We're retired from fairly full-on jobs and are now enjoying more time together. Both of us have just finished studying a Diploma of Family History at UTAS via online to keep our minds active. Michael is also preparing a couple of books which are being published this year and next. We've had dogs and cats all our lives, plus at various times chooks and goats. Our last dog and cat both died aged 17 so housesitting gives us our 'pet fix'.

Since joining Aussie House Sitters we've 'sat' dogs, cats, birds (including a very large aviary), chooks, a couple of rabbits, and fish. We've also had 'sits' that have come from personal recommendations and not through this site.

But we're also happy to housesit without pets.

We're gardeners and had 2 acres with fruit and nut trees and large veggie gardens until we moved to a smaller suburban block when we no longer had pets. We're house proud and will look after your house as if it were our own.

Non-smokers

I've had successful National Police Checks throughout my working life but haven't renewed the NPC or Working with Children registration as I'm now retired so they're no longer needed.

We've had our covid vaccinations.

Kim and Michael were perfect housesitters and our dogs took to them both straight away. We found communication beforehand excellent and we felt very comfortable leaving our home and treasured dogs in their care whilst we were away. They walked our dogs twice a day and they kindly came to us two day's before we left, to settle in with the dogs and to get the run of our house etc. We won't hesitate in asking them if they are available in the future. A lovely couple!

Michael and Kim were very helpful for our short sit and we appreciated their willingness to do a short sit. The dogs were very chilled and relaxed when we returned which is the most important thing to us. Both Michael and Kim were good communicators and left our house clean and tidy.
 
JULIE (Karoola TAS, Jun 2023 - 3 days)
We were very pleased to receive Kim & Michael's communication regarding our upcoming housesit. We'd had the pleasure of using them previously and were very happy to repeat the process. Our rescue cat, Jesse is very timid, and we were apprehensive about leaving him with strangers. However, we left home quite happily leaving him in the kind care of Kim & Michael. We came home to a neat & clean house, and, more importantly, to a happy cat! We've already asked if they will be available for ... MORE

Michael and Kim met us and stayed with us night before our departure. We enjoyed their company. On return our house was spotless with all their washing on the line. Cat very happy . Great house sitters obviously comfortable in their role. Highly recommend them both. Thank you Michael and Kim.

Kim and Michael were the perfect house/pet sitters. We knew from first meeting that they would be conscientious with looking after the house, and especially in looking after our (small) maine coon cat. They watered the garden, put out our wheelie bin and washed sheets so all would be well on our return. Most importantly, our cat was happy!

Thanks for the good review Geoff. We'd be hapy to sit Dennis again if the opportunity arose. Regards Kim
Kim and Michael were such lovely people, so we were happy to head off on our short holiday leaving our very loved pets in their care. The house was spotless on our return home, and we would be very happy to have them "sit" for us again. We'd definitely recommend them to others!!

No rating Kim and Michael were terrific house sitters who did everything we asked of them. We really appreciated meeting them well before the "sit" as it gave our old cat a chance to meet them and be familiar with them when they arrived for the stay. We are pleased they took the opportunity to explore our area. We would be very pleased to endorse them, and perhaps they might be able to sit for us again.

No rating Recently we were fortunate enough to have the lovely Kim and Michael housesit for us when we were away for a week. After getting in contact through the Aussie House sitters website, and reading their blurb, I felt relaxed knowing that we had someone reliable and capable to take care of our dog and parrot, and of course our house, which is set on 6 acres of bush and only has tank water, and wouldn't appeal to just anyone. Upon meeting Kim and Michael the morning we were leaving, I was ... MORE

Kim and her husband were excellent sitters who went above and beyond looking after our property and pets. They even stacked our wood and pruned some fruit trees and left their room and house immaculate - even the dogs appeared more behaved when we returned. Highly recommended this lovely couple and hope they can stay again - we promise TV reception next time!! Donna and Iain

No rating Michelle and myself, were both more than pleased with the effort both Kim & Michael, put into caring for our animals and house while away. We came home to a clean house and happy animals. Well done guy's we would both recommend you to house sit at any bodies house. Jason & Michelle

House sitters don't get any better!. Meeting prior to the house sit gave me confidence that our home, garden and animals were in the best hands (lovely people!). Our home was immaculately kept in our absence, the garden was still flourishing and our pets were very obviously quite content when we arrived home. Thankyou for looking after "everything" wonderfully!. We would love to have you back again! Regards Sheryl
 
SHERYL (Notley Hills TAS, Apr 2017 - 1 week 3 days)
No rating Thank you Kim and Michael for making my time away less stressful and taking great care of Jazz who was very relaxed. The house was left clean and tidy. I would love to have you house sit again. I would highly recommend them to anyone who was wanting reliable and honest housesitters. Many thanks Michael and Kim.

Green garden!

Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
