On a house-sit right now
Happy to Assist While you Adventure
Business Consultant and Mindset Coach
Hello, In October 2019 I relocated back to Australia after extensive time overseas. House and pet sitting has been a great way to settle back into Australian society, while working (mostly) remotely, building my business.
I am active, non smoking, reliable, fun, kind and honest. I love travel, people, animals, new experiences and locations.
It is always gratifying to look after houses and animals the way that owners prefer. I have extensive house and pet sitting experience. and enjoy farm sits also.
If you are interested in offering a Northern NSW sit please know I only travel the distance to the Northern Rivers region at this time. There is no way on this site for us to indicate a smaller subgroup of Northern NSW. Apologies for any inconvenience.
I look forward to meeting you.
Best & thanks, Jacqui

Jacqui was a fantastic sitter, and made the time to come and check out our property before we left, and run through things at handover. This really put us at ease for an extended sit.
The house was in great shape on return, and our dog Norbert was clearly well looked after and with no noticetable change in discipline - a clear sign that he had great care and attention. We'll certainly reach out to Jacqui directly for future sits to check her availability.

Jacqui was very comfortable in administering the daily medication requirements for both our fur babies and she was more than happy to attend a vet’s appointment whilst we were away.
It was lovely to come home to two happy fur babies and a beautifully clean home. We look forward to using Jacqui for future sits.
DAWN (Redland Bay QLD, May 2023 - 4 weeks)
Jacqui has sat for us on two occasions, taking great care of our two dogs and our home. She treats our dogs as if they were her own. She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. Our dogs adore her and that means everything to us. While we were away for 5 weeks both dogs needed a trip to the vet and a parcel delivery had to be collected from the post office before our return date, neither of which were a problem. Her communication is excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away ... MOREJacqui has sat for us on two occasions, taking great care of our two dogs and our home.

LEE-ANNE (Brisbane QLD, Dec 2022 - 1 month 1 week)
Jacqui is our favourite house sitter! I plan my trips around her availability.
I couldn't recommend her enough. The house is always left exactly how I left it and Lola and Twistie are a always left happy and content.
10/10!

This site was referred to us by a friend and honestly we were very sceptical to have a total stranger stay in our lovely home and care for our pet dog Deezel.
But words cannot describe how great Jacqui was, she was super friendly from day one, awesome communication and kept us up to date throughout our trip. We came back to a lovely clean house and most importantly Deezel was super happy as she took him for daily walks and kept him company while we were away.

What an absolute delight.
Jacqui was reliable, happy, tidy, trustworthy, respectful and a great pal, to my dogs.
I couldn't recommend Jacqui, highly enough. I was very lucky to have her and hope she returns for another house sit.
10 out of 10.
VERONICA (Redcliffe QLD, Apr 2021 - 1 week 6 days - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Jacqui did a great job looking after our home ,garden and pets. Sorry I only got to meet her for a short time. Even though we had left when she arrived ,after a few phone calls and a visit from a friend Jacqui coped very well. Would love her to come and house sit anytime and highly recommend her.
DEBORAH (Cloyna QLD, Apr 2021 - 5 days)
Jacqui did an amazing job of looking after our house and beloved pets. She communicated really well, and was so easy to get along with. Our house was spotless when we arrived home, and our pets were happy and well looked after. We would have Jacqui back to housesit our pets again at any time. We would highly recommend her to anyone.
MONIQUE (UPPER KEDRON QLD, Apr 2021 - 1 week)
Jacqui was amazing I just wish we got to spend more time together she seems so lovely. Our pet was so happy and well cared for and our place was sparkling clean when we returned. Would highly recommend Jacqui for any future house sits. We would love to have Jacqui sit again.
Jacqui did an amazing job house sitting for me and looking after my 2 boys. She took excellent care of my home, and also managed the additional duties of medications. My 14 yr old Maltese X required injections, pain medication (for a cruciate ligament injury), and eye drops twice a day. He was to remain quiet with little or no exercise at all. Easier said than done when my other boy is a 1yr old very demanding Shih Tzu puppy. Jacqui took such good care of both meeting all their needs. Her ...

Easier said than done when my other boy is a 1yr old very demanding Shih Tzu puppy. Jacqui took such good care of both meeting all their needs. Her communication was amazing keeping me informed and even sent a photo or 2. Jacqui went above and beyond to make sure that my boys were happy and well cared for, she also took great care of my home. I would highly recommend Jacqui she is a genuinely caring, extremely capable, and considerate person.
SANDRA (Caboolture South QLD, Feb 2021 - 1 week)
This is the second time Jacqui has looked after my house and dogs and I can only endorse my first review. She is practical, good humoured and reliable. I've already asked her to sit during my next holiday because I am confident that I can leave everything in safe hands.

We arrived home to a ridy and spotless house and Jacqui had eveb nade up the bed with fresh linen for us to slide into upon our return home.
Trust me - if you have quirky pets needing care, Jacqui can do it!!
DUNCAN (Woolloongabba QLD, Jan 2021 - 1 week)
Jacqui was terrific from our first contact. Communication and arrangements were clear and ready. Jacqui care of our home and 5 pets( plus the goldfish) was considerate and comprehensive. Our old big dog, attention loving little dog, two cats with their own likes and dislikes and a very young playful kitten all loved her and thrived in her care.

LOUISE (Tarragindi QLD, Jan 2021 - 1 week)
Jacqui looked after our home & our 3 fur babies whilst we were on holiday. She was great, she is a very good communicator & a lovely, trustworthy person. I would definitely use her again in the future.
DEEPA (Mango Hill QLD, Jan 2021 - 5 days)
Jacqui was very easy going and such a delight to deal with. Excellent communication all the way through and we felt very comfortable leaving our pets and space in her capable hands. Pets were very calm and happy when we returned and looked like they were searching for her tha day after she left.....Would definitely have Jacqui back again and recommend her to any other customer. Very happy. Thankyou Jacqui!!
SUE (Albany Creek QLD, Dec 2020 - 1 week 1 day)
Jacqui was fabulous. She was a pleasure to deal with, communicated fast and efficiently and is a lovely person. The house was left neat and tidy but best of all she gave our dig lots of walks, cuddles and love. We would have Jacqui back any day.
PIA (Samford Valley QLD, Dec 2020 - 1 week 4 days)
I have no hesitation in recommending Jacqui as a housesitter. She looked after my house and my two dogs and I'd be very happy if she was able to sit for us again. She is a friendly, positive and energetic person. A pleasure to meet.
DEBRA (Ferny Grove QLD, Nov 2020 - 5 days - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
I was very lucky to find Jacqui to housesit for me recently, she took excellent care of my cat & love birds, plants were healthy & my house immaculate as it's on the market & chance of potential buyers checking it out.
I would certainly recommend Jacqui for any house sitting & would be glad to have her back again!
MAUREEN (Clontarf QLD, Oct 2020 - 5 days)
Thank you Maureen :-)
Jacqui was absolutely amazing. Her communication pre, during and after her stay was exceptional- which made us feel our dog (Sushi) and house were in safe hands. Our house was left in an extremely clean state. I highly recommend Jacqui as a house and pet sitter.
MEGAN (Forest Lake QLD, Oct 2020 - 2 days)
Jacqui is very caring of both our little dog and our home. Very easy to communicate with. Highly recommend.
DONNA (Bribie Island QLD, Sep 2020 - 3 days)
I met Jacqui before we went away and instantly knew I had the right person to keep an eye on my property when I went away. She communicates really well and left the property how she found it. It was so nice knowing she was there while my family travelled. I highly recommend Jacqui as a house sitter. On top of this she's a lovely person.
JIM (Wynnum West QLD, Aug 2020 - 7 days)
Jacqui was a wonderful housesitter for my cats and garden.
She was very easy to communicate with all through the process as well.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jacqui for your house sit.

MARGIE (Newmarket QLD, Aug 2020 - 4 days)
Highly recommended Jacqui to anyone requiring a house sitter. Jacqui looked after our home and German Shepard for 8 weeks during our trip across Australia.we felt at ease with her eagerness to learn every aspect of the running of our home. From caring for the pool, gardens, and irrigation systems to the daily needs of our family dog Buddy. Jacqui was amazing with her communications and happily took care of any unexpected items that required attention. We are hoping to have her back in January ...

The house was spotless - cleaner than how I left it, and she took very good care of our items and gave a thorough handover once we got home.
Nothing was a problem, communication and updates were perfect!
I hope we can have Jacqui back in the near future, we were so lucky to have found her!
JACINTA (Copacabana NSW, Jan 2020 - 1 week 2 days)
Jacqui was fabulous in looking after the house and the dog. The house was left in an immaculate state and the dog put on a little weight. Jacqui followed all our instructions and kept us updated with all what's going on while we were away. She is a very caring and fun person to be with. She is always welcome in our house, not only for house sitting or dog sitting but as a friend.
ANNETTE (Vaucluse NSW, Dec 2019 - 3 weeks)
Jacqui was fantastic with our animals and the house. She kept us updated throughout the stay and everything was well looked after. She clearly really enjoyed the time with our animals which is important to us and them. I don't think Sparky even missed us. We would definitely have her back.
NATASHA (North Cronulla NSW, Nov 2019 - 1 week)
Thank you so kind. I did enjoy them & Spaky won my heart
Green garden!
Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
