We are a trustworthy, kind and caring couple who are active, enjoying the outdoors and all aspects of life.
We are making a lifestyle choice, choosing to retire from our fast paced careers and take an adventure around this beautiful country, enjoying it at a slow pace, taking in what life has to offer, meeting new friends and most importantly being able to care for your pets as we enjoy the fun times and special personalities each new pet we meet brings, they enlighten our life experience. We enjoy being there for the pets, we walk each morning as a daily routine so having the company of a dog or two is great. We have completed 35 housesits over the last 19 months and feel very privileged to have been able to look after so many beautiful pets.

Andrew and Sue Spence
Andrew and Sue were A+ Housesitters. Not only were they lovely to communicate with they provided excellent care to the cats ( I don’t even think the cats had realised the staff swap!) , they left our house in an immaculate condition. I would welcome them back anytime.
Andrew and Sue were simply marvellous! We received regular reports on how our pet Pepe was doing and even got photos and videos. We knew how well Pepe was cared for and that our house was in good hands. This was certainly confirmed on our return. Pepe was happy and looked good, the house was spotless and the garden green. Thanks so much Andy and Sue for allowing us to have a hassle free holiday!
Can not thank Andrew and Sue for both housesitting and looking after our large dog and cat.
They did a fantastic job being attentive to our fur babies.
Our dog I believe is missing their company when they left. Looking around the house for them.
Came back to a spotless house.
Highly recommend them.
Thanks again
Susan and Cas
Sue and Andrew where just amazing. They cared for our dog Tilly very well they treated her like she was their own. Came back to a very clean house. Would definitely use them again.
We couldn’t have been more pleased to have had Sue and Andrew as house/pet sitters. From the first communication everything was seamless. They had the opportunity to do a presit visit which allowed all parties to feel comfortable with the arrangement. The dogs loved them, the house and garden were in perfect condition on our return. They supplied us with just the right amount of updates to keep in touch but not overburden our holiday. We feel very lucky to have had them. Thanks for a ... MORE
Thank you so much Sue and andrew for looking after our home, dogs, chickens, fish, finches and plants!
Couldn’t be happier, all the animals perfectly content
We came home to a spotless house, no mean feat given the rain and muddy dog feet!
We would love to have you come back if your plans allow
Highly recommend Andrew & Sue to look after your home, gardens, pool & especially your pets.
We were kept informed how our elderly dogs were tracking & arrived home after nearly 4 weeks with everything looking better then when we left.
Andrew and Sue were superb house sitters. Their communication was excellent and took amazing care of our home and dog Charlie. They even left us a gift and gorgeous card handmade by Sue. I would be very happy for them to take care of our home anytime!
What can we say that hasn’t been said before about Andrew and Sue. They were absolutely wonderful and our dog is missing them now. The communication leading up to the Housesit was excellent as well as while we were away. The house was cleaner when we got home then when we left. I would have no hesitation in recommending them for anyone else needing warm caring and reliable housesitters. Thanks again Sue and Andrew.
Another epic home run with pet sitters! Andrew and Sue are amazing. Our dogs took to them at no time at all. It was obvious they got the gold standard of TLC which we are so grateful for as gone for 3 weeks. They were both super relaxed when we got home, it’s always a good sign. Sue and Andrew were exceptional communicators. We loved the daily vids and updates. Took great care of our home. Loved the unexpected gift on arrival. If Sue and Andrew are free for your dates quickly lock ... MORE
Andrew & Sue were the ideal housesitters. They are a very friendly couple whom I had the opportunity to meet prior to the actual housesit booking. Meeting them gave me absolute confidence in them looking after my pets and my home. Throughout my absence they communicated regularly with me, providing lovely updates on my pets. On my return, my home was probably in a better state than how I'd left it. And to top it all off they'd left a beautiful hand made gift. If I could rate them out of 10, ... MORE
Andrew and Sue were fantastic sitters. They took great care of our dog Dexter and 2 cats. Their communication was excellent and we came home to a beautiful clean house and content and well looked after pets. Would definitely recommend.
We met Andrew and Sue before we went away and already knew that we were leaving our pets and house in the best of hands. They sent us update photos during our trip and were always responsive and easy to communicate with. We arrived home after a 10 day trip to be greeted by happy cats, well cared for chickens and quails, a beautifully clean house, even the sheets were changed and some kind gifts and a card. What a lovely arrival. We would recommend Andrew and Sue highly. I know they are already ... MORE
Andrew & Sue were great house sitters! They had fantastic communication, left our guest house clean & tidy as well as looking after our beautiful cocker spaniels, going above & beyond to take them for walks even in the rainy weather.
We wouldn’t hesitate to have Andrew & Sue house sit for us again!
Sue and Andrew were a perfect couple to have stay in our home and take care of our pet fish, chooks and cat. We received updates from them each day, so we weren’t worried about how everyone was getting on. The house was so clean and tidy when we walked in and smelt so fresh. Our boy cat was asleep when we walked into the house and when he woke he was so relaxed. Sue embroidered some lovely flowers onto a tea towel they had bought us. We were completely happy with everything they took care ... MORE
We were so very fortunate to find Sue and Andrew to housesit for us while we were away. They are a lovely couple who went above and beyond in every way. They updated us daily with a message and photo of Polly and Scruffy and when we came home we found 2 happy, stress free dogs and an immaculately clean house. We cannot thank them enough for helping us out. We will certainly be looking out to see if they are available next time we go away!
Simply the best we cannot recommend Sue and Andrew highly enough.
Opi was so well looked after I know he has been missing Sue and Andrew as he was so well treated.
Our home was immaculate everything was perfect.
We would have Sue and Andrew back in a heartbeat it made going away so much more relaxed knowing all was good at home.
So glad we found you.
Sue and Andrew looked after our house and our 12-year- old Maltese Terrier, Buddy, for 13 days while we enjoyed a long-awaited cruise. We were so lucky to have two such wonderful people to house sit for us.
They kept us informed with messages, and photos and videos of Buddy, which really put our minds to rest. When we arrived home, we found the house, gardens and Buddy all extremely neat, tidy and very clean. Sue and Andrew visited us prior to the time to get an idea of where everything is ... MORE
Andrew and Sue were easy to deal with and even came to meet our dogs beforehand. The dogs were well-looked after and Sue sent pictures and videos of them playing while we were away. When we returned from our trip the house was immaculate and Sue, a fashion designer, had even left a hand-embroidered gift. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.
Andrew and Sue were fantastic to deal with and to have staying at my place. They were fruendly, caring, great with communication, reliable, trustworthy, loving towards my dog, and they left the house perfectly clean and tidy. They stayed in touch with messages and sending photos and videos and I could see that my dog was enjoying their cuddles and company. They made the effort to come around to meet in person before the sit, which further shows their commitment.
I highly reccomend Andrew and ... MORE
Andrew and Sue were excellent guardians of our home and animals while we were on holidays for a week. We have a dog, cat, ferret and new puppy so I'm sure it wasn't easy to cope with the demands of or menagerie but Andrew and Sue were capable, kind and caring. We returned home to an immaculate house and happy animals.
It was with great pleasure that we welcomed Andrew and Sue into our home and to our pet family of 1 dog and 5 cats! All we can say is WOW - they were fantastic! They kept our home immaculate and all of the animals became their friends. The communication from them was fantastic and a real peace of mind that our fur babies were receiving the best of care. Dog walking, cat petting, feeding and love came in abounds. It was a reassuring every step of the way and so wonderful to come home to a clean ... MORE
Andrew and Sue were fantastic! From the first (zoom) communication to the end of their time at our house, we knew our dogs and house were in great hands! We were able to truly relax and enjoy our holiday as we knew our dogs were getting daily walks, lots of pets and were being loved by Andrew and Sue. When we came back, our house was immaculate, our dogs were happy and they had left us a thoughtful card and gift, even though they were doing US a huge favour. We are very thankful to have found ...

Andrew and Sue were very reliable and thoughtful housitters. They took such good care of our cat Bella, sending us photos, and were very respectful of the house. They even left us a personalised hand towel made by Sue. Such a lovely touch. We'd definitely recommend them and would ask them again to sit.
Andrew and Sue were amazing house and pet sitters for us. Our dog seemed so happy and calm on our return, and was well loved and walked each day. We came back to a house even cleaner than what we left it and Sue had gone to the effort to fix a broken curtain in our lounge. We could not be happier with them. I would highly recommend them to anyone on this site looking for quality house/pet sitters.
With a house sitter looking after your pets, house and garden - you can really relax. Happy days.
