House and pet sitters

44, Digital Marketer

44, Software Engineer

We are a responsible, trustworthy, married couple in our mid-40's who began house and pet sitting in 2017, and in 2022 decided we'd like to do it full-time in order to travel and look after beautiful animals.

We both grew up around dogs (ranging from large to small), cats, fish, birds and hamsters and also had our own pets in our adult years.

We have done many house sits in various settings ranging from suburban areas to farms, looking after a variety of animals from dogs, cats, birds, chooks, goats and sheep. We have also taken care of elderly animals, having to administer medication, as well as looking after puppies.

We are both business owners working remotely and will be home during the day to keep your pets company. We'll care for them and treat them as our own, giving lots of love and attention.

We'll also care for your home, keep it neat and tidy, and do all necessary chores, such as walking your dogs, (we have also taken cats for walks in the past) water the garden and plants, take out the rubbish, give pets medication, collect eggs from chickens, etc.

John is also experienced at looking after pools and maintaining gardens and lawns.

We're keen to hear from homeowners who would like us to house-sit and care for their pets while they travel.

Warm regards
John & Eleanor.

Eleanor and John were great house sitters who did an amazing job of looking after our home and our fur babies. We came home to a clean and tidy house and happy pets.
 
ALISON (Innes Park QLD, Oct 2024 - 4 weeks)
We had the pleasure of having Eleanor and John house sit for us, and we couldn't be more impressed. They took excellent care of our dog, Tinsel. It was clear from the start that they are true animal lovers, and Tinsel was well-loved and looked after. On top of that, they left our home spotless. They were also fantastic communicators, keeping us updated with photos and messages throughout their stay, which gave us total peace of mind. We highly recommend Eleanor and John to anyone looking for ... MORE
 
LAURA (Nunderi NSW NSW, Oct 2024 - 2 nights)
John and Eleanor were excellent! We recommend them unreservedly. They looked after the dogs extremely well and did a great job with the lawns despite the inordinate amount of rain. It was lovely to come home to happy, healthy dogs and a spick and span home. Thank you Eleanor and John. Our holiday was stress free because you were looking after things at home. Most appreciated, we would definitely have you back!
 
KAYSHA (Piallamore NSW, Sep 2024 - 4 weeks)
Eleanor and John were excellent sitters for my house, dog and garden. They arrived when promised and while i was away let me know that all was well back home. My dog was very well looked after and clearly enjoyed having walks, dinners and plenty of attention. And my home was spotless when I arrived home. Many thanks.
 
JENNY (Weston ACT, Sep 2024 - 1 week 4 nights)
This was the third time that John and Eleanor house sat for us. There really isn’t much more to say that I haven’t said in past reviews of them. I feel the best review is that we keep having them back! And they’ll be back next year too. They’re wonderful house sitters, and most of all our cat Sadie absolutely adores them. We absolutely trust her with them, as we trust our house to them. They’re also really lovely people!

Eleanor and John did a really great job looking after our home. They kept us up to date, both before and during, their stay. They looked after our 2 cats, 2 fishtanks, plants and pool and left eveything spotless on our return. I can definitely recommend them as housesitters. Thank you!
 
KRIS (Warner QLD, Dec 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
During my recent holiday, I entrusted my dog and plants to a pair of house sitters. I was very happy with the experience, as it was clear that they really loved animals. They took excellent care of my dog, following his routine and sending me regular updates and photos. They also cared for my plants and kept my house tidy. Their communication was great, and I felt confident leaving my home in their hands. I highly recommend Eleanor and John to anyone in need of a dependable and caring service.
 
VICI (Aspley QLD, Sep 2023 - 3 weeks)
Eleanor and John looked after our home and dogs wonderfully. We came home to happy fur babies and a house that was cleaner than when we left! Both Eleanor and John are friendly and kind and I would definitely recommend them if you're after house/pet sitters.
 
NICOLA (Brighton QLD, Dec 2022 - 3 weeks)
Eleanor and John did a great job looking after our home. They cared for our 2 dogs and sent us photos of them. They also looked after our chooks and fish and kept the garden well watered. They left the pool and house very clean. I can highly recommend them as housesitters.
 
YVONNE (Boambee NSW, Nov 2022 - 3 weeks)
It is so good to go away knowing that our pets and our house are in very good hands and this is how we felt with Eleanor & John. Communication was great and pictures sent of the cats (looking very happy). We arrived home to everything as it should be and two happy, relaxed cats. Highly recommend this couple.
 
JUDY (Gerringong NSW, Nov 2022 - 2 weeks 2 days)
First time using Aussie House Sitters and we started with the best I would say. Our request was to care of our fur/feather babies and we got more. John and Eleanor communicated quickly and whilst away, frequently. They made us feel so comfortable the day they arrived which made it easy to leave. We know they made sure our babies were loved whilst we were away as when we arrived home to the dogs and bird it was like oh well you guys are back but we didn't miss out on anything as we had John ...

TYMEKA AND DAVID (Picton NSW, Oct 2022 - 1 week 4 days)
We could NOT have asked for better house sitters! Eleanor and John sat for us for just over 5 months. I was a little anxious about leaving my house (and cat, Sadie!) with a sitter for such a long period. Eleanor and John were very easy to communicate with before the sit, and put my anxieties at ease. Their arrival process was very easy - they even took us to the train station. During the sit they checked in regularly, including sending me regular photos of Sadie, which I really appreciated. We ... MORE
 
THOMAS (NORTH NOWRA NSW, May 2022 - 6 months - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Eleanor and John took great care of our animals and our house! Their communication was great and they sent us updates/photos of the animals. We would have no hesitations having them come back to stay whilst we are away.
 
SARAH (Miami QLD, Apr 2022 - 4 days)
Eleanor and John house sat for us over the busy Christmas period and it was such a relief to go away knowing they had everything under control. They are both very capable and kept us updated on how the animals were going while we were away. Communication was excellent both before and during the house sit, the pets were happy and the house was exactly as we left it. Thank you so much guys! I would have no hesitation in recommending Eleanor and John and would welcome them back at any time :)
 
GABBY (Caniaba NSW, Dec 2020 - 3 days)
Eleanor and John looked after our house, pool, dog, cat, 4 chickens whilst we were away. Everything was well looked after and the animals were very happy. We would happily recommend Eleanor and John for further housesits.
 
LOU (The Gap QLD, Nov 2019 - 2 weeks 4 days)
We had a lovely time house sitting and looking after the Bailey, Percy and the chooks. The pets were easy to care for and the home is very comfortable. Thank you to Louise and family for opening your home to us.
No rating Eleanor and John are a lovely couple. Our house was kept neat and tidy and very clean. The plants were watered and the pool was the cleanest it's been in weeks. And most importantly, our cat was very happy and didn't even seem to miss us! I would highly recommend them and hope to get them again in the future.
