Hello! We’re Maria and Stu, an Uruguayan–Australian couple based in beautiful Noosa who love caring for pets and looking after homes as if they were our own.

I’m Maria, a graduate architect with a background in sustainability, and I’ve loved animals and shared my life with pets since childhood. Together, Stu and I have completed over 20 successful house- and pet-sitting stays across Australia and internationally, and we’re very happy to share links and positive feedback from previous pet parents.

We enjoy both outdoor adventures and quiet time at home and genuinely love the company of animals. Whether it’s a peaceful walk, playtime, or simply keeping pets company, we find every moment rewarding.

We’re non-smokers, live a healthy and sustainable lifestyle, and are often described as easy-going, reliable, organised, and tidy. We take pride in respecting homes, routines, and individual pet needs.

While Noosa is our home base, we’re also available for pet and house sitting while travelling and visiting other places. I will usually care for pets together with Stu, allowing us to be present, flexible, and consistent with care.

Stu is an Australian teacher, Surf Life Saver, Justice of the Peace, and SES volunteer, and I’m an architect (in Uruguay) with a Master’s degree in Sustainability who enjoys gardening and outdoor care.

If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets and home with genuine care, we’d love to help — whether it’s daily walks, visits, or short-term stays. We’re always happy to chat or arrange a call if you’d like to get to know us better.

Warm regards,

Maria & Stu
