The Perfect Carer

73, Retired

67, Retired

We are retired and like to travel in our caravan. Housesitting is thei
perfect way to see this beautiful country. Caring for a property gives us the opportunity to really explore an area as well as relax in the environment.
We live in a rural town and come from farming backgrounds.
John and I have 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren. Since retiring we have been on call with various duties of caring for our grandchildren. We are now free to tour.
We are very capable of caring for your property and animals if required.
Our house sits include Hastings on Mornington Peninsula.
Farm close to Mansfield, Victoria.
Goodwood Island, near Yamba NSW.
Ashby close to Clarence River. NSW

As always, Marg and John are exceptional housesitters. Just lovely people. Once again took great care of house/dog/chook/plants/garden. We hope to have them housesit again soon.

John and Marg were just amazing! It was our first time using house sitters and our dog is very old, but they were better than we could have hoped for. Left the house spotlessly clean, and did more than expected like mowed the lawns and baked us a delicious meal on return, as well as leaving milk and bread etc. Our old girl was well looked after and we can't thank them enough for such a great experience. If you get the chance, don't hesitate to use Marg and John to look after your home.

This was our first time having house sitters and John and Marg were wonderful. Very experienced and set out minds at ease from the minute they walked in. Took great care of the house, our puppy (who can be a handful), the chickens, and the plants. The house looked better when we returned then when we left it! And they baked us a delicious lasagna. They were courteous, communicative, considerate, and flexible. Anytime we head of out town, we now know whom to call. Many thanks Marg and John!

John and Marg were great house sitters for when our family were away. They took such great care of our house and our fur baby Gypsy. Communication was great with us as well. Highly recommend John and Marg if you need a house sitter .

John and Margaret are excellent house sitters and we highly recommend them. They were easy to communicate with, and kept us well informed on how our dogs were going. On our return our dogs were relaxed and happy, our home clean and warm, with dinner in the fridge. Thank you john and Margaret.

John and Margaret were exactly the people we were hoping to have as our house sitters. It felt like we already knew them - like long lost friends. We appreciated the updates via texts as to how life was back home. Our cats took to them immediately and that was reassuring for us. Our home was spotless when we arrived back and a lovely lasagne waiting for our dinner. We would certainly recommend John and Margaret to everyone. They will be our first call when we travel again. Thank you both again ... MORE

PAUL & CAROL (Ballina NSW, Aug 2020 - 1 week 4 days)
Recently Marg and John house and dog sat for us while we went overseas on holidays. Prior to leaving one of our dogs became seriously ill. Marg and John regularly kept us updated with photos and messages on his recovery which gave us piece of mind to enjoy our time away. They have now looked after our home and pets twice and we would love to have them return to do it again if they are available. We have found them to be empathetic, kind, diligent and honest. Our dogs were in excellent ... MORE

Huge thanks to Marg and John. They did a fantastic job of looking after our wayward dog and demanding cat. They also did a wonderful job of looking after our house and yard. They were very thoughtful and ensured we could relax and enjoy our trip by sending lots of photos of 2 very relaxed and happy animals. We returned home to a wonderfully clean house with a lovely home cooked meal, homemade goodies and lots of other welcoming touches. We discovered a few days later that they had even ... MORE

No rating It was a pleasure to have Margaret and John house-sit. They were fantastic in looking after the place and the animals. The house was immaculate when I arrived back and they even did extra cleaning tasks that was thoughtful and generous. I have no hesitation in recommending them for future house-sits.
