Quality Sitting

70, Retired

We are retired school teachers in our early 70s who are looking for short and longer term stays. We are non smokers who take pride in our house and garden.
We are both active and can walk dogs, cuddle cats, feed birds and chooks as well as keeping your house pristine.
We have completed a number of house sits and have done repeat sits arranged privately. References are available from these owners.
We look forward to new adventures and hearing from you.

Thank you so much Ruth and Ken for looking after our animals and house. We were able to enjoy our overseas holiday without having to worry about anything. We received regular updates and when we returned there was even food in the fridge for the midnight munchies and milk for the morning coffee. We would have you in our house anytime again! And I hope we will :-)

It was our pleasure. I'm sure we will catch up again.
Ruth and Ken took excellent care of our pets and home. They sent photos and took our dog on walks. I came home to a clean house. Ruth was a very good communicator and I felt my dog, cat and home were safe and being looked after well by Ruth and Ken.
 
CAROLINE (Belconnen ACT, Dec 2022 - 1 week 2 days)
Ruth and Ken - The most perfect house sitters! The communication was excellent prior to the sit and during the sit. They messaged us to give updates and sent us some lovely photos of our pups having fun, just what we needed to see. We returned to a clean home (like no one had lived in it) some chocolates/ bottle wine and two very happy pups! If you want a stress-free house sitters - I would highly recommend Ruth and Ken. Thank you for being so lovely and making it all so easy. Hopefully ... MORE

Thanks for your kind words. We enjoyed being there.
Ruth and Ken were very friendly and sociable housesitters. They looked after Harry very well, and watered my garden. I can thoroughly recommend them as a reliable couple to care for house/garden/pets.
 
JUDY (BERRY NSW, Dec 2022 - 2 weeks)
Thanks Judy. It was a pleasure.
How wonderful it was to come home after being almost 6 weeks away to find the place lovely and clean, and a welcome note along with a vase of fresh flowers. And that the bed had been made up so we could have a sleep when the jet lag got to us was also a great relief. These touches can make a big difference - but the best part was about the care of our cat, Portia. Regular reports and updates, with accompanying photos confirmed that Portia was happy and contented and being lovingly looked ... MORE
 
RICHARD (Tweed Heads NSW, Sep 2022 - 5 weeks)
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Ruth and Ken have done an exceptional job in caring for our house over the last 12 weeks. They have been very flexible to suit our arrangements and nothing has been a problem for them. Communication whilst we were away was ongoing on a regular basis. On our return we entered a spotless house that they meticulously maintained and zero maintenance was required from us in the garden - mowing, pruning and garden rubbish removal had all been done. Thanks very much Ruth and Ken for your care and ... MORE
 
PETER (Banora Point NSW, Jun 2022 - 3 months)
We couldn't recommend Ruth and Ken highly enough!! They were so lovely and super easy to communicate with. They made our holiday stress free knowing that Winston was being looked after with such care. When we arrived home a lovely note was left by them and the house was immaculate. Thank you so much Ruth and Ken! We wish you could house sit more often ☺️ Winston misses you guys.
 
ERIN (Burleigh Heads QLD, Sep 2021 - 1 week)
It was a pleasure having Ruth & Ken stay at our place whilst we were away. Communication was fantastic and our Dog, Fish & garden were well looked after. Our house was left spotless. Thank you so much Ruth and Ken, we would love to have you back again. We would highly recommend you to others.
 
WILLIAM (Deagon QLD, Sep 2021 - 1 week)
Thanks Ruth and Ken for looking after our home and our cat Domino. I felt so comfortable on meeting you and had no worries about leaving everything in your capable hands. Great communication and thanks for staying the couple of extra days. I especially loved the photo of Domino curled up on Kens lap. That's when I know someone truly likes cats. Hope to see you again sometime.
 
LEIGH (Brighton Eventide QLD, Mar 2021 - 2 weeks)
Fantastic house sitters who made me feel at ease from our very first conversation. My house was left immaculate, the garden well tendered and my cat happy and healthy. I have no hesitation in recommending Ruth and her husband again. Indeed, I hope they will be available to house sit for me soon. Grab them if you can. Cheers
 
ALISON (Bruce ACT, Jan 2021 - 4 days)
We were so happy that Ruth and Ken agreed to housesit our apartment over Christmas. They were so considerate and treated our apartment so carefully, including our little cat Elaine. We could communicate easily and appreciated their flexibility regarding timing changes due to COVID updates. We returned to a delightful platter in the fridge and a spotless apartment and balconies. I hope Ruth and Ken return to our apartment! Anthea
 
ANTHEA (Turner ACT, Dec 2020 - 3 weeks)
Ruth and Ken were delightful. They took excellent care of our house and cat. The plants and the pool (major leaf magnet) also looked well looked after. All in all a great experience.
 
LOUISE (Nundah QLD, Dec 2019 - 1 week)
Thanks Louise. Would love to housesit again.
Thankyou Ruth & Ken, for your care of our home & particularly of our fur person. All was in order on our return. Many thanks also for your communications, & photo's of Peppy, all was much appreciated. We would certainly welcome you back to sit again.Thankyou.
