Reliable, Trustworthy and Honest

60, Harvest Worker

Honest - Reliable - Trustworthy. Police Clearance's/Verbal & Written References: Prior to COVID I house sat with my ex partner for 10 plus years, through all the states plus 12 months in the UK.

I am a non-smoker. I am reliable and easy going , fit and young at heart. I have had lots of experience with many animals, domestic and farm over the years, I have been caretaker for motels, farms, small homes and mansions.

Full experience with the maintenance of swimming pools. I am currently settled just outside of Rockhampton, so currently able to do sits within in and around the area.

Don't hesitate to contact me with any inquiry's or questions. I can also email an abundance of references (both character and pet/house sitting) plus my recent (2024) Police Clearance. Verbal references also available if required: I very much look forward to hearing from you.

TRACEY (Cooee Bay QLD, Aug 2024 - 3 nights)
6 star all round for Jo & Mick. We came home to a very clean house and a happy dog (Abby). We couldn't have asked for more. Would highly recommend Jo & Mick for any future house sitting jobs.
 
SUE (Yengarie QLD, Jul 2022 - 3 weeks)
Thanks you. We are in Calliope tonight. Been a while since we've been in the van. x
Jo looked our our 3 fur babies and 6 goldfish while we were away for 2 weeks. I have no doubt she did an amazing job, and the house was left sparkling keen. We briefly me Jo before the house sit and she is a lovely friendly lady. She sent us some pictures of the animals while we were away and kept us informed that everything was going well. I have no hesitation in recommending Jo as a reliable and trustworthy sitter.
 
TANIA (Alice Springs NT, Jul 2020 - 2 weeks)
Thank you so much
Jo and Gary were fantastic sitters. We felt very comfortable with their care of our home and pets and garden and commend them to any hosts. We would have them back any time.
 
NICOLE (Kilaben Bay NSW, Feb 2020 - 1 week)
So easy and lovely to communicate with. Was in contact with us through the stay and when we returned the house was spotless - cleaner than it's been in a long time! I highly recommend Jo and her family, your home will be in very safe hands.
 
KRISTA (Fairy Meadow NSW, Dec 2019 - 2 weeks)
Jo housesitted for us for 1 week during December. My spoodle Ted was very looked after and the house was immaculate when we arrived home. I can't fault Jo and would highly recommend her
 
EMMA (Maroubra NSW, Dec 2019 - 1 week)
Thank you Emma for your review. Please let me know if you are considering going away next year as I would love to return. x
We had a lovely holiday without any worries about home. Jo and Gary left the house spotless and the animals happy if a little fatter than when we left. Highly recommend these two.
 
VICKY (Port Huon TAS, Dec 2018 - 1 week 4 days)
Jo and Gary were fantastic house sitters. As soon as we met them, we were totally comfortable and confident to leave our house and our beloved elderly dog in their care. They kept us up to date, including a lovely photo of our dog Maisy, strolling on the beach. On our return, the house was spotless - I dare say even cleaner than when we left it. We would not hesitate to have Jo and Gary house sit for us again.
 
SOPHIA (Carlton TAS, Nov 2018 - 1 week 6 days)

Great sitters :-D. The cat was happy and the house was spotless. Easy communication. I would happily welcome them back for future sits.
 
MICHAELA (Claremont TAS, Oct 2018 - 4 days)
No rating Gary & Jo have been great. Pussies were well looked after...the most important of any house sit (for us)! Kept in touch with updates for us and left everything was left neat and tidy. Thank you! Gary even did some weeding for us...which is much appreciated! We would recommend Jo & Gary for any house -sit Jay & Norman
NORMAN & JAY (Penna TAS, Aug 2018 - 2 months 1 week)
No rating We were so happy to have Joanne and Gary to look after our 2 large Golden Retriever dogs (one very old and frail) and cat, whilst we flew across to Perth. At our request, they came the day before we left, so we could show them the routine with feeding and where we went for walks etc. They are both so friendly and easy going. Nothing seemed too much trouble and they made contact several times to assure us all was well. We came home to a spotless house and to my surprise, a lovely meal in the ... MORE
RITA & DOUG (Robe SA, May 2018 - 1 week 4 days)
No rating Joanne and Gary looked after our home and pet dog for 5 weeks from late February through to early April 2018. My husband and I are so grateful to them for doing such a great job of looking after our home and pup. Not only did they have to deal with unforeseen maintainence issues with the pool and hot water system but experienced the hottest most humid weather for March on record and to top it off were here when Cyclone Marcus hit Darwin! They dealt with maintainence issues responsibly, timely ... MORE
CAROLE (Nightcliff NT, Feb 2018 - 1 month 1 week)
Joanne and Gary were the ideal house sitters. We met about a month before the sitting period and I instantly trusted them. They are genuine, kind people. They visited our home before we left and met our large dog and he loved them. Even the way they were with my very young son showed they are caring people. Upon our return the house was immaculate, the pool clean and the dog happy and healthy. Jo sent me regular updates which put my mind at ease while we away. Don't hesitate in choosing ... MORE
 
CLARE (Farrar NT, Jan 2018 - 3 weeks)
No rating Joanne and Gary looked after our please as if it was their own, they stayed in touch during our absence and looked after our home and our furbabies as if they were their own. I highly recommend them.
IAN (Bakewell NT, Nov 2017 - 1 month 1 week)
No rating Jo and Gary looked after our 5 acres in Katherine, Northern Territory, for about 6 weeks in Oct/Nov. Anyone who knows anything about the Territory will tell you, the NT is NOT the place to be that time of year. It was HOT, HOT, HOT! They had to look after a horse, dog, cat and a heap of chickens and ducks, as well as maintain a pool and a spa AND keep our plants alive, which is no easy feat that time of year. Thankfully, they coped and everything was a-ok when we got back. Looked like we'd ... MORE
CAROLYN (Katherine NT, Sep 2017 - 1 month 2 weeks)
No rating This was our first experience with Aussie House Sitters and we were extremely happy with all the arrangements. Jo and Gary are a very warm and friendly couple who made the experience stress free and enjoyable. They cared beautifully for our dogs and we returned to an immaculately clean house and a home cooked meal, splendid treats after a long flight. Our dogs were in great health and the garden was flourishing despite heat wave conditions. I really appreciated that they kept in touch ... MORE
RHONDA (Bundaberg West QLD, Aug 2017 - 1 month 2 weeks)
No rating Jo and Gary looked after our home in South West Rocks as well as our puppy and cat for two weeks in May. I found them to be very personable and enthusiastic about house-sitting. We spent a little time with them the day beforehand and left for our holiday feeling relaxed and confident that everything would be taken care of. We arrived back to a lovely, clean home ... the pets were happy, the mail was on my desk, washing done and so much more ... and if you thought that wasn't enough, Jo also ... MORE
DANIELLA (South West Rocks NSW, May 2017 - 2 weeks 2 days)
No rating Jo and Gary looked after my home, dogs and alpacas for 2 weeks and I returned to very happy animals and a pristine home. They are a delight to have as house sitters and have a great work ethic. I highly recommend them.
ANNA (Vineyard NSW, Apr 2017 - 1 week 5 days)
No rating Jo and Gary looked after our home, two fussy cats and garden for a few weeks in March/April 2017. Nothing fazed them (not even the cats) and they left the house beautifully clean. Everything happened on time and as it should, and we recommend them highly. Emile and Shelagh, Mollymook 2539
