Susan & James

Retired

General Manager - Retired

Available from 17th May 2025 as already have prior bookings.

We are experienced house sitters having sat all round Australia/Tasmania, New Zealand and the UK. Even if you don't own a pet, we are almost certain that at some time in your life, you've been touched by the honesty and friendliness. Having had pets ourselves when arriving home, we were always greeted with genuine delight. Pets love their owners unconditionally, so pets are treated with the greatest respect and by this we have their trust almost instantly.

We are both trustworthy treating your pets and property as if it was our own. Your pets and property will be safe and as clean as you left them. Watering weeding mowing lawns pool maintenance or otherwise isn't a problem. James is quite the handy man fixing things and his early years was spent on a farm so rural/remote also considered. Whilst you are away, we send you regular updates and photos of your pets/property to give you that peace of mind.

Police Certificates are available along with references.

Warmest regards Susan & James

We were very grateful to Susan & James for the care given to our 2 small dogs, chickens and property while we were away. They are a lovely friendly couple, who met up with us prior to the housesit and we felt very comfortable with them. Our dogs were very happy being taken for walks, our home was spotless on our return, the dogs were very happy and healthy. The home made lemon curd was delicious, thank you! We would highly recommend Susan and James as trustworthy housitters. Thank you ... MORE
 
INGRID (Paraparap VIC, Oct 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
We were very lucky to have Susan and James look after our little farm and animals while we were away. We came home to happy dogs and a clean house. They even took time to water our new seedlings for our flower farm and James did a great job of lawns on the rideon. We highly recommend Susan and James to anyone looking for kind, caring and reliable House Sitters
 
KIM (Clydesdale VIC, Oct 2024 - 2 weeks)
Susan and James are a lovely and friendly couple. We were extremely happy that our house and 2 dogs were so well taken care of. The dogs were relaxed and enjoyed their company. The house was spotless, and the garden very well maintained. Susan and James were great at communication providing us with regular updates and how the dogs were doing. We returned home to 2 very happy dogs and a house in perfect order. We would thoroughly recommend Sausan and James for house sits and to take good ... MORE
 
BRUNO (Werribee VIC, Sep 2024 - 4 weeks)
Susan and James were absolutely wonderful housesitters, looking after our girls (dogs) so well. The house was left spotless. Susan and James sent us regular updates on how the girls were going. Highly recommended as house and pet sitters ❤️💙
 
MARITA (Suttontown SA, Aug 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
Susan and James were wonderful. Nietzsche was loved, walked and very happy. On our return he still wanted James to take him for his walk. Stock all fed and watered even with machinery break downs. James handled external mechanics to fix problems and enquired when he wasn’t sure. Communication was excellent. Coming home to a home cooked meal was fantastic - thanks Susan Highly recommend Thanks Jennifer and David
 
JENNIFER (Pemberton WA, May 2024 - 2 months)
Susan and James were such fantastic house and pet sitters. Lovely people who were very easy to talk to and I trusted them completely on our week away. The house was clean and tidy on our return and even the bed sheets were washed and replaced! James did an exceptional job in the garden, I barely recognised the place when I got home. He has pruned, blower vacced, moved things around and neatened the garden. What an awesome help. I so appreciated it. The animals were happy and well taken care ... MORE
 
ZOE (Roleystone WA, Jan 2024 - 1 week)
What amazing housesitters Susan and James were. Not only were my pets very well looked after, my pets just adored them. My house was spotless when we returned. James mowed the lawns without us even asking and we were so grateful. If you are lucky enough for this couple to be available and accept your house sit then jump at the chance!!!
 
NICOLE JOHNSON (BUSSELTON WA, Oct 2023 - 3 weeks)
Susan and James were fantastic for us. Fast and clear communication, very pleasant and responsible when we met, and left our house in spotless condition! And that’s before you count how happy the cats were with their company! Would love to have them house sit again.
 
KATE (Wishart QLD, Sep 2023 - 1 week 3 nights)
Very pleased with Susan and James. We had good communication before the sit and a chance to meet before we left. Their care of the house/garden was excellent and of course ensuring our cat was safe and comfortable. They are both clearly respectful of our house and we had complete piece of mind when we were away. Would certainly be happy for Susan and James to sit again, and absolutely recommend them as sitters for others.
 
PHILIP (Edinburgh Scotland, Jul 2023 - 1 week 1 night) From House Sitters UK
Susan and James impressed us right from reading their profile to meeting them via WhatsApp to really meeting them here. They are just amazing and we were so lucky to have them taking care of Duffy and Bosco, tending the garden, doing odd jobs and dealing with the unexpected. I said before they came that nothing could happen that they weren’t up to dealing with and they were certainly tested, dealing calmly and efficiently with several totally unexpected situations we couldn’t have foreseen. ...

HELEN (Shrewsbury England, Jun 2023 - 15 days) From House Sitters UK
James and Susan were fantastic All the animals were looked after well and James did a good job of fixing my broken chook pen door and made the chooks more comfortable with new perches. It was lovely to come home to maintained garden and our happy dog and animals.
 
MICHELLE (Dewars pool Toodyay WA, Apr 2023 - 3 weeks)

LOUISE (Beldon WA, Feb 2023 - 10 days)
We couldn't have wished for better sitters than Susan and James. A lovely couple who we were lucky enough to also spend some time with. Our Violet was spoilt and very well cared for., the house was spotless and the garden in better shape than we left. Big shout out to James for the handyman work, much appreciated.
 
JAMES (Lloyd NSW, Oct 2022 - 3 and a half weeks)
Susan and James are a lovely couple. Communication was outstanding, I received regular photos and updates of my cat. The house was left very clean and tidy and our home was treated respectfully. I would not hesitate to recommend Susan and James to anyone and would be happy to discuss my experience at any time. Heather and John
 
HEATHER (Palmerston ACT, Sep 2022 - 1 week 3 days)
Susan and James are fantastic housesitters. They left the house spotlessly clean, looked after our house and garden perfectly and totally spoilt our animals who I am sure, definitely miss them. Messages and photos were received every day letting us know everything was OK so we could relax and enjoy our holiday. We would love them to come back again and if you are lucky enough to get them to housesit for you, you will not be disappointed.
 
BARBARA (MOUNT TAYLOR VIC, Apr 2022 - 7 weeks)
Susan and James Were fantastic house and pet sitters. Our special dog rusty was given VIP treatment we were given daily updates on his walks and care We would thoughly recommend them.
 
SUE (Warnbro WA, Feb 2022 - 2 weeks)
Being first time users of Aussie Sitters we were unsure of the process and slightly tentative. That was until we were contacted by Susan and James who put any of our concerns to rest. They walked us through the process and made us feel very comfortable leaving the house and cat in their care. Five stars is not enough to show how wonderful this couple are. They took great care of the property, with James doing a bit of DYI to repair a broken gate hinge and even weeding the garden beds. The ... MORE

LYN (Rangeville QLD, Jan 2021 - 1 week)
We recently returned from a month away, during which Sue and James cared for our home and fur babies - Teddy & Nala. We came across Sue and James on Aussie House Sitters and from the very first contact they were very friendly and accommodating. They were able to provide police checks and numerous references. It was the longest we had both been away from our dogs and we wanted to ensure they were cared for by animal loving people. From their first meeting they created a great rapport which ... MORE
