Due to Martyn having to go offshore for 8 months & now sitting in New Zealand, I am now currently seeking paid House sitting Assignments on my own from the 17th July 2025 .
I charge $2.10 per hour for a 24 hour period which equates to $50 per day. I have my own car & am currently house sitting in the Sutherland Shire.

We are Jane and Martyn Lockwood and are experienced House/Petsitters. We are non-smokers & have been happily married for 42 years.
After House sitting in Spain, UK & Australia, we understand the importance of what you leave behind, beloved animals and a home/garden in which you invested time and money. We have the experience to proactively provide the companionship, care and structure your pets deserve and also care for your home, gardens, and plants as if they were our own. We take great pride in our integrity, honesty, and reliability.

As long-term responsible homeowners both in the UK & in Spain, we have renovated two Apartments into holiday accommodation which has included many years of us successfully running a Retreat, managing guests and housekeeping. Our Home Business (which we have now sold) was currently on the TripAdvisor Website with 2017, 2018 & a current 2019 "Certificate of Excellence" & all were Five Star Reviews for all our hard work. We have looked after our own Swimming Pool for 18 years and did a lot of the maintenance & gardening ourselves.

Our only daughter owns "Hutwoods" in Caringbah, Sydney & we have now moved over permanently to Australia and are currently house sitting together full time as a life style choice.

OUR EXPERIENCE.

We also have our own Facebook page/group called "Sutherland shire House and Pet Sitting Services" with lots of our latest 2019/2022 and 2023 wonderful endorsements & photos.

We have owned & fostered many feral cats & dogs. We have been lucky enough to share our world with Siamese, Balinese, Ragdoll, Birman & Tiffanie cats. We enjoy visiting the parks & beaches and going for walks.
We provide references from previous sits (we belong to other sites and not all current reviews/endorsements are listed here) and all costs/travel are covered by ourselves. Up to date 2024 International Australian Police check, Also Spanish & English Current Police checks available. Breakfast at Tiffanies has a FB page.
We really hope you will consider us to be your House/Pet sitters and look forward to meeting you all. Please see the short video in my photos.

It was a pleasure to come back to my home and find it beautifully clean and tidy. Jane was very organised all the way through our arrangements prior to her arrival and then while I was away she messaged me intermittently just to let me know everything was fine and my pussycat was very happy: she even started sleeping on the bed with Jane, which is a true sign of trust in my cat. Thank you, Jane. I'm looking forward to the next opportunity to have you back!

Thank you so much for taking the time & trouble to write this review for us. It means a lot. I loved taking care of Tia in your beautiful home & garden and hope to help out again soon. Thank you also for the detailed manual & for going through everything with me.
We were very happy with Jane and Martyn's house sit. House was clean and tidy when we returned and designated 'chores' were completed. Communication was their strong point. We would recommend them for a future house sit.
 
NETTIE/GRAHAME (Wauchope NSW, Oct 2019 - 6 days)
Thank you for taking the time & trouble for writing this review for us. We had a lovely time at this house sit. Nettie & Grahame have a beautiful home in large grounds. They also have an amazing extensive veggie garden and lots of indoor & outdoor pot plants. We enjoyed caring for their 10 hens ... MORE
Jane has just completed a house sit for us and i cannot express how wonderful and delighted we were with the caring and loving she gave our 2 very spoilt puppies, tropical fish and our garden. We can highly recommend Jane for any house sit that is required. She is returning to do another sit for us in January. Dianne and Paul

Jane sat for us over the Christmas and New Years 2018/2019. No words can express my gratitude and gratefulness to Jane; not only did she help us with our rescue dog, she cared for our home like her own. The little things like photo updates and messages helped a lot and were very much appreciated. Jane is extremely trustworthy, tidy and neat. She left our home in pristine condition on the day we returned, including doing all laundry!!! We absolutely loved having Jane help us out. We felt at ... MORE

Thank you both so very much for taking the time & trouble to write us this wonderful review!! It makes our house sitting experiences even more incredible. Thank you again & hope our paths cross in the future.
I used Jane to house/dog sit while I visited my daughter in Canada over Christmas. I think my dog Wheatley was thoroughly spoiled and so well looked after by Jane. My house is spotless and I've been spoiled with a beautiful handmade candle on my return. Jane kept me up to date with a few photos over my time away which was lovely. I thoroughly recommend Jane and would definitely have her look after my home again if the need arises.
