Hi! My name is Katie and my partner Robbie and I moved to Brisbane from the UK in February 2024. We have been house sitting since the day we arrived and we both have extensive experience house sitting in Queensland both through AussieHouseSitters in Australia and through BorrowMyDoggy in the UK. We have multiple 5 star reviews on this site and externally.
For external reviews, please see below! (Verified external reviews can be sent as attachments through messaging).
We also have multiple references for house sitting in the UK, as well as perfect rental records for 3 years as a couple and 6 years total. We look forward to helping out with a house sit, we are trustworthy, hardworking and extremely tidy and respectful. And above all- we care deeply for animals and treat each pet we care for as our own. If you need experienced house sitters, we would love to hear from you!
Thank you!
Katie and Robbie

Katherine and Robbie took amazing care of our four cats, house (and pool!). They sent us updates during the trip, and we're super organised in the lead up. It was so nice to come home to a clean house, happy fur babies, everything in order & ready for us to settle back in. Would recommend to anyone, thanks guys!

"Hi all we want to recommend Katie and Robbie who house sat our two dogs for 3 weeks just recently. Our youngest pup is quite anxious and we were quite nervous on how he would go. We also left the brief just plays and no walks while we were away. The dogs were very well looked over and we were updated regularly as we requested. The house was left immaculate when we returned. We highly recommend Katie and Robbie. These are some of the update pics we received when Katie and Robbie (who are on this page) did a house and dog sit on our 3 week overseas vacation.
We were anxious leaving the younger one (the dashing gent giving Katie a cuddle). He had never been away from us before and can be quite anxious. He is also reactive with other doggos so the brief was only play at home and no walks.
Katie and Robbie did an amazing job. We let them know how many updates we would like and we returned to an immaculate home and two very content doggos. We cannot recommend them highly enough. If you are interested please let me know and I will pass on their details. 5 ⭐️"

"Katie and Robbie looked after our 3 year old pug Lola 2-3x per week for 4 months during COVID-19 and they were just amazing with her. Lola was always so happy to see them and came back from walks happy, calm and well exercised! Katie was a godsend as I have two young children, one with autism, so Lola was sometimes not getting the attention or walks she needed. Katie always communicated well and sent us pictures of Lola when she was at her house and even gave my children gifts for Christmas. I couldn't recommend Katie enough as a dog sitter and wish she never moved away so Lola would still have her best friend!"

"Katie and Robbie have looked after Charlie on several occasions and have always been polite, kind, and most importantly able to manage a very hyperactive Labrador. Very grateful!"
-Pamela, Oxford, UK
"I have an autoimmune condition and sometimes find it difficult to walk my beloved dog Max. Katie was very helpful and would take him out on long walks near my house to wear him out when I was unwell. He can be very stubborn but Katie always convinces him to get his exercise! She was always very kind and friendly. We both were sad to see her leave last year."

Couple
Katie and Robbie are a delightful young couple on the adventure of a lifetime. They bonded with my dogs Hunter and Murphy immediately, and take care of them as if they are their own. They are neat, clean and tidy, and when I returned home yesterday the house was spotless and there was even a beautiful vase of flowers for me. I would recommend Katie and Robbie as top notch house and pet sitters with no hesitation. I have them booked again in a couple of weeks' time.
