About

Mature and fun loving pet and house sitters!

Hi my husband Murray, and I, Lucy, look forward to caring for your home and pets.

We want to be the most fun loving and caring sitters we can be, are non smokers have a zest for life, are fit, and enjoy regular exercise especially walking.

Murray has worked as cinematographer in Sydney for a television station and professional photographer .
Lucy has worked as a Welfare worker and psychotherapist

We enjoy new adventures, as we have raised our children, 8 children, between us and 16 grandchildren, and 2 great grand daughters, decided it is time for us.

We enjoy the rewarding experience, and delights, of new places,meeting new people and the joy that we receive from the pets that we care for.

Love animals have always had pets, but at the moment, we are in an Apartment, where its difficult to have pets
Respect for peoples property and their pets is our number one priority.

We are meticulous, clean, and tidy and have thoroughly enjoyed the pets that we have cared for, found it a rewarding and fun experience.

References also available on application. Please see below for references.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards,
Lucy and Murray

Lucy and Murray house-sat our 2 very precious schnoodles for 4 nights recently (July 2015). I couldn’t have asked for better sitters! They visited beforehand to meet our dogs and I immediately felt very comfortable that Lucy and Murray would take great care of our dogs. They were very dedicated to looking after the dogs and respectful of our apartment, leaving it spic and span. Our dogs were very happy in their company as Lucy and Murray happily followed the daily routine we requested, including letting them sleep in their bed with them. I will definitely ask them to sit for us again.

In March 2015 we embarked on a 5 week trip and was looking for someone to housesit and care for our dog and rabbit. Fortunately Lucy & Murray were able to help us out.
Lucy and Murray kept in contact throughout our trip with updates on our elderly dog Hank who required some additional care with medicine. We were very happy to also receive
photos of Murray and Hank together!
The house was left immaculately with not a thing out of place. In fact the only evidence that we found of their stay was some food in the cupboards — they even left the wheelie bin
empty!
Lucy and Murray were fantastic housesitters and we would be more than happy to recommend them to anyone.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Lucy & Murray of Avalon Sydney NSW were house sitters at my home x 6 weeks September & early October 2015.

I have 4 dogs and it seems, during my absence, they loved them to death ! the dogs totally fell in love with Murray and Murray with the dogs. Although the criteria was to walk the dogs once a day, my neighbours tell me they often saw my sitters walking the dogs twice a day.

On my return, the house was kept in fine order, very tidy and clean and the garden was taken care of also.

I would welcome Lucy and Murray a return house sit here if they were available and would recommend them as reliable dog lovers.

If further information is required please do not hesitate to ask for phone contact number.

Hi Lucia and Murray, Hope all is well in your part of the woods. Just wondering if by any chance you might be free for about 8 days. We are thinking about doing a 7 day cruise to queensland and would love for you to be able to dog sit our Roley. We would need you from 15th July until 23rd July. Fingers crossed that you are available. I have just had my back operated on and the rest would do me. good. Hope to hear back from you ASAP. Kind regards Julie and Benny.

I would just like to recommend Lucy and Murray Pollard for their excellent service that was given to us during their stay at our home while minding our dog, caring for our plants and keeping our home clean and tidy.. The care given to our dog Roley was nothing less than outstanding. He was walked twice a day, given l;oads of attention and spoilt with food and care. We would highly recommend them for any position of house sitting. Photos of Roley were sent with an account of what they were up to and that made us feel at ease while we were away. Thank you both Lucy and Murray for a job well done. From Julie And Benny

Lucy & Murray sat for us in July of 2016. We can home to happy & content animals and a house well kept, which was a miracle in itself as our house is not only small it is in a state of constantly sorting stuff & no time to actually move forward with it! We have 2 cats, one is a Ragdoll who is what his name suggests, but he is aloof with new people and warms once he is secure. The other is a rambunctious 11 year old Ragdoll x DSH who is also a diabetic. He is our Garfield, only he is not fat! Lucy & Murray administered his insulin twice a day with no issues. We also have 2 birds and we came home to our old girl (nearly 30 year of Red Rump Gras Parrot) having gained weight, which is fabulous! We would definitely recommend Lucy & Murray to anyone looking for house sitters are not only reliable, but will look after your animals like they are their own. We were so impressed with Lucy & Murray, we booked them again in July of this year. Christine 0412296566

Lucy & Murray are the most lovely of people. Gentle with the animals and respectful of our sorting process (mess on the back deck). Our animals were well looked after and loved while we were gone and we can home to happy content cats & birds. I would not hesitate to use Lucy & Murray for any future trips as we know they will look after our animals and house like their own. Fabulous couple! Message to Lucy. I have lost your details, I need your services in July & my phone has been destroyed so lost your contact details.
