Marie & Charles

69, Retired

72, Retired

We are an active, healthy, retired couple with 5 independent adult children.
Non-smokers.
Engineering and Nursing backgrounds so we have a broad range of skills.
Experience in looking after dogs, cats, horses, birds, fish, rabbits and chickens, not only in a home setting but also on a barn laid and free range poultry farm.
Care Managers on a 100+ acre farm with cattle, sheep, ducks, geese, and hens.
Interests include cycling, walking, gardening, cooking, reading and table tennis.
We have been house sitting for a number of years now so we have considerable experience.
We always receive very positive feedback from home owners who consistently request further house sitting from us.

SARAH-JANE (Beaumaris VIC, May 2017 - 4 days)
Marie and Charles are the most amazing house sitters you could wish for. If it was not for the happy, well cared for pets, we would not have know that anyone had actually been living in our house for a week. It was spotless and nothing was out of place. Both Marie and Charles are quietly spoken, honest and trustworthy. They are very respectful of other peoples property and possessions. Our dog and cat took an immediate liking to them and were very well cared for. Marie and Charles are very ... MORE
 
LEANNE (Menzies Creek VIC, Apr 2021 - 5 days)
Thank you so much Leanne for your very complementary and appreciative words. It worked well both ways in that we enjoyed the company of the 2 special members of your family as well as the comfort of your lovely home in its superb location. Unfortunately due to our calendar we are only able to ... MORE
Marie and Charles are amazing. The delight we had when we came home, I don't think I've ever seen a cleaner house. Apart from everything being sparkling you wouldn't even think they'd been here. They were amazing with our animals and cannot recommend them high enough. They will be the first we turn to should we ever need a housesit again.
 
ANDREW (Kinglake Central VIC, Apr 2021 - 6 days)
Thank you Andrew and Marianne for your very kind and appreciative words. We, and I imagine most of the non-farming general public, don't often get an opportunity to show our appreciation for the incredibly long man hours of invaluable work that you do on the land to produce the food that we enjoy ...

Look, I don't know where you stand on angels, but our guess is that Marie and Charles are divine beings in disguise. We are so grateful for the wonderful way they took care of our house, our garden and especially the fourth member of our family: the cat. They reassured us as they went, with kind and easy updates. Then, when we got home, the house and garden was even better than when we left, and the cat was calm and happy! We can't thank or recommend them highly enough. Miles and Holly
 
HOLLY (Thornbury VIC, Jan 2021 - 1 week 2 days)
Thank you so much for your very kind and appreciative words Miles and Holly. We love house sitting and the opportunity to care for special 'family' members. We are basically 'home' bodies in that we can be totally content keeping ourselves occupied at 'home' wherever that may be.
If you're reading this and Marie and Charles are available for the dates you're looking for - you have won the house sitter lottery. I cannot speak more highly of this lovely couple; their communication is prompt and courteous, they were incredibly easy to deal with and as soon as you meet them you can immediately tell they are trustworthy, switched on and sensible. We came home to a spotless house, milk in the fridge, everything exactly where it was before we left and beautifully tidy and ... MORE
 
KERI (Mudgeeraba QLD, Feb 2020 - 1 week)
Thank you Keri for your very appreciative and complimentary words. It was a real pleasure looking after and loving the special members of your family.as they were so easy going and receptive to our care. Your lovely home and location lent itself to us enjoying a relaxed and peaceful stay and as ... MORE
This is the first time i have had a house sitter and I hit the jackpot. Marie & Charlie are very caring and homely. They followed all my instructions. I think this was their first time they have looked after a horse. Marie & Charlie had to give medication to my dog & horse and did so. Marie & Charlie now know how to give a horse a tablet. They also looked after my chooks and sheep. I had a huge smile on my face when I arrived home, everything including the paddock was spotless. I highly ... MORE
 
LEANNE (Tonimbuk VIC, Nov 2019 - 9 days)
Thank you so much Leanne for your very appreciative words. We were delighted that you gave us the opportunity of experiencing something quite new and we can certainly say that the pleasure was all ours. We are looking forward to returning.
Marie and Charles were fabulous. Communication was great and we came home to a super tidy house and a relaxed dog. We'd welcome them back anytime.
 
ANNE (Mermaid waters QLD, Aug 2019 - 1 day)
Thanks Anne for your kind words. We made the most of our short stay and thoroughly enjoyed the 24 hours. Marie
Marie and Charles were amazing! Excellent prompt communication before the sit and we met a few days beforehand. They notified us when they arrived and left our house. Although they only sat for 3 days for us, the house was immaculate, even having done some cleaning and gardening for us that was not asked of them. The kindness and their time for that is greatly appreciated. They had no concerns or problems giving our dog her medication and both our animals were happy and healthy when we ... MORE
 
CHERIE (Tweed Heads South NSW, Aug 2019 - 3 days)
Thanks so much Cherie for your very appreciative words. We enjoy what we do so the pleasure was all ours.
You can have peace of mind knowing that Marie and Charles have all in hand. Our 3 cats were quite comfortable in their company and upon our return our house was speck and span. Would highly recommend.
 
KYM (Robina QLD, Aug 2019 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Thanks Kym, it was very much our pleasure.
Marie and Charlie were amazing and right from the moment we, and our pets, met them we knew we had hit the jackpot. They are the best and went above and beyond. The house has never been so clean and the garden is so tidy. But above all our 2 dogs and cat were looked after with care and love. Plus they are both amazing people... thankyou Marie and Charlie x
