74, Retired Property Manager

Active and fit male, non-smoking.
My profile name came from another house sitting site. She started by writing:
" I wish I could give Brian a hundred stars! He is honestly everything we could have hoped for in a house sitter and much more (yes, he actually cleaned our oven)."
I have gone back many times for repeat sittings for them..
Oven cleaning is not a given :-)
I have all of my reviews, from that other site, available to forward to you. All are verifiable at your request.

In a more recent extension to a review that I received in an email commented:

"Hello Brian, So lovely to hear from you. Apologies for a very brief review, I am new to this & should have offered more details . You did such an amazing job under some adversity caring for all of our animals, we are so grateful to you. Our neighbours were very impressed and rave about you too… you really made a fabulous impression on everyone Brian. Would you farm sit again here? Kindest Regards, Leanne"

I have three children and four grandchildren in NZ. For the 10 years to Dec 2023, I had been managing a residential complex of 86 permanent tenancies on the Sunshine Coast. Because of this work, I was subjected to a police check every year. Enviable unsolicited compliments from property owners can be provided along with house sitting reviews. That business has now been sold.
Previously owned 4 hectare property running sheep, cattle, goats and chickens with family cats for nearly 20 years. Well experienced in pet care and odd jobs around the house.
I can be accused of being 'obsessive compulsive' when it comes to cleanliness. I can't stand dirt on floors and I vacuum all floor surfaces in used areas daily using a powerful stick vacuum.
Also, I prefer not to cook inside, using a bbq wherever possible, even on these cold nights. Don't have a bbq or stick vacuum, I'll bring my own; no problem.
And, don't worry about cleaning before you leave; I'm happy to look after that for you.
I look forward to being able to look after your home and pets (or any other animals).
Cheers
Brian

Brian is an exceptional house sitter & we’re hoping to book him for all our future sits. We knew from the moment we met Brian that he would take good care of Xena, our German Shepherd. She loved him from that moment on. He took her for walks around the property & gave her lots of cuddles which was very important to us. He also kept us updated on a regular basis on what was happening to put our minds at ease. Brian was also a great house guest and our place was super clean & tidy when we got ... MORE

Unfortunately we had to cancel our holiday because of health reasons and Brian was amazing. He was so understanding and totally supportive of our decision and his best wishes are concern made the decision a lot easier. We are looking forward to having Brian stay in the future.

Brian was a great sitter, took great care of our border collie , Tom and took him for long walks to the beach which Tom loves. The house was left clean and tidy, and the garden was well looked after. Would definitely use Brian again. If you are looking for a great sitter, you will not go wrong with Brian.

I would be more than happy to have Brian housesit again. Although we never met in person, we connected virtually and spoke on the phone. Brian gave regular updates via text. His communication was excellent. It was wonderful to be able to walk back into our home that was left in an immaculate state and with happy pets.

We are so happy we chose Brian to do our first home sit. He was great with communication, polite and great to deal with. He took care of our two dogs and we loved getting the selfies of them! Outstanding service and would love to invite Brian back when we holiday again.

Brian is a lovely gentleman & he allowed us to experience a wonderful overseas trip with peace of mind. Brian went above & beyond caring for our home & property. Our animals were all very well cared for & communication was excellent.
 
LEANNE (Avonsleigh VIC, Aug 2024 - 3 weeks)
Brian was great. He looked after our house and cat for 3.5 weeks. He provided regular (but not too frequent) updates and photos to us so we knew what was going on. He helped with some driveway remediation after some big rain storms. Brian left our home clean and stocked with firewood for when we got home -- thanks Brian!
 
SARAH (Selby VIC, Jul 2024 - 4 weeks)
Brian did a fantastic job taking care of our home and dogs. He was responsible, trust worthy and our dogs loved him (especially the long walks). We came back to a very clean house and happy dogs. Highly recommend

Brian was fantastic. I could go away knowing that the house and pets would be in good hands. He kept me up to date with everything communicating on how the pets were going. He even went above and beyond by fixing up some tree guards for me in the horse paddock, cleaning the pool, walking the dog every day (even when it was raining) etc. The house was left immaculate on my return. I would highly recommend Brian as a house sitter and would gladly have him back next time I go away.

Brian did an outstanding job taking care of our home and our cats, going the extra mile to make sure our pets were comfortable and our home was cared for. We came home to happy cats and a clean and tidy home. I highly recommend Brian for any future house sitting.
 
JENNY (Peregian Springs QLD, May 2024 - 4 weeks)
Brian was a really great and responsible house sitter with a kind warm hearted nature successfully looking after Oscar our Jack Russel and the ducks and chickens , Oscar really appreciated the long walks particularly. Brian proved to be very accommodating as our plans changed and he adapted to the changed circumstances seamlessly Would definitely recommend him to other hosts looking for a reliable house sitter

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
