Andy helps cover anytime Im working, as he is retired but busy with his hobbies and looking after our home .

We have looked after birds, chooks, dogs , cats and horses, etc.
Both adore all animals
Happy to look after pools and cars and have experience with both personally and house sitting .

I like to think I am an environmentalist with a kind heart and hard-working ethic, Who enjoys a more relaxed lifestyle as I get older.

We don't smoke. Love to walk. Happy to help garden and house.
Very tidy and organized couple. we have looked after swimming pools and are happy to start your car up etc.

I Work part time flexible casual hours to suit in the Disability and Child protection sectors , my hours are flexible.
Andy is a retired specialist Mechanic.
We are starting to plan our early retirement for the next few years and will be traveling more and house-sitting more along the way. An exciting new chapter.

We have a self contained camper van too but prefer to sit in the house.

We own our own home which we have had cared for by house sitters , so understand the feelings and needs to find the right fit. .
We have updated: Police and safety check as required by DHHS and Ndis.
Wwcc. and many references.
Very tidy love all animals and work in the care/community sector.
We have a rescue dog who often comes with me if compatible, he is a 12 year old meduim size , retired therapy dog, so very relaxed and incredibly well trained.
He also loves all animals and is very savvy, he often helps with other animals , with his chilled personality.
We have always rescued our dogs, and chickens. So Hudson our dog is tested with dogs , cats and chickens and farm animals.

We have great references for house sitting over the years.
Although I am vegetarian I am happy to feed animals whatever you give. Happy to help if they need medications etc.

Andy is a kind loyal and practical man always good with a solution and practical help.

Like to think good communication is key to great trust and I am happy to do progress reports and pictures along the way if you would like .

Kind Regards Tina

Tina & Andy looked after our house and 2 year old Aussie Retriever for 3 weeks while we were away oversees. Tina made the the whole process really easy and stress free. Communication and updates were really made us feel at ease. Upon our return our house was spotless and Our Aussie retriever was happy and healthy, Tina even managed to fix our broken washing machine without having to call a technician! Absolute legend. We highly recommend Tina & Andy and would have them back in a heartbeat.

Tina and Andy were amazing! Great to communicate with before our trip and exceeded all expectations during. We recieved regular updates and pictures of our dog, Tess who instantly bonded with Andy. Tess isn't easily won over however Andy and Tina were genuinely interested in meeting her individual needs. They handled her daily medication and even walked her in the freezing/rain when we were saying she would be ok for a day or two! We returned to a spotless house, happy plants and content (freshly washed) pup. We are hoping to utilise Tina and Andy again in the future!

Tina & Andrew were fantastic. Our 18 month old heeler is very anxious & doesn’t like strangers. Both Tina & Andy visited neumerous times before their sit to associate themselves with Cassie’s anxiety & routine . Cassie becomes quite agitated & heightened with people she doesn’t know well entering the house. But Tina was very proactive by engaging in some external training to help Cassie overcome her nervousness around them. They stayed 5 days with Cassie and by this time Cassie was giving them lots of love cuddles! We look forward to them returning on our next trip away! The house was left immaculate & their sheets & towels were washed & folded. We can’t recommend Tina & Andrew enough.

Tina, Andy & Hudson came to stay at our house for a quick weekend away for our first ever Happy House Sitters experience and it could not have gone better. The whole process was just so easy. It's an understatement that everything went better than expected and we are looking foward to doing it all again in January! Wish we had found Happy House Sitters sooner!

After initially meeting Tina she made us feel so comfortable to leave our “extra family members”, our dog and bird. She was a genuinely pet lover, respected and kept our home clean and would be gladly welcomed back if we needed a Housesitter again. Thanks Tina!

Tina was a wonderful house sitter that looked after our old dog with tenderness and care and left our house spotless. She kept us informed on how our dog was managing through regular updates including photos. We are looking forward to having Tina back again and have no hesitation in recommending her to other families. June and Alastair
