Ann was a super star house sitter, who was able to build an instant rapport with our Zippy. She looked after our kitten with absolute care and we are incredibly grateful. Ann even purchased new toys for Zip which was extremely kind! Ann kept our house and pool very tidy and kept our plants watered which are now baring fruit. My wife and I could not recommend Ann more, and would love to have her back in future if we can meet her schedule. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Ann!

Ann did a wonderful job in looking after our home and cat, Sahara.
She was easy to converse with, and provided regular updates and photos of home and of Sahara. It was easy to see that Sahara was extremely comfortable with Ann which made us relax with being away.
Thanks Ann for looking after our home so well.
TANDY (Newmarket QLD, Aug 2024 - 2 weeks 1 night)
Ann was fantactic. She regularly sent us photos of the cats and chickens, spent time to play with them, and took great care of the place. It was like having a family member housesit for us. Many thanks to Ann and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for an awesome sitter!
BRICE (Morayfield QLD, May 2024 - 4 weeks)
Ann is very reliable and punctual. She is more than capable of looking after for my very old cat and exceptionally caring.
Ann kept in touch with pictures of Mocha.
We came home to a clean and tidy house.
I would be very happy to have Ann sititng any time.
DOROTHY (Shailer Park QLD, Feb 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
Ann is a fantastic house & pet sitter.
She was very responsive to my messages and kept my mind at easy regarding my furbabies by sending me regular updates and pics of them looking very relaxed in her presence.
When I got home, my home was spotlessly clean and she had put fresh linen on my bed, which was greatly appreciated after more than 24hours of transit back home.
I would have no hesitation in selecting Ann to look after my cats and home again. Thanks Very much Ann!
CRAIG (Stones Corner QLD, Jan 2024 - 2 weeks 4 nights)
Ann was a truly amazing find. From the second we met I felt Ann was a genuinely warm and caring person and Tiger and Teddy would be in nurturing hands. Ann's a great communicator and kept me up to date on the boys and their antics, and I had lots of lovely photos too. Boys were super chilled and relaxed when we got home and in great condition. Came home to a clean house and cared for garden. I'll be seeing Ann again, for sure and have no hesitation recommending her.
KAREN (Dutton Park QLD, Dec 2023 - 2 weeks 4 nights)
Ann was a very reliable and caring cat sitter! My two boys were very well looked after as well as the garden and house. All beautifully cleaned and tidy when I got home.
Ann is a good communicator and I would recommend her for house and pet sitting.
MARGIE (Newmarket QLD, Dec 2023 - 2 weeks 6 nights)
Ann was amazing.

Thank you for looking after my precious and house
TANIA (Tingalpa QLD, Feb 2023 - 1.5 weeks)
Ann did a great job looking after our house and two cats. Excellent communicator. Came back to a very clean home.
SAMUEL (Yeppoon QLD, Jan 2023 - 1 week)
It was so reassuring having Ann come in and look after our home and Jax. She was fantastic with her communication before coming to stay along with sending photo updates of Jax whilst she was staying.
When we arrived back home we found one very happy cat and our house in immaculate condition, We would have no hesitation in recommending Ann to anyone wishing her to housesit and hope she can come back to Bulimba in the future.

Ann was very understanding & made other arrangements due to the sit being cut short. We can't thank Ann enough for how well she took care of our house & Chili. Coming home to a clean house & a happy cat was fantastic. We would love to have Ann back if we require a sitter & highly recommend her as a wonderful sitter.
TAMARA (Raceview QLD, Feb 2020 - 1 month 2 weeks)
This was my first experience using Aussie Housesitters and Ann made it a positive experience. Ann was quick to reply to my request and arrange a meet and greet. My house and garden were well looked after while I was away! Ann is a friendly, happy person who I felt confident I could trust. Thank you so much Ann! I highly recommend Ann for any future house sits, that's if I haven't booked first! :-D
KAY (Forest Lake QLD, Aug 2019 - 22 days)
From the first time meeting Ann I felt completely at ease. Our primary concern was the health, happiness and well being of our animals and her calm and pragmatic approach set any concerns aside. Ann communicated well leading up to and during her sit, including face-time with our animals so we could see and talk to them. Ann was integral to our enjoyment and relaxation during our holiday and we and our cats would happily have her return.
MICHELLE (Mitchelton QLD, Jul 2019 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Guess we got Ann on a bad week.. thankfully had a good security system but left us stressed on our holiday.. wasn't until I called her out at not being at the property she stayed.. wasn't even turning on the security system which I had to do remotely. Everything was disclosed on first visit including we were a Pagan/smoking household! First and last time I use a house sitter!
VIVIEN (Coalfalls QLD, Jul 2019 - 1 week)
Ann enabled me to have a stress-free holiday as I knew my pussycat, Buster, and apartment were in safe hands. Ann asked all the appropriate questions and built an instant rapport with my pet. Whilst I was away she sent me regular correspondence both about Buster and my home, and demonstrated car for me. I would highly recommend Ann to house sit
JACQUI (Spring Hill QLD, Jun 2019 - 29 days)
Ann has just completed a house sit for me and was a real pleasure to deal with. She looked after my two old dogs and gave me regular updates on their progress and any concerns she had about their welfare. The house and garden were clean and tidy and I have no hesitation in recommending Ann to anyone looking for a housesitter. Also thank you to Storm and James (Ann's family} for their time and care in helping out with the sit so Max and Sheila had lots of company.
SAL (Hillcrest QLD, Feb 2019 - 2 weeks 6 days)
Ann was an absolutely fantastic sitter! As soon as we met her we knew our cat and house would be in very good hands with her. She was friendly, communicative and helped us above and beyond what we could have hoped for. We hadn't had a sitter before so I was a bit nervous about leaving my baby with a stranger, but my cat warmed to her immediately and we came home to an extremely happy cat and spotless house. We would love to have her back to stay anytime, and highly recommend her as a house ... MOREAnn was an absolutely fantastic sitter!

Loved having Ann stay. Looked after our house and garden well. Very thoughtful. Would have her back any time. Enjoyed her company for a couple of days afterwards.
MARGARET (Sunnybank QLD, Aug 2018 - 2 weeks)
Thanks Ann for doing a great job again of caring for our house and our chooks. It is a pleasure to walk into a well-cared-for and clean home at the end of a big holiday!
MARK (Fairfield QLD, Jun 2018 - 1 month 2 weeks - 1 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Ann looked after our house and fur-babies for 3 weeks and we couldn't be happier to have found her. Our pooch has some anxiety issues and we are always worried about leaving him with someone new. On first meeting him, Ann followed all of our instructions which made us feel very comfortable about leaving our pets with her. Usually when we are away our dog loses a lot of weight due to fretting but not this time! In fact, I don't think he missed us at all! I would not hesitate to recommend Ann to ...

CHARLOTTE (Mount Crosby QLD, Jun 2018 - 2 weeks 5 days)
We had Ann looked after our 4 br house, a dog and three guinea pigs.
As our guinea pigs are free running around our backyard it sometimes is certainly great challenge to catch them. It is usually our kids job.... Anyway even though it was very hard finding one of piggies, Ann contacted me and showed always positive manner and caught them all. Always clear communication and we cannot thank Ann enough.
Came home nice and tidy, dog was happy and so as gunea pigs.
Thank you ANN!!!
AKI (Oxenford QLD, Apr 2018 - 5 days)
Ann was Great. Looked after the house and animals really well, and gave plenty of updates while we were away.
CAROL (Belmont QLD, Mar 2018)
Ann was wonderful from our first contact. She came down to meet us and greet our cats prior to agreeing to the sit. She maintained contact prior to coming as well just to check in. As we were leaving earlier than she could get down we met to exchange keys. My cats true to form managed to knock over and break stuff the first night. She was upset and let us know straight away with photos. I felt bad for her but she took it in her stride. We got regular updates. When we arrived home the house was ...

The best endorsement really.
TERRI (Daisy Hill QLD, Mar 2018)
Anne was fabulous and I felt very comfortable to accept Anne as our sitter from the first conversation we had. She was easy to communicate with and kept us informed of how Digby was going throughout our time away, allowing us to relax and enjoy the time.
The house was left immaculate, so nice to come home and be able to focus on settling back in with a clean house, a happy pet and my plants and gardens in great shape.

KATHLEEN (Ipswich QLD, Feb 2018 - 3 weeks)
Couldn't recommend Ann highly enough! She was absolutely wonderful and we just knew from the first meeting that our cat would be in good hands.
She kept us updated about once a week with an email, which included photos:) Much appreciated.
We came home to a clean house and a happy cat.
Next time we need a sitter we hope she'll be free!
ALINA (Willow Vale QLD, Jan 2018 - 1 month 1 week)
Thankyou Ann for saving the day and house sitting. We may not have been able to enjoy our family holiday if you had not come along. Thankyou for your care of our home and our dogs. We are very grateful.
MICHELLE (Springfield Lakes QLD, Nov 2017 - 4 days)
Ann is beyond amazing, she is so lovely, caring, and always kept me updated with our house and fur babies, the house was always clean when we came back home and never a problem getting in touch with Ann. I highly recommend Ann as a house sitter.
JESSICA (Shailer Park QLD, Nov 2017)
Ann was warm, approachable and reliable. She sent us photos of the animals when we were away and when we came back they were calm and extremely contented. The house was as we left it, it was like no one was here. I would hhighly recommend Ann for any household.
SHERRIN (Morningside QLD, Oct 2017)
Ann is the best house and pet sitter we've had to date! From first contact, Ann was extremely personable, and we felt instantly comfortable leaving our house and pets in her care.

Ann was proactive in asking about what was needed for both the boys and the house, touching on things I hadn't even thought to mention/cover.
While away, Ann kept us up-to-date with the house and pets, and it was reassuring to know everything was going well. She even stayed late on the day of our return to ensure the boys were fed at their usual meal time.
Once home, the house was immaculate (probably better than we left it!), and I know the boys loved her because they are still looking for her in the guest room ;)
Next time I need a house/pet sitter I will contact Ann. But I better get in quick because she's hugely popular - I can totally see why :)
Thanks Ann.
ELLEN (Nudgee QLD, Oct 2017)
I was happy to have Ann stay at my house. The house was in good order when I arrived home and the cat was in good condition. I would recommend Ann to anyone wanting a housesit.
JENNY (Mount Gravatt East QLD, Sep 2017 - 1 week 3 days)
Ann was wonderful! From the first contact, to the first very easily organised meeting, she instantly felt like a 'yes' to our family.

ANN (Morningside QLD, Sep 2017 - 1 week 1 day)
Ann was a pleasure to have house and fur sit our babies. Ann is very friendly and always kept us informed of how our babies were doing including photos. Ann also left our place sparkling clean. We would highly recommend her and would have her back anytime.
Thanks Ann!
LEIGH (Coorparoo QLD, Aug 2017)
Ann was polite and approachable from the first encounter. She provided all requested documents and kept in touch regularly prior to and during 'the sit'. We left her with a hefty workload which was considerable for one person but our animals were clearly well cared for. In hindsight, there was too much work for one person and the required gardening tasks were left to our return. However, our dogs were walked despite the rains/storms.

We wish her all the best and thank her again for taking care of our animal family.
TERESA (Chidlow WA, Jul 2017 - 1 month 1 week)
It was a privilege to have Ann house sit for 6 weeks. She is a cat lover and Macca the burmese loved her as much as she loved him. She had to share her bed with him as well as her time.
We arrived home to find a crystal clear pool which had needed her attention on windy and rainy occasions.
Plants, both indoor and undercover outdoor were well watered and maintained.
It was reassuring and appreciated to receive news and photos of Macca once a week while away.
VICKI (Kenmore QLD, May 2017)
We couldn't speak more highly of Ann. Not only were Benny and Mouse crazy about her, but she cleaned our house for our return :):)
LAUREN (Morningside QLD, May 2017 - 1 week 4 days)
We highly recommend Ann. She took care of our house and dog like her own. She has sent us regular updates and photos of MooMoo and the house during her stay. We will not hesitate to call her back in our next holidays.
IMRUL (Forest Lake QLD, Apr 2017 - 1 week 6 days)
Regular SMS updates and photos to let me know how my fur-baby was doing made for a very relaxing and stress-free holiday. Arrived home to fresh flowers, a spotless house and a very happy and healthy cat. Thanks Ann - We'll have you back any time!
RACHAEL (Corinda QLD, Apr 2017)

She looked after our house and cat (Misty) while we were away for the Easter long weekend (4 nights). After placing our add on aussiehousesitters.com.au we got a reply from her that appealed to us.

During our weekend away, Ann sent us a couple of text updates, including a picture of our Misty, which was much appreciated! Upon arrival back home our house was spotless and a very happy Misty greeted us. Misty seemed really at ease with Ann, which is very important to us, and her behaviour at our return told us that she had received a lot of love and attention over the weekend . We will definitely ask Ann to come back in the future!
FANNY AND RICK (Annerley QLD, Apr 2017 - 4 days)
We came home to very happy chooks and quails and a beautifully cared for house and garden. Ann is a lovely person who is an excellent communicator and easy to get in touch with.
MARK (Fairfield QLD, Mar 2017 - 2 weeks 2 days - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Ann I found to be a wonderful friendly lady who provided great service. Ann truly loves cats which is what I was looking for. Thank you Ann for leaving my house looking untouched (very tidy) and also for your little touches such as cleaning my kitchen sink till it was sparkling :-). Much appreciated. Ann also communicated with me while away sending a few texts and photos to reassure me and provided ID since we did not know each other and an extra sense of security. I highly recommend Ann.
