We are retired and have travelled this beautiful country in our 4WD motor home for almost 10 years,
We love our nomadic lifestyle.
We are non-smokers, love animals, and are happy to do some light work and general maintenance.
Neil was in the police force for over 20 years, then worked in the IT industry.
Di always worked in administration/customer service, and for the last 8 years of her working career she was employed by Barwon Health, Geelong.
We pride ourselves on ensuring home owners have a relaxed, and stress free break while we are looking after their homes and pets.

Di and Neil were excellent house sitters and we were exceptionally comfortable with the care they provided for our home and our dog Emma. Great communication and thoughtful extras - thanks Di and Neil... Highly recommended.
Two of the most genuine, down to earth people I have met. They lovingly cared for our home and chooks as if they were their own. Felt quite secure in the knowledge that we had chosen the correct people to look after our home the moment we met them. Would definitely recommend them to anyone and would definitely engage them again.
Di and Neil were fabulous house sitters and can highly recommend them. Our cat was very spoiled and extremely well looked after. Communication was excellent and very responsive. Nothing was ever an issue.
Our lawns had been freshly mown prior to our arrival home.
As first timers with a housesitter we were quite nervous but we were so lucky to find Di and Neil who were fantastic housesitters! Di sent through pictures of Coco along the way which was amazing! The house was beautiful and clean when we arrived back home aswell. Thankyou so so much Di and Neil!! xx
Di and Neil were incredible house sitters. Upon meeting them, we instantly knew our home and hounds were in very good hands. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable and were not phased by any of our requests looking after 3 dogs, including administering medications for an anxious dog. Di and Neil are a friendly duo who made us feel 100% comfortable going on holidays without worrying about out much-loved dogs. Whilst we were away, they kept in regular contact and sent us photos/updates ... MORE
Di and Neil would be most welcome to house sit for us again! We returned home to happy cats, a clean house and mowed green lawns (despite our auto reticulation failing while we were away). Many thanks ,Di and Neil.
Neil and Di looked after our place beautifully. Everything about the house and garden was spotless and our dog even had a sad mopey few days after they left! We have absolutely no reservations about highly recommending them to anyone needing housesitting. Thank you very much Neil and Di.
Thank you Di & Neil for house/pet sitting for us, and especially thank you for the lovely gift you left us on your return.
Best wishes to you both xx
Our experience with Di and Neil was excellent from start to finish.
There was clear communication from the beginning. We were asked to complete a questionnaire which helped them to understand us and our requirements and also for us to understand their approach to the house sit. It was obvious from the outset that they loved pets and would take care of them and our home.
Whilst we were away received regular feedback and photos. When we returned the house was spotless and the pets ... MORE
Well what can one say? Di and Neil went above and beyond regarding all aspects of looking after Rosie, our 10 yo Dalmatian, the house and garden during our 3 month absence. It was tough times with issues such as Covid etc, but Di and Neil just kept their cool and seemed to cruise through it all. Highly recommend them for any house sit - very professional.
Clay and Monika.
Di and Neil were absolute angels caring for our dog, cat and home. They fixed a few repairs that needed to be done over the 3 months that they stayed in our home. Their communication was brilliant. Our house was left clean and tidy and we wouldn't hesitate to have them again in the future. I'm sure our pets miss them already.
Di and Neil were outstanding. Truly wonderful people who took care of our home, but more importantly, our baby girl Staffy. They messaged and sent photos of our girl all the time, nothing was too much trouble including a few vet trips. We had to cut our trip short but they were not phased and were incredibly kind, helpful and took everything in their stride. I can't recommend Di and Neil enough.
Di & Neil were excellent sitters, we would definitely recommend them & have them sit again. They communicated with us & the dogs & cat were very happy on our return home. They left our house in a perfect state it was so lovely to walk in after a long day travelling to find everything neat & tidy.
Di and Neil were fantastic sitters and looked after our dog as if he was their own and we were kept up to date with his crazy antics and photos. Would definitely recommend Di and Neil and would definitely ask them again when we next go away.
Di and Neil were exactly right for our housesit. They are really nice people who were careful of our fragile conservation park environment, cared for our house and garden conscientiously and went well above and beyond when faced with the aftermath of a storm. They were appreciative of what our area offers and flexible in their commitment. We hope they pass our way again.
Di and Neil were delightful, warm and friendly sitters. This was my first experience with leaving Abby (dog), chooks and farm to AussieHouseSitters. I am sad it couldn't be for the planned longer trip to Alice Springs, but my little Victorian holiday was made very easy, thanks to assistance from such lovely people. I came home to a contented dog, clean house, pretty crocheted kitchen towels and several meals worth of curry in the fridge ! They'll be welcome back anytime.
Loved that we felt like old friends when Di and Neil arrived as we had been communicating through text and Facebook leading up to the sit. So felt very comfortable on our first holiday using sitters, leaving our home and dogs in their care. We returned home to a delicious meal, mowed lawn, clean house and cars and two very happy German Shepherds! Wishing you both good health and safe travels!
Di and Neil are fantastic housesitters with great communication. This was my first housesit and i was a little nervous - They took excellent care of my dog, cat, kitten, chooks and fish on our large property and i could enjoy my holiday stress free. They went above and beyond buying my cats a fancy litter tray, stocking the fridge with a few items on my return and even collecting myself and 3 kids from the airport. Thank you so much i would have no hesitation recommending them to anyone xx
Di and Neil are absolutely wonderful house sitters. They left our home very clean and tidy. They are very professional and conscientious and take house sitting seriously. They emailed us with updates on our kitten and made us feel confident leaving our home and pet in their care. They went over and above what we were expecting. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a house sitter. I would love for them to house sit for us again if there is another opportunity in the future.
Di and Neil were perfect for us and our two cats xx
communication was 100%. The fact our cats were so relaxed when we came home made us feel so happy x Our house and car were in A1 condition and the little touches were so appreciated Thank YOU!! We have booked Di and Neil again already for another trip and we know we will always seek them out for future trips away,,,
Very reliable and accomodating, Higly recommended
Di and Neil are the best house sitters we've ever had by far! They left the house immaculate, with floors you could eat off, a sparkling bathroom and a clean fridge. We left my husband's car for them to drive - it was returned clean (a real task, I can tell you) and with fuel in it. We received regular communication and photos of our fur babies. And as well as all that, they are lovely people and we were confident that we could go away and relax! Thanks so much, Di and Neil!!
Certainly recommend Neil and Di.
Would I have them back to house sit again, Definitely...
A beautiful couple!
Di and Neil were fabulous. They looked after our 6 chooks and elderly dog (Molly) for two and a half weeks. Molly had an eye injury prior to the sit and required eye drops and medication. She also had an appointment at the vets which isn't an easy task and requires a ramp into the car for the old girl. They did a great job and Molly's eye is much better, Molly loved their company and has been looking for them since they left.
The house was lovely and clean on our return.
Would love to ... MORE
We couldn't be happier with the sitting services provided by Neil and Di.
Right from the initial meet we felt confident leaving our home and our 3 cats in their hands.
Their communication was excellent. We received emails with updates and photos of the cats.
We came home and the house was immaculate. They had even noted the kind of milk we used and made sure there was some in the fridge for us!
We gave them one of the cars to drive while we were away and when we went to drive it we found it ... MORE
We can highly recommend Di & Niel , our first experience having house sitters, from our first vist with Di & Niel we felt relaxed to leave our 2 fur babies Charlie and Riely and our home in there trust, we received regular updates and photos off our boys and could tell they were getting lots off love and attention, we arrived back to 2 happy and relaxed fur babies,a clean house , sparking pool,clean car, bread, fruit ,milk and a lovely gift thank you both so much ,please come back soon X
Hi Di and Neil. Thank you for looking after our place while we were away for two weeks. We were very thrilled to see you liked our cheeky Bobby who has attacked both Kerry and I since we have been home latched unto our feet....We were very very happy with everything lawns mowed,roses pruned and the verandah wonderfully cleaned of all of Percys mess,house in a better state than I had left it. I know you are very booked out for most of next year but if a cancellation arises around May/June we ... MORE
Di and Neil..I thought I had done this just after you left. Thank you for the amazing job you did. I would highly recommend you to any one looking for a conscientious house sitter. We found ourselves in a difficult situation, Di and Neil stepped up to the mark with out ant question or hesitation. Our home was well looked after and our girls (dogs) were very much loved and looked after . thank you so much
Di and Neil are very special people and wonderful dog and house sitters. It was the first time I had left my two spoilt but very different dogs, for any length of time. I really don't think they missed me thanks to the care that Di and Neil took of them. I came home to mowed lawns, pot plants thriving, spotless house and even a lovely orchid gift. But most importantly two totally happy dogs and neighbours whose comment was "Gees they are lovely people, you can go away anytime."
So my dogs and ... MORE
I can highly recommend Di and Neil to house sit and also look after your animals. My boys (2 tabby cats) warmed to them very quickly and I also received texts and photos regularly with updates. This was like having friends take care of your home and pets. I will definitely keep them on speed dial for my next holiday. Thanks Guys !!!!
If House Sitting was a profession Di and Neil would be at the top of their game. They were amazing - we were never concerned about anything while we were away. They kept in touch with us even sending photos of our "fur babies" which was just lovely. We were away just over 5 weeks and during this time we had a change over of internet service providers also both of our cars had unexpected issues and Di and Neil dealt with all of this without fuss. Nothing was too much trouble. When we ... MORE
Di & Neil minded our house and pets for a week while our young family of 5 went up the coast last week.
From the moment they accepted our request to take on the house sit, the communication was excellent, they kept in contact up until the date, asked us lots of questions about what we were hoping to expect from their time here, and were open to any questions we had too.
It was the first time we'd had anyone mind our house and we felt reassured from the start that we had made the right ... MORE
Di and Neil have recently sat our hobby farm.
Over a 5 week period they undertook the complex care of breeding ducks, geese and guinea pigs, the latter requiring regular attention, and all requiring organised 'mucking out'.
I cannot speak more highly of the quality of their attention and care for our creatures, their cages and various patterns of existence and feeding.
They also had to take onboard the weight of losses from natural attrition and I feel gratitude for their assuming the ... MORE
Neil & Di house sat for us from 29 July 2015 to 15 September 2015 during our time in Boston, USA. They proved to be exemplary sitters in every way. We could not fault them. Their attention to our cat was wonderful. Lily happily adjusted to their company & thrived throughout their stay. They were assiduous in maintaining our home & grounds. They handled a couple of maintenance issues satisfactorily, having cleared the engagement of tradesmen with us beforehand. They were in regular email ... MORE
