About this sitter

We are a retired professional couple who love to travel. Kathy has significant experience with cats, rescue dogs and, to a lesser extent, horses. Trevor is very handy with a tool box. We are a quiet and respectful, non smoking, couple looking to experience new places and cultures.

Why they want to house sit

We love to experience different places from a local perspective and we can offer reliable care in exchange for accommodation.

Their experience

Have cared for cats through our local cat sitting circle, looked after friend's dogs and pony for vacations and have fostered more than twenty dogs for a local charity.
We have, in the last two years, completed several sits in Noosa, Cairns, Perth and Wollongong in Australia and Wellington NZ. We can supply references for all.

Testimonials

House sit Western Australia 2019

I can't recommend Kathy and Trevor highly enough. Very easy to talk to which made it easy to arrange all the details. They looked after my house and garden for 8 weeks and were in touch quickly about any problems. They left the house in an immaculate condition and I couldn't have wanted for better caretakers.

Robyn Rundle and Mike Pay

Kathy and Trevor responded to our request for a house sitter and upon reading their details on MindMyHouse we both felt they had the qualities and attributes we were hoping to find. Once they arrived, we had a day to handover and it was clear we had made the right decision offering them our "assignment". We were so please with the initial house sit we have invited them to return for a further 2. They described themselves as quiet, reliable and respectful and that is exactly as we found them to be. Honest, reliable, excellent with our dogs and we couldn't have asked for nicer people. The real test is that of the dogs. As our dogs are both rescues, sensitive and not young, if things haven't gone well, when we return they are withdrawn and just not themselves. When we returned we were delighted to find everything was just as if we hadn't been away. We couldn't recommend them more highly and would happily have them return at any time.

Great experience

Kathy and Trevor were fantastic! They were organised and very reliable, the house was cleaner when I arrived home then when I left and my cat was very happy :) Definitely would recommend.
