About

Hello pet mammas, pet pappas and garden lovers, we are Hayley and Manuel and would love to take care of your home and loved ones.

Hayley is a wildlife carer and formally a zookeeper, so can keep a close eye on your pets with a skilled eye. She loves to travel, learn new things, and animals of course! Manuel (originally from Germany) is an all-round animal lover, and a very responsible person, while being an engineer by trade. He has a passion for photography and nature, and loves to go for a run with a dog. We will care and love your pets in your absence and cater to their every need!

We are reliable and responsible, and respect that we will be staying in your home. We do our best to live in an environmentally conscious way, with the belief that less is more. You can trust that we will keep your home in good order and secure while you're enjoying yourself, wherever you might be off to!

Reliable and caring, we are looking for housesits in the inner-northern and eastern suburbs of Melbourne and during our travels. Please do not hesitate to contact us to arrange a meet-and-greet if you feel we would be a good fit. Note: We speak English and Manuel speaks German. Further references and police checks can be provided on request.

We love the win-win of housesitting!

We understand the importance of having someone you trust to care for your furry loved one or your precious home, and we can help you with that. We are keen to explore a new places in Melbourne and around the world, and what better way than to share it with a furred or feathered friend.

Our Experience:
We have completed housesits for dogs, cats, horses, fish, ducks, chickens, rats, and Hayley has worked with birds, reptiles and many mammal species within a captive setting.

We are experienced in caring for animals with special-care needs, particularly with medications and staying with rescue animals who have had traumatic pasts.

We completed housesits independently before meeting each other, and are now housesitting permanently throughout Melbourne. We have completed over 20 housesits as a couple and several prior to this individually.

Previous housesit locations:
Williamstown (AUS), Papamoa (NZ), Glentui (NZ), West Ereyton (NZ), Donvale (AUS), Berwick x3 (AUS), Narre Warren (AUS), Narre Warren South (AUS), Fitzroy (AUS), Caulfield North (AUS), Armadale (AUS), Coburg x2 (AUS), Dandenong North (AUS), Croydon (AUS), Menzies Creek (AUS), Wantirna South (AUS), Sandhurst (AUS).

Hayley and Manuel were amazing! They looked after my home and cat for nearly 3 weeks and there was never once any issues. My cat is a rescue and can be quite shy but they managed to keep her interacting with them and she seemed to really enjoy their company! They also left my home amazingly clean on my return which was super appreciated. They were very easy to communicate with and seemed very organised as well. I would definitely recommend them if you need someone to look after your pet!

Hayley and Manuel have house/dog sat for us on two previous occasions in 2018 (5 weeks) and 2018-19 (4 months) and will be again sitting for us soon. They are wonderful! Our house and garden have been kept tidy, watered and well managed whilst we were away and, more importantly, our dog has been happy, exercised and contented. They kept in regular email contact with us and advised us of any mail to be acted on. We recommend them highly and am sure that you can trust your valued possessions into their hands.

We were so happy with Hayley and Manuel, they took such great care of all our pets (2 dogs, 1 cat , 5 chickens and numerous wild birds who demand regular treats). We had regular updates and when we came home they were very calm and happy. They even left Christmas presents for ourselves and the dogs! The house and large garden were well looked after and it was a delight to come home to after being away nearly a month. We can't thank them enough for looking after everything and couldn't recommend them highly enough. Maddy and Michael

Hayley and Manuel are the perfect house sitters. My apartment and more importantly my cats were extremely well cared for. I would recommend them both highly for any future house sitting.

Hayley Taranto is a delightful and reliable person. We have known her and her mother and sister for about six years. One could not get a better house/ pet sitter. It is a pleasure to be able to write this ref. for her. Regards, Joy Rainey and Geoff de Jonge.

Hayley is a responsible and respectful pet lover and house sitter. She is clean and tidy and has an extensive background in caring for animals, so will make any pets you have feel right at home in her care. She is extremely friendly and trustworthy and I would recommend her to anyone. Hayley has cared for our family dog on a number of occasions and I would happily have her look after him again.
