Suzie & Andrew

Greetings!
We have completed various housesits through Trusted House sitters and 7 from here!

We undertake a regular house sit in New South Wales (Riverina)

We are a fun-loving family of four, living in Melbourne and looking for "family friendly" sits.

We moved to Melbourne from Queensland in 2009 and lived on the eastern side of Melbourne until our house was built and ready in 2011 and have been there ever since.

Our two kids are 9 (girl) and 3 (boy)
We love to travel interstate (and intrastate) as well as overseas (had a trip to Asia in January!); and we take pride in our own home and garden and would demonstrate this with any house that we have the pleasure to sit, particularly with cleaning, keeping the place tidy and attending to garden tasks.
At the moment, we are interested in weekend sits/ short term; due to work purposes and our daughter's schooling requirements coming first. However, quite happy to consider anything during school holidays or during the AFL/NRL seasons.

Andrew has his family located interstate, and we spent a recent Christmas with them (after multiple lockdowns) which brought us to the lovely idea of house sitting and pet sitting instead of sitting in a boring hotel room and waiting to use the swimming pool. We noticed a cat in the hotel complex and spent a lot of time with him.

We supervise our kids very thoroughly and have undertaken house sits with them, learning about respecting pets and other people's property. We will make sure we tidy up after ourselves and love your pet/s as our own!

We have a beautiful brown marbled Bengal cat named Jessica who gets lots of love and attention, especially from the kiddies and is an indoors cat and is friends with our neighbour receiving care when we are away.
She joins Suzie with yoga and exercise sometimes :) She can be seen in the background in zoom meetings!

We both work in permanent jobs in Melbourne (with some WFH opportunities) & try our best to adapt a healthy work life balance involving our kids and pet.
In regard to our health, we have both had our booster shots. Our daughter has had had her two vaccinations as recommended.

We love taking photos and will keep you updated as often as you like. Feel free to add us to WhatsApp!

The kids are always supervised with the pets especially with dogs and we will not have them wonder off without an eye on them :). We read advertisements carefully and if we feel the animals are a good match for our children to hang out with, we will consider applying.

Communication is the key. Feel free to email me.
We prefer texts so we that we don't interrupt your holiday, but we are more than happy to send regular photos and keep you updated.

Unfortunately, our profile for the Trusted House sitters' profile has expired as we did not renew in time but happy to confirm that we have completed house sits in various locations including Canberra, Albury, Melbourne suburbs, Mornington Peninsula, Bellarine region (Geelong, St Leonard's, Torquay).

We are happy to provide further references if required.

Thank you for reading. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have of us.
