Hi. Ann-Maree and I have just downsized to a smaller acreage. We know how difficult it can be to get away, and have experience and can handle cattle, sheep, horses,and other farm animals. Working dogs and house pets are no problem, and we are familiar with water systems and fencing maintenance (normal and electric). We have also run a horse agistment business (rider retired) and a 40 hive apiary as well as building three houses for ourselves, and four sheds, if you have any maintenance or repair work needed, that can be considered as well. Experienced with tractors, quad bikes, ag bikes, ride-on mowers. Licensed to drive HR truck, motorcycle and boat.
We are still actively involved in rowing and cycling and love to walk, (Non-smokers of course).
Regards,
Bruce and AnnMaree

No rating Hi Bruce and Ann-Maree! Thank you very much for the endorsement and I would love to thank you as well for your care and attention you showed in your stay at our home. The house was sparkling clean and the yard in better condition than when we left, with Buzz and the chickens chilled out (as chilled as hens can get). I look forward to having you as house sitters again if you would consider it! Best wishes and thanks again.

Great communication and photos of my pet and updates whilst I was away. My home was looked after and I had peace of mind to enjoy my trip away. I was nervous first time using the website but definitely have more confidence now for the future with a very positive experience
 
KIRBY (Valla NSW, Jun 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
How very lucky we were to have Bruce and AnnMaree house sit for us! They looked after our home like it was their own and our pets didn't want to see them go! We received nearly daily text messages from them with updates on how everyone was going. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a house sitter.
 
AMY (Twelve Mile NSW, Mar 2024 - 2 weeks)
I have never had strangers take care of our home so I was nervous about the process, but right from the very beginning Bruce communicated with us on a regular basis even before they arrived at our home which helped me feel at ease. Bruce and AnnMaree were wonderful in taking care of our pets and our home. While we were away they communicated with us frequently which helped me feel comfortable that the pets were well taken care off. Our dogs in particular were looking for Bruce and AnnMaree ... MORE
 
FRANCES (Gulmarrad NSW, Mar 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
Bruce and AnnMaree were excellent house-sitters and we returned to an immaculate home and (just as important!) a happy and healthy Phoebe. We would be very happy to invite them again for a future visit.
 
JIM (Mosman NSW, Sep 2023 - 1 week 3 nights)
Bruce and AnnMaree are just so lovely and kind! They've looked after our home and dog Kali so well. We came back from our holidays to a spotless house and a very happy dog. I suspect Kali was actually quite sad they were gone! The communication was great before and during the house sitting period, with regular update of what Kali was up to. I highly recommend them and would love to have them come back for another sitting!
 
FANNY (Katoomba NSW, Aug 2023 - 1 week 3 nights)
Thanks, Fanny, maybe sometime next year, we would love to come back.
This was our first experience using a house sitter. Bruce and AnnMaree made us feel confident straight away. They are a lovely friendly couple, and they took such great care of our horses and chickens. Sent us messages and pictures every day. The house was immaculate when we returned.! Highly recommend them.
 
JUDY (Girralong NSW, Jul 2023 - 6 days)
Bruce and AnnMaree were fantastic. Communication was daily with photos of walks and updates. Our dogs were taken care of like they were their own. The house was left spotless. I would recommend Bruce and AnnMaree to anyone. What a joy to deal with them!
 
JOHN (Greenwich NSW, Jun 2023 - 1 week)
There are not adequate words to describe how happy I am having had Bruce & AnnMaree look after our house & 2 dogs on Norfolk Island. I was a bit nervous as this was the first time I used Aussie House Sitters & flight arrangements left no time for us to meet & greet so they were left to sort through the list of numerous instructions in the 'manual' I left for them. I have to say they were absolutely awesome!! Bruce contacted me regularly by email with photos updating how the dogs were fairing ... MORE
 
MELANIE (Norfolk Island NSW, Mar 2023 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Thank you Melanie, we had the most perfect holiday in a perfect place and beautiful home. Melanie and Dave’s home has plenty of space magnificent views, plus a pool table! Dougie and Leroy, the Jack Russell’s are members of their family, so friendly from the start, fun to play with; they have no ... MORE
Extraordinary! Bruce and Ann Maree are kind, generous people who went above and beyond to care for our animals and garden in a meticulous manner. They helped with every aspect of daily life and we couldn't have asked for more. Everything was immaculate on our return. Highly recommend!
 
MELANIE (Orange NSW, Oct 2022 - One week)
Bruce and Annmaree are the best. The best house sitters ever, I'm sure the dogs wanted to go home with them. Horses happy, garden thrived, house lovely and clean and the lizard was fat.
 
SUE (Coonabarabran NSW, Aug 2022 - 3 weeks)
Bruce and AnnMaree were exceptional Farmsitters. They took great pride in our property and looked after animals, gardens , feeding calves, as though it was their own. They are truly delightful and we have booked them for a further three times. We couldn't ask for better people. We felt relaxed and had a great break away knowing that everything was so well cared for . Can't wait to have you back again.
 
JANNIENE (Dorrigo NSW, Aug 2020 - 5 days)
Bruce and AnnMaree were absolutely fantastic housesitters. Our home, animals & garden were well loved and cared for whilst we were away. We received regular updates & photos from home which was much appreciated. As this was the first time we had used Aussie House Sitters we were a little anxious but as soon as we met Bruce & AnnMaree we instantly relaxed knowing that we would be able to enjoy our much needed break away from the farm. We came home to a lovely clean house, well maintained ... MORE
 
WENDY AND NEVILLE (Condobolin NSW, Jul 2019 - 1 week 4 days)
Bruce and Anne Marie stayed at our home for almost three weeks, it was the longest time that we had spent away from home. They kept in contact via messages to let us know what was happening and even sent photos which was wonderful. It is hard to let strangers move into your space without some concern but we come home to a lovely clean home and very fat and happy animals. Bruce and Anne Marie are a very friendly couple and I would have no hesitation to recommend them to anyone who would like ... MORE
 
SUSAN (Ewingar NSW, May 2019 - 2 weeks 6 days)
Wow! We arrived home after 12 days away to a lovely clean house, tidy garden and very happy pets and farm animals. Bruce and AnnMaree were fabulous - they kept us informed with the occasional photo or text message and were VERY easy to feel completely comfortable with. Highly recommended!
 
KAREN (Kentucky NSW, May 2019 - 1 week 4 days)
No rating Bruce and AnnMaree looked after our rural property for 2 weeks and did a fantastic job. They are both really lovely people and we came home to a very clean and well looked after house! Our 3 dogs, chooks and cattle were also very well looked after. They definitely went above and beyond, doing repairs and jobs around the house that we haven't had time to get to - which we really appreciate. I would recommend Bruce and AnnMaree to anybody looking for friendly and capable house sitters :)
LEAH (Pallamallawa NSW, Feb 2018 - 2 weeks 1 day)
No rating We cannot praise Bruce and AnnMaree enough for being wonderful house sitters and carers of our place. Our place is a country property and off grid, so this requires someone with the right background. When we returned home it was as if our place had had no one in it, exactly as we left it. And our pups seemed just the same as when we left. This is not always the case from past experience. We can't leave our home and entrust the care of our beloved border collies to just anyone. Our house, ... MORE

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
