We're a couple in our 30's who love animals, nature and the outdoors.
We are currently travelling Australia in our campervan after deciding to change up our lifestyle. We wanted to see more of this amazing country, so we sold our home of the last decade and hit the road! Both come from professional working backgrounds - Sam a Corporate Trainer and Lindsey an Administration Officer with 15 years experience.
Being previous homeowners ourselves, we understand homeowners who are concerned about ensuring the best possible care for their property and pets while they're away. We have great references, repeat requests and are grateful that people trust us with their beloved pets and home.
After losing our beautiful 15 year old dog in early 2022 we are eager to show our love to some new furry friends! Having grown up with cats and dogs, we do have an appreciation for both animals.
More about us as housesitters: We have experience caring for various animals from birds & chickens to horse & sheep. From juvenile to senior, from timid cats to anxious dogs. We’re also happy to administer medications where required. Our main priority is the happiness of your pet and security of your home, so we ensure majority of our time is spent at home/with the pet. We’ll also ask your pets routine to ensure we’re able to provide the best possible care before accepting the sit. Communication is key so we provide regular updates and photos (Lindsey loves animal photography) so that owners can rest assured knowing their home and pets are being well cared for.
Reliability is extremely important to us so we have never accepted a sit without being sure of our availability, nor ever cancelled.
We are well mannered, clean, tidy and respectful and would love the opportunity to take care of your home/pets. We look forward to meeting you!

If there were an award for "Best House Sitters Ever" Lindsey & Sam would win hands down. They looked after our 2 Labradors as if they were their own & we came home to a spotlessly clean house & clean chicken coop. They sent regular texts & photos while we were away & we felt very confident that our dogs were being well cared for.

I feel like I've gained two extra kids & they are welcome back to our home anytime. I highly recommend these lovely, caring, committed ladies to anyone looking for the perfect housesitters.
MICHELLE (Tenterfield NSW, Sep 2022 - 3 weeks)
Thank you so much Michelle for this wonderful review and kind words. Yourself and Brett made this an extremely enjoyable housesit and we also feel like we've gained a second family! Hoping our paths cross in future as we'd love to see you all again :-)
I was so lucky to have Lindsey and Sam stay whilst I was away. They took great care of my place and girls (the chickens) . Their communication was great with weekly updates and videos. I would happily have them stay again.
EMILY (Scamander TAS, Sep 2024 - 2 months)
Sam and Lindsey were possibly the best house sitters I've ever come across. They absolutely loves our cat and took amazing care of her. Their communication before and during the sit was faultless. We came back to the house in a spotless state. I cannot recommend Lindsey and Sam enough. Thanks again!
CHRISTINE AND WILL (Kingston Beach TAS, Aug 2024 - 2 weeks 1 night)
Lindsay and Sam were amazing sitters. Really friendly and professional. I'd never used AHS before so it was great that they asked heaps of questions and knew exactly how to look after my cat and the apartment. Excellent communication while I was away. Reggie my cat was so calm and relaxed on my return. Would definitely get Sam and Lindsay back to look after him again.
JAMES (Battery Point TAS, Aug 2024 - 2 weeks 5 nights)
Sam and Lindsey were wonderful sitters: reliable, easy friendly communicators, thorough and so kind and good-humoured with old Jack. I particularly enjoyed my letter from ‘him’ reassuring me that they were quick learners!
My house was spotless and Jack hardly noticed I was back!
Lindsey and Sam, we both thank you!
STEPHANIE (Akaroa TAS, Jun 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
Lindsey & Sam were the perfect fit for our dog Coco. Regular pictures showed a very happy dog on regular adventures & updates kept our minds at rest. Our house & garden were maintained exceptionally well & it has been a pleasure to now add these two reliable, affable & competent women to our list of new friends. They even compiled a short video of them & Coco for us to keep upon our return. Very nice & very funny. No hesitation in recommending these trusted sitters.

We were so lucky to have Lindsey and Sam house sit for us. With such a variety of animals to look after (horse, goat, sheep, chooks, budgie, dogs) we really needed a sitter with a genuine love of animals and we sure got that! All pets were treated as their own and shown lots of love and care. They kept is touch constantly with photos and updates and our house was immaculate on our return.

TRUDY (Sheffield TAS, Apr 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
Lindsey and Sam were fabulous - took great care of the house and chickens, including having to facilitate adopting an unexpected rescue chicken, and having to deal with the unfortunate deaths of two of the flock just when they had been there long enough to bond with them. Our indoor plants looked happier when we got home than when we left, and the extended dry spell meant that the house sitting gig included a lot more watering than originally planned.

JEN (South Hobart TAS, Mar 2024 - 4 weeks)
Sam and Lindsey are amazing! They took the time to come to my house to meet me prior to their stay and I instantly felt very comfortable with them staying and caring for our pets Louie and David. They sent me updates with photos and a video when they left which was so beautiful to see how much my pets were enjoying being with them. Thanks so much to you both!
SAMANTHA (Malua Bay NSW, Oct 2023 - 1 week)
We were thrilled when Lindsey and Sam responded to our ad and after a preliminary chat I knew we’d found a couple of gems. They were warm and engaged, curious, honest and careful in their approach to the sit and we really enjoyed their company. Communication was open, regular, reassuring and included photos and a hilarious video of Captain at the end of the sit. He was very relaxed and clearly comfortable with the girls.

They are open, warm, funny and generous and we knew immediately that we could trust our home to them as they were meticulous in ensuring that they understood what we required.

We were very pleased to hear that Lindsey and Sam enjoyed their time in our neighbourhood and the beautiful wildlife clearly liked their company as well. They went out of their way to make sure that all was in perfect order upon our return.
We can totally recommend Lindsey and Sam to look after your home, pets and garden as they would care for their own.

How lucky were we to find Lindsey and Sam!
This was our first experience with using Aussie House Sitters and we struck gold with these two.
After our initial contact via email and then a lovely long phone call, we felt completely comfortable leaving them with the big responsibility of looking after our much loved Dalmatian, Aoife.

Thank you so much Lindsey and Sam, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to others and to have you house sit again for us in future.
ALYCE (Dunlop ACT, Apr 2023 - 1 week 5 days)
Lindsey and Sam are without doubt the best house sitters we could have ever hoped for. They took exceptional care of our two dogs, Penny and Gough when went to Japan. They showered attention on them the whole time we were away, making sure they got lots of exercise and loads of love. They sent us detailed updates with beautiful pictures of the dogs enjoying themselves. It was so reassuring having such professional, caring people looking after our pets and home.

However, the best thing about having them house sit is that we now have two wonderful new friends. Sam and Lindsey radiate positivity and they are truly inspirational people. I cannot recommend them highly enough. The fact that the house was cleaner than when we left it is just another reflection of how much they care!
MARGARET (Queanbeyan NSW, Mar 2023 - 2 weeks)
Thank you Margie for such kind words. We are so grateful to have met you two wonderful people & we hope our paths cross again in future :-)
I can't recommend Sam and Lindsey highly enough! They housesat for us while we travelled overseas looking after our two older dogs. One of dogs has a couple of heath issues and it didn't phase them at all. Their communication was excellent - they kept us informed and sent regular pictures of the doggies. When we returned home the house was immaculate and the dogs spent a few days moping around looking for them. Would definitely utilise Sam and Lindsey again in the future.
VANESSA (Dunlop ACT, Feb 2023 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Lindsey and Sam have been amazing house and pet sitters - and we couldn't have asked for more! Their communication was excellent from beginning to end, and they asked lots of questions to make sure they understood what was involved to ensure they were picking the right sit for them, and for us too.
They were very caring for our two cats, and regularly sent photos and updates, and left our home in even better shape than we'd left it. Lindsey and Sam are very friendly, responsible and kind ...

Thank you both so much - and we look forward to catching you here for a wine on the deck when you're in Canberra next :)

LUKE (Flynn ACT, Jan 2023 - 1 week 6 days)
I highly recommend Lindsay and Sam for house sitting. They were very competent and attentive to our animals. The walked the dogs daily and maintained our routine. Communication was excellent,
Lindsay and Sam were also respectful of our home and belongings and left the house in impeccable state. I felt very comfortable having them here and would love to have them back.
YVETTE (Glenquarry NSW, Jan 2023 - 4 days)
Sam & Lindsey were dream house sitters! My fur family adored them! We were given regular updates and photos. I need to add the photos were the best photos anyone has taken of my pets! Thank you both for loving our pets in our absence!
DEB (Mittagong NSW, Jan 2023 - 1 week 2 days)
Lindsay and Sam were a pleasure to host. They were genuine right from the time they made first contact, were friendly and kind to the dogs on meeting them. They sent us frequent updates whilst we were away and we returned to a spotless home with very happy dogs. We would love to have them come and care for our home and dogs again should the opportunity arise. Thanks ladies!!
LIZ (Huntley NSW, Jan 2023 - 3 days)
Thank you to Lindsey and Sam, the girls were absolutely amazing house and hound sitters. The home was immaculate when we arrived back and our fur babies were happy and healthy. Their communication was awesome and sent us beautiful pictures of Max and Sassy whilst we were away.
We unfortunately had to change a few dates and they were so flexible with us. I would recommend Lindsey and Sam in a heartbeat to anyone!
Thanks girls.

JULIE (Nambour QLD, Aug 2022 - 1 week)
I don't even know where to start with this house sit! Have come home to a house that's cleaner than the one I left, pets are beyond happy, I was sent photographer level photos of my babies while I was gone, and the communication was amazing. Friendly, reliable, trustworthy.
Sam and Lindsey were the best we could have asked for. Hoping to use them again in future.
Thanks so much

Thank you for such a lovely review Rochelle! We'd certainly love to housesit again if we're in the region! ☺️
Sam & Lindsey are great house sitters.. our pets were looked after so well and we were kept up to date with regular photos and messages.. we came home to happy pets, a clean and tidy house and brownies. Would definately recommend them anytime.. :-D:-D
JO (Chapel Hill QLD, Jun 2022 - 1 week 5 days)

We would welcome them back at any time.

RICHARD (Sunrise Beach QLD, Jun 2022 - 2 days)
We were so grateful, Lindsey & Sam were available to house sit for us. They kindly came a day earlier for a brief run down & I instantly knew they are caring, gentle & genuine people. The dogs took to them straight away, rolling over for belly rubs & being picked up for cuddles. They provided regular updates along with photos & video of our pets. We returned home, to a spotless house, they cleaned the bedding & towels & best of all our dogs were happier then ever. I feel like they had a holiday ...

I don't think they missed us for a minute! Lindsey & Sam left us a personalised note & printed portrait photos of the dogs, we cannot thank them enough. I highly recommend them to any house sitter & hope they can come back again.
LAUREN (Doonan QLD, May 2022 - 1 week)
Sam & Lindsay were fantastic sitters. We had a good feeling the first time we met them. While away they looked after our house & treasured pets as if they were there own & kept us well informed. When we returned the house was spotless & pets happy. We would definitely have Sam & Lindsay back & recommend them for any future house sits.
