The Tall & Short Sitters

61, Semi Retired Farmer

60, Recently Retired School Teacher

• Wendy grew up in a rural lifestyle mid north coast NSW, Moved to Qld's Darling Downs area to take up a teaching post in the Primary School System, teaching grades from early childhood to grade 5 over the years. Wendy is a quiet reserved lady who is quite comfortably at home, in the garden, walking and caring for animals.
• Ian grew up on Qld's western Darling Downs area where he has been involved in mixed dairying enterprise, beef cattle, grain growing and small crops. Ian enjoys spending time with all animals (misses his horses, dogs & cattle) and has a keen love of nature and takes pride in a job well done.
• We have the "old" generational mindset & integrity, are mature, responsible, non-smokers, rarely drink and never do drugs. We prefer an afternoon bbq with friends rather than frequent clubs, pubs or wild parties.

WHY WE HOUSE SIT
• Chance to experience life in a different town, state, country and climate that we might not normally visit
• Opportunity to build connections with a variety of pets and different animal species
• Enjoy keeping active through gardening, maintenance work and looking after a home
• Visit local points of interest and mingling with the locals

OUR CURRENT SITUATION
• Sold our farm to travel around Australia and to overseas destinations
• House-sitting is often the reason we will head to a particular town, region or country.
• We are prepared to travel throughout Australia, being very flexible where we go and for how long we stay.

OUR AIMS
• To work with you prior to our appointment to ensure you feel completely comfortable with us looking after your pets and property.
• To provide a caring environment for your pets and ensure they are happy, healthy and loved while you are away
• To care for your property and gardens as we would our own and leave them in as good or better condition than when we first arrived
• Thank you for viewing our profile. Please feel free to contact us anytime to discuss your house and pet sitting needs. Let us know what animals you have and we'll let you know how our experience matches your needs. Lawn care and minor property maintenance will happily be attended to....
Thank you for considering us as your Sitters.

Reviews:
Ian and Wendy house sat for us in January 2015. We were very happy with the way they looked after our home, 2 dogs, gardens and general items. We returned home to a clean, fresh and well cared for property. The 2 dogs were very much happy with the company and love they were given from both Ian and Wendy too. We would happily and gladly welcome them into our home at any time in the future.

We had the pleasure of having Ian and Wendy look after our farm while we took a short break in March 19. We were able to enjoy our break knowing that our farm and animals were in good care. Ian has a wealth of experience with farm animals and we appreciated his ability to deal with any issues that arise around the property. Everything was neat and tidy when we returned home and were pleased that Ian and Wendy were able to explore our valley during their visit.
 
JOHN AND HEATHER, LOCKYER VALLEY QLD. (Thornton QLD, Mar 2019 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Ian and Wendy are our first house sitters, and we could not have picked a better couple. From the time we made first contact to the last day everything was easy. Ian is so easy going it was like we had known him our whole life. I would be very happy to have them back to look after our home and dog. I can whole heartedly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a trusted and caring couple. Regards, Graham, Sue and Josie (dog).

We came home to a spotless house and a very happy and healthy dog (Milo). He was obviously well looked after. Thank you Ian and Wendy. Thank you also for cleaning the bird cage which we did not expect you to do!
 
MARIE (Point Vernon QLD, Oct 2021 - 2 weeks)
Wendy and Ian were very easy to communicate with and came by prior to house sit for chat which we appreciated. They looked after our home, garden and our two fur babies, Buddha the cat and Jessie the dog, and all was wonderful when we returned. They were very flexible when we had to come back a day late and changed the original sit from Feb to December due to COVID. Would highly recommend them, thanks guys for everything
 
RHONDA (Bongaree QLD, Feb 2021 - 1 week 3 days)
Absolutely fantastic. Ian and Wendy house sat for us for 12 days and we came home to our tribe of animals who were all happy, healthy and obviously very well cared for. Our house had been looked after as if it were us still here, and even though we were in Fiji, the communication was great. This was our first time using house sitters and we really couldn't have asked for mor friendly, fun and caring people. We have no choice but to say they come highly recommended from us.
 
KERRY (Wallarobba NSW, Jul 2019 - 1 week 4 days)
We wish to sincerely thank Wendy and Ian for their meticulous care of our new home and Bella, our aging cavoodle. We were first time users of a house sitter and were a little apprehensive at first, however, our conversations by phone and subsequent meeting quickly elayed these concerns. Ian and Wendy did not disappoint. The garden and house were meticulously maintained. They even went the extra mile by fertilising our newly laid turf lawn and sprayed our weeds! Bella was also happy and ... MORE

Ian and Wendy did a fantastic job caring for our home. House was left in excellent condition and all animals were well cared for. Would recommend them as house sitters.
