Animal-loving-couple

26, Vet Equine Groom

24, Motel Manager

Hi there!

We are both huge animal lovers, very responsible and experienced house sitters (references available if needed - or check our reviews).

Louise was brought up with dogs, worked with both horses and donkeys as a groom and volunteer, and worked with the Donkey Sanctuary, Devon, rehabilitating donkeys at the vet department before moving out here. Experience with elderly/sick animals and administering medication. Also, house sat in France, looking after ducks; chickens; sheep, and peacocks, and watering an enormous and well-loved garden.

Shannon lived with and cared for dogs; cats; horses; pigs; goats; reptiles; cows; ducks; and chickens - grew up on a working farm for 20+ years experiencing all stages of life for animals (including many births). Has an affinity for dogs, cows and horses, and making animals feel right at home and cared for. She has a knack for bringing around even the shyest of animals.

We're both very patient, caring, and hugely animal-centric (we will give your animals loads of cuddles and treat them as our own because we miss our babies at home!).

We also both love the outdoors. Currently own a slide-on camper we are touring in, but would like some occasional restbite in a home. Camper is 3 meters tall (when mounted onto the ute), and 6m long (standard ute length).

We are dedicated to leaving house sits in a clean manner, how you would like to find your home after your holidays, and we expect the same when we move in. We are both relief Motel Managers by trade, travelling the country, so a welcoming accommodation is our fortee.

Any questions, please fire away :) We are always traveling so send a message to find out where we are/going!

Louise and Shannon's honesty integrity and the way they helped with Chisel and Gypsy (Fur babies) and with with the house was just outstanding. Great communication followed by clear validation of instructions. Easy-going clean respectful houses sitters can't wait until you come back up this way guys. Highly recommend Louise and Shannon's care for your home five stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Louise and Shannon looked after our two dogs for a week. They were absolutely fantastic; from the first conversation to the last. Our gas ran out and we had no reception and they dealt with it with understanding and no drama. They went on toad patrol each night as requested and were best companions to the dogs. The house was spotless on return and we are very, very grateful to have had such wonderful pet sitters. We highly recommend Louise and Shannon.

Louise and Shannon were incredible. Great communicators, came to the house and did a handover the day before the sit started, read through the house manual and had questions ready for clarifications. They had a complication during the sit with a massive storm taking out power and shorting out the air conditioner. Louise was straight into trouble shooting with the fuse boxes and researching the unit and how it might be fixed. We ended up needing an electrician but really appreciated the manner ... MORE
 
EMILY (Jones Hill QLD, Dec 2023 - 1 week 5 nights)
Louise and Shannon communicated really well and felt very comfortable with them looking after my two dogs Throughout their stay we communicated a couple of times and they offered to stay if my flight was delayed due to a cyclone warning, which is so so lovely! The house was left as clean as I left it which was so nice to come home to. One of plants I wanted watered has died unfortunately. But most importantly the dogs were very well cared for and I would highly recommend Louise and Shannon

Great communication. Everything was clean when I came home. My cat was very well looked after and happy. Louise and Shannon sent regular photo updates. Highly recommend and would have them again. :)
