who did more than we expected. Very helpful, considerate, and treated our home maybe even better than we do, and that's a huge recommendation as our home is always neat clean and tidy. Mail was neatly bundled on the table, the garden looked great and everything was neat and in it's place. Our pooch was walked, talked to and generally made a fuss of which he loved of course. Overall we couldn't be happier. We arrived home to a spotless house and a lovely unexpected ... MORE
BRIAN (Helensvale Town Centre QLD, Dec 2015 - 1 week 2 days)
No rating David and Rose- Mary looked after my house and cats for the third time and I cannot recommend them highly enough. My cat Cfer is a senior cat and I know he really enjoyed all of the attention that was lavished on him. They were very thorough in asking if I had any special requirements during their stay and followed everything to a tee, including specific plants in the garden that needed watering attention. The house was spotless and we were greeted upon our return with a homemade frittata , ... MORE
KERRY (Algester QLD, Nov 2015 - 3 days)
No rating Rose-Mary and David house sat for us over Easter 2015. Moreover, they babysat our much-loved, but very needy Burmese cats, Louie and Charlie. We are overly protective of Louie and Charlie and always ensure that they get the best possible care when we have to be away from home. We were not disappointed with Rose-Mary and David! They were perfect pet sitters and immediately engaged with the cats as soon as they arrived. We were provided with text messages and photographs of the cats ... MORE

No rating Rose-Mary and David were house-sitters for us, commencing May 2014. This was the first time we had decided to appoint a house-sitter, so understandably we were a little apprehensive. Our fears were immediately dispelled following our initial meeting with this lovely couple. They came across as warm, caring and friendly, yet still entirely professional. Communication prior to and during the house-sitting period ensured we could relax in the knowledge that our house and garden was being well ... MORE
