We have sold our lifestyle block, dream home and animals, preferring to travel and the good company of new friends. We are currently undecided about our final destination. Over 20 years of farming and living rural we have looked after neighbours properties taking care of pets, livestock and homes whilst they have been away - including feeding and caring for farm animals and pets. We resigned from our jobs in November 2015 and have spent the last 18 months or so travelling the world and house sitting. We have enjoyed the hospitality of many kind, like minded people across the world. We love life, people, animals, good wine, good coffee, good food and great company.
Our pet-caring experience is extensive and varied - dogs (large & small),cats, fish, ponies, sheep, quails, chickens etc.
If you have pets, be assured that we truly appreciate the security they feel with a familiar schedule/exercise/playtime routine and promise you that your customs, requirements and feeding schedule will be adhered to.
However, we know from experience, it's not just animals who can suffer from separation anxiety! To remedy this we send regular updates of your pets.
We are practical people and as experienced house sitters are used to dealing with a wide variety of issues - blown fuses, power outages, water issues, pools, security, etc.
In summary: - - We offer honesty, reliability and commitment. - We guarantee security-conscious, respectful care of your property. - We assure you that your pets will have plenty of attention and loving company whilst you are away.
If you want to check out what we've been up to for the last 2 years feel free to check out our blog - please contact us for the link. There's no advertisements and we're not trying to sell anything. Its just a fun record of our travels and housesits.
We are always keen to Skype or Facetime to get to know you and answer any important questions.
We very much look forward to hearing from you.

It was wonderful to meet Jenny and Peter and I immediately knew they would be wonderful people to take care of our pets over the Easter break.
Our cat and dog were cared for beautifully and were both is great spirits on our return. Jenny updated me regularly with messages and also photos of Harvey and Evie.
Our house and garden were extremely well maintained. We feel very lucky to have met Jenny and Peter and would highly recommend them as they are fantastic house-sitters.

Jenny and Peter are amazing house sitters. They provided wonderful care for Charlie our large rescue dog and the house was left in an immaculate state. Great communication and we felt completely relaxed knowing Charlie and our home were in such great hands. We would love them to house sit for us again

Thank you Jenny and Peter. You went out of your way to provide absolutely everything we needed in a house sitter. Smudge was calm and happy and the house was immaculate. Thank you for keeping us up-dated on the home front. Anyone needing a pet and/or house sitter could not do better!
CLAIRE (The Gap QLD, Nov 2023 - 1 week 2 nights)
Jenny and Peter were just great house and pet sitters. When I returned feeling jaded after nearly 6 weeks away my house was immaculate and my dog happy. They sent me regular photos and updates and clearly enjoyed hanging out with Cecil. I would recommend them to anyone looking for brilliant house sitters and would certainly have them back again!

We could not have asked for more from Jenny and Peter. They were absolute professionals. From the communication before hand to keeping us up to date with pics from our dogs. We came back to a tidier house than we left it and even our garden had been weeded :). We felt at complete ease on our holiday due to the reassurance and communication they provided. We were also delayed and there ability to be flexible even though they had another house sit was awesome. We would consider ourselves lucky to ...

Great house sitters! Would recommend!
SAMUEL (Yeppoon QLD, Sep 2022 - 3 days)
Jenny and Peter were fantastic house sitters. They showed our cat and dog so much care and attention! Until this holiday we had not left our dog for more than a few days. It was comforting to go away knowing our pets would be happy and well looked after. Jenny and Peter are genuine animal lovers and took our dog out and about with them. Jenny even sent photos of our pets most days which was amazing. They are genuinely live people and I highly recommend Jenny and Peter as house sitters.

Amazing house sitters who were very patient and good with my somewhat nervous dog. They managed to win her over in a very short amount of time which is very reassuring to us. The house was well looked after and sparkly clean and the animals were well looks after , fed and walked and they appeared very happy. Thank you very much and all the best for your future house sittings

Jenny and Peter are wonderful house sitters and I'd welcome them back anytime. We received very regular updates and photos about our dog (who was spoilt with walks, attention and affection by Jenny and Peter during their stay). We also came home to a sparkling clean house and thriving plants. Jenny and Peter are genuinely lovely people to talk to and deal with and I highly recommend them as sitters. Thank you so much Jenny and Peter!

Jenny and Peter looked after our precious Cavaliers for 4 days while we were away on business. We were so happy to have this lovely couple taking care of things for us. Jenny kept us updated every day with photos and little snippets of information on what our fur babies were doing. We felt really confident in their abilities which made our time away relaxed and stress-free. We have enjoyed them so much, they will be doing another house-sit for us in March. I cannot recommend them enough! Really ... MOREJenny and Peter looked after our precious Cavaliers for 4 days while we were away on business.

Jenny and Peter are fantastic house sitters and lovely people. In fact, they are the best house sitters we've ever had! They kept us in the loop with gorgeous photos of our two fur babies everyday. Our house was left in immaculate condition when we arrived home and we wouldn't hesitate to have .them house sit again. Actually you're crazy if you don't choose them!!

Thank you so much, Jenny and Peter for taking such great care of our Kiki and our home. We highly recommend them for future house sits and will happily ask if they are available to housesit on our next trip.
Thank you again!

Jenny and Peter have house sat for me now on 2 occasions over December 2015 and January 2016. I could not have hoped to find better house sitters. They cared for our dog Daisy with love and attention and she thrived in their company. They kept in contact to assure us on how our home and Daisy were going. Moreover they maintained the house in immaculate condition and we came home to a lovely note and gifts. I highly recommend Peter and Jenny and am happy to provide further references as ...

Happy pets!
A house sitter provides loving, full-time, home-based pet-care while you're away.
