Lynda was the perfect house and pet sitter. She was organised, professional, experienced and best of all, she absolutely adored our precious dog, Zero. During her stay, Lynda send regular photos and videos of her walks and explorations with Zero and we texted often. Lynda coped admirably with a misbehaving hot water service and a dog who was petrified of the enormous storm during our absence. Our house and garden were cared for faultlessly.

Lynda was a fantastic sitter while we were away for the weekend and our pets were very happy and relaxed when we got home. Made the whole process easy and stress free.
House was in excellent condition and exceptionally clean, it made for a very easy return home especially after a long drive.
Communication was always quick and reliable and we loved receiving updates about our pets throughout the weekend.
Would highly recommend Lynda for any sitting opportunities
TIM (Ettalong Beach NSW, Oct 2024 - 3 nights)
Lynda was a phenomenon sitter. She looked after our staffy x kelpie, Skyla. Lynda sent through lots of photos keeping us up to date of their outings together. Our home was also well looked after.
I couldnât be happier that Lynda stayed in our home & looked after Skyla as if she were her own.
Highly recommended. 5 stars
JACKIE (Maryville NSW, Sep 2024 - 3 weeks)
Lynda was an excellent house and pet sitter for our border collie and elderly cat. Lynda spent time grooming them every day and when we returned they looked better than I'd ever seen them! Our garden was thriving and the house was spotless. We also appreciated how well she communicated and how willing she was to do/check things for us while we were gone. I can definitely recommend Lynda and wouldn't hesitate to have her sit for us again.
ELIZABETH (Yarrawonga Park NSW, Mar 2024 - 4 nights)
We were extremely happy with the way Lynda looked after our house and our dog Lemon, while we were away travelling.
Being an old dog Lemon requires special care and attention, and he was clearly very happy and comfortable with Lynda.
Also, Lynda took great care of the house and left it in an ideal condition.
Overall, it was an excellent experience, and we would absolutely love to be able to work with Lynda again!

It was lovely to have Lynda back. She did a great job looking after our dog Otis and gave our yard some love (water) during the hot days. Hope to see you again soon Lynda âșïž

Lynda is one of the best house sitters we have ever had, we can't recommend her enough.

If you are looking for someone responsible and trustworthy, we highly recommend her. Thank you Lynda for going above and beyond!
CHRISTINE & JAKE (Yorkeys Knob QLD, Dec 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
This was Lynda's 4th housesit for us, inside the last 2 years.
This is testament to Lynda's professionalism, and her level of genuine care and concern for our home and girls (2 Tonkinese cats). It's always so clearly evident how our girls bond so quickly and easily with Lynda.
We are very hopeful that Lynda will be available mid 2024 for a 2 month period, when we will be travelling overseas again. This would give us enormous peace of mind during our absence.

Lynda is the consummate housesitter and cat whisperer. Yet again, we were totally relaxed while travelling, knowing our home and "girls" (2 Tonkinese) were being cared for by Lynda, as if they were her own.
Daily videos and photos of the girls, though not expected, were always greatly appreciated.

Thankfully Lynda was available and happy to keep our cats company once again. Purrrfectly. Second time this year - and we are already sad, knowing during our next trip, she won't be available. But we are very happy for her as it sounds like great plans ahead. And hopefully one day in the future times will line up again.

Lynda has been our preferred house-sitter for the last 5 years and her most recent housesit was for almost 8 weeks whilst we were in Europe. Her positive, common sense approach, attention to detail and cleanliness are exemplary. Her attachment and attention to our 19 year old cat, Simba, over the past few years has been amazing.

We knew that Simba was close to the end but Lynda took on the extra duty of his final days whilst we were gone and was responsible for his burial and other details in our place. We cannot praise her enough for her sympathy and detail discussions over this very sad period . We would recommend her to any house-sitting especially if they have pets needing special care and attention. Lynda we cannot thank you enough....thank you, thank you, thank you xxx

Another perfect, carefree house sit by Lynda. It was obvious our girls (2 female Tonkinese cats) loved their time with Lynda again.
Lynda also cares for our home as if it was her own - and deals with the unexpected with ease.
We highly recommend Lynda - so much so, we have planned our next trip to suit her availability!
HUGH AND LINDA (Main Beach QLD, Jul 2023 - 4 weeks - 3 of 4 endorsements from this owner )
Lynda is a very easy and responsive house sitter. The cats were well looked after and my place was left spotless. I received regular updates and the girls seemed to love Lyndaâs company. I highly recommend Lynda as a competent and trustworthy sitter.
JEN (Chevron Island QLD, Jun 2023 - 3 weeks)
What can I say we have never had a house sitter before and were very hesitant to do so. I was very careful with selecting the right person. Lynda was a pleasure to have in our home , so friendly and professional in the way she looked after our Cat RJ he just loved Lynda's company and companionship.
We received updates regularly with videos of a very happy cat playing, the communication was fantastic. We came home to a lovely clean home, I would highly recommend Lynda and hope to have her back ... MOREWhat can I say we have never had a house sitter before and were very hesitant to do so.

SHARON (Hope Island QLD, May 2023 - 2 weeks 6 days)
Lynda looked after my home, cat and dog for 5 days and she is absolutely AMAZING. We had excellent communication from the start and throughout the sit, my pets instantly bonded with her and she looked after my home like it was her own. I came home to two very happy pets and my home was spotless. I highly recommend Lynda as a sitter and she will be the first person I contact whenever I go away. Thank you so much Lynda.
KATIE (Everton Park QLD, May 2023 - 5 days)
Lynda was an absolute pleasure to deal with - from her first reaction to our ad till the minute she left our house at the end of the sit.
House and our 2 cats were very well looked after and she kept us posted about the boys and surprise parcels rocking up at the door - ensuring that we had worry-free days away.
We highly recommend Lynda - and are currently trying to organise our next holiday to fit in with her availability.

Lynda, thank you so much!
For others looking for a house sitter, Lynda, was everything we hoped for. This was our first time using a house-sitter and we were a little anxious. We didnât have great expectations of anyone but, of course, you hope they will take care of your pet and home as we would. The moment we met Lynda she instilled a sense of trust and care.

Her manner and conversation with us and instant attention to Munro (our 7yr labradoodle) reassured us immediately. During our four weeks away we received regular updates which often made us laugh and grateful weâd made the right choice in Lynda. On our return home the house was as we left it and I dare say maybe cleaner.
Thank you again Lynda. We canât recommend you highly enough. Youâve set a high bar.
GREG (Mayfield NSW, Mar 2023 - 4 weeks)
We had Lynda sit our two spoilt Maltese girls for 2 weeks. Lynda walked them, played with them, bathed them and spoilt them as se do. We received videos and photos often that we appreciated and enjoyed. The house was well cared for and our girls well loved
What more can you ask for
Thank you Lynda.
HEATHER (Ocean Grove VIC, Apr 2022 - 2 weeks)
Lynda was a wonderful house sitter and carer for our girls (2 female Tonkinese). Her years of experience were clearly evident from our first conversation.
Mischief is generally a little shy, but quickly formed a strong bond with Lynda. Rascal is more extrovert, but equally loved Lynda's attention. It was very reassuring, as this was the first time our girls had been cared for by someone else for more than a few nights.

Our apartment was pristine upon our return, and our girls healthy, very happy and content.
We would love to have Lynda house sit for us again, and highly recommend her to you.

We are so happy that we had Lynda to look after our pets. She was very communicative and took good care of the house while showering our pets with love and affection. We were happy to have someone so experienced to housesit for us.
JOSEPHINE (Mount Gravatt East QLD, Jan 2022 - 1 week 2 days)
Lynda was a fabulous house and dog sitter. Maple our Vizsla had the most amazing adventures around north east Brisbane and we were kept well informed with photos. We appreciate Lynda flexibility in us cutting the sit short and moving her into a hotel so we could return home due to a family illness. We would welcome Lynda back.

GLENDA (Bongaree QLD, Nov 2021 - 2 weeks 6 days - 2 of 6 endorsements from this owner )
I certainly recommend Lyda as a trustworthy and caring housesitter. She looks after our cat, Simba and our home for almost 7 weeks. On our return, we found Simba happy and loved and the house was a pleasure to return to. Thanks Lynda, I look forward to next time.
GLENDA (Bongaree QLD, May 2021 - 1 month 2 weeks - 3 of 6 endorsements from this owner )
Lynda sent us regular pics of our very contented cat. She's old and fussy and Lynda accommodated her needs and quirks very well.
The house was clean and tidy and a joy to come home to. All our plants had been watered and were thriving, even though Lynda reckons she's no gardener.
I would have no hesitation using Lynda again or recommending her.
ALEXANDRA (Bargara QLD, Apr 2021 - 3 weeks)
Lynda was a remarkable house sitter. During a prolonged period of heavy rain she maintained our house, pool, yard and animals (2 large dogs and one cat) to the highest possible standard. Lynda's communication with us was exemplary, keeping us aware of the situation and any problems.

We loved Lynda as a house-sitter, she looked after our 1 year old Labradoodle for 4 days. She walked him twice a day and spent lots of time with him. We had a few house rules for the dog and Lynda followed these all up as well which was great. After we came home the house looked exactly as how we left it (super clean). We got a photo and update of how he was doing from her everyday. We would love to have Lynda back to house sit for us again.
JOYCE (Mayfield East NSW, Feb 2021 - 4 days - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
It was so sad to have to ruin Lynda's housesit as we were forced to return home due to Covid 19. I know that she would have done a wonderful job with Simba and our home if she had the opportunity of housesitting for the 9 weeks that was intended. I will be asking Lynda to housesit if we are ever allowed out again.
Thanks again Lynda
Regards Glenda and Rod

Lynda was our first house sitter, and she was A-Mazing! I cannot thank her enough. Lynda's communication was upfront around the arrangements and she did not leave any points out, which was perfect for a first timer like us.
She was certainly a dog-lover, sending photos and videos of Hunter enjoying a walk. Hunter was brushed and well taken care of and for that we are thankful....

Lynda responded very promptly to my ad and messages. She was very organised and a pleasure to deal with. Pearl clearly enjoyed a nice quiet week with Lynda and everything was very neat and tidy upon our return! She very helpfully took care of some washing of linens etc we didn't finish before we left. I would recommend Lynda for your house-sit.
TANJA (Port Macquarie NSW, Jan 2020 - 1 week 1 day)
We had Lynda care for our dog, cat, house, and garden for 5 weeks over December/January. She is an extremely down to earth, easygoing house sitter who is very reliable and easy to communicate with. She kept us updated with photos of our two girls, which was lovely. Upon our return we found the house and garden clean and well cared for. Our dog and cat were extremely relaxed, calm, and happy.

Lynda allowed us to not worry about our furry baby while we were away Or our home. She was a pleasure to have in our home and trustworthy. The house was left just as we left it, nice and clean. our dog got spoiled with lots of walks and Lynda as well went above and beyond by driving us to the airport and picking us up. would highly recommend her to anyone!
JOANNE (Tighes Hill NSW, Feb 2019 - 6 days)
Lynda is a real treasure in every way and cannot believe our good fortune that she was available a second time to mind our house and pet when when gave her short notice for a friends wedding we had to go to overseas. Came back to an immaculate house, a very contented pussy cat and wonderful communication as always while we were away.

Thank you so much Lynda for taking good care of our little Pippa and keeping the house clean & tidy. We felt very comfortable and at ease with Lynda from the first moment we met, and appreciated her keeping us up to date whilst we were away. Lynda is very kind, capable and trustworthy and we would love to have her stay at our home again in the future. : )

TERRY (Mawson ACT, Oct 2018 - 1 week 2 days)
It was so nice to not have to worry about our house or dog for 4 weeks. Lynda is a lovely lady who took great care of everything. Muzza is missing her I think. House was spotless on our return and the welcome home was lovely. Thoroughly recommend Lynda to anyone who needs house/petsitter. Thank you so much Lynda.
DIANE (Hampton Park VIC, Aug 2018 - 4 weeks)
Lynda was fantastic- she was happy and positive.
She kept in touch while we were away with photos of Simba who was well cared for. I recommend her to leave your property as you left it and to care for your animals. Thanks Lynda.

This was our very first experience with using a sitter for our house and pets but Lynda put us at ease with her down to earth attitude. She kept us updated on our dog and cat with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. Upon our return we found the house well looked after and clean, and our pets content. Our dog in particular was smitten!

We would highly recommend Lynda to anyone requiring a sitter for their home and pets. We felt like we were welcoming a friend into our home from the moment we met. Lynda is warm and sociable with great communication skills.
It was comforting to hear from her via social media every so often during our five week vacation to give us brief updates on our pet's welfare and other minor household concerns.

We came back to a gleaming home and a very contented pussy cat. We think she is a marvelous cat whisperer as our cat can be demanding of attention at times as well as a little skittish, yet Lynda's patience made for a very well adjusted animal on our return.
Thank you Lynda for all the peace of mind you gave us to afford my husband and I a very relaxing time away.

Lynda took great care of our cat and of our house. Our cat looked happy and well brushed when we came back. It was wonderful to come home to a clean house and it was very much appreciated that the used sheets were washed and clean again. While we were away we were kept up to date with pictures of our cat to see how he was doing. We would be happy to have her back another time.
