We are a friendly husband and wife who are predominantly based on the Sunshine Coast. Maddy currently works from home and Andrew has been part from home/part from the office since Covid, so we are ideal house sitters and will always be around for your home's security and for keeping your pets company.

We are home owners ourselves and understand the stress of having strangers care for your property, having left a tenant in our home in Victoria when we moved up to Queensland. We aim to make that as easy and stress free for you as possible.

We are great with animals and have a lot of love for fur babies (or feather babies, plant babies or even scaly babies) which makes us the ideal house sitter for you and your menagerie if you are heading away on holidays and want peace of mind that your home is in good hands! As experienced pet owners and sitters (we've pet sit for numerous friends and family, as well as professionally and foster care), we know how to give your pets the care they need to reduce their separation anxiety when you take your well earned break.

Our relevant experience/skills include caring for:

Puppies
Anxious Dogs
Cats
Birds
Exotic Animals (aquariums, snakes, lizards)
Livestock
Vegetable Gardens
General Gardening
General Property Maintenance
Physically Active and Strong (for big or active dogs/animal care)

Have confidence in your house sitters so you can enjoy your holidays! Get in touch anytime, we are happy to answer queries.

No rating We can't recommend Maddy and Andrew highly enough - they were easy to communicate with in the lead up to housesitting, and the whole time we were away. We returned home to a warm welcome including a meal in the fridge and spotless house (thank you!!). Our fur babies had been very well cared for and we will definitely be seeing if Maddy and Andrew are available to housesit again next time we are away :)

It was an absolute breeze having Andrew and Maddy housesit for us. They kept the house beautifully clean and organised and managed to keep the animals and plants happy in the intense heat whilst we were away. And they seem to have made some new furry friends; our cat adores them and the dogs had a great time playing with them! We'd have them back anytime!
 
CORINNE (Bendigo VIC, Jan 2019 - 3 days)
My husband and I are very happy with Andrew and Madeline as house sitters for the following reasons; A) Due to their experience with problem dogs, our dogs are now better behaved. B) They kept our plants alive from the Victorian heatwave, which required constant watering. C). Our house was "epic & span", albeit inside two dogs and a cat. D). Did some washing. E.) Maintained communication throughout their stay. Apart from the list above, they are thoughtful and kind. For example, ... MORE

Andrew & Maddy house sit for us for 9.5 weeks and we would not hesitate having them to look after our house and cat again. The house was left spotless and they kept us regularly informed on the health of our elderly cat. They have a cheerful friendly demeaner and we immediately established an effective rapport with them.

No rating Maddy & Andrew were great house sitters, but most importantly brilliant dog sitters for our fur baby. We had good communication prior to 'The Sit', including Skype calls and an in-person get together. They maintained contact with us during our time away, sending msgs and photos. All the things we asked them to keep an eye on were done ... and more! Our home was spotless when we arrived, and a meal left for us after our long haul home. Maddy and Andrew are a lovely, honest and reliable ... MORE

Safe house!

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