We love Leo. He did a fantastic job for us, and when things went wrong on our side with cancelled flights and other delays, he could not have been more accommodating and easily fit in with new arrangements.
Leo did everything he said he would and we are delighted, our 2 dogs and cat Izzy are happy and well cared for, the house gardens and pool all in great order.
Thank you Leo, we rate you very highly and you'll be welcome in our home next time.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED/ Platinum service.

I have just had Leo sit for us while we were overseas. I couldn’t have been happier with how everything went. He was great with communication before and during the sit and even managed to stay an extra day when I got our return dates wrong.
He looked after my elderly dog and demanding bird very well and also the cat and the chooks who just did their own thing. He even cleaned out the chook pen for me.
I couldn’t recommend Leo enough.
ISABELLE (Gundy NSW, Sep 2023 - 1 week 1 night)
Leo was fantastic! We met just prior to leaving and were completely at ease. Our dogs were well looked after, and the house was left immaculately clean and tidy. Communication was also great. We'd love to have Leo sit again.

Thank you Leo for looking after Ziggy our dog so well and for house sitting. The house was absolutely spotlessly clean when we arrived home and Ziggy looked very content. Thank you for walking Zig regularly and for sweeping up the autumn leaves all over the lawn. It was lovely to arrive home and have everything so neat and clean. Excellent house sitter.

KAREN (Scone NSW, Apr 2023 - 1 week,)
Leo is very nice, he sat for us at very short notice, and was also happy to let us extend our time away by a few extra days, which was greatly appreciated. We came home to a clean house with happy cats. Thank you Leo, would recommend him as a sitter.

Leo was fantastic in all aspects of the house sit. Our dog was vey well cared for and looked very relaxed on our return. Communication was prompt and Leo was very adaptable when we had to change our return date many times.
Appreciated his attention to detail in caring for our home that we have already booked him for our next trip away. Trust Leo with your home and pets and you really won't be disappointed - thanks Leo - see you in September :-D
CAROL & GLENN (Springwood NSW, Mar 2022 - 5 weeks)
Leo was AMAZING. Right from the get go he made me feel very reassured. I was anxious about leaving but as soon as I saw him with my dogs I knew they'd be in good hands. The peace of mind and trust I had with Leo was invaluable, I wouldn't hesitate to have him housesit again. Lovely man, the house was tidy and the linen washed/bed made when I returned home after a long trip. Couldn't speak more highly of Leo, thank you again for looking after my home and my dogs!
MEG (Inverell NSW, Feb 2022 - 5 Days)
Leo was our first house sitter and because of the great care he took, he won't be our last.
Leo kept us up to date for his 16 day sit, and took great care of everything, gardens, house and our pets. He is a clear communicator and very easy going.
The house was spotless on our return.
We felt very comfortable leaving our home and pets in his care and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced housesitter.
LINDA (Kurmond NSW, Jan 2022 - 16 days)
Leo was a great house-sitter! He was able to start early and finish later, which was great flexibility during the COVID lockdown of 2021. The original plan of 6 weeks turned in to 5 months! Chooks, cat, house and garden all in great condition when we got back. Leo always communicated promptly and even helped out with tricky bits like sorting out our bees at season change! I would have Leo back anytime and thoroughly recommend him as house sitter. Thank you Leo!
PAM (Winmalee NSW, Jun 2021 - 20.6. 21. --- 13. 11. 21)
Thank you so much Leo. My first try at getting a house sitter in and it won't be my last. Rambo, my big German shepherd has separation anxiety but absolutely loved Leo. Mitch the watchbird was also well cared for. House was left tidy and linen wash for my arrival home. Leo will be my first port of call next time, absolutely recommend him 100% ... and so do Rambo and Mitch! Can't thank him enough!!!
CORRINNE (Bomaderry NSW, May 2021 - 2 weeks 4 days)
Leo did a great job looking after our home. He came out a few days before we left to get a rundown on everything. It's a 25 acre property, so there is a bit more involved than a regular house-sit. We felt very comfortable leaving our pets in Leo's care - this included a dog, 2 horses and 7 chickens. Leo is a conscientious and low maintenance house-sitter and your home and pets will be in good hands. Thanks again Leo!!
SHARON (Sackville North NSW, Dec 2020 - 7 days)
It was a pleasure to have Leo housesit for us. Great communication beforehand and during the sit. Leo took great care of our animals and garden and the house was spotless when we returned. We'd gladly have Leo back again, and have recommended him to our neighbours.
ROBYN (BINGARA NSW, Oct 2020 - 1 week 6 days)
Big thank you to Leo for looking after our place and our puppy for the last three weeks we think Buster was spoilt, going for walks every day plus Leo cooked some more dinner for him when ours ran out.Leo took care of everything very well while we were away doing some gardening and pool maintenance and the house was spotless when we got back.We would love to have Leo back again and Buster would too, and would greatly recommend him to any one needing a house sitter
ROBERT KELLY AND BUSTER (Kempsey NSW, Aug 2020 - 13th August---3th Sept.)
With covid changing our times, Leo sat our house with Berry for nearly three weeks during the difficult times of the flooding rains of March 2021. Considering all the weather issues and associated responsibilities, Leo kept the house, yard and Berry as well as we would have done. He left the place neat and tidy, and Berry not being overfeed as has always happened with other sitters we have used. I would recommend Leo for any sit. Many thank Leo.

Our thanks to Leo! Leo communicated promptly to our advertisement, arrived when he said he would, offered to drive us to an early morning flight, mowed the lawn, conversed via email during our break and stayed until our relatives arrived for the handover. Our relatives commended him on the cleanliness of the house and yard and the washed bedding on the line. If Roxy, sheep and Al the Alpaca could talk, we feel sure they would state there pleasure in Leo's company. When this coronavirus ... MOREOur thanks to Leo!

SUSAN (Narromine NSW, Feb 2020 - 1 week 5 days)
Leo turned up well on time and the dogs took to him immediately. He was a very nice gentleman and even our dog wash person thought him a "top fella"'! Leo was here a week he communicated very well with us and left the house immaculate! The garden was watered, pool clean and dogs content. What more could we have ask for! I would certainly have Leo back again on another occasion.
PATRICE (Tanilba Bay NSW 2319 NSW, Feb 2020 - 1 week)
Leo looked after our 2 dogs, chickens and garden over the Christmas period, while we were overseas and managed all the concerns about bush fires in the Mountains in the catastrophic conditions of 2019.
He also kindly provided lifts to and from the station with children and luggage. Our animals were beautifully cared for. We would highly recommend Leo and will be happy to contact him again if we need another sitter.
CHRIS (Springwood NSW, Dec 2019 - 2 weeks 6 days)
Leo did a six week house sit for me and I am very happy with everything. I have rebooked him for another house sit in a few months and am very happy he can do it. My little dog was cared for beautifully and my house spotless and secure. I highly recommend Leo to house sit and will book him as often as I can as he did a fantastic job. Thankyou so much Leo, much appreciated! Trish
TRISH (Milton NSW, Aug 2019 - 6 weeks)
Leo looked after our home and animals like his own a very respectful and excellent house sitter would be happy to have him back anytime
JUDY (Scone NSW, Aug 2019 - 3 weeks)
Leo has done an amazing job of looking after our dogs and cat. We came home to happy, healthy animals and knowing that they were being looked after by such a lovely man made our holiday so much more enjoyable. Thanks Leo!!
HEATHER (Ingleburn NSW, Jun 2019 - 1 week)
Leo was our first sitter and what a wonderful start he proved to be. A patient, caring and flexible individual, Leo is an interesting and humorous man who clearly cares about his responsibilities as a sitter. He was gracious enough to change his leaving date at short notice due to an error on my part , which was greatly appreciated. We found Leo to be everything his reviews stated, and some more. Highly recommended
BRETT (Bomaderry NSW, May 2019 - 5 weeks)

COL & LYNDA (Kendall NSW, Apr 2019 - 2 weeks 5 days)
Leo is a fabulous house sitter. I came back to a very happy dog, a garden that showed lots of care had been taken- it hardly rained while he was here so he had to pay attention to all the plants; and chooks who were happy as! :-)
Thanks Leo
BARBARA (East Lynne NSW, Feb 2019 - 2 weeks 4 days)
It gave me great peace of mind to know Leo was looking after my home and fur babies while I was away for 2 weeks. The house was sparkling - the first thing I noticed when I walked in the door followed by warm greetings progressively from my three fur babies (cats of various ages). While very pleased to see me, they all looked very healthy and happy. Leo also had the pool sparlking!
I would highly recommend Leo to anyone looking for first class care of house and pets.
PAMMIE (Blandford NSW, Feb 2019 - 2 weeks 1 day)
We had a great time away on our holiday! We came home to find all our animals very relaxed and happy - don't think we were too missed. Lawn was mowed and house was as we left it. The whole family really liked Leo and we enjoyed our time with him. He is very easy going and friendly. We hope he will pop in again in his travels to catch up; and we also hope he will come back next year to look after our place again. Thank you Leo you are great!

JANE (Young NSW, Jan 2019 - 2 weeks 1 day)
From the moment we met Leo I felt confident with leaving our Dog and house under his care. Leo was great communicating and easy to talk to. Leo took care of our house and dog as if they were his own. It was a pleasure to have Leo stay at our home and will definitely love to have Leo back next time. I would highly recommend Leo.
JULIE (YARRAMUNDI NSW, Dec 2018)
Leo did a wonderful job caring for Penny and Bert and the chooks, The house was as I left it, neat and tidy. He'd washed the bed linen ready for the bed to be remade and mowed the lawns and watered the garden as requested. He also did a bit of maintenance on my ride on mower fixing and finding a part for the battery which I wasn't even aware needed attending to! Thanks again Leo
JENNY (MUDGEE NSW, Oct 2018 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Leo looked after our house and cat for almost 4 weeks in August and September 2018 and did a fantastic job. We came home to a clean and tidy house with the lawns mowed!! I think we might need to have Leo here once a week in summer!!!
Thank you Leo for making our arrival home so pleasant
SUSAN (Port Macquarie NSW, Aug 2018 - 3 weeks)
Leo was my first contact with Aussie House Sitters. I found him vey friendly. He house/dog sat for me for this past month and this is the first time I've come home from holidays and my dog Charlie was happy to see me and not angry that I left him (even when my son had been looking after him). I'm thinking he'll be expecting a few more walks now that he's been spoilt. Leo even managed to get my lawn mower going and mowed the lawns for me which was a nice surprise to come home to.

TEENA (Albury NSW, Jul 2018 - 3 weeks)
To anyone needing a house sitter, Leo is your man. He is reliable and competent. All our animals were well cared for and in excellent condition, and I think our dog still misses Leo. The house and yard was clean and tidy when we arrived back, so I could take a couple of days to get over jet lag, before getting back into routine. Thanks Leo, and I will recommend Leo to other people.
KAYE (Bellingen NSW, May 2018 - 3 weeks)
Leo looked after our home like it was his. After previous housesittin experience it was a pleasure to arrive home and find everything clean, tidy and as we left it. Future housesitter of Leo are in for a treat. Thanku Leo, it was a pleasure having u housesit for us. We wish u well in the future,
LESLEY (Buttaba NSW, Feb 2018 - 4 weeks)
We are so happy to share our experience with Leo providing such an excellent house sit for our home in Temora. Leo provided exceptional care for our animals, especially Peg and Mouser. The property was beautifully cared for and we have appreciated it so much. To be able to go away and know that everything is in such good hands provides so much peace of mind. We would love to have Leo back any time in the future.
NARELLE (Temora NSW, Apr 2017 - 1 month 2 weeks)
Leo Mittermaier house sat for 5 weeks at my place in Hazelbrook, Blue Mountains and cared for my two elderly dogs, took them to the vet for injections and kept them happy. He also looked after my chickens. When I arrived back home I found healthy and happy animals, a freshly charged battery in my car and the lawn mown. I can recommend Leo as a house sitter and carer for animals. Regards Leta van der Wal
LETA (Hazelbrook NSW, Mar 2017 - 6 days)
Leo is a great house and hound sitter. He kept the house clean and tidy - even mowed the lawns. Jake my Jack Russell loves his ball and Leo played with him everyday. Leo is a kind hearted man and easy to get along with. I whole heartedly recommend him and hope he will return and house sit again for me next year. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you wish to speak in person.
