The Caring Minders

Researcher

Researcher

Hello,

Thank you for stopping by on our profile!

We are a friendly, quiet, reliable, organised and non-smoking couple in our mid 40's with no children working as researchers in Adelaide and have been houseminding since mid 2015.

Through house minding, we have had the opportunity to mind and enjoy many loved pets and befriend their wonderful owners. Our experience includes small and big dogs, in- and outdoor cats, chooks/birds, fish, and a lizard. We have taken care of properties of various sizes. While you are away, we will ensure that your house and garden stay in good condition and most importantly that your pet(s) will be lovingly cared for with regular updates with photos.

Our preference goes out to arrangements of longer duration (ranging from between 6 weeks to several months) but are also open to house sits of somewhat shorter duration.

We are more than happy to meet you and your pet(s) in person and chat about how we can help you. Also, in case you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. References and endorsements from completed house sits, police checks, and character references are available.

We look forward to meeting you and exploring if we are a match for you and your pet(s)!

Best regards,
Rene and Sabine

We love René and Sabine and our dog Jampa loves them even more. René and Sabine looked after our home and Jampa (2 year old mini schnauzer) for 9 weeks. They deeply care for animals and were the perfect pawrents for our dog. Their communication is fantastic and even though we were stressed to leave Jampa for so long, they made the whole experience easy, safe and wonderful. We were updated frequently, Jampa (and the house) looked fantastic, happy, healthy and we could see how much he ... MORE

Sabine was an excellent, reliable sitter for my two cats. The house was spotless when I returned and the cats happy, relaxed and well taken care of. Sabine stayed in communication throughout my holidays and updated me with pics. She was also prepared before the sit with an agreement template which showed her experience and attention to detail. Will happily ask Sabine for repeat sits. Highly recommended. Thank you Sabine!
 
JUTTA (Coburg VIC, Aug 2023 - 2 weeks 3 nights)
Sabine is an excellent housesitter. She took wonderful care of our home, cats, and many house plants while we were overseas for three weeks. Sabine sent regular messages with photos and we came home to happy pets and a tidy home. I would highly recommend Sabine!
 
LAURA (West Footscray VIC, Apr 2023 - 2 weeks 5 days)
Sabine was great! Our cat was very happy upon our return and house was clean and tidy. We had regular updates with photos too which we loved.
 
JANIKA (West Footscray VIC, Mar 2023 - 2 weeks)
Renee and Sabine were wonderful and I highly recommend them, they looked after my dog Molly who is 16 and took such good care of her. Communication was fantastic, my house spotless and I could not have had a better experience. They are a lovely couple.
 
REA (Millswood SA, Apr 2021 - 1 month)
This was our first time having an Aussie House Sitter and it was fabulous. We could not have been happier with Sabine and René. The dogs were very happy and did not seem to miss us at all. The house was left in an immaculate condition. We got weekly emails and photos of our dogs and even our chickens. Better than we expected.
 
HELEN (Millswood SA, Feb 2020 - 4 weeks)
We had a fantastic experience and really can't say enough good things about Rene and Sabine as house and pet sitters. They went well above and beyond all expectations in terms of caring for our house and belongings, and of course our gorgeous dog. We came back after 2 weeks away to a spotless house, a very happy puppy, and a home baked cake! They also provided us with plenty of communication while we were away to keep our minds at ease. Rene and Sabine were respectful of our home, ... MORE
 
JULIE (Parkside SA, Jan 2019 - 2 weeks 2 days)
From our very first contact we felt confident that Rene and Sabine were the right people to take care of our home and cat while we went on holiday. From the outset, they were professional, polite, thorough and organised. It was our first experience with housesitters and Rene and Sabine made the process so easy for us. While we were away, they kept in regular contact with us which gave us enormous peace of mind and allowed us to really relax knowing everything was being taken care of so well. ... MORE
 
JANE (Goodwood SA, Dec 2018 - 3 weeks)
I cannot recommend Sabine and Rene too highly. They insisted on fulfilling their sit even though Rene's work had taken him to Adelaide and I would certainly have understood if they had wanted to cancel. Sabine kept me well-informed and even made friends with my very shy cat. I was impressed with their preparation and knew they were very clear about my requirements. The house was left immaculate and I would be very glad to have them house-sit for me again. I recommend them without hesitation.
 
CAROLYNN (Essendon VIC, Aug 2018 - 3 weeks)
No rating Sabine and Rene did a brilliant job looking after our dog, Banjo and our home. Their communication was excellent both pre-stay, during and post-stay. They gave us regular updates on how Banjo was going while we were away and we came home to a very happy dog and clean home. They treated our pet and home like their own and we can't recommend them highly enough.
RICHARD (Doncaster East VIC, Jun 2018 - 1 week 4 days)
No rating Sabine and Renee stayed at our place for 6 weeks looking after our cat. We made the right choice of selecting them. They emailed us couple of time keeping in touch updating of our cat and house. Water our garden, veggies and collect our mail. We will have them again for sure. They kept our house spotless clean and so happy we made the right choice. Ann and Barry.
BARRY (Altona VIC, Aug 2016 - 1 month 1 week)
No rating Sabine & Rene, Cared for our 2 dogs and our home which is on 11/2 acres. They kept in touch via email regularly and maintained our home, collected our mail and washed our dogs and watered our plants. We arrived home and were given a lovely afternoon tea and gifts which was so unexpected. They are a lovely couple and we have no hesitation in recommending them as professional house sitters
CAROL AND GERRY (Hoppers Crossing VIC, Jun 2016 - 2 months 3 weeks)
No rating Rene and Sabine have been looking after our house and pets for 6 weeks. We can highly recommend them as we felt totally confident with their care of house and pets. They kept up to date with regular emails. Our house was spotless when we returned from our holiday.
