Lovers of animals and gardens

Studying part time / Health Practitioner

Health Practitioner

Hello,

We are both health professionals who love nature, absolutely adore all animals, enjoy living in a clean and harmonious environment and love to be surrounded by the peace of nature and country living.

We love plants, vegetable gardens and all living beings.

We are experienced sitters and would love to look after your family home, animals, garden or farm. We have happily looked after lands of various sizes, dogs, cats, birds, horses, cattle, chicken, fish, vegetables, fruit trees & beautiful gardens. We have experience with off grid properties and homes with solar power, water tanks and pumps and machineries etc.

Our personal favourite part of house-sitting is getting to know each personality of the animals we have looked after.
We still think about them and miss them.. We also appreciate the experience of seeing how various homes such as off grid ones are set up and new ways of looking after gardens such as permaculture and syntropic farming.

Thank you to all the wonderful homeowners we have met along the way. It has always been a rewarding experience. And we have made some beautiful friends and got to know some very lovely people that we would not have had the opportunity to meet otherwise.

Can provide police check and previous sit references.

Looking forward to have the opportunity to house sit for you.

Warmest regards and appreciation,
Oormie & Joseph

We feel incredibly grateful to have had Oormie and Joseph as our very first experience with having house sitters in our home! From the very first communication via text and our first meeting it was easy to tell that they are very special and caring people! Our 2 little fur babies were so content when we returned and our house was immaculate - better than it was when we left! One of our dogs requires frequent medication and that was done brilliantly! They communicated while we were away with ... MORE
 
MARIAN AND BILL (Ocean View QLD, Dec 2022 - 3 weeks)
this was our first time with Aussie Sitters & we are so thankful for the care Oormie & Joseph gave to our granddog Archie. Oormie sent updates & pics which we appreciated & could tell he was happy & being well looked after. (we think he misses them) We arrived home to a spotless house & a lovely treat & hoped they enjoyed their stay. We highly recommend them & hope they are available for future sittings.
 
BRIAN (Redcliffe QLD, Mar 2024 - 2 weeks 3 nights)
Oormie and Joseph have just completed a 3 month house sit for us while we travelled in Europe. On our return the house had been beautifully maintained but more importantly our aged, eccentric cat, Tiga, was very happy and relaxed in their care. The emails, photos and videos while we were away were really appreciated and we could enjoy our holiday knowing Tiga was content and well looked after. We would 100% use them again and would highly recommend them as sitters. Peace of mind is invaluable ... MORE
 
SHARON (Carseldine QLD, Jul 2023 - 3 months)
This was our 1st time using house sitters. Oormie and Joseph were absolutely wonderful, they came and met us and our 2 dogs before the house sit. They communicated with us and sent photos of our dogs, seeing the photos we knew that the dogs were very happy and this is very important to us. If there was a score out of 10 we would have given them a 10. When we arrived back home the house was absolutely spotless better than we clean it. I will not hesitate contacting Oormie and Joseph again for ... MORE
 
NOLA (Peregian Springs QLD, Feb 2023 - 6 weeks)
Oormie and Joseph were excellent house sitters. From our first communication through to leaving the house spotless, they were faultless and just lovely. They were easy to communicate with and very warm and loving to our two dogs. They looked after our garden and indoor plants and our house was absolutely spotless when we returned. We felt the dogs missed them when we got home! Couldn't recommend them highly enough. Thanks so much Oormie and Joseph!
 
SHELLEY (Sandgate QLD, Jan 2023 - 4 weeks)
Oormie & Joseph were great. They were really good with communication and keeping us in the loop and updates of our doggos! They looked after our house and pets so well and came home to a sparkling clean house! Really appreciated them looking after everything over the Christmas period. Highly recommend!
 
SARAH (Petrie QLD, Dec 2022 - 3 weeks)
Oormie and Joseph were wonderful to deal with and did an amazing job looking after our cat and two dogs. They were very accommodating, particularly of one of our dogs who can be a little timid and defensive. We came home to a lovely clean home, 3 happy fur babies and a lovely gift. We received pictures and a few updates while we were away which was really appreciated. Oormie was so lovely and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a Housesitter.
 
KELLY (Petrie QLD, Oct 2022 - 2 weeks 6 days)
We met Oormie and Joseph before the housesit started so we could check each other out - we must have passed because we were so fortunate that they took on caring for our house and garden while we drove down to Tasmania. We didn't have an exact finish date and they were accommodating in being flexible for us. Nothing was a problem. The house was shiningly spotless on our return and the grass was mown, fallen leaves removed and everything alive and well. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending ... MORE
 
JAN & MIKE (Beachmere QLD, Sep 2022 - Six weeks)
We invited Oormie and Joseph to be our house sitters and cat (most difficult rescue) sitter for two periods that totaled 4 months in 2022. The process with Oormie was seamless. It was our first time with Aussie and Oormie guided us through the process. A wonderful experience. Respectful of the house and our pet. Both handed back better than when we left. We HIGHLY recommend Oormie and Joseph for your house and pet sitting. George and Mary. Aspley
 
GEORGE (Aspley QLD, Jun 2022 - 2 sits 4 months total)
How lucky were we to find Oormie & Joseph available for our first ever house sitter experience! Right from our first meeting we felt we were leaving the property with a respectful & caring couple who assured us they would treat our home as if it was their own. Being in Brisbane during the floods would certainly have caused challenges, along with extra garden, pool & house maintenance but EVERYTHING had been perfectly maintained & sooo sparkling clean. A jar of chilli oil from my flourishing ... MORE
 
SUE (The Gap QLD, Feb 2022 - 6 weeks)
Oormie and Joseph left our house cleaner than it has ever been. Our dogs, cats and horses were also very well looked after. I was sent regular photos of our pets which was lovely. Oormie had a sensible and practical way of dealing with any issues (all minor) and I appreciated her professionalism as she has done house sitting before. I wish Oormie and Joseph every happiness and I'm so glad we chose them to look after our home, pets and acreage for the five weeks we were away.
 
ANN (Landsborough QLD, Aug 2021 - 5 weeks)
Oormie and Joseph were absolutely marvelous and we cannot recommend them highly enough. From the moment we met we knew that they would take that little extra care of our house and property that makes coming home from a long journey so very comforting. Thankyou both so very much for your efforts in maintaining our large garden and leaving the house and shed absolutely and embarrassingly spotless! You're welcome back anytime.
 
CHRIS (Flaxton QLD, Apr 2021 - 19 weeks)
We would absolutely recommend Oormie and Joseph to anyone looking for reliable sitters who keep in contact. I really appreciated the open communication and little updates about the pets while we were away. The house was beautiful and clean when we arrived home and the plants where thriving. We couldn't be happier with all there help. Thanks guys!
 
LINDSAY (Stafford QLD, Dec 2020 - 2 weeks 4 days)
We personally can not recommend Oormie & Joseph enough. We were already away when at short notice we had to get new house sitters in. I was seriously nervous being in another country and having our 2x cats and property looked after by house-sitters we weren't able to meet first. What I can say is Oormie and Joseph gave us nothing but reassurance. The communication was amazing and when we returned home, it was as if we had never left our fur babies! they were so relaxed and happy (they even ... MORE
 
COURTNEY (Bellmere QLD, Nov 2020 - 2months +)
Oormie and Joseph stepped in to house sit for us at short notice after an unexpected cancellation. Having arrived the afternoon before we left they were quick to understand the garden and pet care requirements. Oormie sent us regular reports along with photos of our very contented cat. We returned to find the house spotless and numerous new vegetable seedlings in the garden to replace some we had planted that were ageing. We were delighted with everything that Oormie and Joseph had ... MORE
 
KENT (Southside QLD, Oct 2020 - 4 weeks)
Oormie and Joseph did a splendid job in caring for our cat and home for 11 weeks. Our house was not only clearly clean and orderly on our return, our cat was also in good health. Periodic reports and cat photos during this time was a nice and unexpected touch. As people, we found much in common with both Oormie and Joseph and hope to sustain contact with them into the future as well as having them sit for us again if opportunity permits. Their proven reliability and trustworthiness, together ... MORE
 
BIRGITTA (Balmoral QLD, Apr 2020 - 11weeks)
We absolutely loved looking after dear Sam and became quite attached to her. Birgit and Greg were easy to communicate with, generous and made us feel comfortable and at home. It was wonderful to connect and make friends with such lovely people. We look forward to visiting and hopefully taking care ... MORE

MICHELLE (Marcoola QLD, Feb 2020 - 12 days)
Absolutely fantastic sitters who looked after our house as if it was their own.
 
KATHY (Coolum Beach QLD, Jan 2020 - 4 weeks)
Our house was amazing on return from our trip and our little kit cat very happy
 
MICHELLE (Mitchelton QLD, Dec 2019 - 6 nights)
Oormie and Joe were the absolute dream housesitters. Caring, responsive, compassionate and respectful of anothers home and animals. The house was left spotless when we returned and our beautiful cats were very happy. Thankyou!
 
CHLOE (Woombye QLD, Dec 2019 - 1 month)
We have just returned from a 7 week holiday and we couldn't be happier, as we were very lucky to have Oormie sit for us and everything went according to plan. One of my dog's needs daily medicine, and the other Jack Russel can demand a lot of affection, so I was a bit worried. However, Oormie was fabulous, took away all of my concerns, sent regular photos and updates, left the house perfect. I will definitely be using Oormie again if she is available and would recommend her as a wonderfully ... MORE
 
JANINA (Aspley QLD, Aug 2019 - 6 weeks)
Best housesitters. Respectful caring. House was spotless
 
JENNY (Cooran QLD, Apr 2018 - 4weeks x 3 times.)
No rating Oormie took care of our house, our cat, and our plants for a week over Christmas 2016. Oormie was pleasant and reliable, and everything was in great shape when we returned. We recommend Oormie to any prospective hosts.
