About

** We are now available from Jan 22-Feb 24 in Melb CBD or Syd. Ideally, love to look after a Poodle, Pug or Schnauzer to love up, take on car rides, coffee shops and daily walks. Thank you warmly!

We are a kind, respectful, non-smoking happy couple of 45 and 52 years that have been together for over 12 years. It is a very strong partnership, able to share the pet-sitting routine with ease. As there are two of us, we may sometimes be able to accept bookings that overlap by a few days to create a win/win for everyone.

Merv and I have put everything into a storage unit so our home is everywhere. We have spent less than 20 days in an Airbnb in 2017 as we are always back to back with new bookings and repeat bookings which we are very grateful for. The hosts from Airbnb have also given us a 5 star rating for our easy-going nature and leaving their place spotless.

We have had over 18 pet-sitting bookings on another website with 70-90 applicants applying for that same spot. Our full brochure, video, Pet Questionnaire and countless testimonials have always stood out to be professional and has sincerely translated to why we do what we do.

We have been Professional House-Sitters for many years and do this full-time, with glowing contactable references, current Police Clearances and a PIAA Pet First Aid course.

As we have been a home and pet owner before, we understand what it’s like entrusting your home to someone, so rest assured we will look after it as if it were our own.

Your precious pets will receive our loving care and any routine you have in place will be followed. We know they are family and are very important to you, so we become their proxy pet parents, bringing them companionship and lots of happy times. They will also be well-exercised and have plenty of play-time. Coffee shop outings and car-rides to the doggy beach. They will always be part of our routine and come with us when they can.

Being self-employed, we are both blessed to work from our laptops, meaning added security for your house and lots of human contact for your furkids so they can stay relaxed in their own home environment and keep to their daily routines. We also have our own transport.

Background of Cimone-Louise -
* Mentor and Trusted Advisor to Entrepreneurs
* Social Trainer - worked with children and adults with disabilities

Background of Merv -

We welcome you to contact us with any specific questions or requests. We will do our best to get back to you in a couple of hours. The easiest way is if you could please leave your mobile number in our inbox when you message, thank you warmly.

With Respect and Gratitude,
Cimone-Louise and Merv..

Here is a cute 2 min video we did on some of the fur and feather friends we have cared for. May it bring a smile to your faces!

This is the very first time we have had house sitters to look after our little doggy Kayla and our home. It was a new experience to both of us. We were so impressed with Cimone and Merv from the first sight of their application to the first meeting at our home. Our little Kayla warmed up to this lovely couple when they visited us for the first time. They are such kind people that enabled us to go on our overseas holiday with a peace of mind, leaving little Kayla and our home with them. Cimone and Merv continuously sent messages on WhatsApp about Kayla with audio recordings and photos. We returned home after 3 weeks of vacation from overseas. Cimone and Merv had been very attentive to Kayla and had kept the house very clean. We have no hesitation in recommending Cimone and Merv to anyone who needs good house/pet sitting services.

Cimone-Louise and Merv have been the best dog and house sitters we have ever had! It has been great receiving regular updates from them while we were away, knowing that our dog Pumba was well and having a good time. The appartment was very clean when we came back, and Pumba very relaxed. He has been very well looked after. Cimone-Louise and Merv have really been amazing, and we hope that they will be available next time we go away! 100% recommended. Thank you so much to you both.

Judith Somers 10/9 Hayes Street Neutral Bay 2089 2/03/2017 RE: HOUSE SITTING AND DOG MINDING TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN I would like to recommend Cimone-Louise and Merv as they were wonderful looking after our 3 dogs and looking after my home while my family and I went away for 10 days in January 2017. They were wonderful with our 3 dogs and I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a couple to house sit and pet sit. Yours sincerely Judith Somers

Thank you so much for looking after our precious little monster. Maxwell is always so happy when we come home form our trips that I would be slightly suspicious that someone was slipping him the odd rash of bacon if it weren't for the fact that you are always so considerate and responsive to our house/pet sitting instructions. I can't recommend your services enough. Max also gives the paws up approval. Thanks again.

Wow! What an amazing couple Cimone and Merv are! They did such a wonderful job of caring for our beautiful little dog George. We received photo updates from them morning and night, so we always knew what our little guy was up to. He was a very lucky boy and got 2 walks every day (he usually only gets 1 a day from us!). Cimone and Merv went above and beyond in including George in every part of their daily lives: from going on car rides to run errands with them; and even participating in meditation! It is very clear that they are both truly 'dog people'. They gave George so much love and attention, but were also able to keep George's routine whilst respecting the rules and boundaries we have put in place for him. Apart from looking after our dog, Cimone and Merv did a great job looking after our house. Our plants were watered, and when we returned from our trip our house was absolutely spotless, I couldn't have cleaned it better myself! This was the first time we have both been away from George for more than a weekend, so we were slightly apprehensive about everything. Cimone and Merv were able to put both of our minds at ease, and made us feel so comfortable with the whole situation. We would definitely ask Cimone and Merv to house sit for us again and we would wholeheartedly recommend Cimone and Merv for any future house sitting jobs.

Thank you Cimone-Louise, for looking after our home so beautifully and caring for Millie while we were away for four weeks over the Christmas and New Year period. The regular updates were welcome and it was comforting to know everything was secure at home. We are especially grateful for how you responded and took care of Millie when she was so unwell. It was a pleasure coming home to a happy cat and our house having been so well cared for.’

Dear Cimone-Louise and Merv thank you so much for taking such good care of our puppies and the constant updates, videos and messages while we were away. We were able to completely relax and enjoy our holiday knowing that we didn't have to worry about Archie and Charlie. And we could tell as soon as we walked in the door that they had also enjoyed their time with you. So thank you very very much and you both have 2 more fans and we'd be more than happy to be used as references if you ever need and will most definitely be in touch for next time we go away. Till next time all the best Brian & Lara, Archie and Charlie
