We needed a house sitter at short notice prepared to take on a pretty chaotic small farm full of animals including 2 very naughty, spoilt pups. Felix came with his 2 mini pins to meet our animals in advance. His dogs were very friendly & calm with all our animals. We felt safe to leave them all in his care. We were extremely happy with our Housesitter Felix. He communicated so well before, during & after the sit. He sent photos of our animals often which helped us to know they were happy. ... MORE

KIM (Peakhurst Heights NSW, Feb 2022 - 2 weeks 3 days)
Felix was an exceptional sitter in every sense. Sunshine absolutely adored all the love and attention she received from Felix and our daily updates and photos were testament to this. Our home, lawns and gardens looked amazing upon our return. We unexpectedly had to return earlier than planned and Felix took this all onboard and even organised dinner on our return. He was the perfect fit for us.

No rating Unfortunately we were not at all happy with this sitter and from our observation would not recommend him. Robin
ROBIN (Nana Glen NSW, May 2021 - Approx 6weeks)
We would highly recommend Felix, he cared for our garden, pot plants and home wonderfully. He communicated regularly keeping us updated throughout our time away. We came home to a very clean house and he even left us a very thoughtful gift to thank us for allowing him to stay. Thank-you Felix we wish you well on your travels.
 
VALERIE & ANDREW (Clagiraba QLD, Apr 2021 - 4 weeks)
Our dogs totally loved Felix and seemed very happy when we got home. Chooks and sheep were also in good condition when we came home. We specifically told him not to bother with the garden so no comment on that. It was great to get pictures and updates on how the dogs were and how many lambs we had. Communication marked down a bit because we would have also liked to be told about the bad news (see below) Felix was unfortunate that we copped the NSW mouse plague while we were away but did ...

JEAN (Tallawang NSW, Apr 2021 - 2 weeks 1 day)
This was the first time I'd left my fur babies & I was a little anxious. I couldn't of asked for a better sitter than Felix. He treated my dogs like his own. They slept with him. He walked them every day on various local trails, took pics and sent them to me daily. He put my mind at ease. He left the house as he found it. I can't recommend Felix enough. He's also a dog whisperer. He taught my dogs to walk together in 4 short days.
 
KATIE (Loganlea QLD, Feb 2021 - 4 days)
Communication with Felix was very easy and he even popped around before the sitting date to meet and greet with us and out family of pets. Our two dogs were happy and carefree around Felix and his two pooches (who were adorable). We went on our travels knowing that all our fur babies and birds were in goods hands. Felix sent us photos and videos during the week to show how they were all getting on and how settled they were. I would definitely recommend Felix.

VIKKI (Mareeba QLD, Nov 2020 - 1 week 5 days)
Very happy to have Felix and his two little dogs looking after our home and animals. Our most anxious dog, Charlie, was in love with him as soon as he got out of the car. He also won over a very flighty horse. Communication was excellent, with regular photos and videos almost daily. Sadly, he had to leave before we got home but left us with a delicious guacamole and tabouleh, a very thoughtful gesture and much appreciated after the long drive home. Have no hesitation in recommending ... MORE
 
CHRISTINE & RICHARD (New Moonta QLD, Oct 2020 - 12 days)
Felix answered our add within a couple of days and the lines of communication were opened shortly afterwards. We found Felix open, honest and very reliable, especially when it came to looking after our dogs. Felix kept in touch with us during our absence and kept us up to date with what the animals were doing. On arrival home we had a sumptuous sit down dinner, prepared by Felix which was delicious. We have no hesitation in recommending Felix for your house sit & care of your pets
 
BRADLEY (Yengarie QLD, Sep 2020 - 7 days)
Felix was a super great house sitter. He minded our pets (Jack Russell and multiple chooks) like they were his. He had great communication before during and even after the 'sit'. He was very polite and I imagine would fit in anywhere. He was respectful of our home and surroundings and I would have no hesitation in recommending him for house sitting. He stayed with us his first night before we departed for our trip and our daughters thought he was wonderful. The only downside was that he ... MORE
 
PHOEBE (Malanda QLD, Aug 2020 - 1 week 1 day)
Felix is an exceptional house sitter and we came back to three exhausted, content happy dogs, a freshly baked cake, beautiful pumpkin dish and a clean home. I could not have asked for a kinder, more caring person to look after our pets. Our communication was quick and prompt and I was always kept well informed. I highly recommend Felix for any house sits. I look forward to having Felix again to look after our dogs.
 
CAREN (Mount Ossa QLD, Jul 2020 - 2 days)
This was our first time engaging a house sitter and we were a bit nervous leaving all the animals. However Felix was amazing - we didn't need to worry. He took fabulous care of all our animals (we have a lot!) and certainly went beyond and above with keeping the house & gardens tidy (probably tidier than what we left it!). He left some soup in the freezer and also prepared some cut up veges for us to roast on our return. We received regular photos of our animals. We found him to be very ... MORE
 
KARIN (Speewah QLD, Jul 2020 - 1 week)
It's been an absolute pleasure having Felix sit for us. Our home has been beautifully maintained and our animals well cared for, The house use is in better condition than when we left, our dogs are tired but contented from all the walks they had. We got regular updates while we were away and the one problem we had with a leaking pipe was dealt with quickly, efficiently and with a minimum of fuss. I would happily recommend Felix to anyone seeking someone to look after their home and pets.
 
PAUL (Kennedys Creek VIC, Mar 2020 - 1 week 5 days)
Felix was an outstanding sitter, The house was left tidy when we arrived home both times as we required Felix's time on 2 separate weekends, It was lovely to come home to a generous and thoughtful meal that Felix cooked for us, Felix took the time to make sure he cooked us a traditional Polish dish as I had mentioned my father was Polish. I totally loved that Felix would send us daily pic's of all our fur babies keeping our minds at ease they we safe and well looked after, I wouldnt hesitate ... MORE
