About

Phillip & Janet

Hello, we are Phillip and Janet, a retired Police Officer and Primary School Teacher from the UK. Both fit and active non-smokers, who enjoy walking, reading, spending time around the water and generally being outdoors. We are both fully vaccinated against COVID (including booster). We are security conscious, extremely tidy, and very reliable, and would love to look after your home and garden as if it were our own! We would also take care of your cats, fish and birds with love and attention.
Pre-Covid, we regularly visited Australia to spend time with our daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren who live just outside of Fremantle. During this time, we thoroughly enjoyed undertaking a variety of house sits, looking after a range of pets including three gorgeous dogs, two birds and a cat, as well as mature gardens, ponds, and swimming pools.
Now the borders are opening back up, we’re delighted to be coming back to this beautiful part of the world to see our family, and will be visiting Australia for at least a year from September 7th 2023, We’d love to house sit for some or all of our stay, to give family time to themselves, and are happy to cuddle, feed, and medicate animals, as well as to mow lawns, clean pools, care for gardens, and clean homes. Due to family commitments we would currently prefer to look after cats, birds and fish. We are extremely adaptable to fit your situation, and are able to provide a number of references.
If you think we might be a good fit for you, please get in touch!

Janet and Phillip Cook looked after our home for 3 months in 2017. They did a wonderful job looking after the house, garden and pool. Our home has a number of entertaining areas and expensive furnishings and decorations, which were all kept in perfect condition. The garden is fully reticulated and requires constant monitoring to ensure the lawn and plants (including lots of pots) do not die when sprinklers break or lines get choked up. Our garden was thriving on our return. The swimming pool is large and has to be constantly kept clear of leaves because we have garden surrounding the pool with lots of leaves to potentially drop into the pool. It is a chlorinated pool and so requires careful monitoring of pool chemicals and replenishing when necessary to keep it in tip top condition. The pool has to be kept topped up with water too. All of these things were clearly done methodically and with care, as the pool was sparkling clean and in perfect balance on our return. We have 2 dogs, a large Golden Retriever and a much smaller Wester Highland terrier who became great friends with Janet and Phillip. They were very well exercised and given lots of love. We could not have asked for better house sitters. My husband and I highly recommend Janet and Phillip Cook to take great care of anyone's home and pets. They will be lucky to get them to stay.
