Wanderers & Adventurers

61, Retired

64, Retired

We are a retired professional couple in our early 60's who have been living on a sail boat for the past 10 years in Greece. We are now back in Australia for a couple of years before we set off again on our next adventure.

We have previously owned our own organic / biodynamic tropical fruit orchard and a large property in the rainforest in far north Queensland. We are keen gardeners. We are very familiar with the use of ride-on mowers, tractors and all types of gardening implements.

We have also been wildlife carers and raised many wallabies, pademelons and possums.

Gerhard, who was born in Austria, grew up on a winery with their own vineyards. Sheree was born in Sydney.

We met working in Cairns many years ago. We then headed to Vienna where we lived and worked for 10 years. Gerhard managed a construction & development company and Sheree worked at the United Nations.

We have no pets of our own now but we have had many cats, dogs and wildlife in the past. We are very comfortable around all sorts of animals.

We have our own transport.

We have completed many housesits and received great reviews. We are very reliable and particularly like to ensure home owners have a relaxed, stress-free time away, knowing we are looking after their homes and pets. We will provide regular updates and photos while you are away.

We are very tidy and clean, fit, active and non smokers.

Sheree and Gerhard were amazing house sitters. Our Frenchie Tana was very well looked after and the house was left in immaculate condition when we returned. We were given regular updates on Tana including picture’s which was lovely. Thankyou for loving our boy while we were away.

Thanks Jenna for your kind words. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Sheree & Gerhard
Sheree and Gerhard were wonderful sitters. They looked after our garden perfectly and most importantly looked after our cocker spaniel, who is needy and gets anxious if left alone. Joey just loved them and thrived under their care. When we arrived home the house was spotless and in perfect order. Thank you so much Sheree for being such great house sitters! XX
 
ADRIENNE (Cobaki NSW, Aug 2023 - 1 week)
Our first time engaging a housesitter. We couldn't have been happier with the experience. Our dog Oscar will be looking for Sheree and Gerhard for sometime. Our home and gardens were well cared for . We received pics of Oscar and how he was doing while we were travelling which was much appreciated. We have a common thread in sailing so we will stay in contact I'm sure. Highly recommend Sheree and Gerhard.

MARCIA (Caloundra QLD, Mar 2023 - 4 weeks)
Thank you Marcia & John for your lovely kind words. It was our pleasure to look after Harry. We really miss him and his cuddles. All the best to you both. Sheree & Gerhard
We were delighted to secure Sheree and Gerhard for our housesit given how popular they are on this site. And they lived up to expectations with impeccable communications and house care throughout. But the one thing that really matters to us is our beautiful Nellie, and they did not let us down. From their regular communications while we were away, we were confident Nellie was being well tended and thoroughly entertained (regular swims in the local waterholes obviously went down a treat!). So we ... MORE
 
STEPHEN (North Maleny QLD, Feb 2023 - 4 weeks)
Thank you so much Stephen & Fiona for your kind words. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and adored Nellie. Likewise, we would love to return. Many thanks again. Sheree & Gerhard
Thank you very much Sheree and Gerhard for house sitting for us and for taking great care of Rocky and also for the updates and photos you sent, it was reassuring to receive them. I'm sure he is still missing you. We are very grateful for all you did and as this is the first time for us having house sitters our experience has been very positive and we would not hesitate to recommend you to future home owners. Thank you once again.

Lovely couple, respectful, clean and tidy. Friendly great communication. Wouldn't hesitate to ask them to house sit again.
 
NATASSJA (Mount Low QLD, Nov 2022 - 1 week 4 days)
Sheree and Gerhard are the perfect house sitters! They were able to come and meet us and our dog Bear on their way through to another house sit, which was great because it was our first time with house sitters and we weren't sure how Bear would be, but he took to them straight away. During our trip we got updates every couple of days on Bear, as well as photos. He looked very happy. Upon return our house was left immaculate, even the windows and glass doors were cleaned! Hoping the next ... MORE
 
CHERYL (Coverty QLD, Aug 2022 - 2 weeks)
Cherie and Gerhard were a very good 'fit' for us as Housesitters. Daisy certainly took to them very quickly and it is true she is a smoocher! They kept the gardens and greenhouse well watered and left our house immaculately. I would certainly recommend Cherie and Gerhard for any potential housesitting assignments and guarantee that you would be well satisfied with their minding.
 
PETER (Taromeo/Blackbutt QLD, Jul 2022 - 4 weeks)
Sheree and Gerhard have been great house-sitters for us. They are both lovely people and their care of our property and attention to detail has been terrific. They were a great team in the garden and had a thoughtful input. Their communication was excellent. We returned to a house and garden which was neater than we left! Both Beth and I would be happy to have them back again and we would not hesitate to recommend their services., Beth and Richard.
 
BETH AND RICHARD (Urangan QLD, May 2022 - 1 month 2 weeks)
Wow! Sheree and Gerhard were the perfect sitters. It was only a short 5 day sit, but they allowed me to get away and worry about nothing. Excellent communicators and they even visited earlier so that we could get to know each other and our needs better. They were great with Nelson. Clean, tidy, innovative and very trustworthy. If the opportunity presents, Ill definitely be calling them again.
 
PETER (Gympie QLD, May 2022 - 5 days)
I am sure our home was in better shape than when we left! Sheree and Gerhard took great care of our small farm and we could not be happier. I am confident in highly recommending them to anyone! Communication was easy and I believe they went above and beyond. What a relief to come home and everything is as it should be. We are so very grateful. Thank you!
 
LIZZIE (Kin Kin QLD, May 2022 - 5 days)
This was our first time using a house/pet sitter so we were very nervous about it all. Upon meeting Sheree and Gerhard they made us feel relaxed about leaving our home and pets in their care. They went above and beyond caring for our home and puppies, and also did a wonderful job looking after our garden, our home was left immaculately clean upon our return. Communication was excellent providing us with texts, photos and updates on how our babies were going. We will definitely have you back for ... MORE
