We are a retired couple and have been travelling this beautiful country of ours for over 7 years now. Would love to do short or medium term house or farm sitting so we can enjoy each area, one at a time. Richard and I have many varied skills and can turn our hands to most things thrown at us, I know we can meet the needs of anyone who needs assistance and wants peace of mind for their property and pets. We can supply excellent references from previous employers and other reputable house sits. Give us a call or send an email, you wont be disappointed. Looking forward to visiting and caring for your home in another corner of this great land.

Christine and Richard are truly beautiful people. They cared for our dog's George and Tyler as if they were there own. They cared for our house and garden just the same.
We wouldn't hesitate recommending them to anyone.
Our boys can be a little apprehensive about new people. But within a day or two. Christine and Richard won there approval.
We came home to very happy dog's and a wonderfully cared for home. Thank you Christine and Richard. We hope to see you again one day.

Thank you and hope our paths cross again. Cheers Richard and Christine
We couldn’t be happier with Christine and Richard, even after they had personal dramas with their own trip they chose to stick to the commitment to sit our home and took great care of our pets. Very pleased to recommend them to future house sits.
LUKE (Shorewell Park TAS, Dec 2023 - 4 weeks)
It was my pleasure to continue with your sit as promised. Christine is on the mend and we both wish the the best in the future. Cheers Richard
Highly recommend Christine & Richard as TOP House Sitters. Although this was only a short sit they handled it in a very professional manner. Communication was good from first contact until their departure.
They are very fond of animals and spoke with warmth when speaking of animals they had cared for on other sits.
Our cat was calm and loving on our return and the house was in clean condition. We would not hesitate to seek them out again.

Hi Rae & Rob
Thankyou for sharing your piece of Paradise alongside the impressive Mt Roland, you have a lovely home and Mr Tibbs was a perfect gentleman. Enjoy your peace and quiet.
Wow first time using Aussie House Sitters and we are so happy. Richard and Christine were amazing and we were able to go away knowing that our house was in good hands but more importantly that out 2 fur babies would be well looked after. Seeing how comfortable Axel & Willow were with Richard & Christine was so reassuring. We def have no reservations in recommending them for house/pet sits. 2 of the loveliest and most caring people we have met. I do believe even our plants thrived under ...

CHRISTINE (East Victoria Park WA, Dec 2022 - 1 week 4 days)
My pleasure. Lovely home owners. Thanks
We would like to thank Christine and Richard for the exceptional love and care they gave to our home and pets during their sit. They sent us regular updates whilst we were away, showing how much our dog was NOT missing us. On our return we found the lawns mowed, gardens tended and the house cleaned. We highly recommend Christine and Richard for any house sitting position they may apply for. We wish them happy and safe travels.
CAROLL (Mariginiup WA, Nov 2022 - 3 weeks)
Very caring, thoughtful and giving hosts. Real pleasure to call you friends.
Richard is one of the loveliest people we have ever met. Very friendly and easy going. Took great care of our dogs and lawn and even drove us to/from airport voluntarily. Christine was away visiting grandchildren when Richard house sat for us. Would have him back anytime. Highly recommend.
JESS (Port Hedland WA, Sep 2022 - 3 days)
Richard was easy to talk to, looked after the house and garden, and most importantly my furbaby, Sage, loved him!! Richard regulary sent photos of Sage, gave me some comfort leaving my furbaby at home.
Definitely would use Richard and Christine
again if they available and recommend to everyone.
WULAN (Durack NT, Jun 2022 - 1 week 2 days)
Would recommend Richard and Christine over and over again! Thank you for looking after our home and caring for Zy (dog) as your own! Zy is still moping around since Richard left. Richard was kind enough to do many odd jobs around our home and we are very grateful. Thank you! Thank you!
TISHANA (Woodroffe NT, Jun 2022 - 1 week 3 days)
Thanks and my pleasure.
Christine and Richard made our time away even more enjoyable knowing our home and fur babies were being well cared for.
Their communication while we were away, updating us on our babies, assuring us they were well looked after was great.
Coming home the house was immaculate the garden well cared for and our babies very content.
We couldn't recommend them highly enough and would certainly welcome them back.
LISA (Howard Springs NT, May 2022 - 1 week 2 days)

We had the absolute pleasure of having Christine and Richard look after our house and fur babies over the Christmas holidays.
They are very experienced house sitters and a beautiful, friendly couple.
They went above and beyond in their care for our babies and even sent us Christmas photos.
We came home to a very clean house and even the lawns were mowed!
Very impressed by this duo's care for our home and our fur babies. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

LEIGH AND YON (Toogoom QLD, Dec 2019 - 1 week 5 days)
A big thank you to Christine and Richard for looking after our place while we were away. Looking after the garden, feeding chooks, dealing with turkey and lots of fish and keeping the place clean, wonderful sitters and would highly recommend them> We wish them all the best in their future travels, and once again thank you.
LOUISE (Dundowran Beach QLD, Nov 2019 - 2 weeks)
Richard and Christine arrived for a meet and greet prior to their stay and their warmth instantly radiated. Both are experienced in managing acreage and went above and beyond on our block. Gardens and the house were maintained beautifully (dare I say better than we manage!) the dogs absolutely loved them and soon were in a pickle as to who to choose when we got home.

Communication was fantastic yet small things were handled without interrupting our holiday. The larger things such as taking our ill chook to the vet were discussed with us.
Christine and Richard were welcome to stay a couple days longer when we arrived home and they continued to help us immensely with caravan maintenance and daily running of the household.
It was a pleasure to have them stay for our first house sit experience and it certainly was a stress free experience.
Thank you so much for everything you have done
Highly highly recommend!

We were incredibly fortunate to have Christine and Richard look after our house and our dog Barry for two weeks. It was clear from the outset that they were very caring and experienced housesitters which meant we were able to truly relax on our holiday, knowing everything was being well looked after at home.

What can I say about Christine and Richard other than they are nothing but wonderful, amazing people.
They have taken so much care for our home and our dog Betsy that it would be a privilege for us to have them in our home again, anytime day or night.
They took impeccable care of our home and we cannot thank them enough for this.
They even went the extra mile as to cut the lawns, drop off and pick up from the airport and Christine cooked a fabulous lasagne as a welcome home.

Our dog normally sulks a while for the first few days we are away but not on this occasion - she was too busy having adventures and being loved by Christine and Richard :-)
They would be without a doubt my first pick for house sitters if our paths crossed again.
Please do yourself a favour and if they guys apply for your house sit then snap them up - you will not get better than these magnificent people.
Once again thank you Christine and Richard.
Enjoy safe travels on your continued journey and please keep in touch xx
SHEA (Sunset Beach WA, Feb 2019 - 2 weeks 6 days)
Shane and I had the pleasure of having Richard and Christine look after our property and pets. To know that your home is being looked after with pride and care makes us proud to recommend this wonderful couple without hesitation. We were very grateful for the 5 star service they gave us.
SHANE AND JAYNE BROWN (Dongara WA, Jan 2019 - 3 weeks)

JOLENE (Perth WA, Nov 2018)
Richard and Christine met all our expectations in caring for our large garden and poultry. They kept us informed while we were away which was much appreciated. The house and garden looked immaculate on our return. We would confidently recommend Richard and Christine to others.
JANE (Gidgegannup WA, Oct 2018 - 1 week 3 days)
Richard and Christine did a great job. Thanks Guys. We had good communication before and after the house sitting. On return everything was really great. Neat and tidy as we left it. The hens, fish and pool were all good. Could not have been happier. They are now friends and are welcome back anytime. We recomment them highly to anyone who needs their precious home and pets looked after.
PETER (Wandina WA, Mar 2018 - 1 month 1 week)
We were very lucky to have Christine and Richard come and stay on our 5 acre property for 3 weeks and look after our energetic and sometimes 'demanding-of-play' red cloud kelpie! We returned to a beautifully clean house, the hens in great shape and the garden thriving. We have no hesitation in recommending this warm friendly couple and hope they may be in our area when we need a house sitter again! We wish you happy and safe travelling.
Cheers Jan and Barry
BARRY AND JAN (Toodyay WA, Feb 2018)
Christine and Richard are great house sitters and lovely friendly people. It was a treat to come home to contented happy pets, a clean and tidy home and a freshly cut green lawn . They took care af everything. Thank you so much. A lovely end to our already great holiday.
MARY JANE (Waikiki WA, Feb 2018)
What a fantastic couple! Richard and Christine took such great care of our home and pets. They went the extra mile getting chicken necks as treats for our dogs and even mowing the lawn. The house was impeccable when we got home and they are just true salt of the earth good honest caring people. Would have them back again in a heart beat, and so would out doggies
CAROL (Armadale WA, Jan 2018 - 1 week 3 days)
Well what can we say about these perfect sitters...absolutely wonderful people, they cared and loved our animals as if they were their own.

Kind Regards Gerry and Maree Hyde

Christine and Richard were so wonderful, they looked after our dogs and home as if it were there's.
All our dogs needs were meet and the dogs even had a sook as they drove away.
While we were away a freak storm hit Kalgoolie we had tiles blow off our house roof, damaged fences and days without power, they not only fixed the fence and roof damage but also hooked there generator up to our chest freezer to save our frozen food.

They certainly went above and beyond and we couldn't recommend them enough.
Such a wonderful kind couple and would love to have them back.

JENNA (South Kalgoorlie WA, Nov 2017 - 2 weeks 2 days)
We couldn't recommend Christine and Richard enough, fantastic, bubbly and enthusiastic people.
Christine and Richard looked after our 20acre property for two weeks, they cared for our fur babies like their own, so much so that I think our dog would still prefer they were here.
We got to enjoy our holiday knowing our home was being well looked after and came home to a sparkling clean house.
Thank you both and we hope to see you again.
JODI AND DON (Darwin River NT, Jul 2017)
Christine and Richard left our property clean and tidy which we were very thankful for. We also appreciated the few odd jobs (picking up our mail from the post office, mowing our lawns, buying tablets for our dogs) they did for us while we were away on holidays. It was lovely to come back from our holidays to a clean home!
JACINTA (Palmerston NT, Jun 2017 - 4 weeks)
Christine and Richard were great, they even accommodation a last minute extra pooch from a friend who was also tarveling. They are warm and friendly people and it was an absolute pleasure having them, Richard even tackled our front lawn for us. In summary Christine and Richard are friendly, trustworthy people who genuinely will look after your house and pets like they are there own and We would highly recommended them to anybody.
We hope to have the pleasure of them sitting again for us. ;)
AARON (Darwin NT, Jun 2017 - 1 week 2 days)
This was the first time we have had a holiday in a number of years and my partner was to say the least, very reluctant about allowing strangers in our house. In addition, having acreage with a variety of animals was also a major concern. However when Christine and Richard rolled up with their caravan and engaged with our three energetic dogs we were able to relax and feel confident we had made the right decision. Christine and Richard were warm and friendly and took everything in their stride. ...

Christine and Richard were warm and friendly and took everything in their stride. We returned from three weeks away to a clean and tidy house, mowed lawns and most importantly - all our critters (three dogs, three cats, two alpacas, nine chooks and a peacock) all healthy and happy. Christine and Richard did a fantastic job and we would be more than happy to recommend them.
TRACY (Kersbrook SA, Apr 2017)
Christine and Richard were a lovely friendly couple who looked after my house and pets. I enjoyed my weekend away knowing that everything was being looked after, they even sent me pics of my doggie on the beach. Would highly recommend them.
TRACY (Port Noarlunga South SA, Feb 2017 - 3 days)
Safe house!
There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
