61, retired teacher

61, retired teacher

My wife and I have recently retired. Judy was a teacher for over 30 years in both country and city schools and for 12 months in the UK. Throughout her career she held just about every position of responsibility within the school structure including Manager of School Libraries. As an experienced leader she was a mentor to many of the younger staff members. During this time Judy spent a number of years in charge of Student Welfare and was also in charge of the Koori programs, demonstrating her qualities of compassion, understanding, problem solving and integrity.
I was a teacher for 12 years, as Leader of my Department and in charge of organising major events in the private and public schools I worked in, before leaving and taking up the role of Manager of a large Recreation Centre in Melbourne. I then moved to my own business in Sports Management and Program Development before returning to teaching/tutoring and then retiring with my wife to take on the next stage of our lives.
As home owners ourselves we are very aware of the importance and pride one has in one's home and possessions. We believe it is our responsibility to ensure that you find your house exactly the way you left it and ensure that the "little fix it jobs" get done as soon as they appear.
Having had pets of our own and the understanding that they are really very special members of the family we are well aware of the needs and the prospect of doing whatever it takes to ensure their happiness and well-being throughout your trip so you see your pets fit, healthy and happy on your return.

Tony and Judy did a great job looking after our three cats and our house whilst we were away. They left it in a clean and tidy condition when we came home, with all linen washed and even the clothes we accidentally left in the dryer neatly folded on top of our bedroom dresser. They grabbed extra kitty litter and cat food when it ran out which was appreciated as well as gave our eldest cat heart meds daily.

Tony and Judith looked after our place like the experienced sitters they are. Our notes were read and questions asked. They were good with the coming and going of Jetson (dog) from his second home next door. Meep (cat) was the right amount of pleased to see me again. Laundry was done and our place looked well cared for. Our expectations were met, thank you.

Judith and Tony have recently completed a lengthy dog/house sit for us. They are such a lovely couple, so easy to chat with and so mindful of our pets and property. The communication leading up to the sit, during the sit and on handover back to us was comprehensive, easy-going and enjoyable. We had unexpected hiccups with our plans at the start of the sit and had to call on Judy and Tony for extra help, nothing was too much trouble which made our life much easier. Our dogs were very excited ... MORE
 
ALLISON (Bargara QLD, Jul 2022 - 4 weeks)
Tony and Judy did a wonderful job looking after our puppy and our home during our recent two week holiday. Communication leading up to the house sit was great. They capably cared for our puppy, our garden, hydroponics set up, pool, watering of pot plants. When we returned home, our house was spotless, crystal clear pool and all our plants were thriving. We would be very happy to use Tony and Judy for future house sits and recommend them, without reservation, to any prospective home owner
 
GREG AND JACI (Hervey Bay QLD, Jun 2022 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Highly recommend Tony and Judith. This lovely couple took great care of our pets, home and gardens for nearly a fortnight. We had a catastrophe while we were away and we were unsure of our return date due to an accident. Tony and Judith were so supportive and helpful in that we weren't pressured into returning to meet their departure plans, they were quite prepared to rearrange their own arrangements to help out. Thankfully we were able to keep to our original plans but I was ever so ... MORE

MARINA (Fernside South Island, Dec 2019 - 8 days) From Kiwi House Sitters
Judith and Tony were amazing! They arrived 2 days early so we could get to know each other. From the moment I left I had the most relaxing holiday as I knew I didn't have to worry about my home or the cat. Judith sent photos of Shadow being well cared for. They posted a few items for me for my business and when I arrived home the house was spotless and lawns mowed. I would highly recommend them to anyone and hope to stay friends with them.

I would highly recommend Tony and Judy!! They did a marvelous job of looking after our dog, cat, and chickens while we were away for 10 days. Came back to happy pets and a spotless house. Tony and Judy are a very friendly couple, and communication via email and cellphone made the whole arrangement super easy. Thanks so very much!!!!
