Retired teacher

Retired police officer

We are an energetic couple enjoying life, travelling in our caravan when not at home in Port Macquarie New South Wales Australia. You can be sure we will look after your fur babies and home and garden as if they were our own. We have experience with pool maintenance and dog and cat owners in the past. We are happy to stay in our caravan if space is available and water and power provided or we will just come by car and stay in your home.

Our working history is as a policeman and teacher so you can be sure of our reliable and honest characters. Give us a call, you won't be disappointed. We are able to provide references, police checks etc.

Kenn loves his bike riding, golf and is a semi professional musician playing at caravan parks, clubs and hotels. Julie enjoys reading, WASJIG jigsaws, computer games. playing bridge and gardening.

We have completed return sits and sits that haven't been logged but would be happy to provide references from thise via phone.

Julie & Kenn - THANK YOU. Julie & Kenn sat for us while we headed overseas for 3 weeks. They came for a visit beforehand and our boys took an instant liking to them. We left on our holiday knowing our boys will be well looked after. We got plenty of happy snaps (mainly of the three boys) enjoying an afternoon nap together on the recliner. When we returned Julie & Kenn provided an evening meal for us which was most welcomed due to our extended longer than 24 hr day. They also gave ... MORE

Thank you for such kind words. Helping you was privilege and we look forward to returning in the future.
Great sitters, great people. Looked after our "Nelson" and house as if it was their own. Highly reccommended.
 
JIM (Bundeena NSW, Dec 2023 - 1 week 5 nights)
Thanks Jim. We did get to love Nelson so give him a hug from us. Cheers and best wishes for 2024.
Julie and Kenn lookrd after our home and our - at times, troublesome - cats for a week. They are fantastic sitters and I wouldn't hesitate to ask them to sit again. We returned to a very clean home, laundry done, a delicious meal and happy cats. Communication was excellent before and during the sit. We received regular photos of the cats during the week which helped ease the anxiety of being away from them. Paul and I really appreciate the kindness and generosity towards us, Olly and ... MORE
 
MEGAN (Bargara QLD QLD, Jul 2023 - 1 week)
Thanks Megan and Paul for your review. We loved helping and hope to see you again one Friday night while we are here in Bargara. Cheers julie and Kenn.
Julie and Kenn were fantastic house and pup sitters. We came home to a spotless home, very content dog, folded washing, cut grass and a home cooked meal! It doesn't get much better than that. We received daily communication about how Wilbur our dog was and updates on our home. I would recommended Julie and Kenn in a heartbeat and hope to welcome them back here in the future. Thank you
 
EMMA (Bargara QLD, Jun 2022 - 1 week 1 day)
Thank you so much. Give Wilbur a hug from us. We are here until mid Sept if you need help again with him or even babysitting Eva. Cheers Julie and Kenn.
Julie and Kenn completed a house sit for us between late April and late June 2021. From our very first conversation with them they were very friendly and keen to provide the support and security we sought for our house while we were away caravaning. Julie and Kenn maintained regular contact with us and kept us informed regarding the house, yard, neighbours and mail. The lawn was regularly mown, including a final cut just before we arrived home. The house was cared for as if it was their own ... MORE
 
DAVID (Tweed Heads South NSW, Apr 2021 - 2 months)
It was wonderful having Julie and Kenn living in our house and taking care of our wee dog. The dog was spoilt rotten and the house and garden were maintained and cared for in a good fashion. Julie left us a pasta sauce for our first meal which was delicious and quite unexpected but so appreciated. I would not hesitate recommending this couple to look after you home and let's. We I'll certainly be asking for them in the future. Thank you both very much.
 
VICKI AND JOHN (Grange SA, Jan 2020 - 1 month 3 weeks)
Thank you. If the stars align we would be happy to return also. Cheers Julie and Kenn
Julie and Kenn were our first ever house-sitters an have set the bar VERY VERY high! They put our minds at ease about leaving our two fur babies. They looked after our house as if it were there own. I would highly recommend using Julie and Kenn as house-sitters! They are amazing and both lovely people!
 
SARAH (Pimpama QLD, May 2019 - 4 days)
Thank you Sarah and Daniel. It was a pleasure meeting you and the fur babies. Will definitely call in if in the area and please contact us if we can help in the future. Cheers. Julie and Kenn.
Highly recommended!

Thank you. As I said: We arrive as strangers and leave as friends. Julie and Kenn
We could not have had a better house sitter. Julie and Kenn looked after our two cats and garden like they were their own. They kept us updated during our 2 week trip and when our cat was unwell were quick to contact us and took him to the vets for treatment. They went over an above what we expected and would absolutely share our house with them again. They are an extremely lovely, thoughtful and generous couple. Thanks Julie & Kenn!!!
 
PAULA & STEVE (Yarraville VIC, Dec 2018)
Thank you. Hope to see you again sometime. Julie and Kenn
Julie and Kenn were excellent house sitters and took such good care of our fur baby Ruby. We got regular updates and pictures of Ruby while we were away. I reckon she had just as good a holiday as us on all her little adventures with Julie and Kenn. Nothing was too much trouble for Julie and Kenn and they offered to help with whatever they could. We will definitely be calling on them again for our next trip. Thanks again
 
DENISE (Manly West QLD, Jul 2018 - 4 weeks)
Thanks Julie and Kenn for not only looking after our pets but the home and gardens too. You relived our separation anxieties with your frequent updates and photos of our pups. To come home to a clean home with a cooked meal in the fridge too was awesome after a 20hr journey and Kenn going that extra mile mowing our huge lawns with a push mower removed that task for me on our return. Again thanks for the parting gift and you guys are the real aussiehomesitters and wish you well on your next ... MORE
 
KIRK (Craignish / Hervey Bay QLD, Jun 2018 - 3 weeks)
Julie and Kenn are truly wonderful pet and house sitters, who took the very best care of our furkids. The furkids were our priority. Kenn and Julie showed so much love towards them which was obvious in Buddy and Sammy's faces in the photos that were shared. We hope to have them return to our home, not only as house sitters, but as friends. We and Buddy and Sammy cannot thank them enough.
 
GAYLE (Gooburrum QLD, May 2018 - 1 week 5 days)
Julie and Kenn "cat-sat" our cat Princess for nearly three weeks, during March 2017. It was a pleasure dealing with both Julie and Kenn; as they were reliable and accountable, they did what they said they would. We came back to happy and content cat, tidy house and extra special treats. During our time away, Julie took photos and gave us updates via FB, which was very much appreciated. I would be happy to recommend Julie and Kenn to future house owner, looking for a pet-sit, while away. ... MORE
