Caring Couple - Sally & Matt

Matthew: 60, retired mechanical fitter

Sally: 59, retired personal assistant

We have both recently retired and have more time to travel.
We do still have little jobs in our home town to contribute to the community. I volunteer weekly at a place called Lazarus which cares for homeless and socially isolated clients providing meals, hygiene and washing facilities. I also volunteer weekly in the Day Surgery at our local hospital.
Matt is a casual hospital orderly. These little jobs keep us busy when we are at home.
We love to travel and keen to see more of Australia.
Our son currently lives in Coogee and we are keen to spend more time in NSW, close enough that we can visit him around his work commitments.
Our daughter was a veterinary nurse and our home has been filled with many animals, both owned and fostered. She has purchased her own home, and the animals have moved out too. We miss having animals in our home and would be keen to look after yours.
We have also been involved in fostering 2 puppies through Border Force. Both dogs stayed with us for about 12-14 months and both successfully graduated, one working for customs at Tullamarine Airport and the other worked in the prison system in Western Australia.
Another regular visitor to our home has been my Father's greyhound, Star, when my Dad was unwell or in hospital

Dream house-sitters & dog-minders! Sally and Matt were our first sitters via this site and we couldn't have wished for a better experience. The level of care and attention they provided was outstanding, and they are friendly, easy to communicate with and very reliable. We received regular pics and updates about our dog and when we returned, our home was in better shape than we left.

Matthew and Sally are delightful, thoughtful people who have treated our home and pets as if they were their own. They kept in contact with us and sent some happy snaps of the animals. We arrived back to discover a sparkling clean home and 2 peaceful and happy animals. (Rotti and Cat) We are very lucky to have had them sit for us and would have them back in a heartbeat! and the biggest surprise of all, Sally went out of her way and cooked a wonderful meal for us, ready for us to reheat when ...

Matthew and Sally were absolutely fantastic house sitters. They were extremely reliable and communicated well right from our first contact. They left our house extremely clean and tidy. They cared for our pups as if they were their own, taking them in lots of long walks and sending us pictures of their adventures. I would absolutely recommend Matthew and Sally to any looking for house and pet sitters. A lovely couple! 😊
