Hello! 👋🏼

We’re Ruben and Laura! A newly married couple who love to travel and love animals! We’ve always had little jobs looking after friend’s pets while they’ve been away and we thought we’d love to turn it into an actual gig! We especially love to look after dogs, cats and fish! We look forward to looking after your beautiful little family member too! We can't wait to hear from you :)

Laura and Ruben are completely amazing house and pet sitters and I highly recommend them to anyone. I was a little nervous as it was my first time leaving Apple, my pup, with house sitters, but there's no need to worry with Laura and Ruben- they are so friendly, caring, respectful, and looked after Apple like she was their own. They are very professional, we met up twice before the sit and they kindly sent updates and photos while I was away. After I'd returned home and we'd said our ... MORE
 
KATIE (Hornsby NSW, Jul 2024 - 2 weeks)
Thanks for the lovely review Katie! We loved looking after Apple, we’d be happy to anytime! 😊
Laura and Ruben were the perfect house sitters for us and our two dogs (cavoodle and a very active cocker spaniel) during our 5 week overseas trip. They were amazing in every respect and we’d have them back in an instant!
 
MELISSA (Lindfield NSW, Mar 2024 - 1 month 1 week)
Thanks for the review Melissa! 😊
Laura and Ruben were kind and responsive while we were away until the day of our return. They maintained regular communication, providing photos and some updates on our pets but failed to communicate home-related issues promptly. They took reasonable care of our cats but overfed one (despite clear instructions) and did not inform us that the other was very stressed. Additionally, the condition of our home upon our return was not as expected. They only informed us on the day of our return that ... MORE
 
SALMA (Turramurra NSW, Dec 2023 - 4 weeks)
It was very disappointing to read your review Salma, especially as the negative comments are untrue. But we have already discussed this privately, and we honestly feel no need to continue this conversation. We pride ourselves in looking after homes and animals and taking care of them as if they ...

I would recommend Laura and Ruben. They came to visit before we left so that we could met them and they could met our fur babies. They reassured me that they were reliable and would not pull out of the sit. They kept in regular contact with photos and videos of our pets and made me feel comfortable that they were doing a great job looking after them. They also watered my plants well! They left the house very clean and tidy and even washed the sheets and remade the bed so it was ... MORE
 
ABBEY (Belrose NSW, Dec 2023 - 2 weeks 5 nights)
Aw thanks Abbey! It was an absolute pleasure! 😊
I recently had the pleasure of having Laura and Reuben look after my house and beloved dog while I was away on holiday, and I couldn't be more pleased with their service. What truly sets Laura & Reuben apart is their reliability and communication. Throughout my holiday, they provided regular updates, including photos of my dog, which gave me immense peace of mind knowing everything was going smoothly back home. Their professionalism, trustworthiness, and genuine kindness make them exceptional ... MORE
 
SEYAN (Turramurra NSW, Nov 2023 - 5 nights)
Thank you for your very kind review Seyan, it was so nice to meet you all! We’d gladly look after Wilson again! 😊
Laura and Ruben were excellent sitters. They sent regular updates about our pets and really made an effort to bond with them. Our cat had become ill shortly before we left to go away and required medication, they had no trouble or concern with administering this. They took good care of our home and left everything clean and tidy. Would happily have them sit for us again.
 
HELEN (Normanhurst NSW, Sep 2023 - 3 weeks)
Thanks Helen, we really enjoyed our stay with Luci and Delilah 😊
Laura and Ruben were perfect house sitters. They cared for our elderly dog so well , giving us regular updates with photos and videos . The house was clean and tidy and our outside pot plants looked healthy and watered . We were very happy to leave our home and dog in their capable hands snd would highly recommend them to others . Regards , Fiona and Greg
 
FIONA (Eastwood NSW, Aug 2023 - 4 weeks)
Thanks Fiona! It was a pleasure for us to stay in your home and to look after Lily! 😊
Laura and Ruben were great! They looked after our dog Ollie for a week and took very good care of him. They came over twice to meet us and Ollie, which we really appreciate. Their communication was great and they also sent us regular updates while we were away. Our dog looked pretty happy when we got back and they left our home very clean. I'd love to have them sit for us again and would 100% recommend them to others! :)
 
SHRI (North Ryde NSW, Aug 2023 - 1 week)
Thanks so much for the review Shri! We loved looking after Ollie and it was great to meet you guys!
Laura and Ruben were magnificent sitters. They looked after our cat, Kali, and apartment for 2 weeks without any issues. Their communication was great - they came over before we left to meet Kali and get a run down of our place and also sent us regular updates while we were away. Our cat was relaxed and happy when we got home and they left our place spotless which was wonderful to come home to after a long flight. I'd happily have them sit for us again and would recommend them to others :)
 
SHAMONA (Petersham NSW, Aug 2023 - 1 week 6 nights)
Thanks so much Shamona! It was an absolute pleasure to look after Kali! She became a real little companion for Ruben and I and she was so playful and affectionate! It was such a lovely stay in this apartment, it was located next to many great cafes and restaurants. Communication was open and we ... MORE
Laura and Ruben were fantastic house sitters. They were communicative, responsible, and very tidy. We came back to a house where our dog was clearly loved and cared for and our home was spotless. Would highly recommend them as house sitters. Thanks again for taking care of our home, our beloved dog and fish, and placing our minds at ease while we were away.

It was a pleasure! We’d be happy to look after Otto and the fish anytime! 😊
