Jackie and Joe

62, Retired

Thank you for considering us for your house sit! We are a retired couple and have been touring around Australia for the past few years. We would love the opportunity to care for your home and pets. We find house sitting takes us to places we might have otherwise missed and allows us to "live like locals", giving us another aspect of travelling, which we enjoy immensely. We have lots of experience house sitting and caring for pets including dogs, cats, chickens, horses and cows to name a few. Having cared for properties ranging from 100 acre farms with cattle to smaller suburban homes maintaining pools, landscaped gardens and veggie patches, we are capable and knowledgeable in looking after all kinds of homes and pets.
We are a very honest, trustworthy and reliable couple and treat every home as if it was our own. We take pride in ensuring home owners are pleased with the standard we have maintained in their absence. Along with the references attached, we can provide lots of additional phone references on request. Please give us a call anytime so we can discuss your requirements in more detail and arrange a meet and greet.
All the best, Jackie and Joe.

We struck gold with Jackie and Joe. They are extremely warm and engaging people who ssettled in quickly and took on rhe role seemleasly .Rosie was beautifully cared for and indulged with many outings and walks. The chickens , guinea fowl, fruit trees, vege garden and lawn all flourished under their meticulous care. We highly recommend Jackie and Joe and hope to have them here again in the future.
 
GILLIAN (Fernleigh NSW, May 2024 - 3 weeks)
Jackie and Jo were amazing house sitters, we cant recommend them enough. The love and care they gave Lilly was outstanding, they treated Lilly like their own. The house was spotless and the garden maintained. When we arrived back Jo had made pizzas which was a great welcome home dinner. We would definitely use Jacki and Jo again if they can fit us into their busy schedule . Thanks again Robyn, Dave and Lilly xxx
 
ROBYN (Eden NSW, Apr 2024 - 2 weeks 2 nights)
Jackie and Joe were absolutely wonderful house sitters during the two weeks that they stayed at our house. The dogs were probably spoilt more that if we were there, and Joe went above and beyond by continuing their 5am walk routine! Joe also set about looking after the 2.5 acres of our land, mowing grass and weeding weeds ... after being explicitly told that he didn't have to!!! Finally, when we arrived home, the house was much cleaner than when we left and they had made dinner for us! What ... MORE

PATRICK (Eschol Park NSW, Feb 2024 - 2 weeks 3 nights)
I just want to say if Jackie and Joe have applied to house sit for you....say YES, quickly, before someone else gets them! They were wonderful, made an effort to arrive before we left so we could meet them and show them around, they sent regular photos of our beloved pooches, they mowed the lawn...twice! (our neighbours told us) even though the weather was hideously hot while they were here, and the house was just as we had left it (clean and tidy). They are lovely, go over and beyond, and I ...

We were over the moon with Jackie & Joe, updates of our dog every few days, we came back to a house that was cleaner then we left it. Which was still clean mind you. The hedges were trimmed back and the gardens were kept clean. Would definetly recommend this lovely couple to anybody.

ALLAN & TANGI (Mundoolun QLD, Nov 2023 - 1 week 4 nights)
Jackie & Joe are the PERFECT house sitters! We hadn't used Aussie House Sitters before so for first timers, we were nervous about leaving our home and pets in the care of new people, however Jackie & Joe made us feel like we had known them for years. They were kind enough to visit a month before the sit to ensure we were comfortable with the arrangement and they arrived at our house the day before departure to familiarise themselves with our pets and our home. Whilst away we received ... MORE
 
JENNA (Riverhills QLD, Sep 2023 - 1 week 2 nights)
Thank you Jenna, Jayden and Lucy for sharing your home and beloved Bonnie and Chino with us! Such a beautiful young family, it was truly a pleasure meeting you all. You made us feel so welcome and provided everything we needed to ensure our stay was a happy, relaxed and comfortable experience. ... MORE
Jackie and Joe were the perfect house sitters. They kept us well informed and up to date on what was happening with our Puppies and other animals with regular posts and photos. They handled any issues that arose in a prompt and responsible manner and our home was spotless upon our return. They even cooked us a lovely breakfast on return home. If you are looking for easy going, friendly and responsible house sitters I can highly recommend Jackie & Joe, they were just fantastic. Tiger and Ruby ... MORE
 
KIM (Lilydale TAS, May 2023 - 2 months)
Jackie and Joe were incredible. Great communication, wonderful care of garden and pets; we couldn't have asked for anyone better. We have stayed in touch with them and would love to have them back again at our home. Both were respectful of our space, they took care of everything, stayed in contact in a manner that kept us informed but was not intrusive. The place was left immaculate and we came home to a fresh, beautiful home, garden and pets, it was such a great experience.
 
EMILY (Jones Hill QLD, Jan 2022 - 2 weeks)
Totally awesome house sit and family! We really enjoyed our time here with Chewbacca being friendly, obedient and lots of fun. The chooks gave us yummy eggs daily too. Everything we needed was generously available and Em was always quick to respond to any queries. We were made to feel very welcome ... MORE
We could not have asked for better housesitters to look after our house and most of all, our two dogs. Jackie and Joe were excellent - we came home to a wonderfully clean and tidy home, our lawn was mowed and whipper-snipped (Joe actually fixed our whipper-snipper) and we had two very content dogs. They would send us photos every couple of days of the dogs to show they were indeed, in good hands. We would recommend Jackie and Joe to anyone with family pets. They cared for our dogs as we ...

VICKI (Home Hill QLD, Mar 2021 - 6 days)
Joe and Jackie looked after our home and yard almost better than we do! Everything was so well watered and beautiful! My house was so clean and tidy, I almost didn't want to move back in! Our beloved Toby loved them and looked very healthy and happy! Jackie even sent me photos of my new Dahlia flowers I hadn't even seen, as well as the very happy cows and Toby! Thanks so much Joe & Jackie for a job very well done! We really appreciated all you did so please come back and visit us just as ... MORE
 
HEATHER (Sharon QLD, Feb 2021 - 2 weeks 1 day)
It was a pleasure to care for Heather and Colin's property and home. Toby the cat and Billie the cockatiel were very chilled and fun to be around. We were given good old fashioned country hospitality from the moment we arrived! The river provided a lovely view and cool breezes throughout the day. ... MORE
Absolutely wonderful couple, Jackie and Joe treated our home with the utmost respect, our dog Dex loved them, our child too and he knows good people. We had the pleasure of getting to know Jackie and Joe, they're like family now and we have no hesitation in highly recommending them to anyone looking for a house sitter. Such a stress free experience which made our holiday just the best knowing our house and animals we so well cared for. Thanks guys! We look forward to seeing you again. Best ... MORE
 
KELLY (Cashmere QLD, Aug 2020 - 5 days)
Jackie and Joe are absolute gems! They took excellent care of our house and beloved dog Klaus for four days. The minute they arrived Klaus was won over by their warm greetings and big belly rubs. They were so easy to communicate with and accommodating to our schedule, it made our trip away more relaxed knowing everything was safe in their capable hands. Joe even mowed our (jungle) lawn - which was a delightful surprise considering how out-of-control it was!! Jackie and Joe's thoughtfulness ... MORE
