Retired Park Managers

60's, Caravan Park Managers -Retired

70, Retired

Hi, we retired in 2017. We own a comfortable house in Wodonga NE Victoria and use house-sits as an interest and a holiday. Prior to retiring we managed a caravan park in Wodonga for 6 years. Before that we owned a music shop in Bathurst and worked for St.George bank for 12 years. We are active, honest, reliable with proven abilities to manage everything from a house to a caravan park or motel. Love pets, but do not have any of our own at the moment because we travel so much. Lost our beloved Gizmo Aussie Terrier at 18 yo a few years back. Have had 2 German Sheppards before Gizmo, so big dogs are no problem.
We did have an AIRBNB in our home (Buddah's Retreat) so we are house-proud and will treat your house the same. We discontinued the AIRBNB when Covid struck. May re-open in a year or 2.
House sitting simply as a change or scenery/holiday. We do have a small Avan, which we can use if the sit requires us to travel 2 or more days. But for closer sits we leave it at home.
We are fit and active and walk every day.
Nonsmokers, social drinkers only. References, D/L 's and Police Checks are available.
Both covid triple vaxxed in February 2022. Flu vaxxed in May 2022 and Jume 23.

It was a pleasure to have Julia and Keith in our house looking after the pets while we were away. They kept in contact with us and we felt comfortable knowing that everything was ok. They are honest, trustworthy, reliable and very friendly. We came home to happy pets and a lovely clean home. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for sitters

Julia and Keith sat for us over the popular Christmas period, for which we are most grateful, as this allowed us to travel for the festive period. They arranged to arrive before we left so that they could meet us & the dogs and we could show them around. They came well equipped for their stay, even thoughtfully bringing their own linen so that we didn't have to strip beds on our return. The dogs were well cared for, had been fed their prescribed diet, and seemed happy. The house was left ... MORE

Julia and Keith were an excellent couple to have in charge of our house and Bailey. When we met them we knew that both our house and Bailey were in safe hands. They gave us regular updates of Bailey which made communication very easy with them and knowing that they were looking after things allowed us to have a stress free holiday, for which we are very grateful. They are honest, trustworthy, reliable and very friendly. We came home to a very happy Bailey and a lovely clean home. Would highly ... MORE

Julia and Keith did an amazing job of looking after our 2 dogs. They left the property and house spotless. There were no issues and we would highly recommend them for any future house sitting arrangements and would definitely ask them to return in the future if available. Our dogs were very happy upon our return so that was fantastic.

Julia and Keith We're perfect to look after Lola. The house was spotless when I returned. There was milk in the fridge and everything was very welcoming. They are a delightful couple and nothing was too difficult. There was excellent communication prior to arrival and throughout their stay. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and I would love to have them stay again.

Thanks Melinda
Julia and Keith did an amazing job looking after our cat Sam and the house, garden and pool. Came home to an exceptionally clean home happy cat and all we had to do was unpack. Thank you again for everything you did. It didn't go un noticed. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for dedicated sitters. Regards Amanda and Brett
 
AMANDA (Rhyll VIC, Mar 2022 - 2 weeks)
Julia and Keith were perfect house sitters and we came home to a house wonderfully clean and in order. They watered out plants and looked after our dog, who was very fortunate to get 2 walks each day. It was nice to meet them for lunch before we left, and we knew we had left everything in good hands.

Julia & Keith Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our pets while we were away. We felt very relaxed on our holiday knowing they were being so well looked after(Lexie did love her walks!) and the house was in good hands. I was very grateful for your flexibility with arrival date and coming and going, you made it all very easy. Thank you so much!!

No rating Julia and Keith spent three weeks caring for Ruby, my Staffy, and my home whilst I was away. Ruby has never had so many walks in her life and loved every minute of it. She was very happy. My home was well cared for and I felt secure. I thoroughly recommend Julia and Keith as house sitters.

House Security

Safe house!

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