Joyleen
48, University Lecturer
Hello there. I'm Joyleen and I am a responsible and professional lady and a long time live-in carer. I know all about taking care of people, pets, and property with the utmost respect and consideration. I am based on the Central Coast but currently reside in Sydney. I love the company of some lonely pets when I am away from my Maremma dog, Misha, who I miss whenever I travel.
** Please note: My dog stays with family whenever I travel. I don't bring him along to housesits **

Joyleen was a god send!! Last minute booking.
Great communication and looked after the pets and house as if they were her own!
Even changed the sheets which wasn’t necessary but was a great help after coming back from a camping trip 😀
Would happily have her back!!

This is the second 3 week sit that Joyleen and Zel have done for us and we highly recommend them. Prince is not even that excited when we come home, which is the best recommendation we can give! Many thanks both of you.

Joyleen and Zel looked after Timmy and my home for a week in April this year. I couldn't recommend them more highly. They were clearly experienced sitters and they looked after Timmy and the house beautifully. Timmy was calm and happy when we returned and the house was immaculate. They communicated well, and were keen to check how frequently they should communicate with me. I'd happily have them housesit again

Joyleen and Zel were communicative and left the house very clean and tidy. Thank you.
These guys are such beautiful people and I felt at ease after meeting them as I knew my pets were in good hands. If there were any issues they contacted me. My pets were happy and healthy when I got home and my house was left even cleaner than when they arrived!
KENDAL (Cremorne NSW, Mar 2024 - 2 nights)
Thank you Kendal for the opportunity. Let us know if we can help out again.
Joyleen and Zel looked after my home and dogs for 20 nights. The house was spotlessly clean on my return and I had 2 very contented dogs! I highly recommend them and will request them again for my next holiday.
Thanks so much Maureen. Give Beau & Dolly a tummy scratch from us.
Joyleen and Zel looked after our Mollie very lovingly. Which being the affection craving caboodle she is, is important.
Our apartment was spotless on our arrival home and a happy dog awaited us.
Very happy with the result of our first housesitting foray. I would definitely recommend Joyleen and Zel to others!
The sitters did an excellent job. They took the 3 dogs ( 2 big poodles and a malinois) for daily walks with ball play and frisbee, they left the house spotless, communicated often and well, including sending daily photos of dogs on walks and at home.
ALISON (Forest Lodge NSW, Feb 2024 - 2 nights)
Joyleen and Zel did a brilliant job of looking after my 2 dogs. They were clearly a big hit with my 2 dogs, although they were still happy to have me back.
My house was left neat and tidy, and communications were easy and timely.
I hope that I can get plenty more opportunities to utilise their sitting skills and experience.
PAULINE (Burwood NSW, Jan 2024 - 1 week 6 nights)
Joyleen was a pleasure to deal with. She seemed very experienced with animals. Totally unphased with all the medications our ageing cat needed and happy to entertain and walk our energetic dog. I found her flexible and proactive, asking how much information I wanted while I was away. As regular sitters, She and partner Zel obviously knew what they were doing. It was also useful that they’d done a lot of sits in Marrickville and knew the area well.
When they left, the house was clean and ... MOREJoyleen was a pleasure to deal with. She seemed very experienced with animals.

2nd time working with Joyleen and Zel. Such a care free easy process and Molly always looks happy and content when we get back
Thanks

Zel and Joyleen are perfect housesitters. They were easy to deal with and went beyond expectations. I will contact them next time and highy recommend them to others.
MAXINE (Balmain East NSW, Aug 2023 - 1 week 4 nights)
6 stars - We are over the moon with Joyleen and Zel as our house sitters for our pug. We came home to immaculate house ( even better then we handed over ! ) and a relaxed little pooch. We cant speak highly enough of these two people. Thank you so much
Cheers

Joyleen and Zel took fantastic care of Louis and the apartment. I don't think Louis even noticed I was gone, and I came home to the apartment in an amazing state. I would happily have Joyleen and Zel sit again, and would recommend them to anyone.
JESSICA (Marrickville NSW, Apr 2023 - 3 weeks)
Joyleen and Zel were perfect housesitters. The house was immaculate when we came home and most importantly, Prince was clearly happy in their company. He can be a bit challenging to take for a walk and they coped with this with no issues at all. Excellent communication while we were away. We have already rebooked them for a longer house sit in a few months time!. Thank you Joyleen and Zel,
PAMELA (GLEBE NSW, Apr 2023 - 1 week - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Joyleen and Zel is have been fantastic house sitters. They made the whole experience so easy for me and left me at ease leaving my fur baby behind. I would highly recommend them and would have no hesitation in asking them to house sit in future. Thank you again for the care you gave to my home and Jake
AMANDA (Annandale NSW, Apr 2023 - 1 week 3 days)
Joyleen is an absolute delight and could not have been happier with the care and attention for the pups. They were clearly well looked after and she was very happy to stick to their fastidious food and exercise routine. Received daily updates which were fabulous and the unit was left clean and tidy. Wouldn't hesitate to have her back and I'm sure the pups would be over the moon as well!
DI (Gladesville NSW, Dec 2022 - 5 days)
Joyleen was a pleasure to deal with and everything was carried out as you would hope for. The house was kept as clean or cleaner than before we left; Updates on how everything was going and how Elsee was faring. Lovely pictures of Elsee relaxing and enjoying her company. Thoroughly recommend Joyleen and will welcome her back for other stays!
GLEN (Dulwich Hill NSW, Dec 2022 - 4 days)
Joyleen and Zel were a great help, jumping in to sit at the last minute. Communication was clear and prompt, and they made time to acquaint themselves with Hygge before the sit, despite the short lead time. Joyleen and Zel sent daily updates where I could see Hygge quickly settled with them, in spite of her idiosyncrasies. They also took great care of our house and plants. We really appreciate the lovely handwritten note and going the extra mile to wash sheets and remake our bed before we got ...

Joyleen was everything we were looking for in a sitter. On the ball and sympathetic to our dog's anxiety triggers, prompt comms and lots of photos. Our minds were at ease and we'd happily have her sit for us again anytime.

Green garden!
Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
