About

We are a married, healthy, retired couple, both non-smokers who have been house sitting full time for over 5yrs. Having sold our business (in Port Macquarie, NSW) we are now catching up on lost time to indulge in our love of travelling. Prior to running our own business, we were both long term Military personnel and then worked in the Corporate Sector.



We are responsible people who have owned and rented properties, have previously maintained a pool and garden and are used to dealing with any issues that may arise.We are conscious of the care and security required to maintain a property.



We are experienced with animals having had numerous pets (large and small) over the years and know how to deal with both young & older ones.    We enjoy gardening and look forward to tending the different gardens that come with house-sitting.



Being retired gives us lots of time to look after your home, garden and pets.



We have travelled extensively around Australia & in parts of Europe and love the experience new places can offer. When travelling overseas we always tried to stay in places where the locals went for holidays rather than the tourist orientated areas.



We enjoy the experience of "living like a local" and welcome the opportunity to be involved in the day to day life and discovering the beauty of the local area which is far more rewarding than ticking all the boxes to say you have seen all the tourist spots. House sitting allows us time to slowly discover new places, meet people and enjoy the company of pets of all varieties, both large & small.



We are able to provide references (from other house sitting sites) and Police clearances.

Anyone that has their animal family and their house looked after by Tania and Rod is very very lucky. They did an amazing job, from walking my crazy large pooches to coping with baby chickens born the night before they started the housesit. House immaculate, pooches and fussy cat happy, and all the chickens well fed when I returned. Would be very happy if they are available in the future.

Tanya and Rod looked after our dog and our house for one week in June. They are a very well organised couple and kept our house very clean and tidy. Our dog Ziggy enjoyed their company and was very well cared for. I would certainly recommend Tanya and Rod to anyone looking for a very professional and animal loving house sitter.

Tanya and Rod did a great job looking after our property and our 2 dogs. The dogs were happy and our home was spotless when we returned. I would unhesitatingly recommend them.

I feel like we struck GOLD when we found Tanya & Rod for our house sit. We all enjoyed a fun meal the night before we left. They also went above and beyond offering a lift to and from the airport! When we got back the dogs could not have been happier or more relaxed which is why we like the option of them staying in our house and not getting frazzled in kennels. I have a sneaky feeling they even washed the patio doors because they seemed a lot cleaner when we got home! Highly recommend this calm and competent couple.
