Helpful Happy House Sitters

Hello!
We understand that leaving your home and animals in the care of house sitters for extended periods can be very stressful, but we can assure you that your home and extended family will be treated with kind and loving hands.

We are a middle aged couple whom sold our restaurant business and are now travelling this wonderful country of ours, and would like to offer our services to house sit your home while you do whatever your need or want to do elsewhere.

Bobbie owned and operated a small animal refuge in the USA before coming to Australia and we would welcome looking after your own beloved pets if you so need.

We also have farm sitting experience involving the care of horses, sheep, chooks, galahs, geese and turkey's.

Also, Bobbie has been a house cleaner both in the USA and in Australia. She worked for a well known Dr and his family in Brisbane over 4+ years.

We are clean and respectful and would treat your home the same as we would our own, treating your home as a home should be treated.

We will do any house cleaning or garden duties required while you are gone, if you wish, to maintain a nice clean home, ready for your return.

Bret is experienced in pool maintenance as we had an inground pool at our previous home for many years.

We are on no real time limit, being without any real commitments to any place at this time.

We can provide excellent references and would absolutely love to take are of your fur babies.

We believe ourselves to be reliable and trustworthy and hope to hear from you in the near future to make arrangements.

Bret and Bobbie cared for our off grid farmhouse on the Eyre Peninsula for 18 months. I cannot recommended them highly enough! They kept us informed, forwarded our mail, dealt with repairs and problems that arose without any drama. ( a leaking water pipe, glitches with the solar power system, window repairs etc). We are well aware, our place is not the easiest of homes ( circa 1900 stone cottage) to maintain and live in, and the environment can be brutal with dust, snakes, hot northerly winds, no aircon and no McDonalds for 100kms, but these guys have the intestinal fortitude, skills and resilience to deal with any problem that arose. Keeping a garden growing in the difficult environment has always been a challenge but its thriving and lush, thanks to Bobbie and Bret's care, as does our fish tank.! We wouldn't have been able to travel so long away from home, without the piece of mind, Bobbie and Bret gave us. We knew our home was in good hands, and wish them happy travels in the future.

Bobbie and Bret gave us peace of mine while we were away. Nothing seemed to be to much trouble for them. Communication was good, either with weekly email update or by phone. Even when a large tree fell down over the chicken yard and dog kennels they just got to and cleaned it up. Bobbie and Bret took photos and sent them to us. We couldn't have done better ourselves. The chickens, turkeys and cats have all been well cared for. The lawn has be cared for with mowing and watering. Thank you Bret, Bobbie and Jaz for looking after our home.
