We are a young, non smoking self funded retiree couple. We live in Stanthorpe (the coldest town in Qld) . We can go anywhere we like at any time. We are fit and healthy and can accomplish most requirements without to much trouble. Home maintenance, cleaning, gardening, handyman duties. You name it and we will try to oblige. We would love to look after your animals as we both miss our pets almost as much as we miss our adult children (all adults now). We are also experienced with farm animals. Cows, sheep, chooks, geese, horses etc. We belong to a world known running club called the Hash House Harriers, although these days we walk instead of run. Reading and fishing is also a favourite past time. We can happily provide police, character check and house sitting references if required.
We look forward to hearing from you.

No rating We couldn't have been happier with our sitters Patti and Russell. We came home to a happy dog, a clean house and even food in the fridge! We were fortunate be able to spend the evening together before we went on holiday and we have become friends. We have no hesitation in recommending Patti and Russell to look after your house and pets.
SUE AND MIKE COLE, HOBART (South Hobart TAS, May 2017 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Russell and Patti were fantastic house sitters! They took great care of our 3 small dogs, 2 indoor cats, our chooks and fish too and left both the house and guest house spotless. They were really easy to communicate with and it was reassuring to know that all was well at home while we enjoyed our family holiday. We would recommend them without hesitation to anyone wanting trustworthy, caring sitters to look after their pets and home.

Hi Lisa I forgot all about the fish. We always knew where they were and what they were doing 🤣🤣
Patti and Russell are a friendly, easy-going couple who did an excellent job of housesitting and caring for our cat, Benson. From the outset, communication was easy and they were happy to have a meet and greet prior to the sit. Afterward, we felt totally comfortable leaving our property (and cat!) in their capable hands. Whilst away we received updates and photos of our cat, which was lovely. On our return, the house was spotless! We would not hesitate in having Patti and Russell house sit for ... MORE
 
VICKI (Carina QLD, Dec 2022 - 1 week 5 days)
Patti and Russell were wonderful Housesitters and we would have no hesitation in recommending them. Or using there services again. They were absolutely lovely with our rescue dog, Jazz, who was still adjusting to a new home and mistrustful of strangers. The house was immaculate on our return, and Jazz was happy and noticeably more confident, the gardens were thriving and it was a really positive experience for all! We had to cut our holiday short due to COVID and they were extremely ... MORE

No rating Patti and Russ were excellent house/pet sitters. Our house was clean and tidy when we left, but it seemed to be sparkling when we arrived home! Our beloved cat seemed content and not stressed, so that was even better. When they first arrived we shared a meal with them and got to know them a little. They are a lovely chatty couple and we got along well. We could tell that they were reasonable, normal and took pride in doing things well. This was confirmed when we arrived home and ... MORE
REBECCA (Tweed Heads South NSW, Aug 2016 - 1 week 4 days)
No rating Patti and Russell house sat for us during the months of August and Sept 2015. From our first contact with them my husband and I felt very certain that Patti and Russell would care for our animals and home with care and respect. . We left knowing that they would follow our instructions to the letter and also show initiative of their own. They even accommodated our niece for a few days prior to our return. Upon our return we found the animals in perfect health,(I think the cat would have ... MORE

No rating As House sitting virgins' we were nervous about having strangers house sit for us, but after meeting with Patti and Russell we felt much better. We have a acquired a few animals, our latest a young Boxer male "Tig" who is very big and energetic and as we had only rescued him recently we were worried how he would get on with someone new. Well we needed not worry. They say animals are good judges of character well "Tig" was right. Patti and Russell are fantastic people they looked after our home ... MORE

No rating We found Russell and Pattie extremely friendly people. They did a wonderful job and everything was lovely and tidy when we returned. We have no hesitation in recommending them for Farm Sitting/ House Sitting.
CHRISTINE (Sunbury, VIC, Nov 2014 - 6 days)
No rating We were very pleased with the way our Dog Missy and house had been looked after while we were away. every thing was very neat and tidy and in their place, even the side porch which I hadnt got around to cleaning for some time was sparkling, Missy was quite happy also.I can highly recommend Pattie and Russell as great house sitters and if possible would use them again at some future date. Also liked the fact that they on their page had included future house dates and locations which was a great ... MORE

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
