Toni D

71, Retired

I am a non-smoking fit 71 year old retiree from Brisbane, with 36 years' experience caring for cats and dogs as part of our family. Very occasionally, my husband house sits with me but I am happy to house sit solo. We have used house-sitters to care for our pets in our own house on several occasions so we understand the needs of pets and pet owners. We figure animals are always happier and more secure in their own environment so in the past we have juggled trips away around availability of house-sitters. Having travelled a lot, we are always respectful of other people's property. We do not currently have any animals as our last cat passed away a few years ago aged 20. Being retired, I/we can be flexible around sitting arrangements.

We were very pleased to find Toni on the Aussie House Sitters site. We felt instantly comfortable with her when she came for an initial visit and could tell that our precious Cat felt the same, as our cat is normally quite shy around people she doesn't know! During the sit Toni communicated with us by text. Toni is a self reliant person meaning we could enjoy our time away without any worries. Returning to the house was a real pleasure. We were greeted by a very contented cat. Our home was ... MORE

Toni house sat for us, minding our dear old cat Pepsi . She was very easy to communicate with and accommodating of our needs, even looking after my fledgling Bonsai plants. We were glad to have her and appreciate her helping us out.

Toni looked after our dog Harvey very well. He was walked every day. We came home to a spotless house and would definitely recommend her as a house sitter.

Toni was excellent in her communication with us before, during and after her stay. We returned to a very contented cat and a clean tidy house. Would love to have Toni sit for us again.

Thank you Toni and Simon for coming to stay at reasonably short notice and for taking good care of Patsy and my home and garden. Everything was spotlessly clean on my return and Patsy a very happy pussy-cat. I certainly hope you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again very soon.

CAMERON (Auchenflower QLD, Jan 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
I really appreciated the care that Toni gave to Coco and also keeping me updated with text and photos. He was very contented without me. Toni also left my apartment in excellent condition. Both Coco and I would welcome Toni back again.
 
MARY (Brisbane QLD, Nov 2023 - 6 nights)
Toni was a pleasure to deal with. She communicated clearly and promptly prior to and throughout the house sit. She left the house looking extremely clean and tidy and Sadie was well looked after throughout. Even with a minor mishap (a gate blew off in strong wind), Toni was responsive and able to quickly find a solution which was greatly appreciated. Would highly recommend Toni as a fantastic house sitter.

Toni is an exceptional pet and house sitter. Toni communicates well and always leaves the house clean and tidy. Our dog is always very well looked after and very happy when we return.

Toni took great care of the house, and we got home to a very contented dog who had clearly been well looked after.
 
MARGARET (Ashgrove QLD, Aug 2023 - 2 nights)
Toni and Simon were wonderful house-sitters. They took great care of our house and pets, sending updates and photos regularly, leaving us to enjoy our holiday. They visited us before the house-sit and it was lovely to get to know them and see the kind way they interacted with our kitten and puppy before we left. This was our first time using a house sitter and we were grateful to have such experienced sitters. Highly recommended!
 
KIRSTEN (Red Hill QLD, Jun 2023 - 4 days)
Toni and Simon were very organised and easy to contact with good communication on how the sit went (my cats are very shy). I could tell when we met that my cats would be comfortable with them there. They didn't mind that our garage door stopped working right before they came and they had to park outside, and were considerate enough to check that we were on our way home on our final day - and sure enough our flight was delayed by fog and they kindly left the keys with a neighbour in case we ...

ANN (Parrearra QLD, Jun 2023 - 3 days)
Toni minded my house and pets for a week, and very obligingly returned for a few days again later on. She was keen to meet up beforehand, which I appreciated, and communicated well. I also appreciated that Toni lives close by, indicating that she houses sits for pleasure and may be able to sit again sometime!
 
YVONNE (Sinnamon Park QLD, May 2023 - 1 week)
Again we were thrilled when Toni and Simon responded to our ad to look after Mica and our house. It's always hard to leave your pet but we were comforted and delighted by Mica's recognition and excited welcome when they arrived. Our house was left in pristine condition and thankfully Toni "forgot" her home-made banana cake!

Having Toni do a sit for us was a breeze. She communicated readily and was on-the-ball with everything. We wouldn't hesitate to have Toni come stay again and recommend her to others :)

HELEN (Indooroopilly QLD, Aug 2022 - 3 weeks)
Thank you Toni and Simon for taking such good care of Mica and our house. We were delighted by the manner in which you allayed my usual concerns about taking care of our Mica. She was at peace with you both and it was a treasure receiving regular pics of her daily walks as well as reports on her condition. The house was well looked after and on our return, I was amazed at its cleanliness and order. We would have no hesitation in inviting you both to look after Mica and thoroughly recommend you ...

Toni was fantastic! From first contact to the end of the house sit Toni has been amazing, fast and courteous communication, regular updates of our Frankie and nothing too much trouble. We had total peace of mind which meant we were able to enjoy our break. Would definitely recommend Toni and will be using her for future holidays! Thank you Toni!

House Security

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
