Mindful, respectful and caring

40, Somatic therapist

44, Artist photographer and gardener

Hi! We're Manon, John and Ayo.

I, Manon, am a somatic therapist and John is an artist, photographer and gardener.

My daughter Ayo is 10 years old and she's a mature and respectful child. She's very attuned to the animals' needs and always gentle and loving with them.

We've been full-time house and pet-sitters since October 2023 so we have a lot of experience and have taken care of cats, dogs, fish, horses, cows, goats, chickens, guinea fowls, and even snakes and axolotls!

We have only received EXCELLENT reviews as you'll see in our profile and in the photos.

Good things about us:
- We're home a lot (partly working from home, partly in Maleny), so your pets get lots of presence and love.
- We love gardening, mowing and taking care of pot plants.
- We love patting cats and we love walking, so your dogs can get plenty of exercise.
- We always leave the house a little cleaner that we found it :-)
- We make sure that your pets are comfortable and do our best to respect their daily routines.
- We're very mindful and respectful.
- We don't smoke, don't drink, don't party.
- We send pictures regularly so you know that your pets are okay.

Because of our gentle and caring energy, even anxious pets relax very quickly with us (to the surprise and delight of their owners!).

We only house-sit around Maleny (within 25min drive).

Please read all the reviews below and feel free to ask us any questions!
We can come to meet you anytime.

Warmly,
Manon, John and Ayo

Manon and John did an amazing job and looked after my house and dogs very well. They provided regular updates on the dogs while I was overseas and the house was left sparkling clean! Would definitely have them back any time.
 
DANIEL (Palmwoods QLD, Jul 2024 - 1 week 6 nights)
Manon and John immediately formed a bond with our cats including our timid cat who was totally relaxed within 24 hours. They also managed a couple of vet visits for our older cat who has some kidney issues and needs monitoring. The house was definitely cleaner when we came home than we left it- it was a pleasure to walk in the door and see everything sparkle. Manon also is very experienced with houseplants and she revived a couple that were looking very peaky when we left. We will definitely be ... MORE

Manon and John were an absolute pleasure to meet and host in our home. I’ve often felt apprehension in the lead up to going away, with our various cat/dog/chicken/property/garden care requirements. This experience was completely different. Communication was prompt, clear, and easy. The house was sparkling when we got home, all animals content, and plants well nurtured. I can’t recommend Manon and John enough and hope to have them back again when next we travel.
 
NATALIE (Hunchy QLD, May 2024 - 2 weeks)
Manon and John were our first sitters. We were quite concerned leaving our home open to total strangers for more than a month! We were totally blown away! They were the best choice we could have made . Kind , polite , neat, friendly and very efficient! Their communication was spot-on, with an eight hour difference! On our return we found the house and garden in a pristine condition, Manon& John are highly recommended! 5⭐️ A special thanks to you both! Until next time!
 
LIDA (Montville QLD, Apr 2024 - 1 month 1 week)
Thank you Lida, we're glad you're happy with how we did everything. Thank you for trusting us with your house, your garden and your cottages. We, all three of us really enjoyed our time there, and we're looking forward to next time! Love to you both.
I can't speak highly enough of Manon; such a calm, caring, responsible, communicative person. My dog was so beautifully cared for in every way eg exercised on the beach, fed home made, healthy foods & genuinely cared for by Manon. The house was immaculate when i returned (pretty sure it was cleaner than when I left it). Absolutely no hesitation in recommending Manon - she is the best!
 
KATHLEEN (Caloundra West QLD, Feb 2024 - 2 weeks)
Manon and Ayo were wonderful house sitters. We came home to a clean house and very happy cats. Manon communicated so well and looked after everything even in really awful weather. I really felt like we could trust her in our home and to take care of things. Thank you so much!
 
ROSIE (Nambour QLD, Jan 2024 - 2 weeks 1 night)
I cannot speak highly enough of the care that Manon and Ayo gave to my tribe of rescue cats plus looking after our newly renovated house, garden, many potted plants and the pool. Everything was immaculate on our return.I’ve had good sitters in the past but Manon has surpassed them all with her easy going nature, excellent communication and regular photos of the cats as well as her respect and care of our belongings. She always sought clarification when needed and was keen to keep the cats in ... MORE
 
DONNA (Coolum Beach QLD, Dec 2023 - 1 week 6 nights)
Highly recommend Manon and Ayo who looked after our house and dog. Came home to a beautifully clean home. We received regular updates while we were away about our dog, Zurie.
 
TIM (Mount Coolum QLD, Dec 2023 - 3 weeks)
Manon, John & Ayo were great house sitters. They took good care of our dog Sage. They sent us photos and regular updates. We returned home to a happy & healthy dog. It was a pleasure to come home to a very clean and tidy house. Our garden and plants were looked after and watered. They were every thing you could wish for in a Housesitter. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy Housesitter.

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
