Virginia looked after our little dog, Annie, while we had a long overseas holiday. She was very kind towards Annie, taking extremely good care of her, and we could see on our return that Annie was very fond of her. The house was in excellent condition on our return too, and Virginia kept us updated with news and photos on Annie while we were away. I'm happy to recommend Virginia as a house sitter.
Virginia did an amazing job in looking after our home but in particular our baby Zac whilst we were overseas for 3 months.
We felt at ease as Virginia kept in touch with us regularly and sent us photos and videos of Zac. Zac loved Virginia as he received lots of love care and I could see that in the videos that were sent to us.

We came home to immaculate clean house, Virginia even washed her sheets and towels. We would have no hesitation in inviting Virginia to house sit for us again and highly recommend her to others requiring a lovely and professional lady who is committed and passionate on what she does best.
Thank you, Virginia.

MELISSA (Lindfield NSW, Apr 2023 - 7 weeks)
Virginia was a fantastic sitter! She cared so lovingly for our animals, and the house was perfect when we returned.
I would definitely use her again and recommend her!
KATHRYN (Pymble NSW, Apr 2023 - 5 days)
Virginia looked after our two cats while we were gone for a little over three months.
It is commendable how she handled things and kept in touch with us for updates.
We felt at ease the entire time we were away, and when we got back, our cats were happy. She maintained our house very clean.
Thanks, Virginia for everything. We appreciate it.
RIZWAN (Jordan Springs NSW NSW, Oct 2022 - 3 months)
Virginia was wonderful. She was quick to. communicate with, us, sent us photos of the dogs while we were away , fed our chooks and collected the eggs and kept the house in immaculate condition.
We were so thrilled. Thank you so much.
FIONA (earlwood NSW, Sep 2022 - 1 week 4 days)
My cat took to Virginia straight away which made me happy. She also took good care of our chickens.
The house was left immaculate; she even washed her sheets and towels which I wasn't expecting. She also left us food in the fridge so we wouldn't have to go shopping straight away (including chocolates which was very nice to come home to!)
JULIE (Mittagong NSW, Sep 2022 - 13 days)
Virginia did an amazing job house/pet sitting for us for 9 weeks whilst we were overseas. We came home to a beautiful clean and tidy house with the fridge full of lovely fresh fruit and vegetables and even a quiche. Virginia took fabulous care of Lily, our elderly pug, whom provided some challenges throughout the stay. She handled these challenges, including a trip to the vet for an eye infection, with diligence, patience and love. Our fur baby was regularly walked and neighbours reported what ...

Virginia took fabulous care of Lily, our elderly pug, whom provided some challenges throughout the stay. She handled these challenges, including a trip to the vet for an eye infection, with diligence, patience and love. Our fur baby was regularly walked and neighbours reported what a lovely lady Virginia was. Lily clearly missed Virginia when she left and would often look in the bedroom for her. I would have no hesitation in inviting Virginia to house sit for us again and can highly recommend her to others requiring a true professional and lovely lady.
CORRINE (Oyster Bay NSW, Jul 2022 - 9 weeks.)
Virginia kept our home clean, neat and tidy. Our pooch was very much loved and well cared for as well. She loved her daily walks.
Thank you Virginia.

BRIDGET (Glenhaven NSW, Dec 2021 - 4 weeks)
Virginia was a pleasure to have house sit for us while we were away. Communication from the outset was professional and with some short notice COVID set backs around the start date she's was able to adjust without a worry.
It was great to have met her prior to leaving so she's assured us that she would be fine with our fur baby and the house as this was our first time with a house sitter.

We received updates and communication through out our trip which was great for reassurance. The house was left immaculate and our dog was as relaxed when we got back. Could not say a bad thing about the service provided and will love to have her back if it worked out in the future.
BREE (Wagga NSW, Dec 2021 - 1 week 5 days)
Virginia is a fantastic house sitter - better than I could have asked for... thank you so much Virgina! My dog was loved and very well cared for. My neighbours said they saw Virginia regularly walking Benny. My house and garden were left spotless. Virginia kept me updated on things and was super easy to communicate with. I feel very lucky to have had Virginia's help and highly recommend her to anyone.

The house is in a perfect location with easy access to local shops and transport is only a five to ten minute walk to both trains and buses.
The family dog Benny was adorable and very easy to care for, with loads of personality and fun to be with. The dog park is literally straight across the road where Benny was well known by the locals which made it feel like I was part of a community.. I actually missed Benny when I left.
The house and garden was very low maintenance and easy to care for.
I highly recommend Lorna for a house sit,
Virgina has looked after our 2 little dogs and our house for 2 weeks over the 2019 Spring holidays. She is very easy to communicate with. We met prior to the sitting period and were very confident that all would be ok, especially for our very shy rescue dog. Virginia managed all little bumps (one of the dogs caught a baby snake in our backyard during her stay !) in a very calm and proficient manner. She even bathed and pampered both of them, to their absolute delight. When we returned, we also ...

CORINNE (Warrimoo NSW, Sep 2019 - 2 weeks 4 days)
Virginia is a very reliable, capable sitter. She took good care of my house and garden and very good care of my cat. She was very affectionate towards him and he was very comfortable around her. Virginia was adaptable to my changing circumstances during the 2 month sit when I needed it. The house was always clean and tidy and she was very welcoming when I arrived home . I don't have any hesitation in recommending her to care for your pets and home.
ROBYN (Springwood NSW, Jul 2019 - 2 months)
Virginia was fantastic. She kept in contact with me and checked on things if she wasn't sure. The pets were very well looked after and she left the house beautifully for my return.
MADELEINE (Medlow Bath NSW, Jul 2019 - 5 days)
Virginia house sat for us from 23.5.19 to 10.7.19 , we would have know hesitation of recommending her as she did an amazing job. She looked after our little Jack Russell better than we would have ourselves and our house was in excellent condition when we returned home, even the pool was immaculate. We found Virginia to be very friendly and very easy to get on with, and if ever needed we would have her back in a flash. Thank You ....Yvonne

Virginia was everything we could want in a house sitter. She kept in touch and kept our precious seedlings and garden thriving and our chickens cool despite an extended heatwave, Highly recommended.

RICHARD JOHN ROOKE (Wagga Wagga NSW, Apr 2017 - 7 months)
To all,
Virginia looked after our house and labrador for 6 nights over Easter 2017. Virginia's communication was excellent, came to meet our house to meet us and updates everyday. Upon return our house was as we left it and our labrador was well looked after.
I highly recommend Virginia for any future house sits.
PETER (Drummoyne NSW, Apr 2017 - 6 days)
Virginia looked after our home and two small dogs for two weeks, she walked the dogs daily and watered the garden.Our home was clean when we returned home and the puppies were happy. Virginia communicated with us by text messages which was lovely.
I would recommend her to for any housesit/petsit.

LUCY (Richmond NSW, Jul 2016 - 3 weeks)
Thank you Virginia. Our dog Quattro was so well looked after he missed you when you left. We were really happy with how you looked after the house and yard and you just felt like part of the family. You were an answer to our prayers.
