Let us look after your home like our own, with our absolute guarantee you'll find it in the same condition as you left it to us, or even better. Keeping your place clean and tidy is such an important part of house sitting for us, with the garden, indoors & everything in between taken care of.

We too are home owners, with several investment properties, so we understand the courage it takes to ask others to care for your most valuable assets and we thank you for trusting us to love your place as much as you do. We consider it to be such a privilege to live in your home!

Same with your pets....we promise to treasure them like our own - be they furred-feathered-finned-or farmstyle babies, with plenty of smooches, walks, treats and couch-cuddle time (if they're allowed on the furniture that is!) and we will send updates on their foster-life with us via videos, photos or facetime. We will happily send as many or as little snippets of their adventures with us as you wish - everyone has a different need when it comes to how much contact they’d like.

We've been part of Aussie Housesitters for 9 years and in that time we have regularly been asked to re-sit for homeowners, which we love to do if the dates and locations match our travels - especially hanging out with our favourite foster-pets again!

We travel and live in our Motorhome when we are not at work (we are desert-bound for work March- Sept annually) which leaves us lucky to explore and house sit anywhere in Australia from Oct-mid March every year. We have no preferred locations, but if travelling quite a way from central Australia would definitely prefer a longer-term sit.

We can comfortably reside in our Motorhome whilst at your place, especially if there's no indoor pets to look after and you simply need a 'presence' around to keep your most valuable possessions safe. All we'd need is access to loo/laundry/power and water. Oh, and a fairly flat 7metre place to park it! For much longer sits it would be preferable to move indoors.

Our two fur-kids Hamish (3) & Duggie (2) travel with us (check out their picture on our profile) both are cruisy little fellas who share our incessant need to explore new places, so we hope you'll be able to welcome them to your place too. They are 100% containable in our Motorhome so they won't disrupt your own fur-kids while at your place. They are both fully leash-trained so will not be a threat to wildlife and are under control at all times when outdoors. They'd just like to be able to take a leashed wander through your gardens, sniff the trees and explore your yard a few times a day.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch in advance if you know you'll be going away, and we can get back to you almost immediately to let you know if we can get to your location in the time-frame you need. We'll happily answer any questions you have, provide police checks if required and can provide direct contact details of previous home owners if you'd like to get in-person character references.

Thanks for checking out our profile and we look forward to hearing from you soon - J, T, H & D

It is with the utmost pleasure that we provide an endorsement in relation to Jeff and Tab, who looked after our home, acreage garden and two donkeys from February 2016 to the end of October 2016. In short, we cannot recommend them highly enough for any house sitting engagement!!! From their very first contact with us, we were extremely impressed by their excellent communication and openness and after checking in with referees re previous house sitting engagements they had undertaken, we ...

CAROLYN (Stanthorpe QLD, Feb 2016 - 9 months)
Jeff and Tab are everything you could want in a sitter. They went above and beyond what was asked of them. They are good communicators, have great experience in many areas and have a sense of humour. The house was beautiful and clean on return. The large garden was extremely well looked after and looked splendid on our return despite the very hot weather it incurred in our absence. The skill set of both Tab & Jeff was appreciated with some equipment breakdowns fixed. Tab & Jeff are really ... MORE
 
DEBBIE (ULEYBURY SA, Nov 2023 - 4 months 1 week)
It is with great pleasure we endorse Phil & Deb and their lovely home for future sitters! Their location is green & serene, you’ll hear birdsong, cows & sheep, plus spot wildlife such as roos, koalas and possums, yet conveniently less than an hour to the city. Their easy-care house is beautifully ... MORE
Jeff and Tab were great house, pet and garden sitters. We came home to a house that was sparkling clean and without a trace that they'd even been here. Our furbaby was happy and well looked after. They even watered the garden which we really appreciated. Communication was great and they sent us lots of updates and photos of our cat (Tupac) which we loved! We would have them back anytime and highly recommend them.
 
ALLISON (Devonport TAS, Jan 2023 - 1 week)
Jeff and Tabitha did a fine job looking after my house for a few days. The house and garden were clean and tidy and the cats well taken care of. I would recommend.
 
JENNIFER (Launceston TAS, Dec 2022 - 5 days)
Jeff and Tab were wonderful house sitters with just the right amount of communication, not too much, just enough. The house was lovely and clean and the yard had obviously been swept. Our cat Jazz is very shy but she took to Jeff and Tab easily. The best part though was coming home to a roast dinner all plated up and ready with gravy on the side. I'm not sure who cooked but it was a mean roast dinner guys and amazing gravy. Thank you so much. I saw some of our rosemary in there so glad you made ... MORE
 
DEBBIE (Stirling WA, Nov 2019 - 16 days)
Jeff and tab are amazing house and pet sitters . They stayed at our place for 4 weeks in October 2019, they looked after our dog so well . Great in communication too, regularly sent me pictures of my dog. Our house was in immaculate condition when we came back. Garden was looking very beautiful too. I enjoyed my 4 weeks holiday stress free only because of you guys. They were very respectful of my religious values also. Thanks a a lot once again " Jeff and tab " I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM
 
JAY (Atwell WA, Oct 2019 - 4 weeks)
Geoff and Tabitha are a gorgeous couple who took great pride in the care-taking of our property , and loved and cared for our cat Polly and our many chickens. It was such a pleasure to return home and find the house immaculate, the lawns mowed, firewood chopped and flowers on the table. You couldn't have asked for more. It was so much appreciated. If you ever need first class housesitters I would highly recommend Geoff and Tabitha.
 
SALLY (William Bay WA, Sep 2019 - 3 weeks)
We knew Tab & Jeff we're going to be great sitters for our home and cat from the moment we started communicating online. And when we met they were very attentive to our needs and showed their experience. Thank you for making us feel so secure in leaving our house and cat to you, and for the lovely flowers, note and clean house upon return. Definitely hope to have you sit again.
 
TAMARA & MITCH (Boya WA, Sep 2019 - 5 days)
Jeff & Tab were wonderful! We can't recommend them enough. Our doggo was happy and calm when we got home, our house was super clean, a candle burning and a homemade dinner was in the fridge for us! Jeff kindly picked us up at the airport and they had even washed and folded the last of our washing for us. Great house sitters and lovely people. We'll definitely keep in touch with these guys and would have them anytime they're over our way.
 
GABRIELLE & COLIN (Hamilton Hill WA, Aug 2019 - 4 weeks)
We are so lucky we came across Jeff & Tab! They took care of our Golden Retriever with the upmost care, took him for long walks, many pats and bones! Beautiful photos and videos were sent during our trip; something we looked forward to!! They left the house in better condition than we left it to them in & it was handy having that fresh milk to return to for the morning coffee! Best sitters ever! :D
 
ANGELA (LEANYER NT, Jul 2019 - 2 weeks)
Jeff and Tab are a beautiful couple who are easy to get on with. They sent us messages while we were away about our home and the fur kids along with pictures. We came home to a very clean home and very happy pets. Whilst away we never worried about our home or the pets, we knew they were in very safe and capable hands. We plan to catch up with them again socially and and would love them to come stay and look after our home and fur babies anytime again. We would highly recommend them when ... MORE
 
SHARON (Stanthorpe QLD, Aug 2018 - 1 month 1 week)
No rating From our first contact with Jeff and Tab, we were thrilled to have them watching our home and dogs for a month while we were overseas. They made the effort to come out and visit TWICE in the time leading up to our holiday, and took special care to know our routine and the details of daily life for our dogs to make the transition as easy as possible. From the first meeting, our dogs loved them. They emailed us regularly with update photos and videos of our dogs, and it was easy to see that ... MORE
MARYANNE (Stanthorpe QLD, Jul 2018 - 4 weeks)
Jeff and Tab were wonderful house (and dog) sitters! We would highly recommend Tab and Jeff! Our dogs Charlie and Zoey were so well looked after and we really appreciated the photos and text updates we received regularly. The dogs were sad to see them go! Meeting Tab and Jeff before our trip was great and put us at ease (as this was our first experience using a house sitter). They are so lovely and chatty and were so eager to look after the dogs and give them lots of attention and cuddles ... MORE
 
SHARON AND LIAM (East Mackay QLD, Sep 2017 - 3 days)
Jeff and Tab are two lovely human beings who are a pleasure to know. They helped me out whilst I was recovering from an operation on my foot by walking my dogs every day so that they wouldn't miss out whilst I wasn't feeling too wonderful and Jeff also mowed the lawn and put out and brought in the bins without being asked. During the Xmas period they housesat so that I could enjoy a much need break with friends. The house was spotless on my return and the dogs were happy - what more could ... MORE
 
JO (Stanthorpe QLD, Dec 2015 - 5 days)
I would highly reccommend Jeff and Tab if you are looking for a house-sitter. Our pet greyhound was so well looked after he wanted to leave with them. They looked after our house so well, and it was a real pleasure to come home to a nice clean and tidy house and garden.
 
DAVE & JO (Medowie NSW, Sep 2015 - 1 week 3 days)
No rating It is a leap of faith to invite two people you don't know to live in your house for a month, and look after all your animals (many cats and dogs). From the moment we met Jeff and Tabitha, we felt it was very right, they both knew what they were getting into in terms of the amount of work it was to maintain our household with the many demands of our ageing population. It was clear from the start that Jeff is a gentle, peaceful person who genuinely loves animals, and we know he took such good ... MORE
WENDY (Teralba, NSW, Sep 2015 - 3 weeks)
Jeff and Tabitha delivered what all people who invite strangers into their home to mind pets or just the house want: peace of mind and a standard of excellence in caring and professionalism. With a fussy cat who doesn't always 'take' to strangers, I was concerned that this exercise wouldn't work, and Jeff and Tabitha would either spend hours trying to get the cat inside at night or the cat would end up fretting. Not sure how they did it, but within 5 minutes of their first visit, Buzz (the ... MORE
