Barmah John & Christina

80, Retired EcoTour Guide

64, Reception on Paddle Boats

John has retired from Eco Tour Guiding on the Murray River at Barmah and Cobram in 2022. Interests are taking photos of Nature and Landscape with a bent towards birds. A bit of fishing thrown in is very good.

Christina is still working at the Cape Horn Vinyard and wine bar overlooking the Murray River. Her background growing up, was living on farms.

We both have been part of Barmah's Volunteer Fire Brigade (CFA) for over twenty years. In that time, we have held many positions with Christina being the first female captain for the brigade. She performed in this position for six years.

Nonsmokers

We travel a fair bit and try to target places that have nearby Nature Reserves, National Parks and Wetlands. Chasing sunsets is a habit of ours too. Op Shopping is always on the agenda in nearby towns.

If you send me a PM through this system, happy to send you a couple of Facebook pages showing Pics we have taken over the years and a personal one showing who we are and where we go.

More than happy to have a chat on the phone.

We don't own a caravan. and our normal sitting duration is 4 to 10 days.

Apart from the first photo on this profile, the balance is some of the critters we have encountered while house sitting.

We had the pleasure of having John and Christina house-sit for us, and we couldn't be more impressed with their care and attention. Over the 5 nights they stayed, they took exceptional care of our 5 chickens, veggie gardens, and indoor plants. Their commitment to leaving our home as they found it was evident, as they even went the extra mile by stripping their bed and preparing the linens for washing. Their communication was excellent throughout! Even when one of our chooks had their first ... MORE

We were devastated that John and Christina couldn’t do our sit. We developed COVID for the first time ever and had to cancel at the very last minute. They still came to our town and kept in contact. Sadly I couldn’t even meet with them as hubby was in hospital the whole time. Thank you so much for being so understanding and we hope to have you back another time

It was a pleasure to have John and Chris look after our two dogs while we were away for the weekend. Their communication was great, and I had no doubt the dogs were in safe hands. Thank you John and Chris for your care of the dogs, and for leaving the house so clean and tidy.

thanks very much John & Christina for looking after our puss-cat Teeza and little Molly-dog John and Christina were extremely obliging in changing their own plans and agreeing to come early following the airline debacle with Bonza's downfall and us having to rebook tickets which affected our departure and return times they were happy to coordinate with a neighbour to make sure the pets were cared for before our return Thank you so much

John and his partner were wonderful. They looked after our place and left it in an immaculate condition. Our dog, Lennon was so well looked after and given so much attention. It was lovely to come home to a very happy dog. Communication with John was fantastic. We would highly recommend this couple to look after your place and your pets. We would happily have them sit again for us.

We met John and Chris on day of departure and immediately felt comfortable with their warm and friendly nature. Both John and Chris bonded immediately with our beloved fur baby, and we felt comfortable leaving her and our home in their care. We were able to enjoy a stress-free holiday knowing that both our home and Roxy were well cared for. Upon our return we found both Roxy and our home as we had left it. Extremely happy and thoroughly recommend John and Chris.
 
BARRY (Nelson VIC, Aug 2023 - 1 week)
John & Christina house sit for us for 5 days and looked after our two beloved dogs. They are clearly very experienced house sitters. Communication was excellent from the start. They arrived on time and asked all the right questions. We were bit anxious, as we this was our fist time using house sitter, but they filled us with confidence within minutes. They left the house spotless with two very happy dogs. John even cleared out a small tree that fell in the garden for us. Cannot thank them ... MORE
 
SALIH & SARAH (Cockatoo VIC, Jul 2023 - 5 days)
John and Christina were very kind and accommodating from the very start. They communicated with us very well about what dates they could house sit for, which helped me to book our stay away. They were both very friendly and outgoing when we met them on the day we left and were obviously very experienced housesitters. By the time I'd shown John our tiny farm and Barbara had spent time with Christina, we were both very comfortable with leaving the animals in thier hands. I rang John about 3 ... MORE
 
GABY (Buxton VIC, May 2023 - 9 days)
John and Christina looked after our home on a working farm in South Gippsland in February for 6 days. They were going to also look after our 3 dogs but at the last minute we ended up taking the dogs with us so that wasnt required. However John and Christina looked after the house beautifully and we came home to a neat, clean and tidy house. They were very pleasant to deal with and their communication was outstanding. They were reliable and responsive. I would definitely recommend them to ... MORE

We had the pleasure of having John and Christina house sit for us just before Christmas and we could don't be happier. We came back to happy healthy pets and the house was lovely and clean. Communication was perfect and no issues at all. I would be happy to have them back to house sit in the future. Thanks again John and Christina. Alison
 
ALISON (Lal Lal VIC, Dec 2022 - 5 days)
John & Christina were very easy to communicate with at all times and our Ziggy dog was obviously well cared for during our absence. We returned to a very clean and tidy house. We would not hesitate to recommend John & Christina to house sit and would be pleased to have them back.
 
LISA (Myrtleford VIC, Nov 2022 - 3 days)
Cannot rate John and Christina enough. Communication was great and they were both easy going and were interested in knowing everything they needed to know about our girls. Just returned home to find a beautifully clean home and the girls were happy and well fed. :-) They clearly spoilt our girls while we were away. Thank you so much for looking after our home and girls. Would have you back anytime and would highly recommend this couple for any future house sits.

We had an excellent handover when they arrived so we felt confident in leaving our dog and house in their care. On our return, we found everything in great order. We'd be happy to recommend John and Christina.
