Experienced & Retired!

Sixties, Retired

Hi! We're Annette & Terry, fit and healthy in our early sixties, both retired and non-smokers.

We live in Tasmania and love the opportunity to travel anywhere, so please get in touch if you require home/pet sitting duties. If we're available we can definitely help you out! We also have our own motor-home so can be quite flexible with dates.

We have travelled extensively, living and working in the middle east and the UK. Terry was an aircraft engineer and Annette has worked in a variety of roles, from teaching members of the royal family riding lessons to working in the Australian Embassy.

We've owned horses, cows, dogs and cats in the past, but now being retired our ''itchy feet'' keep us away from home too often to enjoy the responsibilities of owning our own pets. We do however, often take advantage of house/pet sitting my sister's beloved and beautiful Labrador, Lucy and their several chickens. We've completed many house/pet sitting duties over the years in a variety of countries and happy to pass on references from other home sitting platforms.

We both love playing golf and gardening, our own garden is a testament to that and so happy to care for your garden if needed. We've also been 'Super Hosts' on Airbnb, we successfully managed our own holiday apartment in Launceston prior to 2020.

We look forward to hearing from you!

ANDREW (Mount Crosby QLD, Sep 2024 - 6 nights)
Wonderful housesitters who took great care of our home and pets. The house looked far tidier when we got home than when we left. The dogs loved having Terry and Annette as playmates and have been sulking ever since they left. They kept us up to date whilst we were away. We cannot speak highly enough of them. Thanks both x

Annette & Terry are a lovely obliging couple who communicated with us from start to finish and met with us on site. They provided updates and pictures of the dogs along with general happenings. The house, dogs and property were left in perfect order. We would not hesitate to recommend them for any sit, it was a pleasure dealing with them.

Annette & Terry looked after our home and pets exceptionally well, our Luna (cavoodle) was very spoilt with 2 long walks a day and our home was spotless when we returned from our 10days away. Terry even cleaned out our heater! Thanks so much to you both, I hope you enjoyed your stay despite the cold and wet weather you had!

Annette and Terry are the best house and pet sitters. My cat was loved and cared for and my home was left immaculately clean and tidy. Even clean sheets on the bed, and the old ones washed 👏🏼 I highly recommend Annette and Terry.

Thankyou Annette & Terry for taking such good care of Digger. The house was immaculate & all the washing done, so great to come home and everything is done. Annette & Terry kept us up to date whilst we were away so great peace of mind. I don't think Digger noticed we had gone 😆, I would not hesitate in inviting them to house sit again. Thankyou 🙂

We had complete confidence leaving our pets and house with Annette and Terry. They looked after everything beautifully, communicated with us brilliantly and were extremely helpful with a range of pet and maintenance issues. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Annette and Terry are very easy to get on with and from the moment they responded to our advertisement we knew we had found the perfect sitters. Our border collie Coel didn’t give us a second glance when we left for our trip and that says it all really. We returned to a happy dog and an immaculate house. We would highly recommend Annette and Terry for your next house sitter.
 
NEIL (Loira TAS, Dec 2023 - 5 nights)
What a relief to come home to a well-looked-after fur baby and a neat and tidy house. Annette & Terry went out of their way to make sure Connor wouldn't be too stressed while we were away by coming over several times before we left so he was used to them. They communicated with us a few times while we were away to let us know how everything was going. We went away with great confidence that all would be cared for while we were gone and we were not wrong. We would highly recommend Annette & ... MORE
 
ANNE (Hillwood TAS, Feb 2023 - 3 weeks)
Annette and Terry were fabulous housesitters. They were extremely thorough, communicated well and our pets were happy and well looked after. They were able to troubleshoot and solve some problems with our pool and left our house extremely clean and tidy. We would definitely highly recommend Annette and Terry as housesitters.
