Chris and Alan were absolutely amazing to have as house sitters.

The house was beautifully clean when we arrived home!!!
I cannot recommend more highly.

Alan and Christine, at last I have found my way to post a very positive and appreciative review for you both.
I felt fully informed about Tilly and how you managed her ear problems and care. She was so loved and so well looked after- treats, walks, sleeping arrangements that made her feel loved and secure.
It is wonderful to return home to a tidy home, a store of food, a well looked after garden and plants as well as despairs done for me. That is above and beyond what I would have expected ...

There are house sitters and house sitters!
You two are exceptional as you really care and are delightful in your constant communication.
Thank you so much🥰
JENNY (Railway Estate QLD, Mar 2024 - 3 weeks)
From the first contact Chris and Alan were professional and flexible in confirming our needs. They both provided excellent care of our pets, home and garden and it was a real pleasure to return home after their stay. Chris was amazing in having everything spotless for our return along and Alan had mowed the lawn as well. The extra touch was a welcoming card and gift. It was fantastic knowing everything was in safe hands while we were away. Thank you again!

Christine and Alan are a truly delightful and accommodating couple who took excellent care of our 2 dogs and home.
ROSIE (Tolga QLD, Nov 2023 - 1 week 1 night)
Christine and Alan took on the house sit at short notice and put our minds at ease as soon as we met them. Both were lovely and friendly and kept us up to date with text messages and photos whilst we were away. On our return, the house was tidy and well cared for and the pets were happy and relatively stress free. Thanks again, you both did a wonderful job.
JULIA (Smithfield QLD, Oct 2023 - 1 week 2 nights)
Thank you Chris and Alan for coming to housesit for us. So glad you enjoyed your stay in the Burdekin. It was wonderful to come home to a lovely clean and tidy home. Cooper would have loved your company had we left him with you - you are obviously animal lovers like us!! Thanks for always asking about him - he is happy to be home. We hope to see you again and can highly recommend you for any future housesits. Cheers! Vicki and Pat
VICKI (Home Hill QLD, Sep 2023 - 1 week 3 nights)
Alan and Christine were great from their first reply to the time they departed. We could not ask for a nicer couple to look after our home ( as house sitters) for the first time.
They did all that we ask of them to look after the yard, plants, pool etc which made it so much easer for us when we returned from our holiday
We would recommend Alan and Christine for any house sitting

RYLIE (Yungaburra QLD, Dec 2021 - 3 weeks)
Christine and Alan, thank-you both ever so much for looking after Freya and our home while we were away.
I cannot recommend them highly enough, from start to finish their communication was perfect. On initial meet and greet they put all my concerns for our first house sit at ease. They left the house spotless which was so lovely to come home to and our Freya was very sad to see them go.
If you manage to book them, your house and pets will be in the safest and most caring hands.
Thanks again ... MOREChristine and Alan, thank-you both ever so much for looking after Freya and our home while we were away.

W e could not have asked for better care of our home in March-April 2022 . The cat was very relaxed when we returned and was really well cared for. We would recommend Chris and Alan to anyone looking for a house sitter.

A huge thank you to Alan and Christine for taking such wonderful care of our home and beloved pets. Such peace of mind going on holiday knowing all is well. We would highly recommend Christine and Alan to be entrusted to take care of your home and pets. Their level of communication was perfect.
JOHN AND JULIA (Speewah QLD, Sep 2021 - 1 week 4 days)
Such a pleasure to have Chris & Alan looking after our home. The house was spotless, communication was great and Alan's green thumb did wonders in the veggie patch. Thank you both so much for taking care of everything while we were away.
KIM (Tolga QLD, Aug 2021 - 3 weeks)
We were first timers for having a house sitter take care of our home and pets. Chris and Allan were amazing and made us feel instantly at ease! They were very professional and had clear communication before and during the sit. We came home to a spotless house and the doggos very content (They didn't want Allan & Chris to leave). I would highly recommend this lovely couple to house sit.
JESSICA (Hermit Park QLD, Jul 2021 - 6 days)
Christine and Alan we the perfect sitters as this being our first time using this type of service we are very happy and impressed with the care of our animals and will be using them again if possible in the future
BRONWYN (Kirwan QLD, Jun 2021 - 1 week 6 days)
Chris and Alan were an absolute dream! It was so wonderful to be able to go away and have total peace of mind, knowing that the house, gardens and animals were in good hands.
Their communication was fantastic - lots of regular updates and prompt replies.
We can home to an immaculately clean house, manicured gardens and happy animals.
I would highly recommend Chris and Alan for any house sit.
RITA (Rangewood QLD, May 2021 - 3 weeks 1 day)
We said a sad farewell to Christine and Alan (aka House Sitters from Heaven) this morning, and it was as if we were farewelling long-time friends.
We returned from our trip to find our house in pristine condition and our animals beautifully cared for.
Christine even surprised us with a lovely herb garden, as well as keeping our other plants happy and well watered . Alan kept the lawns immaculate, and because of his experience with pools, was able to help us get our pool back into good ...

While away, we had regular texts and emails with Christine and Alan, assuring us that all was in order, especially with our pampered cats. Our chickens thrived, and were laying well on our return.
We cannot speak highly enough of Christine and Alan, and wish them all the very best in the future.
MONICA (Ingham QLD, Apr 2021 - 1 month 1 week)
Christine & Alan were lovely people, Thank you for housesitting for us at such short notice. Thank you Alan for fixing the pump, It was good to have you take care of our house, garden & lawn while we were away. It was good to come home from our holiday & the plants were still alive. Thanks for the chocs.
NEIL & CAROL (Andergrove QLD, Apr 2021 - 2 weeks)
I can certainly recommend Christine and Alan for housesitting. From the very beginning, communication was great, and all the way through our holiday with images sent to us of our family of pets, Rose, Chico, and Lili.
Thank you Christine and Alan for caring so much for our property, our dog, and two cats and leaving the house so spotless! You went above what is expected of housesitting and you leave as friends. All the best to you both xx
JANET (Sarina QLD, Feb 2021 - 4 weeks)
Alan & Chris were our first ever house sitters. As soon as we met them we felt comfortable that we'd made the right decision. The chocolates and herbs they left for us was a lovely gesture.
AMANDA (Rockhampton QLD, Dec 2020 - 1 month 3 weeks)
Safe house!
There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
