About

Andre and I are a mature married couple currently house/pet sitting around Melbourne and have family living in Brighton. We have been house/pet sitting for almost 2 years with good reviews and many repeat requests.

To date we haven't let anyone down and everyone likes our reliability. They are also thrilled with our pet care and the attention that their pets get whilst they are away. We always try our best to follow usual routines and owners instructions for their fur and feathered family members.

We both do some part time work in Melbourne CBD but have arranged to work different days and hours with the exception of some overlap on a Wednesday. Jean can always be quite flexible with her hours and is currently working from home. This means that there is always one of us around to keep pets company and attend to their needs as well as to keep your home secure.

We are also happy to water plants/garden and Andre is able to mow lawns where needed and enjoys walking the dogs so they usually get more exercise than requested unless there is an instruction not to walk them more. (Jean is a renowned 'cat lady')

Before we leave, we complete a clean through of the house ( except any private/personal areas) and are happy to shop for fresh milk, etc for your return. We also launder our bed sheets, pillow cases etc and return them to the bed ( dependent on your return time). Our aim is to make your return home as 'work free' as possible.

Neither of us smoke.

Written references ( many on this site) and police checks can be provided at your request.

We very much look forward to caring for your home and pets so you can enjoy a stress free holiday or time away..

Jean and Andre were wonderful sitters, very caring for our pointer pooch, reliable, engaging, keeping in touch regularly while we were away. And we returned to a beautifully clean house. We couldn't recommend them more highly.

Jean and Andre looked after my two golden retrievers and house in February. They were fantastic. They came and met us and were excellent with communication and asking appropriate questions. They did a great job of looking after the dogs - even managed a small crisis with one of the dogs! The house was immaculate on my return. But the most important thing for me was that the dogs were very happy and well looked after. Highly recommend Jean and Andre. Gerard

Jean and Andre are such a great choice. I found them to be very easy going and friendly, as well as really reliable, flexible and trustworthy. I went away knowing my dog was in great hands, which always helps me to relax while I’m away. And I came home to a very settled dog and a very clean house. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a sitter.

Jean and Andre where wonderful. They understood my separation anxiety from my elderly dog and made sure that both Spike (my dog )and I were completely comfortable with all the arrangements . I came home to a very happy relaxed dog and an spotless house. I have already recommend them to other people

As I left my home and 8 month old Border Collie pup Kane for 3 weeks, I looked back to see Kane sitting on Andre’s feet, waiting to go for a walk at 6 am in the morning.... I knew I was leaving him in loving and caring hands. Kane took to Jean and Andre straight away, and followed them everywhere they went. I received photos and updates the whole time I was away which was wonderful as I missed him a lot. When I returned, Kane was happy and playful and very settled, and my home, lawns and gardens were beautifully looked after. AND Jean had cooked a fabulous casserole which we all ate together, as I didn’t arrive home until late in the afternoon. I can’t recommend Andre and Jean enough. They are a very relaxed and easy going couple and I have already booked them for my next two trips away. Jenny.

Jean and Andre recently house sat my home and cared for my timid rescue dog, Makko. I could not have asked for better housesitters and I'm extremely grateful to them. Their stay was nearly 3 weeks, and they were wonderful in every way. As a rescue, Makko has special needs, and being my first trip away leaving him at home, my separation anxiety was worse for me than him! Right from the very first day, I had absolute confidence in Jean and Andre; they were attentive, caring, thorough, and looked after Makko like he was their own. They proved themselves very experienced in dog behaviour and it was evident they were attentive to his needs, making sure he was comfortable and well cared for. They checked in with me to let me know how he was going with occasional photos and written updates, which I appreciated. When I returned home, Makko was happy, content, relaxed, and missed their company. My home was immaculate on my return, and my plants and gardens were tended to with such care they were much happier and healthier than before I left. Jean and Andre are authentic, warm, friendly, trustworthy people, showed great respect from my home and personal space, and I feel very lucky to have crossed paths with them. I am going away in December for 10 days and have asked them to return to mind Makko again, which they have accepted. Anyone who has the opportunity to have Jean and Andre house sit their fur babies and home are very lucky. Thank you!

Jean and Andre looked after our house and two kitties for a weekend. They made time to come for an initial meeting and asked lots of questions which showed they were interested in house and pets. They looked after our house and kitties and left it neater and cleaner than before. I would highly recommend them anytime. Diane

Jean and Andre were great, both very professional. I felt extremely comfortable having them look after my place and most importantly my cat Winnie. I would highly recommend using their service and will definitely use them in the future.

Jean and Andre have done a wonderful job looking after our German short-handed pointer Milly. They were totally caring and attentive, happy to give her lots of exercise and companionship and we came home to a very happy relaxed pet.. Jean and Andre are trustworthy, conscientious, kind and thoughtful and I highly recommend them. In addition we returned to a lovely clean house and all was in order. We hope to gave Jean and Andre again next time!
