We are a non-smoking, healthy, fit and active semi-retired couple, experienced in looking after cats and all different breeds of dogs in their own home. Each of us has looked after and cared for dogs and cats throughout most of our lives. I (Julieanne) do some freelance work on the internet, so your pets will have company while I work. John is a retired horticulturalist, artist and musician.

Please contact us if you think your pets and/or garden would like to be cared for by us!

Since February 2023, we've been house and pet sitting fulltime in South Australia mostly and a couple of months on the Gold Coast. We are now looking for house sits only in Adelaide and surroundings, including as far north as Gawler.

We have looked after many different ages and breeds of dogs including a sweet gentle, but very energetic Border Collie, two extremely energetic Kelpie/Heelers, a very cute Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, an affectionate mini Schnauzer, a very cute and young Maltese Shih Tzu, three human-like Cavoodles, 2 adorable French Bulldogs and 2 very old dogs of mixed breeds.

There have also been many different types of cats, ranging from 12 months old to 20 years old, two of them were quite sick and required medication and lots of attention. At times, we've also had a large garden to water and care for, as well as over 50 African Violets, 10 Orchids and other delicate indoor plants at one time.

We both keep fit by walking, swimming, doing cardiac exercise and weight lifting at the gym. If you would like to know more about us, our website will tell you much more here... AussieHouseSittersFullTime.com

We are on Facebook, and love to communicate on Messenger, sending photos and messages every couple of days, to reassure you that your pets are happy and healthy.

If you're interested in us looking after your pets and your house, please contact us by message or phone, then we would love to come to your home and meet you all.

Julieanne and John were wonderful house and pet sitters. We have 3 cats and a dog which where all happy and healthy when we returned. They loved our beautiful, gentle Border Collie, Scotty. Two of our cats required medication and that was managed well. We were kept up to date with messages, photos and queries. They even let us know that there had been no rain for a couple of weeks. This was unusual for May and our large garden was drying out. They followed our instructions to restore ... MORE
 
LIBBY (Clare SA, May 2023 - 1 month and 3 weeks)
Thanks so much Libby! We loved looking after Scotty and your cats. I enjoyed seeing the African Violets grow too & want one of my own now that I've learnt from you how to look after them.
Julieanne and John were excellent house sitters. Our first impression was that they were very friendly, organised and professional, taking notes and asking important questions. While we were away, we received regular updates and photos of our pets. This helped us to be at ease. They were very mindful of our space and asked for permission to have friends or family visit. They provided an overview of any issues i.e., trouble with a bathroom sink, or pet mishaps. There was nothing substantial ... MORE
 
JASON (Modbury SA, Dec 2023 - 4 weeks)
thank you Jason, we are missing Teela and Scout already.
What a pleasure to come home to a neat, clean home and well tended garden after 5 weeks away. Julieanne and John were the perfect house sitters and we will definitely use them again if their schedule allows it.
 
JENNIFER (Worongary QLD, Oct 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
Julieanne and John did a beautiful job taking care of my home and 1 year old Labradoodle. As she is a breeding dog and soon to come on heat this was no issue at all and she was kept safe. I was updated with photos and information on how my dog was doing. Arrived home to a perfectly tidy and clean house. Highly recommend Julieanne and John and would happily have them stay again
 
JULIA (Modbury North SA, Sep 2023 - 5 nights)
Thanks so much Julia, we thoroughly enjoyed looking after Willow. She is so cute, lovable and playful.
Julieanne and John spent a month at our house with our quirky dog Dave. Communication was excellent and on our return it was obvious Dave was well cared for and the house was in excellent condition. We are hoping they are available to help us out again next year!
 
JANE (Stonyfell SA, Aug 2023 - 4 weeks)
Thank you Jane, we would love to care for Dave again next year!
Julieanne and John are very experienced house sitters which was very reassuring with my new puppy. They came to meet him prior to the house sit and were great communicators, sending photos and updates while I was away. They took great care of my home, everything neat and tidy when I came back, and they also attended to some garden chores, weeding and watering. And a relaxed and happy little dog greeted me when I returned. I would definitely recommend them for house sitting. Thank you Julieanne ... MORE
 
RUTH (Prospect SA, Jul 2023 - 1 week)
Thank you Ruth. Your new puppy is adorable and we loved looking after him.
We thank Julieanne and John for taking good care of our house and fur babies. Both house and garden were kept clean and tidy. Erik and Lisette were very contented, even the fish in the pond looked happy! Communication was great, even to post some photos to us while we were away! We will certainly offer them to housesit in future need, hoping that they will be available.
 
FRANCOIS (Paralowie SA, Apr 2023 - 2 weeks 3 days)
thank you Francois! We would certainly love to stay at your home again. Erik is such a sweet dog, we are missing him!
Our mum had Julieanne and Jon care for us while she was away and we fell in love😻🐶. They loved us like their own and took me for lots of walks. Silly Max played tricks on them and made them laugh, I thought she was dumb but Julieanne and Jon thought she was cute. I helped Jon with mowing my yard and he did a way better job than my mum does. Julieanne kept Max’s poo litter nice and clean. I think cats smell, especially my cat, Max. I sulked for two days after mum left but Julieanne and ... MORE
 
GEORGE AND MAX (Brooklyn Park SA, Mar 2023 - 2 weeks)
Thank you George!! You and your Mum are very funny storytellers!!
After a very long trip we came home to a clean, well kept house. The garden had been very well maintained and plants were well cared for. We received pictures of the animals while we were away aswell which was so nice. The animals were happy, fed and healthy. They even made sure the animals were fed before we left so it was one less thing for us to worry about when we came home after a long day of travelling. Highly recommend John and Julieanne. We couldn’t be happier. Thank you so ... MORE

Julianne & John did a wonderful job of house and pet sitting for our trip away. The garden was well cared for, even with the heatwave. The pets were happy to see us, but obviously well loved and cared for during our absence. A lovely couple who I would highly recommend for house/pet sitting. Reliable, communicated as needed and more importantly our fur babies were happy and our home well taken care during our trip. Thanks again to you both for allowing us to have a worry free visit to ... MORE
 
DIANNE (Greenock SA, Feb 2023 - 4 weeks)
Julieanne and John did a wonderful job of caring for our boys. Our dogs were well looked after as was our home. We would be happy to have them back again.
 
DENISE (Miami QLD, Nov 2022 - 3 days)
thank you Denise. we enjoyed staying there!
I was very happy with John when he looked after my cat and home recently. He let me know when he had arrived and sent regular updates while I was away, to let me know how things were going with my cat. He also sent me several photos during the course of his stay and I could tell from the pics that my cat was very comfortable with him. That was a big relief. Communication with him and Julieanne was outstanding and easy. They were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Thanks John, I'd ... MORE
 
DIANNA (Bilinga Beach QLD, Oct 2022 - 3 days)
Thanks so much Dianna. We would love to stay there again and care for Eric.
John and Julieanne did an exceptional job at looking after our fur babies. The cats were very impressed. The house was immaculate and John even weeded the garden. Thoroughly recommend this lovely couple.
 
VICKI (Walkley Heights SA, Aug 2022 - 2 weeks 5 days)
Thank you Vickie
We had a great experience having John and Julieanne house sit for us in August. The house was very clean and tidy when we returned, the animals were happy and healthy and the plants had been watered and pruned.
 
IAIN (Evanston Park SA, Aug 2022 - 3 days - 2 of 3 endorsements from this owner )
Thank you Iain, we enjoyed staying at your home, caring for your pets and your plants.
Had a great experience with Julieanne house sitting for us. The animals absolutely adored her and the house was kept clean and tidy. I would give this house sitter an A+ and definitely hope to have them back in the future. Thank you so much.
 
IAIN (Evanston Park SA, Apr 2022 - 4 days - 3 of 3 endorsements from this owner )
Thanks soooo much!
Julieanne kept up updated with photos of our boys daily & messages. It was very assuring to know they were ok! Thank you for this and leaving the house spotless! Would recommend to others!
