Reliable, kind, calm couple

63, Handyman

60, Greek Interpreter

We are a calm, happy, respectful couple with a small eco footprint, who adore all animals and almost fully retired. We were also foster cat carers but now adopted. We have had pet/house sitting experience for years with very happy and appreciative home owners. Tim, is a retired handyman/coffee machine technician, 63 yrs of age. I'm Calli, 60 yrs old, and work casually on the phone as a Greek Interpreter. So I need mobile phone coverage.

We are flexible with our dates. Your pet would have loving company during the day other than us going sight seeing if your area is new.

We're non smokers, house proud who treat others and their property the way we want to be treated, for eg we're conscious of not being wasteful of utilities and we wont empty your fridge and pantry :).

We're fit and healthy, animal and nature lovers, very clean and reliable (see references). Your house and pet will be very well looked after and respected as we are grateful that you are entrusting us with a highly important and valuable part of your life! We are honest, quiet, and easy to get along with, mostly flexible with booking dates.

All our lives we've had pets-cats, dogs, birds, chooks-but not now. So we have experience with animals and can 'communicate' and connect with them well. We love to love a pet at a house sit, as we get pet clucky, while at the same time enjoying a break from our home in Nunawading. Love cuddles and walks.

We would also enjoy just a house sit if no pets and can do light gardening/lawn mowing and pool maintenance.

PLEASE NOTE: Our deal breakers? Do not invite us if your house isn't very clean and tidy and if you have no heating!

We have police clearances and working with children checks due to our Bible volunteer work. We can also provide verbal referees upon request.

I've given all the relevant details I can think of but please don't hesitate to ask us anything that'll help both you and us in enjoying a good house sitting experience. Every home owner has their individual needs so let us know.

Below are references I've copied and pasted from Mindahome website we are also with. But do click on our references on this Aussie House Sitters site too.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Could not have asked for more caring and considerate people who even took my sick cat to the vet several times. They went out of their way to assist. Lots of great communication throughout the six month stay and our home was well cared for.

"It been our very great pleasure to have Tim and Calli look after our home and dogs whilst we were away. They have done an incredible job. One of our dogs cannot walk (neurological problems) and everything involved caring for her is hard work. Her bedding needs frequent washing, as does the dog herself, she needs medication morning and evening, and both little dogs need lots of love, having come from abused backgrounds. They did everything and more than we asked of them! Tim addressed some of our home handyman issues-cupboard doors needing hinges repaired, gardening maintenance and more. I would happily recommend this lovely couple to anyone needing housesitters. They were fabulous!"

"What a delight !
We had Tim and Calli house sit for us for 3 nights .... and we're getting them back for a 4 week sit !
They looked after our 10 year old lab, who has a few phobias, without any problems at all.
Our home was well looked after and immaculate when we returned.
Calli sent me 'The Kya Chronicles" to keep me up to date with what they were doing and how our girl was enjoying their company.
We highly recommend Tim and Calli, they are a delightful couple, great communication and perfect sitters. "

Calli and Tim were great! Responsive and responsible, they took great care of our dog - and house! There was a lot of communication and no surprises. Would highly recommend them to any homeowners and not hesitate to have them return in the future.

DAVID (Rye VIC, Jan 2022 - 5 days)
I cannot speak highly enough of Tim and Calli who cared for our house and cat over the past 6 weeks while we were overseas. We met them only briefly before we left but over the time we were away I developed the most amazing email relationship with. Calli who corresponded regularly and provided day to day details of their activities and interaction with our young Siamese, who they seemed to adore and the feeling was obviously mutual. Since they left yesterday , she has been on a ... MORE

It was a pleasure to have Calli and Tim to sit our house and look after our ageing cat over the Christmas period. They looked after the house and garden and all my pots beautifully, despite the extreme heat and we would not hesitate to have them sit for us again.

No rating If you can't be home, these are the people you want looking after your fur babies and house!! Thank you so much!!
PENNY (Grovedale VIC, Mar 2018 - 1 week 4 days)
No rating Calli & Tim were wonderful house sitters. They took great care of our home, leaving it clean & tidy as they'd found it. Most importantly the looked after my old girl Loulu very well, I know she was happy and loved. I have no hesitation in recommending Calli, to house sit and care for your pets. I'd be happy to have them back again.

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
