Hi folks, we are a retired couple travelling Australia in our caravan. We are very dedicated animal lovers and make excellent carers. We would look after your home and pets as if they were our own.
John has extensive experience operating a ride on mower, brush cutter and yard maintenance. We are very house proud and also competent in pool maintenance.
We both have professional backgrounds. John is an experienced carpenter originally from a farming background. We are non smokers and would love the opportunity to be your house sitter.
We have completed many sits, so we come with experience. All our house sits require off street parking for our 20ft caravan.

John & Trish were wonderful right from the start & such a pleasure to deal with, it was great to meet them in person to do a hand Over, nothing was a bother.
Jersey & Diesel were happy & comfortable with them upon meeting! A great sign.

Such excellent communication from start to finish, we loved our updates during our time away, especially when there were storms and how our border collies were coping.
When we returned, our home was left beautifully clean, neat and tidy, nothing out of place, mail collected, lawns mowed, jersey & diesel looking fabulous.
Thanks again, we would love to have you care for our home & animals again if the opportunity came up.
If we could give Trish and John a rating of 20 out of 10 we would they are that amazing !!! They looked after our 7 brm house on 5 acres and 3 of our dogs for 6 wks whilst we were in Europe. Whilst we were away one of our dogs had to go to the Vet for emergency surgery due to bladder stones then 3 weeks later another of our dogs started vomiting and diarrhoea one evening and had to be rushed to the emergency vet as he had swallowed a Cane Toad.

They looked after our 7 brm house on 5 acres and 3 of our dogs for 6 wks whilst we were in Europe. Whilst we were away one of our dogs had to go to the Vet for emergency surgery due to bladder stones then 3 weeks later another of our dogs started vomiting and diarrhoea one evening and had to be rushed to the emergency vet as he had swallowed a Cane Toad. In addition our water pump failed which means no water to the house and they had to get a plumber in to have it replaced . Whilst all of this was happening they kept us fully informed by email. On top of this John mowed our 2 acre lawn regularly. The house was kept immaculately and our dogs loved them. They are our sitters of choice in future.
JOHN (Chevallum QLD, Dec 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
We were so lucky to have John and Trish as our very first house sitters. They looked after our dog Charlie and four horses brilliantly. We so enjoyed meeting them and they even provided lots of advice on caravanning.
Anyone would be extremely lucky to have John and Trish look after their pets and home. They are extremely experienced and you just know that your pets and house are in good hands when you go away.
We hope they will house sit for us again!
AMANDA (O'Connell NSW, Dec 2023 - 1 week 3 nights)
We're very glad John & Trish responded to our ad. We felt completely comfortable leaving our 2 labradors with them, one being only 20 weeks old at the time. They loved spending time with the dogs and were walked daily. The house was spotless when we arrived home which is always a nice way to return from holidays. We would highly recommend them both for a house sit and hope our paths cross with them again. Mel & Bill (And Archie & Tarni) xx

This was our first time using house/pet sitters and I must say we struck gold with John and Trish. They were a pleasure to deal with from the start, great communication and just really genuine lovely people.
They cared for our two dogs Harry and Gus as if they were their own pets. Gus is a special needs dog, having Diabetes - John and Trish administered the injections and strict diet with ease.

The house was immaculate when we returned, with the washing done and the garden perfect. The dogs were so happy which indicated to us how well John and Trish cared for them. Gus and Harry were sad to see them go.
We would highly recommend John and Trish. If you are lucky enough to have them sit your home/pets you will have a wonderful experience. We hope to see them soon xx
HEIDI (Commissariat Point SA, Aug 2023 - 2 weeks 3 nights)
1st time for me using House Sitters and had an excellent experience and would most definitely recommend Trish and John for any type of house and pet sitting. They were very respectful, friendly, extremely clean, professional and caring especially in looking after my fur baby (Cookie). They kept in touch with me with photos and anything that needed seeing to. Cookie will definitely miss them. My house was left spotlessly clean and they went out of the way to look after my home as their own.

We were away for 3 weeks, and they kept us up to date with photos of our beautiful Cha, and letting us know how everything was going at home. We came home to a spotlessly clean home and a very contented dog. They had even left a beautiful bunch of native flowers for us and a gorgeous laminated poster with pics of Cha, and a lovely thank you note. We would love to have them back again for future house sits, and definitely recommend them to others. Thanks again John & Trish, for making our holiday stress free!

John & Trish were wonderful house sitters - going far above and beyond what was expected of them. They did much more than just house sit for us - they communicated well, cleaned and respected our home, and were a pleasure to have around. They are obviously very experienced, very considerate and very caring. We would highly recommend John & Trish to anyone wanting an honest, reliable and caring house sitter.
DAVID (Fig Tree Pocket QLD, Apr 2023 - 7 days)
Trish & John were excellent housesitters and i would really recommend them. Our home and Stanley were well taken care off and Stanley absolutely loved them. I will definitely be using John and Trish again in the future.

We highly recommend John and Trish. They are second to none! Thank you for taking such excellent care of our house and dogs, Buddy and Hamish for 3 1/2 weeks while we holidayed in UK and Europe.

The house was immaculate when we arrived home and gardens had been well looked after. Our swimming pool was spotless when we got home and that was after they had had a big storm come through. Our neighbours had nothing but positive things to say about John and Trish and said how friendly they were. We will definitely use them again and know that the dogs were well looked after! Thanks again for being such fantastic house sitters!
DAVINA (Narangba QLD, Dec 2022 - 3 1/2 weeks)
Thanks to John & Trish the very capable Housesitters who looked after our mare & foal, watered the garden & verandah plants.
We came home after a week away to find our property as we left it including our large inground pool. Would be happy to recommend them.
CHRIS (Grantham/Helidon QLD, Dec 2022 - 1 week)
John and Trish were absolute super star sitters. The communication was fantastic as was the care of our house and two dogs. Couldn't ask for anymore and would highly recommend and well them back at anytime at all.
PETER (Capertee NSW, Nov 2022 - 1 week 5 days)
We had John and Trish looking after our cat and house and couldn't be happier. Bandit (the cat) even put on weight which was needed. The place looks wonderful and they kept us informed the whole 2 weeks. The peace of mind that having them there was one thing but to come back and see that lawns are done, bandit is happy and everything is looked after and clean was fantastic. I can't thank them enough. All the best for where ever you go. Cheers Carolyn and Steve
CAROLYN (Northdown TAS, Oct 2022 - 2 weeks)
Omg what wonder sitters. Came home to an immaculate clean house gardens and paddocks and horse were just wonderful. So easy to communicate with and I must admit my house was better than I had left it. Anyone who has need of house sitters these are the best
BEV (Forcett TAS, May 2022 - 3 months 3 weeks)
John and Trish were impeccable house and pet sitters in every way, easy to get to know, pleasant and unobtrusive. We would have no hesitation in having them to sit again and have no hesitation in recommending them as reliable, friendly sitters who go above and beyond what is required. We even came home to a lovely bunch of flowers and a card, a very pleasant and unexpected gesture!
LOU (Relbia TAS, Apr 2022 - 1 week)
John and Trish were excellent in every way. Prompt with their communication, attentive to our pets and mindful of their dietary needs and their need for regular walks and ball play. On our return both Lulu and Heidi were relaxed and happy, Exactly what any pet owner wants.
Our home and garden was exactly as we left it immaculately clean and tidy.
Thank you both.
MARIE (Warrnambool VIC, Mar 2022 - 2 weeks 4 days)
John and Trish were wonderful Housesitters and we would gladly have them again. Their communication was brilliant and they looked after our animals like their own. They had their own van and so it was very easy to accommodate them. Very much appreciated!
BERNADETTE (Bondoola QLD, Feb 2022 - 4 days)
John and Trish were amazing house sitters. Such care and love for our little fur baby Teddy and our turtle turbo. Our dog warmed to Trish and John straight away and we loved the couple of photos through out our trip to keep us updated. Thank you so much! Wonderful people to meet and get to know and took fantastic care of our home with the highest of integrity. Would highly recommend John and Trish for any house sit and would have them back in a heartbeat! Thanks again!
DANIEL (bellmere QLD, Dec 2021 - 6 days)
John and Trish were fantastic sitters. Our fur and feathered babies were will looked and loved. Sophie our spoodle loved following Trish everywhere, it was like having a second mum. We are so thankful, everyone was cared for and great communication and very easy to talk to. We highly recommend John and Trish, and we will be looking forward to having them back on our next holiday. A big thanks
It was such a pleasure having John and Trish look after our home while we were away.
The yard and gardens were very looked after while we were away and house was lovely and clean.
Such a lovely couple would be a pleasure to have them house sit anytime. Even though they didn't get to mind the fur babies they took to them very quickly and know they would be in good hands when John and Trish housesit next time
PETA (Nebo QLD, Oct 2021 - 1 week 1 day)
John and Trish where great house sitters. Unfortunately I was away and never got tot meet them.
I am still to return home but my husband said the house and garden were left in great condition and well looked after.
John and Trish were very accomodating on very short notice and even returned to help us out some more after having to leave to do another sit. Communication was great and whenever I needed anything done it was done straight
away.

What a pleasure to have the house and our best mate taken care of by John and Trish. Lovely to return home to a home, yard and gardens that were so well looked after. Zac our dog was spoilt rotten. We highly recommend John and Trish as house sitters and if the opportunity arises would love to have them house sit again for us.
MAREE (Emu Park QLD, Jun 2021 - 7 weeks)
John and Trish house sat for us for 4 days. They were fabulous, the house and garden were clean and tidy and Hurley was sad to see them go. We would definitely have them house sit for us again.
LYNN (Hervey Bay QLD, Jun 2021 - 4 days)
A big thank you to John & Trish for looking after our animals and farm while we were away, they did an amazing job. I think the dogs missed them when they left and we look forward to the next time they are here.
JULIE (Ironpot QLD, Jun 2021 - 3 days)
Green garden!
Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
