Maree & Peter

62, Retired Office Manager

70, Retired Accountant

Hello! Peter and I are retired professional people, living in Carnegie, Melbourne, who now have time to explore this great country of ours.
We have owned cats, dogs, birds and guinea pigs, and often look after our neighbours house/chooks. We would love to look after your house and pets while you are having an adventure. We will lavish love and attention on your pets, whilst taking care of your house/property as if it were our own.
Pete is quite the handyman, and he loves to tidy the garden and mow! My forte is the pets, and I am involved with a local community dog sitting club.
We are both volunteers, me with the local council and Pete with a local school.
We are honest, reliable and security conscious, both non smokers and social drinkers, and can supply references. Both fully vaxxed.
Look forward to chatting soon.

Maree and Pete were the perfect house sitters and we would gladly have them in our home again. Unfortunately we lost our beautiful Jack a few months before the sit but Maree and Pete were still happy to accept the sit without the benfit of caring for Jack. They looked after our home and my garden as if it was their own. Thank you and best wishes Maree and Pete.

Maree and Peter housesat for us for 10 days and did a wonderful job caring for our elderly and sensitive dog . The garden was weeded, the wild Rosella nestlings fledged, house was immaculate, and we were kept up to date with how they were all going. I thoroughly recommend them to care for your home and pets.

Maree & Peter took great care of my little Bonnie and kept me updated with how she was going and sending photos. Peter mowed the lawn for me and did several odd jobs around the house for which I am most grateful. My home was tidier on my return than it was when I left. I would absolutely recommend Maree and Peter to anyone. Thank you Maree and Peter
 
LINDA (Kyneton VIC, Aug 2023 - 1 week 3 nights)
Maree & Peter are a very friendly and amazing couple who looked after our Cavoodle (dog) Harley & Ragdoll (cat).Sissi whilst we holidayed overseas. Their communication was excellent and our animals had the best of loving care. Our house was well looked after and was left spotless. Unfortunately their two week stay was cut short due to unforeseen circumstances, which caused an early return to Australia. We have no hesitation in recommending Maree & Peter as very competent and wonderful house & ... MORE
 
TRISH & ROD (Drouin VIC, Jul 2023 - 1 week)
Maree and Peter are a lovely friendly couple and we were thrilled to have them housesit for us. We are very houseproud and fussy about securing the 'right' housesitters.........Maree and Peter were just the 'right' couple!!! Our house was spotless when we returned. Pot plants well watered and pigeons expertly cared for. Maree and Peter even left a gift for us which was very kind and thoughtful. We would have no hesitation in asking Maree and Peter to housesit for us again and would ... MORE

An absolute pleasure having Marie and Peter in my home to sit my 2 border Collies. Their attention to detail of everything was beyond outstanding. Peter even cleaned my car! and painted outdoor furniture for me. My babies were well looked after and loved. Even left me a lovely native plant choclates and wine. My home was left spotless.If your lucky enough to have Marie and Peter sit for you you are indeed very lucky.

A huge thank you to Maree & Peter for housesitting my fur babies . We had great communication leading up to the housesit & Maree kept in touch with photos and messages letting me know how Teddy & Molly were going. I came home to a spotless house, a beautiful plant & chocolates and two very happy fur babies . I can totally recommend Peter Maree and will definitely ask them to housesit again .
 
LISA (Ballarat VIC, May 2022 - 5 days)
Maree and Peter were wonderful house sitters! Our dog can be nervous meeting new people but they provided much care and patience for Monte until he came around. They made the effort to come and meet us and see the house before the house sit too place which was really helpful. They left the house lovely and clean with even a little welcome home gift to greet us. Such a thoughtful touch. Their communication was great pre stay and throughout as well. I'd definitely recommend them to others. Thank ... MORE
 
RENEE (Rosebud VIC, Feb 2022 - 1 week)
I highly recommend Maree and Pete as trustworthy, reliable and clean Housesitters. Our animals were all well looked after and we received excellent communication from them. It was nice to have a holiday and not have to worry about anything back home. They even left us a little treat which was lovely after a long days travel back home! Thanks again!

Maree and Peter were friendly and easy to communicate with. All our animals seemed happy and relaxed on our return. The house was spotless and there was a bottle of wine waiting. Great experience and we have booked Maree and Peter again for our next holiday.
 
KAREN (Balnarring VIC, Jan 2021 - 3 days)
Maree and Peter did a fantastic job of looking after our house and pets (1 dog & 3 cats) at such short notice. Our pets required additional medicene to be administered as well which they did willingly. We had full confidence leaving our house and animals in their care and were so happy to come home after a long flight to see such a clean and well looked after house. Thanks again Maree and Peter and we'll be reaching out to you again for our next trip if you're keen on another Brisbane ... MORE
 
PAUL (Bulimba QLD, Sep 2019 - 1 week 5 days)
Is there such a thing as perfect House sitters? MAREE and PETER must surely be the hot favorites. We were so fortunate to have had this wonderful couple house sit for us recently. They provided expert care and attention to our poodle Kaspar who settled in so well with them. Our house was left in immaculate condition upon our return. They also left us beautiful gifts which were greatly appreciated. Maree and Peter are highly recommended House sitters. Simply outstanding.
 
STEPHEN (Mount Eliza VIC, Jul 2019 - 1 week 3 days)
Thank you so much Maree and Peter, it was very nice to meet you and we feel very fortunate that you were available to look after our house, doggies and bird aviary. The house was immaculate upon our return and the welcome home present a lovely surprise. Your care and communication was very much appreciated. We would be very happy to have them back again if they were available and have no hesitation in recommending them as your next house sitters.

No rating Thankyou Maree has Pwter for your kind words. Our garden was in a better state when we came home than when we left it - thank you so much. Evan and Bruce were happy campers - would love you to come back and house sit when we go to China at the end of the year. Thank you so much Di and Terry
DIANNE (Woodend North VIC, Feb 2019 - 1 week 1 day)
Maree, Pete and their daughter stayed at our house for a week over Christmas. They kept in touch in the lead up to their stay and looked after our house, garden and animals beautifully! They even went as far as tidying up some of the garden paths which was a lovely surprise to come home to.
 
CHELSEA (Florey ACT, Dec 2018 - 1 week)
Again it was an absolute pleasure to meet Maree and Peter and have them sit our house and look after our Whisper. You could not hope to find a more accommodating and caring couple. The house and surrounds were spotless and our dog much loved. They kept us updated on events back home and they left us gifts upon our return. I can't express enough, our gratitude to such lovely people and I can only hope that one day they may want another "holiday" in East Gippsland. Thank you gain. Regards ... MORE

Maree and Pete house sat my elderly greyhound and cat for 10 days. My yard was left in a far better state than I had left it and my house also very clean and neat. They tableted my cat for me daily and gave his daily food supplements and also walked my gorgeous greyhound and brushed his teeth as requested. They were absolutely exemplary in their communication, care of my pets and care of my home. I couldn't have been more pleased! Would highly recommend them, and would love then to ... MORE
 
JESSICA (Kyneton VIC, Sep 2018 - 1 week 3 days)
No rating Maree and her Husband were the perfect house sitters. They were great to communicate with in the lead up and during my time away. I was comfortable and confident that my pets were in safe and loving hands and was thrilled to come home to happy, pampered pets and a house that was cleaner than I left it. Big thanks from Emmalee, Lulu and Elmo!
EMMALEE (Warrnambool VIC, Jun 2018)
No rating We were indeed fortunate to have had Maree and Peter house sit and care for and love our "special" girl, Whisper. Whisper is still looking for them in and around the house as she obviously wants to help Peter chop some more wood! Both Maree and Peter did many jobs around the house and our place has never looked so good. They have left their mark on us, our dog and our house. Wine and a gift waited for us on our return, together with well chosen toys for our dog. They are beautiful people ... MORE

No rating Maree & Peter were just what the Doctor ordered. Our house was perfect when we got home & we had one very happy & healthy pussy cat, plus a beautiful new pot plant. Also a bottle of Lee's favourite wine. Can't thank them enough & would thoroughly recommend them to everyone.
JANETTE (Port Fairy VIC, Jan 2018 - 1 week 6 days)
