Tony and Lyn

76, retired Pastor

78, Retired College First Aid Officer/Teacher Aid

WE ARE BOOKED UNTIL MID SEPTEMBER 2024 AND ARE SEEKING SITS FROM THEN ONWARDS.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DON'T HAVE A CAR AND ARE RELIANT ON PUBLIC TRANSPORT. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET TO YOU AND THE SHOPS BY BUS, TRAIN OR FOOT UNLESS A CAR IS PROVIDED.

We have been house sitting full time for over eight years which has given us a great experience with over a hundred successful sits. Most of these have been done through another site and we are happy to send you the link to our profile on that site where you will find about 8O five star reviews. Folk have been happy and thus have contacted us directly to sit again in which case we haven't asked for another review

Should you be kind enough to engage us as sitters you will find that we communicate well, are totally trustworthy, great with animals and provide excellent care for your home, pets and possessions. We work hard to give you peace of mind whilst you are away.

We are both non smokers and fully vaccinated.

If you would like to go away and wish to engage us to care for your home and pets we would love to hear from you.

We are both Australian although Tony, who is 77, emigrated from the UK in 1970. Lyn is 78 and a true, blue Aussie. We are both active and have successfully experienced a wide variety of house sitting situations. Tony is a retired pastor and bus driver and Lyn has retired from her job in a Christian College in charge of the sick bay (600 secondary school students).

We have three children, all married, and six grandchildren, the oldest is in the Navy, two at University, one working and the other two are still at school.

Our interests are walking, reading, music (Tony plays guitar, Lyn listens!), animals, gardening, house sitting and the opportunity to help people. We find the variety of house sitting exciting and look for the opportunity to be trusted and, in return, be trustworthy.

Tony and Lyn looked after my bull terrier, Bella, for a week while I was on holiday,. They kept me updated with photographs of Bella and messages regarding how she was going. I returned home to a spotless house, healthy plants and a very happy Bella. I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone requiring a pet/house sitter and I would definitely use them again if they were available.
 
REE (Middle Park QLD, Feb 2024 - 1 week)
Tony and Lyn looked after our house and very precious cat Ughy for almost 2 weeks. Even before they arrived, Tony and Lyn were in contact regarding details about Ughy and the house sit. While we were away, they regularly sent through photographs of Ughy at various times of the day – all the time showing how relaxed he was. On our return home the house was very clean and tidy – plus on the table there was a lovely gift and card. We had the good fortune to briefly meet Tony and Lyn at one ... MORE

Thank you Tony and Lyn for taking great care of our cat and home and for leaving us some treats for our return. We’d be more than happy to have you back for future house sits.
 
BIANCA (Chapel Hill QLD, Dec 2023 - 3 weeks)
Tony and Lyn looked after my house, garden and cat very well and I appreciated them keeping in touch during the sit. Their attitude is very professional. My cat was happy which meant I could relax and enjoy my holiday. I found them delightful to deal with and recommend them highly.
 
JULIE (Boonah QLD QLD, Dec 2023 - 1 week 3 nights)
It was a pleasure meeting Tony and Lyn . The housesit experience was seamless, and we appreciate their care for our home and two fur babies . I returned to a well-kept house and two joyful pets. Highly recommended!
 
KYM (Manly West QLD, Dec 2023 - 3 nights)
Lyn & Tony stayed in our home and looked after our two cats Maple & Lily whilst we were in Bali for 3 weeks. They were both amazing. They kept in contact with us and sent photos to keep our minds at ease. Upon return, the house was spotless and the garden and pool had been well cared for. We would highly recommend them to anyone and would use them again if they were ever back in Hervey Bay Thank you so much for everything Lyn & Tony xx
 
DAEL (Torquay QLD, Oct 2023 - 3 weeks)
Tony & Lyn looked after our home, garden and two cats while we were overseas for six weeks. From the initial contact communication was consistently clear and regular, especially through the critical stage leading up to us leaving, them settling in, and then the handover. We received regular updates and cheeky photos of our kitties who looked to be having a wonderful time in their care. Tony managed the pool and garden beautifully, despite challenging weather conditions, and we returned to ... MORE
 
ROBYN (Taree NSW NSW, Aug 2023 - 1 month 2 weeks)
Tony and Lyn looked after our home for 7 weeks and I would not hesitate to recommend then for any house sitting they would apply for. Molly our cat was well looked after and so was our home. It makes going away easy when you have such wonderful and trustworthy people in your home.
 
LYN (Newtown QLD, May 2023 - 1 month 3 weeks)
It was a joy to have Tony and Lyn sit for us, they did such a wonderful job of looking after our house and two fur babies whilst we were away for a week. They were so easy going and great communicators. We came home to happy spoilt pets and a super clean and tidy house. I hope our dates align again for another sit and would highly recommend.
 
KAREN (Dutton Park QLD, Apr 2023 - 1 week)
Lyn and Tony are terrific communicators, which put me at ease during both the lead-up to the sit, and during their stay. I came home to a tidy house and happy pets. They are very experienced and clearly enjoy their time in different places.
 
NIKKI (Paradise Point QLD, Apr 2023 - 1 week 4 days)
Tony and Lyn are excellent sitters and I would highly recommend them! They cared for our gentle giant greyhound Byron and left the house and garden spick and span!
 
DENISE (Shailer Park QLD, Feb 2023 - 9 days)
Lyn and Tony were fantastic, we could not recommend them highly enough. There was an incident with our kitty and they were amazing and calm and kept us informed. We felt very at ease the whole time we were away that everything was being well looked after at home which helped to give us a great vacation. Much appreciated.
 
NICOLE (Highgate Hill QLD, Dec 2022 - 1 month 1 week)
Thank you for the lovely review. Trust you are settled back in and the luggage arrived. Also thank you again for having us - it was a truly delightful sit for us. A meow for Cookie. Warm regards Tony and Lyn
First time using Aussie House Sitters and Tony & Lyn made it a wry pleasant experience. My house was well maintained, neat and tidy on my return and my puppy dog was well cared for and looked after. He was extremely relaxed and happy on our return. I would definitely recommend Tony & Lyn to care for your house and pets.
 
KERRY (The Entrance NSW, Nov 2022 - 1 week 2 days)
Tony and Lyn were wonderful house-sitters. They looked after Kiri and kept us updated regularly with pictures and messages. This was very reassuring. Highly recommended.
 
ROBYN (East Gosford NSW, Nov 2022 - 1 week 6 days)
Happy to recommend Tony and Lynne as house minders for property and pets. It was a pleasure to have known them, and we hope they are available sometime again for us. Jeanette and Greg Toowoomba
 
JEANETTE (Toowoomba South QLD, Dec 2021 - 2 weeks)
Thank you to Tony and Lyn, they did a wonderful job of looking after Noah and the house for seven days. Very considerate people, communicated really well. Noah, our cat, who is normally very shy, warmed up to them. We couldn't have been happier, and 100% recommend them to anyone seeking a housesitter.
