Happy pet and house sitters

late 6O's, Retired

Hello, we are Helen and Adrian who have recently retired from full-time work. Our past experiences caring for people's homes and pets has proved very rewarding and we are looking forward to a more leisurely lifestyle and the opportunity to see parts of Australia we have yet to visit. We are a reliable, non-smoking couple (married for 40+ years), who enjoy an active lifestyle and believe mutual goodwill, trust and respect are essential components for successful house sitting.

Prior to moving interstate because of Adrian's job as a Project Manager, Helen worked in the Physiotherapy department of a Melbourne rehab hospital, then as a hydrotherapy assistant at a special needs school in Brisbane, followed by retirement after moving to Sydney where we downsized to an apartment, so unfortunately no more pets. Interests include playing tennis, badminton, gardening, walking, volunteering for community projects, traveling and socialising with friends and family. With three independent adult children (and five grandchildren) all living in Melbourne, we have recently returned to our family home after living in Sydney for 12 years.

We have excellent reviews from previous homeowners and are committed to providing a high standard of attention and care for your pets and your home.

No rating Helen and Adrian are excellent sitters. I returned to find the cats contented and my home as I left it. They are great company and were kind enough to take me to the local Thai restaurant on their last night here. I would happily have them here again and can highly recommend them.

Helen and Adrian were brilliant house sitters - they took fabulous care of our pets and house! We recommend them without reservation and hope they might be available next time we go on holiday!
 
JONATHAN (Hawthorn VIC, Dec 2023 - 1 week)
Helen and Adrian were wonderful, friendly, responsible and very organised housesitters. They looked after our dog very well and took great care of our house, leaving it tidier than we'd left it! They were very easy to communicate with and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Thanks Tracey for making this house sit a breeze. Charlie is a well behaved companion and we were very comfortable in your lovely home. Your positive review is much appreciated. Cheers, Helen and Adrian
Helen and Adrian were great carers for our two Golden Retrievers, Sara and Meike. Our home was immaculate to come home to. Helen even managed to 'tame the chaos" of my Tupperware cupboards! We look forward to having Helen and Adrian return in the future, knowing that we can go away with confidence. .

Thanks Helen and Adrian for looking after Roman and Audrey and my home so well. The cats were very relaxed when I arrived home and the house was as I had left it .... actually better! The Tupperware drawer was my first surprise, it had been organised, (one of those jobs I've been meaning to do) as was the troublesome 2nd and 3rd drawer and another. Thanks Helen it was a lovely surprise. I highly recommend Helen and Adrian for their communication and the sit.

Helen and Adrian were perfect house sitters who looked after our aging cat and energetic Kelpie. House was lovely and clean when we got back and place felt very welcoming. Pets were relaxed and happy. Highly recommend.

Helen and Adrian did a fantastic job caring for our house and cat while we were away on holiday. We felt so relieved getting photos and updates, their communication was really great. Thank you Helen and Adrian so much from us and Meepo!
 
HELENA (Chelsea VIC, Jul 2022 - 1 week 2 days)
We were very lucky to have Helen and Adrian housesit for us..The house was tidy and sparkling on our return home..The garden had been watered and the pets were well cared for. Helen sent me photos of Possum (our cat) who took a liking to them and was obviously comfortable in their presence. I highly recommend them for house sitting.

Thank you Julie, it was a pleasure meeting you and I also enjoyed traveling vicariously via your photos and memorabilia, especially after we have all been grounded in recent times. Best wishes, Helen
Helen and Adrian arrived the day I was leaving in time to meet, which was really appreciated. A wonderful couple, I was at ease straight away and left feeling sure that everything would be fine. The pups took to them straight away which was great. Communication was easy when I was away, and on my return, house etc was lovely and they had left meals for me in the fridge which was greatly appreciated on my arrival. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending them and would gladly have them visit us ... MORE

Thank you Jenni, Circumstances permitting, we would gladly return in future. H&A
Helen and Adrian were our first House Sitters and we couldn't have asked for a more trusting couple to look after our home and our beloved Greyhound. We came home to an extra clean house, a happy Greyhound and some lovely treats for us! We couldn't recommend them highly enough.
 
CHRISTINA (TERRIGAL NSW, Mar 2022 - 6 days)
An ideal outcome for both parties- everyone is a winner!
Helen and Adrian were lovely guests who took great care in looking after our dogs and chickens., the dogs were treated to more walks than they get from their owners and were very content on our return. The communication with them was excellent and easy, we felt very comfortable leaving the home in their care. They left our home clean and tidy with a lovely Thankyou gift. We would welcome them back any time

A win for owners/pets and sitters - the ideal outcome for all concerned!
