We are Karen and Nick we have decided to give up our professional careers and enjoy life more. We are well travelled, trustworthy, non-smokers, self motivated who take pride in our own home (see pics). We love animals and the outdoors, we cycle and walk regularly. Our dog was 15 1/2 yrs old and unfortunately she passed away. We miss her terribly. We can be flexible with our availability. In the last 2 yrs we have housesat in WA Queensland, London and Spain and loved every moment. We are triple vaccinated.

Karen and Nick were wonderful I cannot recommend them more highly... to be honest I think my dogs thought they were on holiday. We meet on a video call and then in person the day before the sit, I felt very confident in choosing this lovely couple and was not disappointed. We had prompt communication prior to the sit, whilst I was away I received daily updates and photos - which I absolutely loved even if it made me miss my dogs. Harry is a rescue pup, with anxiety, fear of other ... MORE

Nick & Karen were excellent house sitters. They took care of our house and most importantly, our beloved staffy whilst we were overseas for 3 weeks. They kept us updated on on how things were going, sending photos and messages regularly. They took our girl on her daily walks, frequently taking her on fun adventures and sent us photos and videos. Our house was left in pristine condition (better than I left it to be honest!). All of our requests were honoured, such as mowing the lawn and ... MORE

Hi Amy, thank you so much for the fantastic review. We would be more than willing to sit for you again anytime. Take care. Regards, Nick and Karen
Karen and Nick are a lovely couple. We came home from a three week trip to an immaculate home and garden, and a very loved and happy dog. They made our first ever house sitting experience a positive one, maintaining communication throughout and completely respecting our home. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others. We wish them happy travels.
 
KIM (Maroochydore QLD, Jun 2022 - 2 weeks 6 days)
Our very first conversation set the scene for a relaxing, care free getaway. Karen and Nick communicated before and during their house sit which put our mind at ease about our neurotic dog Suzie. They both are very friendly and easy going and it was a joy to meet them before the sit. We returned home to an immaculate house though a slightly depressed dog. I think she was missing them as when she heard a car pull in or people nearby she would rush to the door. Obviously a well looked after, ... MORE

We loved looking after Suzie. She is a beautiful girl and placid at home, loves walks however does get excited when she sees other dogs. Lyn had provided excellent written instructions. Their home was immaculate and very comfortable and cosy with a wood burning stove. We loved Augusta and would ... MORE
Karen and Nick recently house and pet sat for us for a week and I can't recommend them highly enough. Communication was fast and friendly, Karen offered to come and meet us a day early but I felt so comfortable after chatting on the phone I didn't think it was necessary. We came home to a sparkling clean house and very happy pets, I hope to have them come and sit again for us!

I would highly recommend Karen and Nick as housesitters. They stayed at our house for 9 nights, looking after our chickens and dog. We came home to a lovely clean house, happy animals and even milk in the fridge and chocolates! Communication was easy and efficient. They organised to arrive in time to meet with us, before we left. We would be more than happy to have them housesit again. Thanks very much.
