Once were Worriers

70, Retired Reg. Nurse

71, Retired Electrician

We are a retired couple (Reg. Nurse and Electrician) both 67 years old. We are both fit and healthy and neither of us smoke.
We have been travelling in our van for 11 years now and in that time have minded 8 properties - all in Q'ld so far!

1. Jappoonvale FNQ
An ex cane farm and we were there for 6 weeks through the monsoon - very exciting as we were flooded in for a few days. We looked after chickens, a cat and mowed lawns and maintained gardens on a 5 acre area.

2. Mareeba
We've minded this 5 acre property for 4 years now and we love it there. We look after a dog, chickens, lawns and orchard. We usually stay here for up to 3 months at a time.

REFERENCE:

Steven and Kerry have looked after my 2 acre property at Mareeba for up to 3 months at a time for the last 4 years. They have looked after the lawns, gardens, dog, chooks and swimming pool very well indeed and I have no hesitation whatever in giving them a recommendation. My phone number is xxxx if you wish to call for verification.

3. Yeppoon

4 acre property with no animals but beautiful gardens and greenhouse with rare orchids etc. Mowing and maintaining the stag horns and natives. We've minded this property twice for 3 months each time. Heaven!

REFERENCE:

Kerry and Stephen have minded our property twice now and we were more than happy with their care and attention. It is very nice to know your house is in good hands. I would recommend them to anyone in the future.

4. Petford FNQ

A two acre property in a very isolated bush land setting. No animals but lawns and maintenance of the grounds. This property is just being established so important to keep the new trees and lawns watered and green.

REFERENCE:

I have no hesitation in recommending Stephen and Kerry for any house sitting anywhere. I am so happy with how our property was cared for and it was lovely to come back to a well tended house and garden! Thanks Stephen and Kerry

KURRIMINE BEACH

We looked after this 5+ acre property over the summer of 2017/18. There was a 25 metre swimming pool to maintain as well as general mowing and maintenance. No animals except resident tree snakes and geckos. A fantastic experience for us and we loved everything about it!


COOKTOWN

We spent a month here on the Endeavour River. A very wild month with flooding and cyclonic conditions. Loved it!

BOMBEETA FNQ

This property was in the middle of a cane farm and we were here for six weeks - they had a thirty year old cockatoo who was extremely entertaining. We love Far North Queensland so again, we were very happy to explore and enjoy this unique opportunity.

REFERENCE:

Stephen & Kerry did a great job for us looking after our property & pet cockatoo while we were away giving regular updates on how everything was going. Would recommend them to anyone & are always welcome back.

MOGGILL Brisbane

We initially came to this semi rural acreage for 6mths but came back for another six months due to the owners changed circumstances. The pandemic threw a massive spanner in the works and we are still here and will be until October 2021 - again, even after two and a half years, we wouldn't have changed a thing.
Update: we will now be here until late January 2022
*Reference when our people arrive home.

We usually stay in our van as we are self contained with toilet, shower etc but it is lovely to hook up to power when it gets over 30!


We both enjoy travelling, country life and exploring new
locales - we also live a very quiet life and enjoy reading, swimming and walking.

Unfortunately our two little dogs are no longer with us so it's just us and our van!

Reviews (3)
Kerry & Stephen came with fantastic reviews and they did not disappoint. They looked after our home as if it was their own. The house and gardens were immaculate on our return. We we will definitely be asking Kerry and Stephen back and would highly recommend them.
 
KAREN & FRANK (Maryborough QLD, Feb 2024 - 1 month 3 weeks)
Kerry and Stephen are very reliable and trustworthy house sitters that we have used on two occasions. The first time was for 6 months in 2019 and the second time was for nearly 2.5 years commencing January 2020. They looked after our small acreage property and swimming pool very well and managed several significant issues during the second very long house sit. They kept us up to date with any issues big or small and looked after our mail as well. I would highly recommend them as house sitters.

Garden Maintenance

Green garden!

Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
