Ben and Emma are truly the best house-sitting hosts we could have asked for. From day one, Ben gave us a detailed tour, prepared a map, and left clear notes about the pets, which made everything easy. They are very easygoing and always reachable on WhatsApp, so we felt completely at ease. Hazel and Ginger are incredibly friendly and warmed up to us immediately. Hazel loves playing with the ball, and Ginger happily follows along. They would chill near us at home and bring the ball whenever they ...

They are very easygoing and always reachable on WhatsApp, so we felt completely at ease. Hazel and Ginger are incredibly friendly and warmed up to us immediately. Hazel loves playing with the ball, and Ginger happily follows along. They would chill near us at home and bring the ball whenever they wanted to play. Monty is a calm and sweet cat who would often come and join us. The house is beautiful with a large pool, a bus stop right in front, and a dog park just a 10-minute walk away. We are so grateful to Ben and Emma for trusting us and giving us this wonderful opportunity.

Ben and Emma were lovely to housesit for, we got the opportunity to meet them in person before the sit and they were wonderful. They provided us with instructions and a map detailing the dog’s walks and the local shops. Hazel and Ginger were superb dogs to look after, both with very sweet personalities and easy to get along with. Hazel is very ball crazy and Ginger is very Hazel crazy so it was simple to keep them both entertained! Monty was a sweet old boy who managed to warm up to us ...

Monty was a sweet old boy who managed to warm up to us quite quickly, sometimes even joining us at night for a cuddle. The house is gorgeous and has everything you could possibly need. We wish this housesit lasted longer and we’ll miss the pets dearly! We recommend this sit greatly to anyone!

We loved looking after Daisy, Monty and the fish. Daisy was such a good girl taking us for walks around the beautiful Toohey forest area close by. Ben was great to communicate with and very welcoming. We would happily sit again for the crew!
Emma and Ben are a delight to deal with and their quiet hillside location is splendid.
