My wife and I have been pet sitting / house for many years. Our preference is to stay in your home and give your fur babies lots of attention rather than just drop by for a short time each day. We are both retired so can spend time at home spoiling your precious family pet. We take home security and care very seriously. We can stay in touch daily with updates and photos so you can have a relaxing time away knowing your loved fur baby is well looked after. 

We can supply manyreferences from happy owners and often get invited back to do a repeat sit. We are non smokers.

Dogs will be walked, pets will receive loads of cuddles, pats and attention. Plants will be watered, mail collected and lawns mowed if needed during our stay. We prefer to look after small to medium dogs.

We are happy to have small housetrained inside dogs stay at our place (if they are cat friendly). Cats too can stay over. 

In the past we have done long sits but our preference now is for shorter sits - preferred areas are Bribie Island and Beachmere so we can be close to our base.  

Some snippets from our references:

"This trip away we decided to have Ken and Julie do homesitting. This was the best decision ever. Our poodle Lulu was in her own environment and kept her routines while we had peace of mind knowing that our 5 canaries, numerous goldfish, vegetable garden and orchid collection were all cared for while we were away. Ken and Julie did a marvellous job for us with everything looking wonderful when we got home. We cannot thank them enough for their care and attention to detail and have booked them again for later in the year."

"Ken mowed our lawn for us as well which we never expected but were very grateful on our return as it was one less thing to have to do, the house was also left in an immaculate condition and I did not have to worry about vacuuming or cleaning on our return. We were so impressed with Ken and Julie and have asked them back to look after our home and fur babies if it fits in their calendar."

" Upon our return we were very happy and will definitely have them back in the future. Arriving home we thought "this isn't our house" - because it was so beautiful and spotless. Our home was left in immaculate condition both inside and out. We cannot thank Ken and Julie enough for the care they took of our home for the 6 months we were away. They also communicated with us regularly and forwarded mail"

"Our experience having Julie and Ken as house sitters was a very positive one and we have no hesitation in recommending them. They seem like very honest, caring, respectful people who enjoy staying in different places exploring the local area at their leisure."

"Julie and Ken were great house sitters, they made a point of visiting me and Molly before the sit, were easy to communicate with and took great care of my cat and home. I appreciated the communication part way through my holiday on how things were."

"We were very fortunate to have Ken and Julie house sit for us for 5 weeks . They were a delightful couple who looked after our large residence very well. We have a couple of small dogs who required tender loving care and they both were very spoilt by Ken and Julie."

"In addition to the house they also had to care for my 2 year old Ragdoll cat, Zach.

After an exhausting holiday it was fantastic to come home to find the house well looked after, clean and tidy as well as Zach looking content, relaxed and well cared for."

"They took excellent care of the pets, and kept us up to date with emails and photos. They always replied promptly to our emails and texts. We found them friendly and honest. "

"We have a good sized home with two cats and a very demanding, cheeky puppy. The most important thing for us was that our pets were happy and healthy when we returned. Not only was this the case, but I’m quite sure they were missing Julie and Ken and all the spoiling that they must have had. "

"We just wanted to say how much we appreciated you looking after our new puppy “Smudgy” while we were away. Thanks for the text message update to put our minds at rest – knowing that he was getting lots of attention and care. "

"We had the pleasure of Julie and Ken staying in our home and looking after our fur babies recently. The care and attention to detail with each of our pets was unmatched. We received daily updates and photos on how each was going. They have a genuine interest in animals and their wellbeing and this was very evident throughout their stay. Not only that, our house was immaculate when we returned – so lovely! We will definitely be booking Julie and Ken in again and have no hesitation in recommending them. "
