Two Intrepid Teachers

We are currently not looking for house sits, thank you

Early in 2019 we left our teaching positions, rented out our home and hit the road. Our home was 25 acres in Central Queensland where we spent 25 years raising our two beautiful daughters as well as cats, dogs, chooks, guinea pigs and mice. Our focus has been travelling in the beautiful state of Tasmania and as we love it so much, are planning on exploring for another year or so yet.

Graeme has been a high school teacher for over 40 years, is involved with the Australian Air Force Cadets youth development organisation and is an officer in the RAAF (Reserve). Lennai has been an early childhood and special needs teacher for over 30 years with a break to be an At Home Mum and was actively involved as a counsellor and group leader with the Australian Breastfeeding Association.

Obviously, we love to travel, meet people and make new friends. We are both non-smokers and very light, social drinkers. Our biggest vice is Netflix. Don't worry, we carry our own Wi-Fi.

Pets, gardening and basic pool maintenance are not a problem as we have experience in these areas. We have a love of nature and enjoy animals (friendly ones), gardens and gardening, bushwalking, kayaking and exploring new places. As well as embracing an active lifestyle, we pride ourselves in being organised and house proud with a highly developed attention to detail.

Both of us look forward to taking care of your lovely home and pets while you are away.

Graeme and Lennai did a wonderful job looking after our house and two fur babies (cats). We came home to a lovely clean house and many thanks to Graeme for mowing the lawn for us. We would welcome them back anytime to housesit for us. We wish then both well for any future housesits that they have here in Australia or abroad.

Graeme and Lennai are the best house sitters we have ever had. This was the third time that we had them house sit for us and they are our preferred house sitters. The house was lovely and clean, my garden was well looked after and most importantly our cat Hugo was definitely loved and cared for. We know we can relax on our holiday when Graeme and Lennai are looking after things for us.

Once again Graeme and Lennai did a wonderful job of looking after our house, pool and most importantly our cat Hugo. Hugo was recovering from an injury and we had only just lost our other cat BB a few days earlier. They did a great job giving Hugo lots of love and attention and supplied us with updates on a daily basis. I'm sure our house is cleaner than when we left. We welcome Graeme and Lennai into our house anytime as our preferred house sitters.

Thank you so much Sharon Always a pleasure to take care of everything for you! Hugo really is a sweetie and we do enjoy spending time with him
Thank you Graeme and Lennai for looking after my cat and dog whilst I was away. With COVID restrictions, we had so many changes of dates, but they still managed 2 different house sits for me whilst in Yeppoon. The pets were both well cared for, and the house and yard looked great! I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needs a reliable, friendly couple. They even drove me to the Rocky Airport, which I considered a wonderful gesture. All the best with future sits and thank you ... MORE

Thank you so much Jane So glad that our paths finally lined up! We really enjoyed taking care of Pepi (cat) and Mitzie (Maltese cross, who was just adorable!) Thanks for giving us the opportunity to do so, despite the issues created by Covid! We would be more than happy to take care of them and ... MORE
Graeme and Lennai were wonderful sitters and we would have them stay again anytime. They were extremely friendly, and capable. They were attentive to the animals, did extra jobs in the garden above what was needed (some extra mulching which was awesome). House was very clean and tidy on our return, garden was well watered, and pets very content.

Thank you so much Lani. We had a wonderful time taking care of your lovely home and pets and would very happily return! We appreciated your warm welcome of us and the beautiful family meal on our first night. Mike was a contented, companionable and well trained dog! Jasper the cat, rabbit and ... MORE
We were very happy to have Graeme & Lennai look after our home and pets Misty & Elliott during December. Graeme & Lennai took the time to meet us, communicated really well and we felt completely relaxed leaving them in charge. Our house was thoroughly clean, garden cared for and Misty & Elliott happy when we returned. We would very happily ask Graeme & Lennai to housesit for us again in the future.

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
