Hello, we are Bruno and Gail, husband and wife and we have been pet/house sitting full/part time for over 10 years now. Bruno sold his cafe business a few years ago now and I had been working in administration for Community Nursing in Australia. Bruno was born in Italy and brought up in France. He speaks fluent French & English, fully understands Italian, and speaks basic Italian. I was born in Australia.

With house sitting we have found that we are thoroughly enjoying the company of pets and their different personalities. We consider it to be a great privilege as we are being trusted with your lovely home and beloved pets. You can be sure that we will never take this for granted. We appreciate they are precious family members and will treat them as our own providing them with love, comfort, attention and exercise. House sitting enables us to combine our love for animals and pets with our passion for travel. With house and pet sitting we are interested in living in a community and not just being a drive through tourist. We understand that the care, security and safety of your pets and home are of the utmost importance, and we believe in giving 110%. We are also extremely aware and respectful of your privacy within your home.

We are financially secure, honest, clean living, non-smoking very proud house owners and would respect and treat your home as if it was our own. Although at present we do not have any pets of our own, due to travel plans, we have owned various pets over the years.

We both come from customer service backgrounds, and we feel that this gives us the ability to have a caring, nurturing attitude and an eye for detail. We are able to take decisions and deal with difficulties responsibly when they arise leaving you to be away and have peace of mind. We have had experience in repair and maintenance of properties with also having fully renovated another property that we own. (Apart from making a mean coffee Bruno is very handy)
To date we have done 112 sits and have been invited back by homeowners for future sits.
We have our own website, fraussies.com where all of our references can be viewed as we are members of several house-sitting sites. It is here, that you can also learn a bit more about us.

Gail and Bruno were fantastic sitters. Both my house and cat, Roko, were very happy, clean, healthy and satisfied. Gail and Bruno are highly recommended.
 
SUSAN (JULIA) (Ocean Shores NSW, Mar 2023 - 6 days)
Gail and Bruno. Did an outstanding job of taking care of my cat Lexus , Lovely couple. Ultra reliable. We got regular updates on how Lexus was. They were very respectful of our home. Came back to a clean tidy home. Would have them stay again in a heartbeat.
 
BERNADETTE (Bellbowrie QLD, Jun 2021 - 2 weeks 4 days)
Bruno and Gail were absolutely wonderful pet and house sitters. From their regular photo updates, I could see my pets were very happy and comfortable with them. Bruno and Gail provided my pets with sincere care and company. My home was beautifully clean on my return and the garden was 200% better than when I left! I must thank Bruno and Gail for their hard work and absolute respect for my home and pets. I very much hope to see you again and have you to stay with my pets when I next go away. ... MORE
 
DAVID (Boonah QLD, Feb 2021 - 3 weeks)
Gail and Bruno are absolutely delightful. We immediately felt comfortable with Gail and Bruno looking after our fluffy fellow and staying in our home. We would definitely recommend them to take care of your pets and your home and would have no hesitation having them stay again.
 
FLEUR (Annerley QLD, Jan 2021 - 6 days)
Bruno & Gail looked after our boys for a few days whilst we took a short break away. Although a little apprehensive as our first time house sitters, we were so happy with their wonderful service. As were our boys . I actually think they Were disappointed to see us walk through the door on our return home & not Bruno & Gail. They sulked for the rest of that day. We will definitely like to have Gail & Bruno sit for us again as I'm certain our boys would too. Our home was immaculately clean & ... MORE
 
KAREN (Redland Bay QLD, Oct 2020 - 2 days)
Bruno was an amazing house sitter with excellent communication and care towards my puppy. Bruno did this house sit solo however I would not hesitate to have this lovely couple look after my house in the future. Bruno did an excellent job with keeping my puppy entertained and fixing up my yard which was amazing. My house was returned to me in pristine condition. Thank you Bruno! I have recommended you to friends and family for future house sits. Look no further for an amazing house sitter that ... MORE
 
ELIZA (Mount Isa QLD, Sep 2020 - 1 week 2 days)
It was a pleasure to have Gail and Bruno stay and mind our home. They took excellent care of our plants and guinea pigs to make sure they were well looked after and comfortable. We felt confident leaving our place in their hands and came back to a sparkling clean apartment with everything just as we left it.
 
CELESTE (Chiswick NSW, Dec 2019 - 1 week)
I don't even know where to start, I am sure there are no words to adequately describe how wonderful Gail and Bruno are. We left these beautiful people to care for our home and our 2 dogs and one cat ( one of of dogs our darling Jack was 17 years old and his health was failing) Fortunately for Jack and for us Gail and Bruno were there for him when he became extremely ill on a Sunday evening. They kindly transported our beautiful boy to an emergency vet almost 50 km away and kept in constant ... MORE
 
HELEN (Bargo NSW, Dec 2019 - 4 days)
Helen, thank you for your very kind words and we are only to pleased that we were there to help. We hope that things have settled now in Bargo for everyone. Kind Regards Gail and Bruno
We couldn't have had a better choice than Bruno and Gail! What a lovely couple! House spotless. Hubby arrived home a week before me and wanted to stay in a motel so he didn't mess it up before I saw it! Kind (dropped us at airport and picked Ian up), Wonderful with Rockie who went into a decline when they left and had to be cheered up with lots of treats. For our first experience of homesitting we were overwhelmed! They would be hard to beat, Rockie sends them his love.
 
IAN AND LIZ (Tauranga North Island, Nov 2019 - 2 weeks 4 days) From Kiwi House Sitters
Ian & Liz, thank you for the lovely review and WE are still in decline after leaving Rockie!
Gail and Bruno are very gentle and kind people and they did an amazing job looking after our property and caring for the animals. From our first meeting we knew everything was going to be in very good hands and while we were away on our holiday we felt completely at ease knowing that they fed the hens and cat and walked the dog every day. They really love animals and Patsy our dog missed them when terribly they left. Bruno mowed the lawns and weeded some gardens, while Gail kept the house ... MORE
 
CHRIS AND JOHN (Urenui Mimi North Island, Oct 2019 - 2 weeks 6 days) From Kiwi House Sitters
Thank you Chris & John for your lovely review and kind words.
Bruno and Gail were a delight to meet and have pet sit, they were great at communicating before and during the sit sending updates and photos. Always very loving to the pets and super gentle, would have them back in a heart beat.
 
BRIDGET (Sunnyhills North Island, Oct 2019 - 1 week) From Kiwi House Sitters
Bruno and Gail did an amazing job looking after our dog & house while we were away, we could not ask for anything more!! They even made sure there were the essentials in the fridge when we got back. The house was spotless and the garden looked beautiful. Our dog was very happy and she had a great time while we were away. Bruno and Gail are a friendly, down to earth, trustworthy and lovely couple who we would welcome back into our home at anytime
 
JACQUI (Taringa QLD, May 2019 - 3 weeks)
Thank you Jacqui for your kind review. It was our pleasure to be looking after your beautiful home and of course Mya.
Bruno and Gail were absolutely delightful. Whilst they were here they had some challenges with our poddy calf and had to become vet nurses and all round doctors.....they handled the situation with great care of our animals. They were both easy to talk to and easy to have a great laugh with. We would recommend Gail and Bruno at the drop of a hat.
 
BRYANT AND SUSIE (Kin Kin QLD, Jan 2019 - 6 days)
Recommending a fabulous couple for any house sit. Bruno and Gail were wonderful from the start, from prompt initial communication to messages and photos of our boy while we were away. The house and yard were immaculate, everything was perfect. It was wonderful to see our boy Rusty so happy and relaxed when we returned. We would have Bruno and Gail house sit anytime in the future as we are very confident in their professionalism approach to house sitting and they obviously take pride in what ... MORE
 
DANIEL (Ashmore QLD, Jan 2019 - 2 weeks)
We can't speak highly enough of Gail and Bruno and the excellent care they provided to our two labradors and our home for two weeks. After a previous bad experience with house sitters we were apprehensive, however Gail and Bruno instantly put our minds at ease. They are absolute professional house sitters and genuine, trustworthy people. They provided updates and pictures as we requested throughout our holiday, they treated our dogs with such love and care and were very respectful of our home. ... MORE
 
DAYLE (Palmview QLD, Dec 2018 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Bruno and Gail were our first Housesitters using "Aussie House Sitters" and we are ever so grateful that fate had brought us together. We were understandably nervous about leaving our home with people we had never met before, however leading up to the period Bruno and Gail did everything possible to temper our nerves. They were in France at the time of responding to our email and called us in person at our request to introduce themselves. We made a time to meet for coffee shortly afterwards ... MORE
 
MARK AND KAREN (Arundel QLD, Dec 2018 - 2 weeks 3 days)
Thank you Mark & Karen for your kind words. It was a pleasure caring for your little crew and your lovely home.
No rating Wow, as a first time Aussie House Sitter I was a little hesitant, but after meeting Gail and Bruno my mind was soon put to ease and we had made the perfect choice. The house was immaculate on return and our dogs even looked disappointed that it was us that walked through the front door and not Gail and Bruno, this made me a little jealous but I soon realised that this was a good thing as they must have been very well cared for. I cannot recommend or thank them enough and would not hesitate to ... MORE
HELEN (Mount Victoria NSW, Nov 2017)
No rating Gail and Bruno house sat for me in November, and I can never give them a high enough praise and gratitude. I found them great communicators and felt immediately that they would be good house sitters when we met up prior to the house sit. Nothing was too much for them. As the house sit unfolded my elderly dog became sick and they managed her so beautifully and with so much caring. It eventuated that my dog had a disease and I had to have her put down, cutting off my trip when I found out that ... MORE
ALISON (Nambour QLD, Oct 2017 - 1 week 2 days)
Gail and Bruno did a marvelous job of looking after our 2 Airedales Charlie Brown and Schroeder. Both the dogs were in excellent shape after their 5 weeks of being spoiled. On return our house was immaculate and thoughtfully some fresh fruit, vegies and milk were waiting in the fridge. We were extremely happy with Gail and Bruno and hope they are available next time we want to go away.
 
JOHN AND WENDY (The Palms QLD, Sep 2017 - 5 weeks)
No rating What a great couple! They are house-sitters PLUS and our house was a joy to return to and even the garden was immaculate. They were wonderful with our Labrador. We would love to have them back anytime-a pair of absolute gems!!
HELEN (Buderim QLD, Mar 2017 - 2 days)
We feel so fortunate to have had Bruno and Gail come and look after our much loved dog Charlie. While away they posted photos regularly with updates and we could see how happy she was with them. We arrived home to a very happy dog, beautifully mowed lawns and our house was immaculate. (Gleaming actually).They had stocked up our fridge and a lovely meal was waiting to welcome us home. They went far and beyond what was expected of them.It has been a privilege to meet Gail and Bruno and hope ... MORE
 
BRENT AND SUE (Grasstree Beach Mackay QLD, Feb 2017 - 2 weeks)
No rating Wow! What a lovely couple Gail and Bruno are. So warm and welcoming and immediately attentive to our dogs. I was genuinely touched by their kindness and generosity when I saw what they had done around our home and yard by helping out with tasks I hadn't been able to get to. This just shows what wonderful and genuine people they are to think of things like this. I wouldn't hesitate to have them sit again and I highly recommend them for any house sit. I am so grateful they were happy to help us ... MORE
GABRIELLE (Burnside QLD, Feb 2017 - 1 day)
No rating Gail and Bruno were exceptional house sitters. They responded to communications promptly and took the time to meet with us in person prior to the sit. Our cats took to Gail and Bruno immediately and we had no hesitation leaving the cats in their care. The house was immaculate (probably cleaner than when we left!) and attention to details, e.g. washing the sheets, was appreciated. We have no hesitation in endorsing Gail and Bruno as house sitters and pet carers of the highest standard and ... MORE
