Trusted Family with a Passion for Pet Care

38, Designer

48, Photojournalist

We are an honest family based in Brisbane with two caring girls (10 and 13 years old) who adore animals!

We have over nine years of experience in house sitting and 50+ sits under our belt in NZ and AU with excellent references available from past house sits.

About Claire & Ben: We are self-employed independent married professionals and we are both non-smokers and house proud. We both hold current blue cards (working with children cards) and DA cards which both include in-depth international criminal history checks.

We are reliable, friendly, caring and tidy and take pleasure in looking after homes so the owners feel relaxed while they are away.

As we work remotely and being family orientated, we are home at nights and will create a happy, relaxed and warm environment for your pets.

We have had many different pets throughout our lives and we would love to share the joy and memories that animals have given to us to our two girls, whilst showing them the love they give them in return.

Since commencing house sitting we have cared for dogs, cats, cows, sheep, chickens, alpacas, horses, gold fish, various birds, lizards, snakes, pools and gardens.

If there is anything more specific you would like to know, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you,
Claire & Ben

We were so lucky to have Claire, Ben and their lovely family come and stay at our house. They are professionals. The house was immaculate coming home with fresh breakfast items in the fridge and the animals were clean and so happy. Actually they howled for 15 mins after they left. Even the cat looked happy and she doesn’t like anyone. Just lovely, respectful people. Would give 6 stars if l could!

Claire and Ben were great! They looked after our dogs for a long weekend and we came home to a spotless house and a pair of happy dogs.
 
MATTHEW (Belmont QLD, Oct 2024 - 3 nights)
We loved having Claire and Ben take care of our house and dog whilst we were away for the weekend. Claire’s communication was great and the house was spotless when we arrived home. We hope to organise some future sits for upcoming holidays. Recommend!
 
NIKKI (Coomera QLD, Sep 2024 - 2 nights)
Claire and Ben were awesome! Our 30kg puppy Labrador no doubt kept them on their toes, but I can tell he was definitely loved! We received updates on Kevin and a few pics when he was missed! Which helped put us all at ease. The house was sparkling when we arrived home with fresh milk and bread left for us, which was MUCH appreciated. Would definitely have the family back again 🙌🏼
 
RACHAEL (Coolum Beach QLD, Jul 2024 - 6 nights)
Claire and Ben were amazing house sitters. Great communication, took wonderful care of our pets (and sent lots of photos), and also left our home extremely clean and tidy. Would highly recommend
 
JESS (Elanora QLD, Jun 2024 - 3 nights)
Thank you Claire, Ben and family for minding my house and my clan! Meeko, Toby and Amy were all really chilled when I got home and my place was sparkling! Much appreciated :)
 
KAREN (Arana Hills QLD, Mar 2024 - 2 nights)
Big thanks to Claire and family who looked after my dog, cat, chooks and house brilliantly. House was cleaner than left it and animals were really well looked after and missed everyone when they left. Would happily recommend for any house-sit
 
AARON (Chinchilla QLD, Feb 2023 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Claire and Ben and their 2 girls did a fabulous job looking after our house and all of our creatures. It was very nice coming home to a clean house after 4 weeks of travel, we are very grateful for the care given and the milk left in the fridge for a cuppa on our return. Cheers
 
ANJA (Torbanlea QLD, Dec 2022 - 4 weeks)
I had Claire and family house sit for me In September would definitely have them again. Sadie my cat has found some new friends and enjoyed being spoilt thank you for looking after my house and garden whilst I was away.
 
DARREN (Durack NT, Sep 2022 - 2 weeks)
Claire and her beautiful family looked after our home and Benny as of it were their own. Claire kept us updated while we were away, and Benny really enjoyed himself! We came home to some essentials in the fridge which was really lovely, and the girls left a little gift for Benny. The garden and house was very clean and tidy when we returned. They were so thoughtful and kind, would welcome them back anytime.

No rating Claire, Rafael, Tayla and Naomi house sat for us for a week and a half. They looked after our puppy, cat and fish. They did a fantastic job, the house looked amazing when we got home - cleaner than when we left. I would happily recommend them to anyone.
CAROLYN (Northcross, North Island, Jan 2015 - 1 week 2 days) From Kiwi House Sitters
No rating I recently had this wonderful family to house sit and I can say I was truly impressed as I arrived back to a very clean home and healthy and happy pets. To Rafael and Claire, thank you so much for looking after my pets and home so well. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any future house siting assignments.
