Ben took care of our house and two dogs whilst we went away for an overseas holiday. This was our first time being away for a long period of time and Ben made us feel completely at ease. The dogs were in great hands and we were constantly getting updates and photos which made being away easier! He left our house very clean and tidy and we could not recommend him more.
We will definitely be using Ben again for our next trip away.
PATRICK (Rothwell QLD, Nov 2024 - 3 weeks)
Ben came and looked after my little Cocker Spaniel Nika for 2 weeks and left the unit very clean and tidy, he sent messages and photo updates as promised and Nika was very well looked after. I will not hesitate to have Ben back to look after Nika again.

This was Ben’s second housesit for us. As soon as he arrived our Tilly was all over him even to the point she turned her head away from us sulking when we were leaving. She was so funny and only went to Ben. Ben is an excellent housesitter and we would highly recommend. He will be sitting for us two more times next year. Great communicator and plenty of photos and updates whilst away. Tilly loves him and to us that’s really all that matters but he is a great guy as well. You would not be ...

Like all the other reviews, we have nothing but good things to say about Ben who we highly recommend if you require a housesitter. Ours was only a short sit but we found our house and pets exactly as we'd left them. From a communication perspective Ben was perfect both in advance of the sit, and during the days we were away, sending us a daily update and pictures of the pets which was all the reassurance we needed. Not only would we use Ben again, we intend to next year, if he's available.
CHRIS (Noosaville QLD, Oct 2024 - 3 nights)
I couldn’t rate Ben higher.
He looked after the house so well and was spotless when we got back.
He followed my instructions exactly and his communication and reassurance during our holiday was brilliant.
We’d love to use him again.
More importantly Bella (our dog) hopes Ben comes back!
Thanks Ben!!
FRANCESCA (Currimundi QLD, Sep 2024 - 2 weeks 1 night)
Ben had great communication before and during the housesit with regular photos sent. The apartment was well maintained, and Tilly (our dog) was well looked. We have rebooked him for November. Highly recommend.
DELWYNN (Broadbeach QLD, Aug 2024 - 3 weeks - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Ben was great! Did a meet and greet beforehand and our dog felt comfortable straight away. We had daily updates with photos and came home to a very happy fur boy! Place was also very well looked after. Would definitely use Ben again, thanks very much!
SHAE (Cotton Tree QLD, Jun 2024 - 4 nights)
Ben was absolutely great. This was our first time having a house sitter and using this website. Right from the start Ben was really helpful and helped us be at ease with the process. He kept in contact with us throughout our trip and sent us a number of happy photos of our dog and let us know when he was concerned about not finding our bearded dragon (which was mostly hibernating) hence the difficulty in seeing her.

It was so great for us know that our pets were being cared for and thought about. We returned to a spotless house and even my washing was taken off the line and folded - clean sheets ready to be put on the bed. We would have Ben come and look after our house and pets anytime. Thanks so much Ben!
NATALIE (Kiels Mountain QLD, May 2024 - 1 week 5 nights)
Ben was excellent and would 100% recommend his service and we will definitely use him again if he is available. He looked after our extensive number of plants perfectly and our little cavoodle Ollie, like he was his own. Do not hesitate to take on Ben and his service if he is available, he was brilliant.
PAUL (Newstead QLD, Apr 2024 - 2 weeks 3 nights)
Ben was amazing.
This was the first time I have used this service so naturally I was a touch nervous leaving my little doggie Sam with a stranger.
He put my mind at ease and was fantastic! Sam loved him too and even slept in Bens bed with him. Photos were sent everyday with an update on how Sam was going. I will definitely use Ben again.
BEVERLEY-JANE (Caloundra QLD, Mar 2024 - 1 week)
Ben is very experienced in house/pet sitting. His communication was excellent. We loved receiving pictures of our dog who looked very happy and healthy. Her behaviour towards Ben when we returned home, verified our opinion that she was being well looked after. The house etc was clean and tidy and Ben ensured milk was available for that all important tea/coffee after a long flight home. We highly recommend Ben to house/pet sit and will definitely ask him in the future.
WENDY (Newport QLD, Feb 2024 - 2 weeks 6 nights)
I would highly recommend Ben to anyone that requires house sitting / dog sitting in the future . Ben left the house immaculate and had washed the sheets and towels that he used. Duchie was really comfortable staying with Ben and enjoyed their walks and his company, It was great to return home to a happy dog, which is really important to us. and will be definitely using Ben again if his available.😃

Ben communicated well and sent updates and pictures of our dog. He left the house clean and tidy. I would be happy to use Ben again for housesitting.
ROS (Fairlight NSW, Dec 2023 - 1 week 2 nights)
Ben was just perfect for our sit. He quickly established rapport with our 2 oriental cats, and kept us up to date with what was happening at home. He dealt with a minor veterinary drama with one of the cats with ease, and kept our home looking clean and well presented. Thank you, Ben. We have no hesitation in recommending Ben to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.
ERIC & JACQUI (Woy Woy NSW, Nov 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
As a first-time user of this site and having anyone besides family look after our dogs and house, Ben quickly put our minds at ease. From our first meeting and handing over the keys to arriving home and a debrief. Ben was amazing, also keeping us up to date with photos while we were away and the house looked amazing, washing on the line , pets very happy and Molly especially has been wandering in and out of the room he used looking for him.

KAREN (Kingscliff NSW, Sep 2023 - 1 month 3 weeks)
This was our first experience using a petsitter. We got to meet Ben before the sit as he was sitting in our local area. Willow our Staffy liked him immediately so this put us at ease. Ben sent us photos every few days. When we returned, Willow was happy to see us but not bothered at all. Our home smelled beautiful and was lovely and clean. Ben receives 5 star reviews for a reason and happy to recommend him to others. We will book Ben for our next adventure.
TRACEY (Banksia Beach QLD, Aug 2023 - 3 weeks)
Ben did a great job looking after Ringo, our 13 yr old golden retriever. Ringo loved him. He sent us photos and updates while we were away. The house was clean and tidy and would highly recommend Ben.
BARB (Tewantin QLD, Aug 2023 - 7 days)
Thanks a million Ben for house sitting and looking after our Staffie. I highly recommend Ben for any jobs that come available and would have Ben again. Very clean washed all sheets and towels that he used, very happy when we returned 😃👍
TRACY (Banksia Beach QLD, Apr 2023 - 4 days - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Ben was fantastic!! Communication was great, walked our dog everyday, sent photos and updates. House was spotless and even washed the sheets / towels and hung them on the line the day he left and we returned.
Packages were collected and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Thank you so much.
JACKIE (Caloundra West QLD, Apr 2023 - 3 days)
Ben was fantastic! We were so appreciative of his communication and the care he took of our 2 fur babies and our home. We came home to a spotless home and 2 very happy and well looked after pups. Would definitely look to have Ben come and sit for us time and time again. Thanks so much Ben!
KAYLAH (Pacific Pines QLD, Mar 2023 - 1 week 1 day)
Ben sat for us at fairly later notice. His communication was great, both before and during the sit. The dogs were both well looked after and happy. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable house sitter. Thank you!
LYNDALL (Kedron QLD, Feb 2023 - 6 days)
Thanks Ben for taking great care of my home and Tinkerbell. All communication with Ben was easy and responsive. Tink seemed to take to Ben very easily on first meeting, and she looked happy & relaxed upon my return. It was particularly reassuring that she had company the majority of the time with Ben working from home. The occasional pic was much appreciated. My home was returned to me very clean, neat and tidy.

I would happily invite Ben to return for a future house sit (in fact I did, but he was already booked!)
KATE (MOUNT COOLUM QLD, Jan 2023 - 2 weeks 3 days)
Ben was absolutely brilliant. Looked after our dog Coco. She was very happy on our return and was very well cared for. The house was left beautifully clean and tidy and Ben kept in touch to let us know everything was going fine. Can't thank him enough. Highly recommended.
DIANE (Alexandra Hills QLD, Nov 2022 - 4 days)
This was our first instance of using Aussie Housesitters. Ben was a legend and communicated well. this was a very positive experience and we would definitely use Aussie house sitters again. We would happily have Ben caring for our home and animals again
MICHELLE (Coolum Beach QLD, Oct 2022 - 6 days)
Ben was a great housesitter and we'd happily have him sit again. He was easy to communicate with, and sent us updates while we were away. Our dog Buddha was quite sad to see him go, which is probably the best reference there is! Ben also took great care of our house, leaving everything clean and tidy.
BEK (Wynnum QLD, Sep 2022 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Got home to a clean & tidy house and a happy dog. I'm sure Soda was very appreciative of her daily walks and having someone in the house working from home. Ben was easy to communicate with and I'd be pleased to have him care for my dog & home again.
GAIL (Oxenford QLD, Jul 2022 - 2 weeks)
Ben was our first house sitter and was amazing. We felt at ease leaving our house and dogs with him and when we returned everything was perfect and our pups were happy. Ben was easy to touch base with whilst we were away and check in which we really appreciated. We would use Ben again if we have the opportunity.
KATRINA (Sorrento QLD, Jun 2022 - 2 weeks 5 days)
This was our first time using Aussie Housesitters
Ben was very easy to deal with and communicated well and we would happily have him housesit again for us
NELLEY (Bribie Island QLD, May 2022 - 1 week 4 days)
Ben has actually done two sits for us. When he returned for the second sit the dogs gave him a huge welcome- clearly they were happy to see him again. The house was exactly as we had left it both times- quite an accomplishment considering the weather and two very furry dogs. We would be very happy for Ben to sit for us in the future.
PAUL (Noosa Heads QLD, May 2022 - 2 weeks)
We would happily have Ben house sit for us again. Charlie and the house were well looked after and Ben was easy going. We came back to a clean and tidy house with a happy dog.
HELEN (Buderim QLD, May 2022 - 2 weeks 1 day)
It was a joy to have Ben looking after our home and dogs
He kept in touch with pics and information on the dogs and house,and we arrived home to a very clean home and happy dogs.
We will be happy to have Ben house and dog sit whenever he is available.
GREG (Noosaville QLD, Mar 2022 - 2 weeks 2 days)
It was a real comfort to know Ben was looking after our dog in her own home environment. Ben endured several weeks of the worst wet season and attended to any problems as they arose - a comfort when you're not home.
We got a couple of photos of our dog, although a few of the house/flood situation may have been nice too. Our dog seemed happy to be with him.
Great service from Ben. He even picked us up from the airport!!
I would recommend him again.
GAIL (Palmwoods QLD, Feb 2022 - 4 weeks 1 day)
Dealing with Ben was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He was professional, showed up early (yay) and a wonderful house sitter. He took great care of the princely pup and was very patient with the little monster.
The house was left spotless and we came home to a happy pooch:) what more could you ask for. Would happily have Ben to sit for us again if he'd be willing!
DEE (Banksia Beach QLD, Nov 2021 - 5 days)
Ben is a fantastic sitter and we would certainly look to invite him again in the future. His communication was excellent and his manner was such that we knew our large dog and quirky home was in good hands. Highly recommended. Thanks Ben!
DANIEL (Annerley QLD, Sep 2021 - 2 weeks 1 day)
It was a pleasure to meet Ben and have him house/pet sit for us and with his pleasant nature and confident m,anner we felt comfortable with Ben as our sitter.
Ben communicated very well from the start and updated us on a regular basis with photos of our siberian husky Maxy.
Maxy was well cared for and enjoyed his daily walks.
On our return, our home was immaculate and Maxy very happy.
We would be happy to have Ben return to our home in the future.
Thankyou Ben.
PETER AND DIANNE (Elanora QLD, Aug 2021 - 8 days)
This is our first experience using Aussie house sitters and meeting Ben. I will admit that I was very sceptical as we've never had someone stay in our house before.
But, when we met Ben prior to the house sit, we felt very comfortable having Ben in our home whilst we were away on holiday.
Ben was absolutely amazing, kept in contact with us while away and sent photos of the dogs every few days, really put our minds at ease.

JOSHUA (Manly West QLD, Jul 2021 - 7 days)
Thanks Ben, you made it easy for me to be away. I had to make several time and date changes and you were so accommadating that you took the stress away from my time away. Polly was as happy as I have seen her when i got back and seemed to enjoy her time with you.
CATHY (Labrador QLD, Jun 2021 - 5 days)
Ben has been a fantastic sitter. He took great care of our little Cavalier girls and we came home to a clean and tidy house. Throughout the sit, he kept us in the loop with photos and little anecdotes about our doggies. We would definitely recommend Ben and hope to use him again in the future!
VANESSA (Ormiston QLD, Jun 2021 - 4 days)
Ben has just looked after my Maremma sheep dog Rhu, my moggie cat Theo, and my little beachside house for a week. Both Rhu and Theo were very well cared for and healthy and happy on my return.

The house was impeccable on our return, and we would not hesitate to ask Ben again to house sit for us.
FANNY (noosaville QLD, May 2021 - 6 days)
Ben is a great house sitter, he has taken care of our dog Rusty twice & we would love him to be our regular sitter. Russ was very well looked after & excited to see Ben on his return for the second sit. The house was clean & tidy on our return & the laundry done & pegged out on the line, such a lovely touch!
Ben has a very easy going personality & we feel very lucky to have found him, we would definitely recommend him.
KATE (Maroochydore QLD, May 2021 - 11 days)

JUDY (Raby bay cleveland QLD, Apr 2021 - 4 days)
Ben is a very experienced sitter. From the first interaction with him, we felt reassured and safe. Highly professional in his approach, locking in the sit dates immediately and removing any worries for us. A very relaxed and calm guy who did exactly what he said he would do. He was very self sufficient - another sign of his experience and professionalism. We were kept updated with a couple of pictures of Chubbz too!

BEC (Morningside QLD, Nov 2020 - 4 days)
We had Ben house sit for us for 5 days. We had communication daily and updates on our Scooter. We came home to a perfectly clean house and very happy puppy. Would have Ben again in a second!
TAHLIA (Redland Bay QLD, Oct 2020 - 5 days)
Ben was a great house sitter. Communication prior and during house sit was fantastic. Very easy going and reassuring.. Kept me updated with messages and photos during the house sit. Left my house immaculate and my dog was clearly taken care of. very well. Would have no hesitation recommending Ben.
SIMONE (Mountain Creek QLD, Oct 2020 - 3 days)
Ben was a wonderful sitter..he sent photos and cared for my 2 dogs who were happy and settled . The house was clean and tidy on my arrival home and linen and towels washed. I would highly recommend Ben as a sitter!!
SALLY (Reedy Creek QLD, Oct 2020 - 1 week)

In addition to all the things that house-sitters do, I would recommend Ben for his calmness in dealing with issues that can crop up while you are away. We would gladly ask Ben to house-sit for us again.
ANNE & TOM (Karana Downs, Brisbane QLD, Aug 2020 - 1 month 1 week)
Thanks Ben, we really appreciated you accepting such a short sit. House was spotless when we got home, sheets washed and bed remade. Mr T looked like he had a lovely time. I recommend Ben to anyone looking for a sitter. We would not hesitate to use him again. Thanks again Ben.
SANDI (Woodridge QLD, Aug 2020 - 2 days)
We had Ben house sit for us for just over a week, He sent photo of the furbabies to us, House was spotless when we arrived home and the kids very happy and well looked after. Would have Ben house sit for us any time. (Keep in mind Christmas) Again thanks very much.
RAYMOND (Tamborine QLD, Aug 2020 - 1 week 2 days)
Ben was an awesome housesitter and care for our awesome 2 yr old puppy Taco , We could tell that Taco enjoyed her time with Ben and communication with Ben was easw, he let us know if anything was going on and even sent photo updates of Taco which we loved. Ben is a top-class house/dog sitter and we'd definitely get in touch next time we go away!
Thanks Ben!
ERIN (Tugun QLD, Jul 2020 - 5 days)
I thoroughly recommend Ben to look after your house and pet. Our dog Paddy had a great time with Ben, which meant we could relax and enjoy our holiday. We hope to have Ben back when we go away again. So nice to come home to a clean house and happy dog.
JOAN (Wurtulla QLD, Jul 2020 - 8 days)
Ben was the perfect house sitter. My cat Chomps was well looked after. Ben was really friendly, he made a great impression on my 5 year old boy and I was very happy to have him stay. When I came home, the house was perfectly clean (he even cleaned and hung out his sheets).
ERIN (Daisy Hill QLD, Jul 2020 - 4 days)
Ben is a super sitter and if you are lucky enough to get him for the job, expect a guy who completely understands the whole house sitting thing.
Ben is a great communicator, a exceptionally tidy house guest and our little dog was well looked after.
Thanks again Ben! You are welcome back next time we go away.
GRAEME (Tarragindi QLD, Jun 2020 - 1 week)

We were away overseas for 6 weeks.

Thank you again Ben soooo much, your are the best!!!!!
SALLY (Coombabah QLD, Nov 2019 - 1 month 2 weeks)
We were happy with Ben sitting our dogs and minding the house while we were away for 3 weeks in November. We regularly received photos and updates of the dogs and reports when storms came through. We came back to a clean house ,sheets washed and our dogs were happy. I would recommend Ben to house sit and would have him again if he was available .
MICHAEL (Arundel QLD, Nov 2019 - 2 weeks 4 days)
Could not have asked for a better first time pet sitter than Ben. Ben communicated regularly leading up to the house sit and throughout and left our house in a better condition than we left it - it was immaculate! Which is no easy task with a 7 month old puppy. Ben looked after our 7 month old puppy Charlie which we were a little nervous about but with daily photos of walks and trips to the beach he had his own little holiday while we were away!

KAREN (arana hills QLD, Nov 2019 - 4 days)
If we could keep Ben to ourselves we would Not only kind and caring to our Bonny but also to us . Sending comforting photos and words. Coming home became a delight , when we arrived at midnight to gently lighted gates and soft welcoming lights inside and an adorable framed photo of a very happy dog.. The house was immaculate and cared for . Ben has the natural "touch" . We sincerely hope we are fortunate to cross paths again
PAT (Wurtulla QLD, Sep 2019 - 1 month 1 week)
It's always daunting to leave your home and treasured pet in the care of a stranger but we need not have worried. Ben took wonderful care of our home and my little Lulu. We could not get internet much of the time but when we did, Ben would send photos of Lulu at the beach having fun. The house was left neat and tidy and sheets washed. We have no hesitation in recommending Ben as a Housesitter and will definitely ask him to sit again when we next go away. Thank you Ben, from all of us
SUZI (Lennox Head NSW, Aug 2019 - 1 month 3 weeks)
Ben was excellent. He was very caring and attentive to our dog Leo and gave him some great experiences such as weekly trips to the beach and regular outings to the local dog park. As he works from home, he spent a lot of time with Leo and we are sure that Leo is missing him now that things are back to normal! Ben needed to take Leo to the vet while we are away but checked in with us first and kept us updated. He sent regular updates and pictures and videos which we really appreciated.

He was very neat and tidy and the house was immaculately clean when we got back. Ben looked after the watering precisely as requested both indoors and out.
Ben also was dealing with our telecommunications service provider to try and get the NBN installed which was very frustrating and slow but he was persistent and patient.
We are very satisfied with all that Ben did for us and would love to have him back for our next trip away.
KATE (Coorparoo QLD, Jun 2019 - 4 weeks)
Ben did a great job looking after our pets. He happily took Nyssha my dog to the beach for walks and quickly learnt how to cope with her little quirks. He wasn't phased by the cat trying to help him with his computer work. Both pets are now missing him. The house was very tidy and clean when we returned- better than when we left. Ben is very friendly and professional with his house sitting. Would love to have him housesit for us again and thoroughly recommend him
MICHELE (Banora Point NSW, Jun 2019 - 1 week)
Ben was great, we felt very comfortable leaving him with dog&house while we were overseas. Our dog was super comfortable around him from the very beginning and Ben sent us updates / pictures during the stay.
The house was very well looked after too, I thought it might have been a little cleaner on our return than when we left :-)
I'd be happy to have him sit for us again.
WENX (Main Beach QLD, May 2019 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Ben was brilliant with this house sit and care of our dog. From the moment of his arrival at our home to "take the reins', we knew we had the right bloke. Calm, competent and able to easily manage a one acre property, Ben was an answer to our prayers. While away overseas, Ben posted either a photo or short video of the dog, giving us peace of mind. On arrival home, we had a great debrief and were delighted with how Ben left our home. Totally recommend him
ROSS & JAN (Bonogin QLD, Apr 2019 - 4 weeks)
I would highly recommend Ben to anyone that is looking for a house sitter. Ben looked after our pets with amazing care and I feel that they were disappointed when we arrived home and Ben was leaving.
Ben is very easy to communicate with and left our house cleaner than I feel I did before we left.
Thanks Ben you are more than welcome back anytime.

Ben and Sandy are a great couple who took on our challenge to look after our ageing doggies for a three week duration. They were carrying and also looked after our home. Would certainly recommend them both for future sits and for prospective people considering this option. Thank you heaps Ben and Sandy.
DENISE (Tewantin QLD, Apr 2019 - 3 weeks)
Ben and Sandy were such wonderful house sitters. They are easy to talk to and we got along very well. They looked after our 4 dogs so well I don't think they wanted them to leave. The house was left very clean and lawns mowed. Ben even lent a hand to help move some furniture for our son. We received updates regularly from them with photos, the communication was spot on. I would use Ben and Sandy again in a heartbeat. Thank you both so much for being such wonderful sitters.

So pleased we met Ben & Sandy through House Sitters - wonderful, wonderful house sitters. Really friendly & personable people. Ben & Sandy looked after our home and of course our 2 dogs & 3 chooks. They were in regular contact with us with updates, including photos, which made it easier to relax & enjoy our holiday. We came home to a clean & tidy house and most importantly - happy animals.

Ben and Sandy are the most amazing couple. This was our first time with a house sitter and would recommend them 1,ooo percent. Best decision we ever made
LINDY (Newtown QLD, Feb 2019 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Ben and Sandy are a delightful couple. They looked after the house wonderfully and are very respectful of everything. Most of of all they looked after our 2 dogs ( one is quite old) and our old cat. They were very patient with them as they required a bit of extra attention. They adjusted very well to Ben and Sandy.
As we had never used a HouseSitter before, we were put at ease very quickly with Ben and Sandy. It was pleasure to come home to know everything had been taken care of very well. I ...

As we had never used a HouseSitter before, we were put at ease very quickly with Ben and Sandy. It was pleasure to come home to know everything had been taken care of very well. I am sure we will catch up with them again in the near future and highly recommend them as house sitters and would certainly like to use them again. My husband Louis was very impressed with their professionalism.
LESLEY (Brassall QLD, Feb 2019 - 1 week)
Ben and Sandy looked after our Irish Setter and the house while we were away on holiday. The house was lovely and clean when we got home and they took exceptionally good care of our dog Flynn. It was obvious that he had enjoyed their company and they went the extra mile to look after him. We would have them at our house any time.
LAURELLE (Warner QLD, Jan 2019 - 1 week 2 days)
Ben and Sandy were great sitters. My Bull Terrier Bella loved them from the start. They communicated well before and during the sit and I came home after a week to a happy, healthy dog and a lovely clean and tidy home. I would recommend Ben and Sandy to anyone wanting their home and pets well looked after while you're away having a break. I would not hesitate to use them again if the need arose.
REE (Middle Park QLD, Jan 2019 - 6 days)
Ben and Sandy were the most wonderful house sitters. They are friendly and easy to spend time with. They cooked us dinner after we returned from our wedding which was lovely! They keep our home clean and tidy and most importantly they took great care of our fur babies. They walked them twice a day and gave them as much love as we do. It was lovely seeing photos of them while we were away. Their communication was excellent. Our pups would definitely have them back and so would we

Thank you Ben & Sandy for taking great care of our home & garden while we were away. We knew we were leaving our castle in good hands after spending time with you before leaving. You are both honest, caring & reliable, also easy to communicate with. We are happy to refer you both as exceptional house sitters.
JEAN (Casino NSW, Nov 2018 - 4 weeks)
Ben and Sandy looked after our property and animals for a week while we were away and I could not be happier with their attitude and the way things were looked after. They were very confident and capable with the animals, 1 dog and 4 horses and the house and pool were spotless when we arrived home. They had some big storms and wet weather while we were away and they were right onto checking the weather maps and changing horses rugs to suit, which we were very grateful for.

A lovely couple, very clean and tidy, awesome with the animals, I can't thank them enough, would happily recommend to anyone wanting capable responsible house-sitters. Cheers Vera
VERA (Gatton QLD, Nov 2018 - 1 week)
Ben & Sandy were awesome sitters who provided quality care to our fur babies whilst we were away. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any pet sitting job. They even did additional jobs (that clearly needed doing eg. Raking leaves) whilst we were away and the dishes when we shared a meal. Prior to leaving they washed all linens and left their space cleaner than then when they arrived!
Hope you are available for the next pet sit guys. Cheers Siobhan and Tony.
SIOBHAN (Tamborine QLD, Oct 2018 - 1 week 2 days)
Ben & Sandy are delightful & energetic. They took such good care of our two puppies Oscar & Nami, so much that when we arrived home once Oscar & Nami got over their excitement to see us, they settled back into rhythm with us quickly. We would definitely recommend Ben & Sandy to others, however we want them all to ourselves
KAYE (Casuarina NSW, Oct 2018 - 6 days)
Ben and Sandy came to house sit and look after our pooch Louis for a 4 day period. Ben and Sandy were easy to communicate with prior to the sit, which made arranging everything a breeze. Ben and Sandy were warm and friendly upon arriving for the sit and we felt totally comfortable leaving our house and Louis in their hands.
During our time away we were provided with updates and pictures of how Louis was doing. Upon our return our house was spotless and had obviously been well cared for.

Ben and Sandy are very accommodating and reliable. We would love to have them sit for us again in future. Thanks so much guys, I think Louis was a bit sad to see us home so soon!
KATE (Manly West QLD, Oct 2018 - 5 days)
Ben and Sandy, We thank you so much for taking such great care of our place, pets and garden.
Darryl and I highly recommend Ben and Sandy for future house sits. They have been a great help and truly respectful of our home. We've loved having them as guests for extra days between other house sits also. They are polite and have a good sense of humour - Darryl and I took great care of 'Rosie' for you!
We would love it, if Ben and Sandy will be available for future house sits.
TONI (Riverbend Jimboomba QLD, Oct 2018 - 5-6 days)
Both Sandy and Ben have been amazing. They looked after our place and pets for over 2 weeks. Over that time they kept in contact sharing cute stories and videos of our fur babies. They were very caring and kind. They walked our very active jack Russell daily and cared for our cats by making a toy to play with. Sandy even medicated my sick cat everyday; what an angel. Our place was spotless when we returned and our pets so happy and well looked after. I would highly recommend them to anyone. ... MOREBoth Sandy and Ben have been amazing.
