About

Welcome to my profile,

I have been house-sitting continuously for more than 4 years and have had the pleasure of looking after more than 50 homes and 200 pets in that time; including cats, dogs, chickens, horses, goats, ducks, fish and emus.

Frequent updates (including photos) are sent to homeowners, allowing you to relax and enjoy your holiday knowing that all is well with your pets and your home. I also provide all of my own consumables, bedding, towels, cookware etc, basically everything except for the kitchen sink. Upon your return you will find your home just as clean as when you left.

I am a non-smoker and am more than happy to provide a police clearance.

Shane Green house sat for me while I was away for five weeks.it was the first time that I had ever had anyone to house sit,This site was recommended to me from a friend,who had had used it. At the time I wondered who would really be able to look after my home,and family pets, so I could enjoy a holiday, who could I trust, to look after an older cat, and my two others and 2 canaries one recovering from a broken leg.. From the minute I met Shane,even after he had heard all about my worries through email ,he was calm,and quietly confident,friendly,and professional and I suddenly felt at ease. He was very organised, asking questions of the animals,and it was clear he had certainly had experience ,he was not fazed that two cats had to have daily pills, or that the canaries loved a bath and needed greens everyday! There was a comprehensive questionnaire,to be completed and keys to be exchanged.No stress,at all,he provided all his own things, While I was away,he kept me updated and sent the occasional photo.I came home to a clean home with happy animals and singing canaries! he even had the thoughtfulness to leave some treats for us,and a super brush for the cats He is a great house sitter ! I would be delighted to have him sit again,,thinking how fortunate I was, that he replied to my ad.! I am happy if you want to call me on 0450901273 for a reference.. .

After being extremely happy with Shane Green following our first experience with Shane house sitting for us last year, we were thrilled to find that Shane was, once again, available to house sit for us this year. Shane is so well organised in,the house and keeps it spotless, ensuring the garden was maintained and our pets cared for wonderfully. In the month we were away we received photos and updates of our Ms Keisha Cat and Mr Minky Dog who are both in their senior years and Shane is very knowledgeable when it comes to any health issues.with older pets. We couldn't have wished for more. Thank you Shane, you are an absolute pleasure to have in our home. We will definitely be in contact when we next plan a trip away. If you are considering Shane for your house sit and wish to speak with us please call on 0409414413

We were fortunate to have Shane Green stay in our house and take care of our chooks for us for four weeks over Dec 18 - Jan 2019. He was very organised and communicative in the lead up to the housesit, kept us up to date with photos of our feathered girls while we away and did his best to contain the wanderings of our committed escapee chook, 'Henrietta Houdini'. Our house was left clean and tidy and would not hesitate to recommend him to others. Philippa & Lorne Jan 2019

What a wonderful experience we have had with Mr Shane Green caring for our dog and cat (the "fluffies") and our home for the past 6 weeks. Shane left no stone upturned, with regular updates and photographs of our much loved pets. On our return we found an immaculate home, and a welcome home gift of bread, fruit, vegetables and some yummy treats. This was our first experience with a house sitter and from our first meeting Shane was an absolute gentleman, extremely professional and self sufficient. We have no hesitation in highly recommending Shane and would be very happy to supply a personal reference if required. Contact Pam -0409414413 / Johannes - 0438015008. We would welcome Shane again and again.

Shane had a challenging sit for us but he, the animals and the house came through unscathed. The sign of a good housesitter! We were overseas and Telstra killed all my emails, specifically work emails going back 5 years. I contacted Shane and asked him to do a work around for me and he worked everything out brilliantly. To give him the information to access my computer meant that I had to trust him. He can be trusted. We found him to be reliable and responsive. Whatever he said he'd do, he did, including responding and doing things on time as discussed between us. He kept us up to date with awesome photos of the animals and told us about some mail that he thought we needed to know about. We thought he used his head. and looked after things as if the place was his own. We came home to a clean house and happy animals.

Shane was doing house/pet sitting at our house recently for a period of approximately 6 weeks. We were extremely pleased with the way he went about with it. He was regularly in touch with us when we were overseas, sent us pictures of our pets and also gave regular updates on everything. He ensured that our cars were in running condition on our return, house was clean and even stocked up the fridge with the essentials we would require on our return. He dropped and picked us up from airport as well. Overall we are very pleased with his work and would recommend him to anyone that needs his services.

Shane Green house sat for us for 12 weeks during May-August 2017. The sitting included taking care of our two European cats. We would definitely ask him to house sit for us again. From the beginning when we got in touch he was easy to communicate with, following up and replying promptly. Shane took excellent care of both our house and pets. Everything was neat, clean, and orderly upon our return, and the cats were in perfect shape. He kept us posted while we were away so we had complete peace of mind. He took care of our mail and let us know when anything important looking arrived during our absence. We were completely happy with the arrangement and give him our unreserved recommendation. If you have any questions feel free to contact us on our number 048 123 5657.

Karla and Shane house sat for us for 7 weeks during November-January 2016. The sitting included taking care of our two European cats. We would definitely ask them to house sit for us again. They were easy to communicate with from first contact through the end of the sitting, and they took excellent care of both our house and pets. Everything was neat and clean upon our return, and the cats were in perfect shape. They kept us posted while we were away - including pictures - so we had complete peace of mind. Just before leaving, a landscaper had installed a new lawn and flower beds in the back yard so we were a bit anxious about how that would develop over summer. Karla and Shane not only kept a watchful eye on the greenery, but even found and downloaded an app that enabled them to reset an irrigation timer to prevent overwatering. We were completely happy with the arrangement and give Karla and Shane our unreserved recommendation. If you have any questions feel free to contact us on the number above.

Karla and Shane were the perfect house sitters. They were organised, great at communication, looked after our dog and home superbly and even left us some goodies to cope with the jet lag when we got home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to care for your house and animals. Our dog was happy and relaxed when we returned. The house was clean and the garden maintained. Thanks so much Karla and Shane!

My animals are my family and it is always difficult leaving them in someone else's care but I felt confident leaving them in the care of Karla and Shane. They were very professional, organised and experienced. I returned to my home just as I had left it and my animals seemed relaxed, happy and content. I also appreciated their flexibility when I muddled my return date. I would not hesitate to recommend Karla and Shane for future house/pet sits and wish them all the best for the future. I am happy to be contacted. Susan (0412 357 674)

Karla and Shane recently cared for our two Golden Retrievers for six weeks. When we met them they presented as a mature and confidant couple, so we felt very comfortable leaving our fur kids in their care, especially our older dog who requires a bit more TLC in her twilight years. Karla and Shane provided us with regular updates and photos of the dogs which was most welcome as we were really missing them so it was great to know that they were doing well. On our return the dogs were happy and healthy and our house was neat and tidy. A basket of food items and flowers on the table was a lovely touch to welcome us home. We would not hesitate to invite Karla and Shane to pet/house sit again for us.

Karla and Shane house sat for us in January in Park orchards, looking after our 2 busy border collies and 2 inside cats . Karla sent us photos updating us on our pets, which was much appreciated. Even when we were delayed by 2 days and quite stressed at the possibility of the dogs being alone )Karla and Shane didn't hesitate to help us out ensuring our pets were well looked after, going above and beyond our hopes an expectations. Our house was immaculate upon our return . We highly recommend Karla and Shane they are fantastic .

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Karla and Shane met with me for a 15 day housesit in December 2015 and I was immediately impressed with them, I knew that my animals and home would be well looked after and cared for. I have the usual animals plus 4 goats and 2 emus so I needed to feel confident with my sitters, I made the right choice with Karla and Shane. I arrived home to a spotless house and all my animals were well cared for, I could not have asked for better sitters, I can highly recommend them for any position that they apply for. Should you wish to speak with me, I am more than happy to put your mind at ease too, my number is 0417.506.356 Regards Michele

Hi! Karla and Shane house sat for us b'w Nov 22nd and 27th looking after our dog, two cats and 6 chickens. We returned home to a happy healthy household and a clean house complete with a parting gift of flowers! Karla and Shane had no qualms attending to our dog's special needs and were quick to respond with updates on our pets during our holidays. I would have no hesitation in recommending them and in fact hope to have them house sit again for us in the future. Natalie Geddes
