Irene & Jay

41, Teacher

44, Logistic supervisor

Hi, we are Irene and Jay!
We are an active couple who live on the Sunshine Coast for over 10 years.
I (Irene) am a Primary School Teacher who is passionate about teaching but also carries a warm heart to environment, sustainability, nature, animals. Currently I work parttime from home as a Distance Education Teacher.
I like to share my knowledge, learn from others, meet people, discover different cultures and learn new languages.
My partners name is Jay, an absolute animal, nature and wildlife conservation enthusiast. He loves the outdoors, hiking and scuba diving.
He has a friendly and caring personality.
His work experience is in the tourism industry and logistics and Jay is a licensed snake catcher.
He volunteered at Australia Zoo, a wildlife rescue organisation and helped the coral restoration foundation in the Caribbean.

We take care of your house as it is our own. We are a non smoking couple, no party people!

After an extended holiday overseas, we can't wait to return back to Australia early 2024.

We can provide plenty of references if needed :)
Please have a look at our profile for previous reviews.

Looking forward to meet you and your furry friends in the near future!

Irene and Jay are a lovely, respectful couple. They had a big job looking after our place especially the yard. With the hot weather and the rain we know that keeping up with yard maintenance is challenging. However they handled it very well. We came back to a clean house and a well kept yard. Communication was easy and they always responded promptly. We would highly recommend Irene and Jay and hope they will be available for any future housesits.

Irene and Jay are a lovely couple and communicated with us really well. We had no physical handover but did a few FaceTime calls and left sitting notes. During the sit Irene regularly sent us photos of our pets. The pets were so well taken care of with our dog getting plenty of walks. When we got home the house was really clean, all the linen and towels already washed. The lawns cut and the garden maintained. We would really highly recommend them as pet and house sitters.
 
PAUL (Craignish QLD, Jan 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
Irene & Jay were such a blessing for our family. Thanks to their love and care of our dogs and home, we were able to get away for a holiday without any of the usual stresses. They did a wonderful job bonding with our dogs and really cared to know their needs & wants. They maintained a great level of communication, keeping us updated with videos and photos. Our home and gardens were immaculately cared for, and they took such great care of our plants also. In every way, this was a great first ... MORE

Irene & Jay were excellent house and pet sitters for us. The communication was clear and regular , our 18yr old cat was very spoilt and our big boy dog was in good hands. The house was left in a immaculate state . We would not hesitate to have Irene & Jay back again.
 
SCOTT (Hervey Bay QLD, Jan 2022 - 1 month 1 week)
We were so happy to have Irene and Jay stay in our house and look after our furballs. They took great care of our cat and dog and both furballs were happy as larry while we were away. I am an insane clean freak and our house was as we left it, when we returned. We communicated daily and Irene kept us up to date with photos and texts. I would be more than happy to have Irene and Jay stay again. Thanks guys

RACHEL (Reedy Creek QLD, Oct 2021 - 2 days)
Irene and Jay took such good care of my dog Bruce. I was anxious to leave him as he'd only ever stayed with family previously but they sent regular updates and photos during the stay. Communication prior to the stay and during was excellent and made things so easy to organise and really put my mind at ease when we were away knowing Bruce was getting lots of love and attention. The house was left perfect, clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend Irene and Jay to house sit and would love to ... MORE

DANIELLE (Petrie Terrace QLD, May 2021 - 3 days)
Irene & Jay were amazing! They looked after our house with such respect and left it spotless when they left. It was so nice to see our dogs looking so happy when we got home eventhough it wasn't us looking after them. We receive regular photos and communication. I would definitely want Irene and Jay to stay again.
 
WHITNEY (Ashmore QLD, Jan 2021 - 3 days)
No rating Irene was amazing from the first contact. I came home to a spotless house and two very spoilt cats. I would happily recommend Irene and Jay to anyone looking for a house sitter. Absolutely amazing people who even went to the trouble to send updated photos of our cats most days.

Lovely couple looked after our two dogs and four chickens. Very comfortable and easy going house sitters as is our first time on this site and consider our dogs as children. Would recommend for future and friends
 
JESSICA (Ninderry QLD, Feb 2020 - 1 week)
Irene and Jay were excellent house sitters. They kept our house and yard immaculate and looked after our pets as if they were their own. They sent us regular updates and photos on how our cat was going, which our son loved. They went above and beyond to take care of our home. I would welcome them back any time.
 
OLIVIA (Beerwah QLD, Jan 2020 - 2 weeks 3 days)
Irene and Jay were absolutely fantastic house sitters. This was our first time using a house sitter and we could not be more happy with how Irene and Jay treated our house and fur babies. They kept us up to date regularly on the house and the dogs were going which enabled us to have a relaxed holiday. Thank you for everything Irene and Jay. Would highly recommend to anyone else looking for a reliable house sitting couple!
