Ale and Marc took amazing care of our home and dog Doom.
Their communication was great throughout the whole four weeks. They gave regular updates of how things were going, as well as photos of Doom.
Ale, Marc and their young kids treated Doom as part of their family. Doom was very happy and relaxed with them.
The house was left clean and tidy and Ale and Marc even made three delicious meals for us!

We’d love to have them sit again any time and can’t recommend them enough as sitters.
Thank you so much Ale and Marc for taking such good care of everything here. We appreciate it so much, and we know Doomy loved her time with you and the kids :)

During our recent overseas trip, Alejandra and Marc, with their two young children, houses at for us for 4 weeks, August to September,2023. They did an excellent job of looking after our quite large house, our dog Myki, a Kelpie x Border Collie, our chickens , extensive gardens and orchard. The regular emails with photos reassured us that all was going well.

We returned to a very clean and tidy house, happy and well cared for animals and well managed property, and even a meal left for us to enjoy. They also carried out extra tasks, not expected, but greatly appreciated. Alejandra and Marc, a very friendly couple, made our first experience of using house sitters a successful and a wonderful experience.
We would definitely recommend and use them again. Warmest thanks.
YRJO AND ARJA (Lakes Entrance VIC, Aug 2023 - 4 weeks)
Wow, how lucky we were to have Ale and Marc and their beautiful family house sit for us! Our dog Benji got the best company and care and we loved receiving updates on him and the fun he was having with them!
We came home to a clean and cared for house and garden and cannot recommend Ale and Marc enough if you require a house sitter.

Alejandra and Marc went above and beyond what I expected. They invited me and friends for dinner, lined the drawers in the kitchen, taught me how to make compost and happily paid for repairs. I warmly recommend them as house sitters.

Ale and Marc were amazing house sitter for a nervous first time house sit. There communication in the lead up to the house sit and during was excellent. They took very good care of our home, left it immaculate, did the gardening and tended to our animals. We came home to vey relaxed dogs, a spic and span home and a beautiful spanish frittata and home made quince paste! Would definitely welcome them back to our home and would highly recommend if you are seeking a house sitter. Thanks Ale and Marc

Alejandra & Marc are absolutely wonderful , from the very start the communication was excellent, sending updates throughout our time away with photos. Our 2 dogs were taken care of and as they are older dogs with a few issues their needs were certainly attended to. The house was tidier than when we left it, washing done, outside swept. absolutely nothing for us to do when we came home, even a lovely meal awaited us which was delicious. We would love for Alejandra & Marc and their gorgeous ...

We would love for Alejandra & Marc and their gorgeous baby boy Larama to visit our home again. Such a nice, caring and considerate couple, anyone wishing to choose them to look after their home & animals (and wildlife) will certainly not be disappointed. They have our heartfelt thanks for every-thing they did for us. Chrissy & Alan

Marc and Ale were our first house sitters! What a lucky find! We had a pre sit meeting and found that we really liked eac other and had lots in common! We left our two dogs Molly the wired Border Collie and Sam the little old gentleman in their care for a month! We also have a large house and garden! During our stay we kept in touch and appreciated updates on our dogs. They were really well cared for and loved in our absence with daily walks and play, on return we received the perfect welcome ...
