67, Retired

70, Retired

Thom and I are full time travellers in our retirement and completed our lap around this wonderful country in 2018/2019. Prior to our retirement we lived for 12 years in the beautiful Wynnum/Manly bay area of Brisbane. We love our nomadic lifestyle and hope to secure house/pet sits along the way as we take our time exploring our own back yard.

We are a responsible couple who have owned and rented homes in the past and we are well aware of what is required to maintain a property. We are both experienced with pets and between us we have owned, loved and cared for dogs, cats, birds, chickens, horses, steers, ducks & geese. To date we have completed 52 house/pet sits and many of these have been repeat sits. We will follow your instructions and will not leave your home or pets unattended for any long periods of time. Your pets will be loved and cared for as if they were our own and will receive lots of love and attention while you are away. We love to keep a clean and tidy home and will treat your home and belongings with the greatest respect.

Thom is 70 and I am 67, prior to retirement Thom worked as a courier and I worked in banking administration. We are both non-smokers, we are reasonably fit for our age and do not travel with pets.

We are also registered with another house/pet sitting web site and can provide the web address so you can see our reviews online. Reviews for house/pet sits obtained via Facebook and repeat house/pet sits are available in email format.

We do travel with our caravan and need approximately 9x3 metres and 3 metres in height to be able to park it safely.

Please note we are not available for the below dates due to confirmed house/pet sits already in place. We also prefer house/pet sit for a minimum of 4 weeks out to several months.

Julie and Thom are the ultimate house sitters! They looked after the house and dogs as if they were their own, Any issue they dealt with like fixing a leaking pipe and getting more food for the chooks. They lived in the house and made the dogs feel at home including letting them lie on the couch when Thom watched TV. Nothing was a problem and they sent regular updates so we were totally at ease while away. We look forward to having them back again if we are away.
 
RONALD (Chinchilla QLD, Jun 2024 - 1 month 2 weeks)
Thank you Sally & Ronald for the lovely review, we certainly would love to sit for you again if the opportunity arises. We will miss the girls but we carry with us some great memories of them.
Julie and Thom were fantastic house sitters. We came home from overseas to a very happy and healthy Kelpie who steals every house sitters heart, along with a beautiful healthy garden. Our chooks, birds and fish were also well looked after. Even though they chose to stay in their caravan and not our house, it was left beautifully clean and smelling divine. I would highly recommend them to everyone!
 
SHARON (INVERELL NSW, Mar 2024 - 2 weeks 3 nights)
House was left lovely and neat upon our return. Kept in contact before the sit and while we were away. Checked in on my elderly mother who lives at the back and took her bins in and out as required. Very happy with the service they provided.
 
ANGELA (31 Poole Rd, Fernvale QLD, Aug 2023 - 3 weeks)
Thank you Angela and Kim for your kind review and for the opportunity to care for your lovely home and adorable pets while you were away. We had lots of fun with Tess and Rlo, though Tess could be exhausting at times and have some great photos of the cheeky pair to cherish. Cheers Julie & Thom
We were exceptionally happy with Julie and Thom as our house sitters Not only were they exceptional at looking after our property they went beyond our expectations with our home and garden but more so with our chickens. We left them with one very sick chicken and Thom, “The Chicken Whisperer “ nursed her back to health We would not hesitate in recommending them and inviting them back for further housesits Rene and Greg Riverbend 4280 6/5/2023
 
RENE AND GREG (Jimboomba (Riverbend) QLD, Mar 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
Thank you Rene & Greg for your kind review. We had such a lovely time and loved looking after the girls, especially Rosie. We hope with each day she gets stronger and stronger. Please keep in touch so we know how she is going. Cheers Julie & Thom
Thom & Julie are kind, reliable, honest and friendly. They are great house sitters. Our house was lovely and clean when we arrived home. They truly loved our dogs and spoilt them rotten. Nelson is lost without his special pats and scratches (and treats!!!) The communication from them leading up to and during our sit was amazing. We received lots of lovely photos too, thanks. We would recommend Thom & Julie and look forward to having them back again in Dec 2023
 
WAYNE (Moree NSW, Dec 2022 - 1 month 3 weeks)
Thank you Wayne & Kylie for the lovely review, we will certainly drop in before we leave Moree to say goodbye and to give Nelson his farewell hugs. Cheers Julie & Thom
Julie and Thom did a wonderful job caring for our home and our dog during our recent holiday. Communication was great throughout. They sent regular updates and photos of our puppy, and even came for a pre-sit visit to meet us and our dog, Gracie. On returning home, Thom and Julie had purchased basic groceries and food for our dinner, as we were returning late. Very thoughtful and much appreciated after a full day of travel. Our house and garden were clean and tidy, and our dog was very well ... MORE
 
GREG AND JACI (Hervey Bay QLD, Oct 2022 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Thank you Jaci & Greg for your lovely review, Gracie was such a darling to look after and we miss that sweet face of hers. We hope she is back to her usual bouncing self. Cheers Julie & Thom
Julie and Thom are great housesitters. The animals loved them and would have been happy to pack their bags and follow them! The house and garden were well looked after and we would invite Julie and Thom to house sit as many times as they can fit in!
 
ANNE (Stanthorpe QLD, Mar 2022 - 3 weeks)
Many thanks Anne & Andy for the lovely review, we are missing the girls already. It's always sad to say goodbye but we have some lovely photos of them. We hope we can sit for you again.. Cheers Julie & Thom
Julie and Thom were fantastic house sitters. They really cared for our two dogs Reggie and Teddie and sent weekly photos and updates. The house was spotless when we arrived back home and they went out of their way to make sure everything ran smoothly while we were away. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for great house sitters. We will definitely have them back the next time we go away.
 
KATRINA (Lockyer QLD, Jul 2021 - 1 month 2 weeks)
Many thanks Katrina & Kym for your lovely review. We already miss Reggie & Teddie but we have some wonderful photos of the boys to enjoy.
Wow just wow! Julie and Thom are fantastic! Their communication was outstanding, their care for our home was amazing and the love & care they showed for our two dogs was so special. They brought them treats & balls, I'm worried our dogs will want to leave with them � They are truly amazing house sitters. I can not recommend Julie & Thom enough. I hope your visit us again guys. Safe travels
 
SAMANTHA (Emerald QLD, Dec 2020 - 2 weeks)
Thank you Samantha for your wonderful review. We loved our time with Charlie & Jacko and your beautiful home with ducted air con was a treat when temperatures were in the high 30's over Christmas/New Year. We would certainly love to sit again for you. Cheers Julie & Thom
ulie and Thom took fabulous care of our chooks and cats. We were constantly sent updates and photos which was especially appreciated once our baby chickens hatched.. Gardens and yard were watered and it was great to know that they were around to keep an eye one our place. Would highly recommend Julie and Thom and will definitely keep in touch for further stays.
 
GEN (Biloela QLD, Jun 2020 - 1 week 5 days)
Thank you Genevieve for your great review, we absolutely loved our stay at your property. We will certainly miss Sizzle and Milo and of course the hens, rooster and new chickens. We took many photos so they will always be with us. We would love the opportunity to sit for your again sometime in ... MORE
Wow... what can I say Julie and Thom were the most amazing house sitters.. they looked after our pets with great care and attention sending regular updates and letting me know how they are going .. they went out of their way to take extreme pride in our home and look after it as if it were there own ...

Thank you Fiona for the wonderful review, we loved looking after CJ, Esme, Gus & Jett and will miss them heaps. We took some great photos so we will never forget them. Cheers Julie & Thom
We were thrilled with their care and preparation for the house -sit at our little cottage. Julie and Thom are impeccable house-sitters and we cannot recommend them more highly. Reliable, kind affectionate with the pets, and completely diligent. Great problem solvers.! (It was very wet after bad drought.) We could not have asked for more clear communication: great photographs'; regular texts and any queries were kind, experiebced, and excellently communicated to us on our overseas ... MORE
 
JEAN-MARC (Wynnum North QLD, Feb 2020 - 18 days)
Thank you Jean-Marc and Jane for the wonderful review. We were so happy that ChouChou and Speckle finally accepted as as extended family and that we were able to give ChouChou lots of love and attention before our sit ended. It was also wonderful to see Speckle get excited over the live meal ... MORE
