Margaret & Keith

We are a retired, fit husband and wife team who have been
house-sitting in Australia and overseas since 2010.
We are now back in Australia and available to take great care of your home and pets while you enjoy a care free break. Love something a bit out of the ordinary.
We own property near Crescent Head on the mid north coast of NSW and this is where we are based. We live on stand alone solar and water tanks.
We are fit, reliable and responsible. We both love animals (large and small),and have owned dogs, cats, donkeys and poultry.Keith is a skilled handyman and can cope with any emergencies and also perform maintenance work if required. Used to pumps etc and rural properties. We love sits that are a bit out of the ordinary and have experience in large rural properties.

We have police checks and lots of references. Here a a few from another site we are members of.
We would prefer coastal properties during the summer months. Winter in Jindabyne would be fantastic!!!!
We have cared for a lot of old and sick pets and due to past experiences we now charge $10 a day for pets which need major medications. Although we are more than happy to do this and cope well, there is always a risk of injury.
Looking for a short sit in Canberra end of June 2024.
We are planning a trip to Tassie after August 2024 for the latter part of the year. So if you have a unique property in Tassie that needs looking after with a pet or two, get in touch.
Looking forward to 2024.

Keith and Mog house sat for us for the whole of January and February this year (2015). They were thoroughly reliable, great with the animals, and when we arrived back the house was absolutely spotless. They kept in close contact with us while we were away and answered emails very promptly. They are a lovely couple who we would not hesitate to recommend.

Keith and Mog came to look after our Basset Hound Lola and our 3 cats, hens and rabbit. They were so easy to deal with from beginning to end and it made our first foray into HouseSitters a very reassuring experience. We would recommend them to anyone. Communication was brilliant and Lola our dog loved them. We returned home to one very happy Lola who had clearly had a lovely time. Thank you so much to both of you!

Fantastic couple with plenty of experience in house/pet sitting. My reserved with the strangers cat was lying on Mog's laps after a few hours and aloof dog was spoiled with strokes already the same evening they arrived. House and pets fully looked after. Couldn't wish for anyone better than these two lovely people as my first house/pet sitters. Thank you guys once again.

Keith and Mog are lovely, easy going, caring people. They were to look after my elderly dog who unfortunately met with an accident before they arrived. They were prepared to collect her from the vet, care for her if needs be. My dog unfortunately did not make it, but they stayed in my house anyway. They have been doing this for a while, so quite used to finding their way around and making themselves at home. In saying that, when I returned I almost did not know that 2 people had been staying here. The place was clean, everything washed, etc. I would certainly recommend them as house sitters, and would certainly use them again.

Keith and Mog we highly recommend as house/pet sitters. They are a lovely friendly outgoing Australian couple. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Our three dogs were very well looked after ( the dogs are very demanding!) and the house was left in perfect condition.
We were welcomed home with a delightful meal prepared by Mog.

Keith and Mog did a really wonderful job of looking after our three cats - one very old and ailing and two brand new kittens who had not yet bonded with each other. For three and a half weeks, Mog and Keith administered the daily medications, lots of care, attention and play. When we returned, we found the old cat was in perfect health and the two were kittens palying beautifully. I really valued the way Mog and Keith would send short updates and we didn't have to worry about anything at all. The house was well looked after and I think they also enjoyed the area.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in asking them back again.
