I am a long-term member of Aussie House Sitters and take great pride in caring for people's pets and maintaining their homes. I would be around a fair bit in the day as I now work from home
Kerrin and I live in Noosa, I am an ex-Melburnian and visit frequently, and always over Christmas till at least the end of January. I house sit regularly for friends (2 dogs, 2 cats), as well as those on Aussie House Sitters, as I now have more time to spend in Melbourne to catch up with old friends and have a day or two at the tennis in January. I have a great love of animals and support several animal welfare charities.
I am a reliable and responsible individual, respectful of others, flexible with my time, and clean and tidy. I am more than happy to look after gardens, pot plants and do any other domestic maintenance (swimming pools, lawn mowing, etc). I am preferably looking for sits close to the city or the inner south-east and bayside suburbs.
Kerrin usually comes down for a week or two when I am in Melbourne so she is usually with me for part of a stay. Your home and pets will be cared for as if they were our own.
I am also very happy to keep in contact while you are away, and send photos and video clips of your loved ones.

No rating Rob was a fantastic house-sitter. He looked after our house as if it was his own and took excellent care of our two cats, our turtle, and our lizard - to the extent that our cats now get along better than when we left! He went above and beyond what we expected, and was communicative and respectful. It made going overseas for a month a relaxing and rejuvenating experience, as we knew we didn't have to worry about our home or our pets at all. This was our first experience with a ... MORE

Rob was the best house sitter. I returned to my home as I left it and my pets have never been happier. Thanks for looking after my animals, I know they secretly love you. And my plants and garden. I would highly recommend Rob to look after your home and pets. Thanks Again Rob!

Couldn't recommend Rob highly enough, he was prompt with communication and took such great care of our two cats and our apartment. We were sent lovely updates and came home to some very happy and relaxed cats! Hope to have Rob back in future :)

Rob was very nice. The communication was clear. He came to introduce himself. He even sent pics while we were away and my daughter loved that. We hope we can see him again

Rob was a great house sitter that was easy to communicate with and took great care of our cat. He left our place nice and clean as well. I would definitely recommend Rob as a house sitter.
 
JIMMY (South Yarra VIC, Dec 2020 - 3 weeks)
We found Robert very easy to communicate with. We returned to a sparkling clean house, a well-maintained pool and a very contented dog. Robert has been generous in his care of our dog and our house in general. We would welcome Robert back any time.
 
FIONA (Glen Iris VIC, Dec 2019 - 3 weeks)
A big thank you to Rob. Our dog Bruno was very well looked after and loved. Great communication whilst we were away and we came home to a beautifully cleaned house. Would definitely use Rob again. Highly recommend.

Safe house!

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