Hello, Denis and I are semi retired honest, reliable australians who have sold our home and have decided to travel until we find a place we want to call home. At the moment our caravan is in storage which gives us more options if no parking spaces are available at potential house sits.
We had 22 acres just outside of Wagga Wagga for many years and really love animals . Over the years we have had a variety of four legged friends and pretty much know what keeps them happy and how to care for them as if they were our own, including many horses agisted on our property.
We have even had hands on experience with farm animals when we have lived on acres and know what is required to look after them also, plus a huge variety of birds also over the years.
We aren't strangers to looking after a house and garden and would consider ourselves very trustworthy, and would take care of your house/property and animals as if they are our own.
We have never let anyone down by not turning up to our committed sits and always endeavour to leave our housesit looking as though we haven't even been there.
We have three adult daughters and six grandchildren, none of whom are travelling with us. We have no pets on board and are non smokers.
We are presently living off and on in our caravan and are free to pull up where ever we like, but even though we aren't over the van yet, the occasional break in a house is very welcome and mostly lately the van has been in storage as we have been lucky enough to be housesitting through the winter months.
We have had many housesitting experiences and can supply a reference, we have been volunteers for many years and have passed all the police checks needed.
We are currently housesitting in Victoria but are really hoping to find a nice warm housesit on the west coast for a week or two over winter .

As this was our first time, we found Pam a very friendly person and seemed very trustworthy. She kept us up to date about our dogs while we were away and we felt comfortable with her. We came home to a clean house and our 2 dogs were very happy to see us. Thank you Pam:-)
TRACEY (Sale VIC, Jul 2019 - 3 days)
Pam was a fantastic house and pet sitter. She communicated well and we came home to a clean house and happy pets. Highly recommend.
RACHEL (Upper Ferntree Gully VIC, Jun 2024 - 5 nights)
Pam is a fabulous house sitter. She looked after our house like it was her own & our cats were well cared for. Great communication. I highly recommend Pam.
LEISA (Belgrave VIC, Apr 2022 - 3 days)
This was our first house sit and we were a bit nervous about what we might be getting in to. But meeting Pam put us straight at ease. She asked insightful questions that showed she cared about looking after the place and our two cats in a way that would make us happy. She was also determined to leave a light footprint on the house, offering to sleep in the guest bedroom rather than the main, despite our insistence.

She was also determined to leave a light footprint on the house, offering to sleep in the guest bedroom rather than the main, despite our insistence.
We appreciated Pam's communication over the week and her flexibility in accommodating a relative who had to pick up something from the house,
Upon returning, Pam had washed all the linen and left it drying on the line. She also left a long note about the state of the house that was accompanied by a thank-you box of chocolates. The house was clean and our two cats seemed very relaxed, waking up from a sleep as though we had never left them. All of this was so good after a tiring trip home.
In short, Pam was an absolute joy to have as a house-sitter and I would heartily recommend her to everyone.
SIMON (Lyneham ACT, Dec 2019 - 5 days)
Pam and Denis were perfect carers. They left the house in perfect order, even had a nice warm fire burning for us when we arrived! Our dog Kimbo was obviously loved and pampered as he showed them a lot of affection. We were sad to see them go, and would highly recommend them to anyone who wants their home and pet loved like they did ours.
DANIEL & IZZY (South Arm NSW, Aug 2019 - one week)
Pam and Denis were able to come and house sit for us at very late notice which was such a relief for us. Our house has been looked after perfectly and our pets (cat dog and 4 chooks) are all as happy as ever.
Thanks again guys!
SAMANTHA (Mossy Point NSW, Apr 2019 - 3 days)
Pam and Denis came and looked after Moc our cavoodle for a couple of weeks whilst we were away. They we extremely caring of Moc and looked after our house perfectly. I came home to a lovely clean house. Pam kept in touch with me during our holiday which l greatly appreciated. Before the sit there was great communication and no doubt about their reliability. I would highly recommend Pam and Denis for future house sits and would definitely have them back if they wanted to. Thanks very much guys.

AMANDA EDGAR (Hepburn Springs VIC, Jan 2019 - 3 days)
Pam and Dennis were fantastic, great communication at every stage of the process, always keeping in touch. Came home to a very clean house, a very happy dog and sone very pretty flowers! Highly recommend!
REBECCA (Hampton VIC, Jan 2019)
Pam and Denis are lovely house sitters who we'd happily have stay at our house again. The house was left clean and tidy and the pets appeared to be happy and well cared for.
SUSAN (Rosebud VIC, Dec 2018 - 1 week 2 days)
Pam and Denis looked after my place for week. They did a great job with my horse and cat. Denis even pulled out some nail and screws from a fence(thanks for that ) they left the place near and tidy with some flowers and cookies on the table. No problems recommending them for other house sits.
NADIA (Pearsondale VIC, Nov 2018 - 1 week)
Thank you to Pam and Denis for taking the stress out of our trip to Cairns! We were slightly apprehensive as our dogs are quite young and very attached to us. Pam and Denis were very relaxed and made us feel that nothing would be a problem. They communicated well while we were away and took good care of Charlie and Iggy.
Good ambassadors for Aussie House Sitters!
CAROL (Callala Beach NSW, Aug 2018)
During our absence Pam and Denis looked after our home, dogs, horses, cats and cattle. They did a terrific job for us. We came home to a lovely clean house with a nice bunch of flowers on the table. Well ahead of going away we met Pam and Denis and then they kept in contact with us prior to going away and this gave us peace of mind. They arrived on time giving us sufficient time to explain everything to them without it being rushed.
BILL (Avenel VIC, Jun 2018 - 2 weeks)
Just fantastic!
This was a first for us. We have never used a house sitting service before.
Pam and Denis were just great! Our 6 Australian Cattle dogs were very contented when we got home. Having Pam and Denis here meant that they were comfortable in their own environment, cared for and the neighbours wondered what was going on as everything was quite on our property!
We came home to a clean home amd nothing to worry about and the lawns were mowed.
Would recommend Pam and Denis to anyone.

KIM (ECHUCA VIC, Apr 2018 - 3 weeks)
Pam & Denis - helped us out over Easter 2018 & looked after our "Babies x 4" very well. We came home to a beautiful bunch of flowers and tidy home.
We would certainly invite them back for further sits and would recommend them to others.
DIANNE (BENALLA VIC, Mar 2018 - 4 days)
Pam & Dennis recently looked after our house and our 4 year old black Lab Zulu. We came home to a tidy house and a happy and contented dog. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to look after your pet & home.
DAVID (Indented Head VIC, Feb 2018 - 5 days)
Pam and Denis were great, they came and met our Great Dane before the sit, and she was instantly at ease with them (albeit very excited).
Thank you for stepping in last minute, for looking after Pinot (our Dane) and leaving the place in a great state!
Enjoy your travels,
Dee & Si
DENISE (Glen Iris VIC, Dec 2017 - 2 days)
Pam and Dennis are reliable and trustworthy house sitters. They took great care of our home, pets and garden and we would recommend them in a heartbeat.
ANNA (Oakleigh South VIC, Dec 2017 - 1 week 5 days)
Pam & Denis did a fabulous house sit for us recently. Our pets were well looked after and very happy! Pam & Denis left our home and garden spotless and even planted some little surprises. Thank you, Pam & Denis, hope to see you again one day. We highly recommend Pam & Denis to care for your home & pets.
CHERYL (Curlwaa NSW, Sep 2017 - 3 weeks)
Pam and Denis looked after our large dog and house cat for 10 days in August 2017. They were very easy to communicate with via email prior, during and after the house sit. We felt very comfortable after meeting them in leaving our house and animals in their care. We received photos of our pets while away and were at ease on our holiday. The house was left spotless. Can wholeheartedly recommend this couple to look after your property / animals.
KATI (Vasa Views QLD, Aug 2017 - 1 week 4 days)
Pam and Denis looked after our animals and home for a week. The house was clean and tidy, the animals were all healthy and happy. This made us happy too!
Our neighbours reported seeing the dogs being walked every day. Well done!
I would be happy to have them back in our house again to care for our home and animals.
I hope they enjoyed staying here.
Thank you!
Pam and Denis looked after our property and most importantly our three dogs for almost two weeks. We have one dog that is very shy and wary of strangers. Within a few hours Pam and Denis made friends with her and the other dogs. There were no problems at all. When we got home the house was so clean and tidy. We have no hesitation in recommending Pam and Denis as perfect home and let minders. We'll be asking them to home sit for us again. 10/10
PRUE AND ALAN (Pillar Valley NSW, Mar 2017 - 3 weeks)
Pam and Denis house sat our place back in February for a little over a week. They also looked after our fur family of two small dogs and two cats. I could not recommend Pam and Denis enough! They were so friendly and accommodating of our requests. They took excellent care of our home (in fact it looked better when we returned than it did when we left!) We returned home to a perfectly neat and clean house, well looked after courtyard plus flowers and chocolates! The most important part for me ...

They were all extremely happy and healthy. After our initial meeting with Pam and Denis we immediately felt secure leaving our pets with them. One of our dogs is weary of all strangers but she took to Pam straight away and greeted her like an old friend.
I would without a doubt recommend Pam and Denis to take excellent care of both your home and pets.
Thank you Pam and Denis for all you did!
SAMANTHA AND CAMERON (Caulfield East VIC, Feb 2017 - 1 week)
We were very happy to have Pam and Dennis look after our house and dogs and cat. The place was spotless when we got home and the garden had been well looked after over summer. They are lovely people and would be very thrilled to have them stay again.

Pam and Dennis house sat and took care of our dog Chloe for us for 2 weeks in November 2016. We spoil our dog rotten and were very nervous about leaving her, but Pam kept us updated with pictures and texts throughout our trip putting our minds at ease that she was happy and being well looked after. My husband recently put in a new lawn and despite reports that it had been extremely warm we were very happily surprised to find our lawn mowed and healthy and green! The house was nice and clean ...

Highly recommend Pam and Denis. Honest reliable, mature and responsible couple. They looked after our dog and house very well. Highly recommend.
ROD (Kununurra WA, Sep 2016 - 3 weeks)
Pam and Denis looked after our 100 acre hobby farm for three weeks caring for pet sheep alpacas goats and an indoor cat. They did an excellent job and we would have no hesitation recommending them to anybody. Julie and John.
JULIE (Boyup Brook WA, Jul 2016 - 3 weeks)
Pam and Denis were wonderful with our two dogs. Both happy pooches when we arrived home. Lovely couple.
LOUISE (Busselton WA, Jul 2016 - 6 days)
Pam and Denis were punctual and reliable from the beginning. We were able to enjoy a relaxing break with absolute confidence in our sitters. We returned to contented pets, a tidy home, flowers and a ready made fire (along with prepared food for our ponies) etc. We are very grateful to Pam and Denis and recommend this friendly duo.
TERESA (Chidlow WA, Jun 2016 - 1 month 1 week)
Safe house!
There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
