Fish are friends

53, Volunteer Vinnies

50, IT/Carer

Hi we are a couple who enjoy travelling and nature. Joe is 53 and I am 50. A year ago we began housesitting together. Joe already had 6 years experience and I started mine a year and a half ago. Together we make a great team with our combined skills and love of animals. During our life spans we have both owned a variety of our own pets. Joe is a retired chef, motel worker and former volunteer at Vinnie's. Previously I was a support worker. I have an IT background and was also a former volunteer with a horse organisation dealing with trauma clients. Like Joe I have previous experience in motel work as a cleaner.

As a couple we really enjoy the experience of house/pet sitting and like to care for homes and pets as if they were our own whilst the owners are away. We are more than happy to meet and greet where possible.

Joe and Jen Did a wonderful job housesitting and work well as a team. We came home to two happy little dogs. Communication between all parties was excellent. They both love animals and they were happy to accommodate our requests. Our home was left clean and tidy. We would be happy to have them back again in the future. They were the perfect fit for our situation.

Jo & Jen did a lovely job looking after my 2 cats, house & garden. It was great to come home after a long 6 week trip to a clean, tidy environment, well maintained lawns & happy, relaxed pussycats. They had obviously taken good care of them 🙂
 
SANDI (Bellingen NSW, Feb 2024 - 1 month 2 weeks)
It was so lovely to have Jo And Jennifer taking care of my pets and the house while I was away. It was a bit of a stressful time for me taking care of family, and Jo And Jennifer communicated really well, and took amazing care of my dog and Cat. Highly recommend them!
 
KERRYN (Crescent Head NSW, Nov 2023 - 6 nights)
Joe & Jennifer are fantastic house/pet sitters. My house was spotless and both my dogs were well looked after & loved. Communication was great & I was able to be away without any concerns. I hope to have Joe & Jennifer back again.

I wish I could give Joe 6 stars. Absolutely wonderful human being who took really good care of our beloved cat and our garden was thriving. He gave us the house cleaner than we left. Would recommend him 100 percent.

Joe (Giuseppe) is an amazing house and cat sitter. I went away for 2 months and my cat turned just one while I was away, and she grew beautifully. Also, Joe looked after my place perfectly. He's a great communicator and kept me posted. I'd have him back any time.
 
MARIA (Leichhardt NSW, May 2023 - 2 months)
Giuseppe was a great petsitter for pippa and luna. He has a good nature with animals and the girls warmed up to him very quickly. Giuseppe kept in contact everyday letting me known the girls were good and healthy. I definitely recommend Giuseppe to care for you fur babies...
 
CAROLINA (Lisarow NSW, May 2023 - 3 days)
This is the first time I used a house sitting service.. Replies were prompt after advertising my property. I appreciated Jo being proactive, offering documents police check etc to put me at ease.Although I didn't have fur baby duties Joe was clearly an animal lover and passionate about achieving a worry free situation for clients. Jo is a can do person ,and capable of dealing with or fixing any unforseen circumstances.My house sit was Garden duties and generally be around if Fre, flood ,burst ... MORE
 
ALISON (Hornsby Heights NSW, Mar 2023 - 4 weeks)
Joe was absolutely fantastic. He has kindly looked after my kitties twice now: * pet care: My cats are a pain in the ass (wouldn't change them for the world). Apollo is on meds twice a day, is on a special diet and suffers from sepration anxiety, he is also on a special diet. Bella is also on a different special diet. They were both cared for fantastically. So much so, that Bella was immensely disappointed when I came back. * communication: I get very anxious about leaving the cats ... MORE
 
SHANEY (Sherwood QLD, Oct 2020 - 1 week 6 days)
Joe was a wonderful house sitter. He was great to communicate with, before, during and after the house sit. We have 2 older cats, a big garden and many pot plants. Joe clearly loves animals and quickly bonded with our fur children and we really appreciated the regular text updates telling us all was well at home. Everything was perfect when we got home, clean and tidy and our fur children were happy and relaxed. We especially appreciated Joe's kind and flexible offer, to stay ... MORE
 
GILLIAN (Victoria Point QLD, Feb 2020 - 1 month 1 week)
Joe looked after our 2 Goldie's and house for 10 days with very short notice and we can't thank him enough. Would highly recommend Joe for any future housesits and would have him back tomorrow. Thanks for looking after our house and girls beautifully.
 
BARRY & JENNY (The Gap QLD, Dec 2019 - 1 week 3 days)
We had Joe house sit for us and look after our 2 cats, home, garden and pool. Right from the very first meet/greet we found Joe to be honest and trustworthy. Joe is a very easy going guy and happy to accommodate whatever you need. We communicated while we were overseas, with no drama. We came home the house was left immaculate. Joe loves cats, so i felt very comfortable leaving him with my 2, which one can be a little naughty. We would definitely use Joe services again should he be available.
 
SANDRA (Victoria Point QLD, Sep 2019 - 4 weeks)
Our recent last minute requirement for a housesitter was swiftly responded to by Joseph which was very well received. His reviews & police check certainly put us at ease as did a quick meeting before he came to stay. We communicated easily and Our pussies were very comfortable with him, no problems and the house was ship shape on our return. Giuseppe even followed up the following day to see if we were happy with his care of our treasured cats. No hesitation in asking him again. Thank you ... MORE
 
SUZANNE & JEREMY (Murrumba Downs QLD, Aug 2019 - 3 days)
The first time we met Joe we felt he had a presence with our two aging cats. Normally they are quite wary of new people but they seemed very comfortable with him. Joe was very accommodating when we asked him to come around before we left on our 2 month holiday. The first time just to meet and the second to go through the many pages of notes on looking after the cats and our home. He even offered to drive us to the airport. We left, feeling satisfied that our cats were in good hands. ... MORE
 
KERRY (Victoria Point QLD, Jun 2019 - Almost 2 months)
This is my first time using this website and must admit I was 100% satisfied with Giuseppe care for our 2 dogs and home. He was caring , communicated regularly and maintained the house and day to day duties of post etc really well. Would highly recommend.
 
GLENN (Mount Coolum QLD, May 2019 - 2 weeks)
We had a last minute house sit come up unexpectedly and Joe was able to come and help us out. Joe left the house very neat and tidy and looked after our cat Cleo really well. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Joe to come and look after your house for you.
 
PAULA (Redland Bay QLD, May 2019 - 6 nights)
Giuseppe was a great housesitter and pet carer. He looked after the house, the plants, the garden and, most importantly, our beautiful boy Ruski. Giuseppe (Joe) was reliable, contactable and helpful. He loaded my heavy port into his car AND drove me to the airport. Furthermore, he maintained regular contact when we were away. I knew Ruski would be in caring, loving hands when I observed them bond - immediately - upon meeting. Joe readily obeyed Ruski's demands to be fed, patted, ... MORE
 
KIM, STEPHEN AND RUSKI (Murrumba Downs QLD, Mar 2019 - 3 days)
Giuseppe took care of my house & dog at very short notice. He is very friendly & kept in touch to make sure that my dog was happy whilst we were away. We hope that he will be able to look after our house & dog again soon when we next have a break.
 
FREYA (Spring Farm NSW, Jan 2019 - 2 days)
Guiseppe looked after our house and cat for 2 weeks and we couldn't be happier of the care he took of both our home and our beautiful cat. She seemed relaxed and happy upon our return and the house was spotlessly clean. We have already asked Guiseppe to come and stay and mind our cat again on our next trip away! This was our first time using Aussie House Sitters and we are delighted with our experience!
 
ANNE-MARIE (Raby Bay QLD, Dec 2018 - 1 week 3 days)
Giuseppe was a wonderful sitter for our house and pets recently. Our babies were looked after, loved and cared for especially on the stormy days whilst we were away. Our pets missed us but we were so happy knowing they were safe and at home where they are happiest. When we arrived back we found our home exactly as we had left it. We would not hesitate in recommending Giuseppe as a sitter and look forward to requesting his services in the future.
 
SUSAN AND GLENN (Edens Landing QLD, Dec 2018 - 1 week 5 days)
Very happy with our house sitter Guiseppe. The house was clean and tidy on our return home and the animals were happy and healthy. We have quite a menagerie, so job well done, would rebook this sitter if required in the future
