Susan & Andrew

Greetings!
We have completed various housesits through Trusted House sitter and five from here!
We are happy to share our 5-star feedback with you!

We are a fun-loving family of four, living in Melbourne and looking for "family friendly" sits.

We moved to Melbourne from Queensland in 2009 and lived on the eastern side of Melbourne until our house was built and ready in 2011 and have been there ever since.

Our two kids are 9 (girl) and 2 (boy)
We love to travel interstate (and intrastate) and we take pride in our own home and garden and would demonstrate this with any house that we have the pleasure to sit, particularly with cleaning, keeping the place tidy and attending to garden tasks.
At the moment, we are interested in weekend sits/ short term; due to work purposes and our daughter's schooling requirements coming first. However, quite happy to consider anything during school holidays!

Andrew has his family interstate and we recently spent Christmas with them (after multiple lockdowns) which brought us to the lovely idea of house sitting and pet sitting instead of sitting in a boring hotel room and waiting to use the swimming pool. We noticed a cat in the hotel complex and spent a lot of time with him.

We supervise our kids very thoroughly and have undertaken house sits with them, learning about respecting pets and other people's property. We hope to arrive to a reasonably tidy house so we can spend more time with the pet/s rather than cleaning! We will make sure we tidy up after ourselves and love your pet/s as our own!

We have a beautiful brown marbled Bengal cat named Jessica who gets lots of love and attention, especially from the kiddies and is an indoors cat and is friends with our neighbour receiving care when we are away.
She joins Suzie with yoga and exercise sometimes :) She can be seen in the background in zoom meetings!

We both work in permanent jobs in Melbourne & try our best to adapt a healthy work life balance involving our kids and pet.
In regard to our health, we have both had our booster shots and prefer to stay in homes where the owner has a regard for health, cleanliness and hygiene (We want to spend more time with your furry friends than cleaning up!).
We are non-smokers (and prefer to sit for non-smokers). Our daughter has had had her two vaccinations as recommended.

We love taking photos and will keep you updated as often as you like. Feel free to add us to WhatsApp!
The kids are always supervised with the pets especially with dogs and we will not have them wonder off without an eye on them :). We read advertisements carefully and if we feel the animals are a good match for our children to hang out with, we will consider applying.

Communication is the key.
We prefer texts so we that we don't interrupt your holiday but we are more than happy to send regular photos and keep you updated.

Unfortunately, our profile for the Trusted Housesitters profile has expired as we did not renew in time but happy to confirm that we we have house sit in various locations including Canberra, Albury, Melbourne, Mornington Peninsula, Bellarine region (Geelong, St Leonard's).

Thank you for reading. x
