Adept Petsitters, J.P. Qual.

52, Retired

64, Robotics Engineer

Hello Valued Home Owner,.
I am a Justice of the Peace and John is a robotics engineer from a farming background who has a strong interest in environmental science.
John works from his laptop and Alicia is retired. Responsible and reliable, with police checks and identity verified, we are both vaccinated and with boosters, non- smokers, easy going and reliable.
We do not have our own pets and do not have children.
We have had pets all our lives and have also helped many people select their pet family member as a job. I have volunteered with the Animal Welfare League and we both love all animals and will respect your home.
We know that one of the biggest concerns would be that your house-sitter actually follows through after confirming a house-sit with you. We will only cancel under extreme circumstances and with plenty of notice. To date we have never cancelled a house sit. You can proceed with your holiday plans with peace of mind.
We are able to easily follow directions and will communicate well with you. Your home will be as clean and tidy as you left it, and your pets will be given love and attention.
Thank you and I look forward to helping you enjoy your time away, knowing that everything is looked after the way you want it to be.

The housesit was perfect. It exceeded our expectations in every way! The communication was excellent before and during the housesit. Alicia is such lovely person and a wonderful, caring dog lover. Our dogs were thoroughly spoilt, even receiving a dog bath. The house was spotless, and the dogs were healthy and happy. We highly recommend them for any housesitting needs. You'll receive 5 star service all the way.
 
RAEL (Norfolk Island External Territories, May 2024 - 5 nights)
What a lovely experience we had - thank you for the trust you placed in us and for the wonderful warm welcome we received. You made everything easy for us and your puppies are a delight!
Alicia and John were amazing and everything you could want when it comes to house sitters. They gave such good care to our fur baby lily. I can tell that lily misses them because she keeps going into the room they stayed in! We returned from our trip to a spotless house and some home made treats which were delicious. They also sent many photos of lily which kept our anxiety at ease. We could not reccomend Alicia and john more. We are so happy with them and would definitely use again in the ... MORE
 
SOPHIE (Mornington TAS, Dec 2023 - 2 weeks 4 nights)
Thank you both for a lovely time with your beautiful sweet Lily.
I HIT THE JACKPOT!!! I searched high & low and I hit the jackpot with Alicia & John. They have now house sat for me on three occasions this year. The first time was for 7 weeks, the second time was for 1 week and the third time was for another 8 weeks. I felt at ease knowing my little furbaby Ellie was going to be loved and cared for. They are both down to earth, gracious and have a fantastic sense of humour and Ellie took to them straight away. They sent us photos and videos of our little ... MORE
 
JULIE (Sunshine Coast QLD, Jul 2023 - 1 month 3 weeks)
Thank you Julie. What an absolute charmer your Ellie is! She had us doting on her right from the start. Thank you for your consideration and kindness throughout the house sit and we love looking after your little girl!!!
Alicia and John were amazing house sitters and I would highly recommend them. They stayed in our house for 4 weeks and they took care of our Cavoodle Lolly with so much care and attention. She was so happy and healthy when we returned. Alicia would send us pictures and videos of Lolly and would answer promptly if we had any requests. Thank you and we look forward to having you back on our next trip.
 
VANESSA (Robina QLD, Jun 2023 - 4 weeks)
What a lovely house sit we had for Vanessa and family! We were made to feel very welcome and everything was organised beautifully for our stay. Lolly was loving and sweet and such an easy girl to care for. She quickly won our hearts and we enjoyed taking care of her. The home is very ... MORE
We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for our pack of four furballs! We are very grateful for the care and attention to detail provided by Alecia and John. We arrived home to find four very happy pooches and the house in better nick than when we left it! It’s a tremendous relief to know that we have found two lovely people we can trust to take care of our home and pups. I hope they will come again, would be nice to get to know them better.
 
BRIGITTE (Beachmere QLD, Apr 2023 - 2 weeks 3 days)
Alicia and John were great house sitters. They communicated with us frequently and left the house sparkling clean - we would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable house sitters.

Will welcome Alycia and John any time, as sitters and friends to our home Very very happy with everything they did, plus extra help they gave us when we needed it. Thoroughly highly recommend them both, They showed respect towards our home, and also gave Shadow a lot of love. I think Shadow misses Alycia a lot. Thanks guys.
 
PAT (Dodges Ferry TAS, Dec 2022 - 10 days)
Alicia and john were absolutely fantastic i cant recommend them highly enough and will be requesting their services again next trip. They were super flexible even when my trip was cut short and Kirra loved them.
 
DANIEL (Old Beach TAS, Nov 2022 - 2 weeks)
We enjoyed house sitting for Daniel. A lovely home with a separate downstairs area and great spa bath. The house is located in a friendly area with great walking options including a foreshore walk which Kirra loved. Kirra is a beautiful husky, affectionate and playful. The local dog park is less ...

We chose Alicia and John from a number of applicants and we are so glad we did. We met up prior to the housesit to go over things that would need attending to in our absence and importantly meeting Rocco our Border Collie. Alicia and John looked after the place as if it were their own home and Rocco was healthy and happy upon our return. We have already offered them another stint in 2023 if it fits in with their plans and we have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.
 
MARK (Ormeau QLD, Oct 2022 - 2 weeks)
Alicia and John are the ideal house sitters, they really are the perfect couple for taking the best care of house, garden and pets. Communication was easy and accurate. John has a great sense of humour and Alicia is very caring and nurturing. Our pets all loved them (and miss them) I highly recommend Alicia and John for their professionalism, sensitivity and reliability. I am very grateful to have found such wonderful house sitters and such sincere and genuine people.
 
DEBRA (Tewantin QLD, Sep 2022 - 1 week 4 days)
Thank you, it was our pleasure Debra! Anytime.
We engaged Alicia and John to house sit and look after our Bernese Mountain Dog and Golden Retriever for three months. We hit the jackpot! Communication, pre and during our absence, was excellent. We received regular reports including photos and videos. The dogs were exercised daily and were in top condition on our return. Alicia certainly has a way with our doggies and they loved her. The garden was very well maintained as was the house. There were no problems for us to deal with on our ... MORE
 
MAL & JACKIE (Tewantin QLD, May 2022 - Three months)
Alicia and John took great care of the dogs, house and gardens. The dogs didnt actually want them to leave which was a good sign. The house was neat and tidy when we got back and the communication while we were away was great. We can highly recommend Alicia and John to anyone wanting their house and pets looked after
 
STEVE (Palm Beach QLD, Mar 2022 - 4 days)
Alicia and John were wonderful house sitters, fantastic communication. I felt the dogs were loved and cared for while on our holiday. The house was immaculate when we arrived home plus dinner and desert in the fridge for us after travelling all day. Couldn't ask for better, I would definitely have them look after our babies and house again and would recommend them to anyone. Thankyou again
 
JOANNE (Ripley QLD, Feb 2022 - 1 week)
Alicia and John are a delightful couple who took great care of our home and Merlin our cat. They sent regular updates by text and Merlin was very happy and content, he obviously didn't miss us at all! Our cottage was clean and tidy and lunch was waiting for us on our return which was really lovely. We would not hesitate to recomend them to other home owners and would have them back any time if they are available!
 
ALISON (Maleny QLD, Jan 2022 - 1 week 3 days)
Alicia and John were fabulous house sitters. They took excellent care of the house, pool, gardens and most importantly our other member of the family, Ava, a 2 year old spoodle. We came home to delicious homemade carrot muffins and they even bought us milk. 5 stars all the way! Thank you so much Alicia and John.
 
NATALIE (The Gap QLD, Dec 2021 - 2 weeks 5 days)
Alicia is the perfect sitter. Her love for my animals shines through in her nature and her treatment of my fur babies. One of my pets fell ill just before the house sit, but Alicia didn't have any concerns in taking care and medicating my pup. Would definitely contact in the future.
