Glenys and Ivan are exceptional. A fter an initial stay of two weeks, I was so lucky they were able to return and stay longer during Covid lockdown and whilst I was home. They are fun loving, energetic, and enthusiastic and always looking for something to do to help particularly in the garden. They are great with the animals, and soo helpful. I cannot recommend Glenys and Ivan highly enough. Their integrity is beyond reproach. They have their large motor home and maintain your ... MORE
 
ANNIE (MIDDLE BROOK NSW, Jun 2021 - 1 week 5 days)
Thank you Annie for your excellent review. You are such an amazing lady and soo kind in allowing us to stay at your property while in lock down. We loved looking after the animals, in our previous sit, and pottering in garden, and we appreciate you letting us make new gardens and let us treat ... MORE
Gleny’s and Ivan were FANTASTIC pet sitters, our stock horse Fez, Shetland pony Apollo, little horse Bravo, chickens and pet pig 🐖 Tucker we’re all taken care of while we went for a short 3 day break. We felt comfortable and right at ease with Ivan and Gleny’s it was like having family members stay. I would HIGHLY recommend to all people wanting the best care for there pets whilst away on a holiday. Thank you both so much for choosing to look after our animals and home. X
 
HALEY (Greta NSW, Nov 2023 - 3 nights)
Glenys and Ivan were house and elderly dog sitting for us for 8 weeks. During this time they kept our house and garden beautifully, plus our old dog was walked daily and thoroughly spoilt so he did not worry! I would thoroughly recommend Glenys and Ivan as great housesitters!
 
KATHRYN (Arcadia Vale NSW, Mar 2023 - 8 weeks)
Glenys & Ivan where amazing house sitters - the Best. We where aWay for Christmas holidays for 4 weeks and Glenys and Ivan maintained our house, yard, our two small dogs, large set of avaries with finches, gardens and our small airbnb guest house which was booked quite heavily for a couple of weeks. Glenys and Ivan where great communicators and always made sure we where updated on how things where going at home. When we arrived home our house and property was spotless it was lovely to come ...

NANCY (Cessnock NSW, Dec 2022 - 4 weeks)
Glynis and Ivan took amazing care of the house and animals. Ivan did all sorts of outdoor tidying and cleaning in garden and pool area. Glynis left the house spic and span. The animals were all happy. Couldn't ask for anymore!!
 
LINDA (Cobbitty NSW, Dec 2022 - 1 week)
Glenys and Ivan are the best house sitters anyone could ask for. They looked after our home and 5 dogs. While we were away we had massive winds which caused extensive damage to our home, also without power or water for a few days. Glenys and Ivan contacted us as well organising SES, Neighbours etc. We were in contact constantly making sure they had the help they needed especially to make sure themselves and the animals were safe. Glenys and Ivan are extremely wonderful house sitters in ... MORE
 
GAE (Razorback NSW, Nov 2022 - 14th - 26th Nov 2022)
We are extremely lucky to have found Glenys and Ivan. They were the perfect house sitters and we returned to find our place in excellent shape. They did a number of little tasks that we would never expect a house sitter to do such as cleaning the Window in the fire place etc. We returned home after a long trip to a delightful surprise of fresh sandwiches and soup. Such a lovely thoughtful and much appreciated touch. Thank you both.
 
PAUL (Buttaba NSW, Aug 2022 - 6 weeks)
Glenys and Ivan came at short notice to look after our 10 Banded Galloways and 4 random sheep, together with the household manager - our tabby cat, while we took advantage of an opportunity to visit friends and family in two short trips away. They took over seamlessly, managed all the challenges without fuss and coped with us popping back in for a few days between trips. Glenys and Ivan manicured the garden and mowed all our lawns, leaving everything looking spectacular. We, and the ... MORE
 
ROSEMARY (Moss Vale NSW, Aug 2022 - 2 weeks)
Arrived home to a beautiful clean apartment and one very very happy cat. Would recommend Glenys and Ivan in a heartbeat. Thanks for taking such great care of our place is much appreciated.
 
JANELLE (Adelaide SA, Apr 2022 - 10 Days)
Glenys & Ivan were incredible careers. They came over the house to meet our dogs ahead of time and learn about their routine. They kept us updated while we were away and took excellent care of the house. We came back to a sparkling clean house and tidy garden. I cannot recommend them enough. Both are lovely and went beyond our expectations.
 
STEPHANIE (Harrington Park NSW, Dec 2021 - 3 weeks)
Glenys + Ivan were wonderful cat + flat sitters. Communication ahead of the stay was really easy and the whole process quite easy for my first time using this site. They took wonderful care of my home and really went over and above in their care. I cleaned the night before they came and I think my unit was even cleaner than I left it when I got back. It was sparkling. I hope they enjoyed their stay. I would recommend them to anyone!
 
FELICITY (Bondi NSW, Dec 2021 - 3 days)
I can highly recommend Glenys as a pet and house sitter. I can home to a very happy kitty and my home was immaculate. I would definitely book her again.
 
TANYA (Coogee NSW, Nov 2021 - 3 days)
It was an absolute pleasure to have Glenys and Ivan House Sit for us. I highly recommend them!!!! After 2 weeks being at home I keep finding wonderful surprises in my garden - especially jobs that I hadn't completed before we left. Delightful and interesting people. You wont be disappointed at having them House Sit for you. Thank you Glenys and Ivan!
 
JUDE (Tamworth NSW, Jun 2021 - 4 weeks)
Hi Jude and John Thank you, it was our pleasure to help you out. It was such an easy sit in a beautiful area and such a lovely well cared for property. Thank you for the use of vehicle much appreciated. It was a pleasure meeting you both, and so pleased you enjoyed your break away. Cheers ... MORE
Glenys and Ivan are truly unique people. When out of a normal house sit - because of Covid - a veritable emergency developed our house sitters proofed to be the most reliable and dependable partners anyone could hope for. While we were stuck in Europe for eight months Glenys and Ivan ran our hospitality business, did a fantastic job maintaining the property (it looked a lot better than when we left) and looked after our horses. To make things even more challenging decided to sell the property ... MORE
 
BRIGITTA AND DANIEL (Pokolbin NSW, Jan 2020 - 9 months)
Hi Daniel and Brigitta Thank you for your excellent review. We have enjoyed our time here immensely and love the property and have enjoyed gardening and looking after Jack and Jill. All the best for your retirement and if and when you back in Oz again we will love to catch up. Glenys and Ivan
Glenys and Ivan were excellent sitters for our recent trip to India. They are ideal house sitters, they come in with a large motor van and are very much self sufficient. They took very good care of our home and pets and keep the garden green in light of the heat, fires and water restrictions. We were very happy upon our return with the house and yard very clean. Our pets managed the disruption and are all happy. I would strongly recommend both Glenys and Ivan to take good care of your home ... MORE
 
BRENT (Ellis Lane NSW, Dec 2019 - 2 weeks 4 days)
Fabulous house sitters. Dogs happy & well cared for. Garden immaculate. House cleaner than when we left. Hope to be able to use them again.
 
JANE (Boat Harbour NSW, Jul 2019 - 7 weeks)
What can I say.... Glenys and Ivan were amazing! My gardens have never looked better!!! Dogs were happy and the sheep and chooks! I love it when house sitters organize us better than how we had it!!! Fixed the back gate to a better system! Cleaned up our front veranda! Just wonderful and really lovely people. Felt very much at ease with this couple. They are welcome anytime if they need a stop over!!!
 
KERRY AND BUTCH (Bobs Farm NSW, Jun 2019 - 9 days)
We have found the most amazing couple to house and pet sit.. Glenys and Ivan were above and beyond my expectations. We came home and didn't have to do a thing. House lawn and gardens were immaculate and not expected.. the pets were all happy and content. Thanks again Glenys and Ivan.. see you next time.
