About this sitter
Andrew and I are a mid fifties couple and we have both recently retired. Andrew was born and bred on a sheep farm and myself on a dairy farm. We have lots of experience with a variety of animals.
I am a retired Intensive care paramedic and Andrew was driving trucks and recently owned our own powder coating business.
We are both non smokers.
Why they want to house sit
We love exploring different areas of different countries and love to get involved with the local community.
House sitting is a great way to explore areas and get to know the locals.
We know it can be very stressful when you have to leave your fur babies and we love to look after others pets to take some of this stress away.
We are both clean and very respectful of other’s property.
Their experience
We both have had many pets over the years and have also looked after aging pets that can be a bit tricky.
I am from a health care background so having to give tablets or injections is not something that bothers either of us
What can they bring to the assignment
Care, cleanliness and trust

Testimonials
Long Weekend Dog sit
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t have asked for better dog and house sitters than Jacky and Andrew! They are down-to-earth, caring people who truly love animals our dog Dusty was so well looked after and clearly adored them. We really appreciated the regular photos and updates while we were away, which gave us complete peace of mind. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and our home was left spotless. Jacky and Andrew are such an open, friendly couple, and we’re sure they’ll be long-time friends. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and genuinely caring sitters! 🐾

Friends for life
Wow, I think I might invite Jacky & Andrew to stay every time we go away on holidays. The house was cleaner than it's ever been in its life on our return, and they left us prepared meals in the freezer, so we didn't have to rush out shopping immediately. They even planted new vegies in our garden bed for us to enjoy, so we'd have something to remember them after they'd left. Thanks guys. Don't hesitate to have them house sit for you. They will care for your home and pets lovingly and they communicate every step of the way.
