Trusty House Sitters

68, Retired Grounds and Maintenance

64, Retired teacher

We are an active, reliable, trustworthy, non-smoking Australian couple who are starting the retirement phase of our lives. We enjoy travelling and discovering new places.
We have been homeowners for over 45 years and have previously owned rental properties. We have dealt with a number of home improvement projects and have successfully resolved the odd emergency in a timely manner.
We have also owned a sailing catamaran and lived aboard for 8 years in SE Asia, so we are familiar with problem-solving in unfamiliar surroundings.
Noel particularly enjoys gardening and worked as a golf course Greenskeeper and owned and operated a garden and landscaping business in Western Australia. He is very familiar with most lawnmowers (including ride-on mowers), brush cutters and their maintenance,
Tina, a primary school teacher, has recently retired from full time employment as the Head of Junior (Primary) School at a rural boarding school. Tina has a natural attention to detail and is the organiser in our family,
Noel has also retired from working with the maintenance team and driving buses at the same school. He has owned several rural properties and has spent a number of years working with horses, cattle and pigs.
Throughout our lives, we have owned or cared for a number of animals including alpacas, horses, cattle, goats, dogs, cats, cockatiels, rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks, chooks, budgies, fish, blue tongue lizards and even a tortoise! We understand most pets are happier being cared for in their home environment.
Over the last few years, we have had the opportunity to enjoy a number of house/pet sits in Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia, New Zealand and Thailand. We are a very conservative stay-at-home couple, who will look after your home, belongings, gardens and pets as we do our own.
We can provide regular photos and updates of your property/pets if required.
Our commitment is to look after your home and care for your furry, feathered friends as you do. Together, we will keep your home and gardens clean and tidy, so you can relax on your holiday.
Please contact us for a chat if you would like us to take care of your home and pets.

No rating Noel and Tina house sat for us over the school holidays and did such a great job. IT was lovely to walk into our clean and tidy home which smelled so fresh. everything was perfect and our dogs happy. We spent a pleasant evening with them the night before we left and found them to be a lovely interesting and well travelled couple. Thanks so much Noel and Tina we thoroughly recommend you as housesitters.
ELIZABETH (Blacks Beach QLD, Sep 2017 - 1 week 2 days)
Noel and Tina looked after our house and cats for 5 days over Easter. Communication was great and we returned home to a clean and tidy house and two happy cats! We would definitely be keen to have Noel and Tina stay when we go away again.
 
JUDY (Pallarenda QLD, Apr 2022 - 5 days)
Thank you very much. Just contact us and if we are free we'll be there.
Noel and Tina took amazing care of our four legged family Scuppers and Bailey. They took them on daily walks, and shared many photos of them having a great time together. Our house was super clean and tidy, pool clean and plants well watered. Couldn't have asked for better house sitters and will definitely ask them again. Very happy. Thank you Tina and Noel
 
BRIGID (North Ward QLD, Jan 2022 - 9 days)
Thank you Brigid. We had a really great time.
Noel and Tina sat for us recently, caring for our two dogs, house and garden. Communication before and whilst we were away was great. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs. Unfortunately due to covid restrictions, we had to finish our trip early. Noel and Tina were extremely understanding in these difficult times. We would highly recommend noel and Tina as sitters for your home and pets and will definitely love to book them again when we next go away!
 
SAMANTHA (Tannum Sands QLD, Jun 2021 - 1 week 2 days)
Noel and Tina looked after my home and dog for a week and I would absolutely have them for another sit. I returned to a spotless house, freshly mown lawn and healthy plants, and happy pup.
 
JO-ANNE (CLIFTON BEACH QLD, Dec 2020 - 1 week)
As a First Timer - I was anxious however- Tina and Noel Ackers were amazingly thoughtful (even bringing their own linen - so I wasn't left with washing) my dog even told me "he wanted to move to theirs !!" Seriously though I got to know Tina and Noel as I invited them to stay on for a couple of days. Tina Cooked great meals and Noel kept me entertained with a wealth of adventurous stories...we are all SCUBA divers ! Trusted people beyond reproach ! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !
 
ANTHONY (Kamerunga QLD, Dec 2020 - 1 week 2 days)
Noel and Tina left the house in a lovely condition, the pets were happy upon our return and I would not hesitate to recommend them.
 
MICHELLE (Cairns North QLD, Sep 2020 - 5 days)
We were thrilled with our first experience with ausiehousesitters and feel like we hit the jackpot with Noel & Tina. They took such lovely care of our home and our beloved Labradoodle. Great communication and we came home to an immaculate house. Couldn't be more grateful. Thanks Noel & Tina. We hope you enjoyed your time in our patch of paradise
 
CAITLIN (Redlynch QLD, Jul 2020 - 6 days)
We had a lovely stay at Caitlin's looking after Koa, who is a very lively, sociable, fun dog to be with. Our communications with Caitlin we're prompt and efficient. We would definitely be keen to do another sit if required. Thank you Caitlin.
Noel and Tina exceeded all expectations, they were a lovely couple and looked after our home as if it was their own. When we arrived home after 3 weeks our two fur babies didn't appear to have missed us too much as they had been very well cared for, going for daily walks to the beach and having lots of cuddles. Our lawn had been mown and edges trimmed. The dogs were clean after their bath and house spotless. We would highly recommend Noel and Tina.
 
JULIE (Trinity Beach QLD, Dec 2018 - 3 weeks)
No rating We would highly recommend Tina and Noel as House sitters - they left no footprint and our two beloved dogs were happy and relaxed after our break away. We would have no concerns asking them to house/pet sit again.
SARAH (Wongaling Beach QLD, Apr 2017 - 1 week)
No rating Noel and Tina were a wonderful couple who arrived on time, were neat and tidy, loved our pets as much as we do and are a lovely new addition to our friendship group. I cannot say enough how wonderful they were. I would highly recommend them as house sitters to anyone wanting a reliable couple who are great with animals.
