I can't speak highly enough of Graham as a house sitter. We don't have pets so the task was to care for the house and maintain the garden, which Graham did with great commitment. We already had a very good feeling about leaving our place in Graham's care for three months after we spoke on the phone, but felt even more reassured when we met him the day before we left. He is very personable and has an easy, relaxed manner. He is experienced and professional in his approach to the tasks involved ... MOREI can't speak highly enough of Graham as a house sitter.

He is very personable and has an easy, relaxed manner. He is experienced and professional in his approach to the tasks involved in the sit. We left on our overseas trip feeling very confident that our place was in good hands. Graham communicated regularly with us with photos and updates. We returned home to an immaculately clean house and lovely tidy garden. We highly recommend Graham to anyone looking for a sitter.

Graham just loved my dogs , you could tell from the first second off arriving at the house, and my little babies just loved him,, they loved the affection they received and were well looked after, I came home to a spotless house , Tidier and cleaner than I left it, I think!! .Thankyou so much Graham for caring for Poppet and Sally and my home. I hope you are available again to come for another sit, I know my two babies will love it.
JANET (Ulmarra NSW, Aug 2024 - 3 weeks)
Graham was great house sitter. Our pets were well cared for even though Coco the cat remained standoffish. The almost dead flowers in a vase were replaced with "locally sourced" ones and the linen used had been washed and was drying on the line when we returned.
Graham sent updates complete with photos of our pets which was great. He even managed an hours long blackout without a complaint.
I would certainly recommend Graham highly.
SUE (Coraki NSW, Jul 2024 - 1 week)
Graham provided excellent care for our aging cat Rhanni who can be fairly high maintenance these days! We loved being kept updated with photos and texts. We returned to a spotless home and cared for garden. Graham was easy to communicate with and willing to be flexible with arrangements. We would be more than happy to highly recommend Graham for any future house sits.
KIM (Woolgoolga NSW, Jan 2024 - 2 weeks)
Graham was fantastic! We first had a meet and greet and then he looked after our home, 2 dogs and fish for 2 weeks while we were away. This was the first time we had used a sitter so were quite apprehensive but Graham was great! He kept up us to date every couple of days and sent photos of our dogs who we were missing terribly. He looked after our house, kept it clean and tidy and did the washing. I would highly recommend Graham and hope to have him sit for us again sometime.
DEBORAH (Coffs Harbour NSW NSW, Dec 2023 - 1 week 6 nights)
Graham was fabulous and even took 4 hours screwing together a set of shelves that were delivered here. Would recommend.
JULIE (Arrawarra NSW, Dec 2023 - 6 nights)
This was our first experience with a house sitter. We whole heartedly thank Graham for having made this a positive one. He is highly experienced in house sitting and a great animal lover. Graham communicates promptly and is very considerate of house owners and their pet care needs. We have no hesitation in recommending Graham to other owners and thank him again for the care and consideration to us, our home and our pets.
DANIELA (Thora NSW, Dec 2023 - 1 week 5 nights)
Graham was amazing!!!! he took such great care of the dogs they are still looking for him around the house. Graham's communication throughout the house sit was fantastic and I really enjoyed the photos sent to keep me posted. The house was clean and tidy, and he had obviously taken great care. I would not hesitate in recommending Graham and I hope he will be able to house sit again for me.

LORRAINE (Tea Gardens NSW, Aug 2023 - 3 weeks)
Graham has been a fantastic house sitter. I have returned to a well-kept outside area and a clean and tidy home. But most importantly I have returned to a happy and healthy cat. Graham has also kept in touch throughout my trip.
I can safely highly recommend Graham as a house sitter.
KIM (Upper Orara NSW, Apr 2023 - 2 months 2 weeks)
Graham was fantastic looking after my elderly, fail dog. He kept everything clean and watered my plants and looked after the pool. The gardens and property were in perfect condition as well. He paid attention to the inside of the property and left it in the same condition on my return. I can recommend Graham to every one and I would certainly have him help again. Thanks for your help.
CAROLINE (Yamba NSW, Feb 2023 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Graham was absolutely fabulous. The care of my cat, home and garden could not have been better. He communicated with me every few days and sent me photos of of my very relaxed and happy cat. He left my home in pristine condition. I could not recommend Graham more highly.
JENNY (Wardell NSW, Jan 2023 - 1 week 5 days)
I can highly recommend Graham, from the very beginning the communication was great. Graham really looked after our house and our pets and sent us regular updates. It was so nice not to worry whilst we were away and it was so great to come back to the house which was spotless. We would not hesitate to use Graham again.
ANTHONY (Lake Cathie NSW, Nov 2022 - 1 month 2 weeks)
We were extraordinarily lucky to have Graham housesit for us. We came back to a sparkling house and pool. And not only that, but our rather difficult cat was obviously well cared for and relaxed.
Graham also made a point of regular contact to let us know that all was well.
We really appreciated having him there in our absence and recommend him for any sits.

This was my first experience with Aussi House sitters and after reading Grahams reviews I was so lucky that he was available and agreed to come to my place and look after my 2 year old cavoodle Lucy. Graham was so considerate of my requests, and during his stay kept me up to date with his and Lucy's adventures together. I felt completely reassured by Graham during my holiday - receiving little notes and photos of their mutual connection and Grahams loving care. I run an Airbnb downstairs ...

I felt completely reassured by Graham during my holiday - receiving little notes and photos of their mutual connection and Grahams loving care. I run an Airbnb downstairs and Grahams acceptance of this allowed me to continue this whilst he was upstairs. Such a bonus for me. This experience exceeded my expectations and I only hope Graham will come back when I go away again.

Graham took exceptional care of our house, cat and gardens while we were traveling Aus. We looked forward to receiving weekly updates from home via Graham.
Can't thank Graham enough for his attention to detail.
WENDY (Grafton NSW, Apr 2022 - 4 months 1 week - 1 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Wow what a beautiful clean house to come home to :-).
Communicating with Graham was easy and I would definitely welcome him again.
The doggies were spoilt, and were treated with a few dog bones which I am sure they loved.
JULIA (Nambucca Heads NSW, Feb 2022 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Graham was easy to communicate with. He was thoughtful enough to send happy snaps of our cat! The house and garden were in excellent condition when we returned from our adventure. We highly recommend Graham as a house sitter. We look forward to asking him over again in the future.
WENDY (Grafton NSW, Dec 2021 - 4 weeks - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Having Graham house/dog-sit was like having a 5 star holiday and returning home to a 5 star holiday. Exceptional communicator and kept us up to date with how our fur-baby was doing. Graham actively engaged with our little moodle, looked after the house beautifully. His easy and professional manner made us feel very comfortable to leave and even more comfortable return home to a happy little dog. Thanks Graham!
RUFINA (Maclean NSW, Sep 2021 - 6 days)
This was my first experience of having a house-sitter. How lovely it was to return to an immaculate house and a happy, healthy cat. Graham really cared for my house and plants, collected mail and developed a great rapport with Mika, my cat. It is obvious that he cares deeply for all animals. Communication was excellent both before and during my absence. Every couple of days I received pictures of Mika and updates.

Thank you so much, Graham.
MARY (South Tamworth NSW, Apr 2021 - 4 weeks)
We could not possibly have been happier with Graham as a house and cat sitter. Everything was as we left it and our much loved cat Holly was happy and contented. Graham is a very tidy clean neat conscientious person and it was a delight meeting him.. we would have him back anytime.

TANIA (Johns River NSW, Nov 2020 - 3 weeks)
Graham was the perfect housesitter for us. He tried his best to befriend our particularly unfriendly cat and made sure she was well fed and watered. He was great at communicating and sending updates. The house was left in immaculate condition with a bowl of fruit waiting for us. Graham even managed to leave the pool and deck area totally clear of leaves which would have been near on impossible given the crazy winds and overhanging gum trees. I would definitely recommend Graham for any ... MOREGraham was the perfect housesitter for us.

Graham is an awesome Housesitter. We can highly recommend him to anyone. We live on a property with our animals (2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 rabbit, 2 guinea pigs, 2 roosters and 15 chickens). Graham did an excellent job looking after the whole lot. He came for a visit beforehand and our dogs loved him straight away. We felt good to leave our animals in his care and really trusted him.

STEFFI (Mullumbimby NSW, Jul 2020 - 6 days)
Graham is a five star sitter all the way. I'm sure my cat felt more loved by Graham than she does by me! And the photos he sent every few days were so cute. The house was sparkling clean on my return and he even did a few repairs around the place, things I didn't even know could be fixed! Thank you so much Graham.
JANNINE (Mullumbimby NSW, Jun 2020 - 1 week 6 days)
I am extremely happy to provide a review for Graham after he looked after my dog, house & plants whilst I visited family interstate. Graham sent me updates on a regular basis, including photos of my beloved dog enjoying a bone he bought for him as a Xmas treat. My house was very clean & Graham even left a pot of homemade soup in the fridge for my return. Due to his gentle nature, Graham has an amazing connection with animals.

LETITIA (Wadeville NSW, Dec 2019 - 2 weeks)
We got home today to find a very happy Lab, he looked a picture of health. The unit was spotless and all the linen washed and drying on the line. I can highly recommend Graham to anyone that wants a happy fury friend when they get home. We got lots of photos of Harry. The plants are also alive which makes for a happy home. Thanks heaps Graham and you are more than welcome here to visit or stay anytime. Rob and Shell
ROBERT (LAWRENCE NSW, Nov 2019 - 3 weeks)
Graham is a very likeable and caring person.
He looked after our disabled Ruby with much love and care. He looked after our garden and home with respect , as especially during his stay he had the terrible bush fires with lots of smoke and heat that he wouldnt have expected.
We would recommend him for any house sit and would use him again if he wanted it.
PAUL (Forster NSW, Nov 2019 - 4 days)
We would highly recommend Graham for future house sitting. Our home, pool and garden was beautifully cared for. The horses, dogs and chickens were very well fed and looked after.
Nothing was a problem for him, keeping us up to date with occasional pictures and even the rainfall.
He is not a 5 star but a 10 star rating.
JEFF AND MARINA (Taree NSW, Oct 2019 - 2 weeks)
Graham was excellent! He came and met us and our fur girls before we left and always kept in communication with lots of photos while we were away.
We had some car issues that were discussed and dealt with promptly, many thanks.
The house and yard was kept neat and tidy with plants thriving when we got home; and all the winter dog bedding was washed and folded.
We cannot recommend Graham highly enough and look forward to hopefully having him sit at our place again sometime.

SAMMY (Calliope NSW, Aug 2019 - 2 months)
Brilliant house sitter. Came home to a beautifully clean house. He even cleaned the fridge out. Graham left home made soup for me to have after my long holiday. Communication was fantastic with Graham sending pictures of my cat and mail. My cat was very well looked after.
Highly recommended.
ANNE (Port macquarie NSW, Jun 2019 - 3 weeks)
Graham is an excellent house sitter who maintained good communication with us while away especially about dealing with an issue of a wild animal in our chook yard. Our large garden needs hand watering and we returned home to plants looking happy and healthy. It was thoughtful of Graham to wash sheets & remake our bed before he departed. We'd have no hesitation in recommended Graham to anyone who needs a house sitter
LYN (South Grafton NSW, Apr 2019 - 2 weeks 4 days)
Graham was very caring of our pets and took the time to get to know them. He let me know about anything I should be aware of and sent regular photos. We really appreciate Graham being able to our house sit at short notice and have no hesitation in recommending him for future house sits.
VANESSA (Gulmarrad NSW, Apr 2019 - 1 day)
Many thanks to Graham, we came home to an amazingly clean house and very happy animals.
Graham was kind enough to do a short / week stay, so that we could get away for a long needed holiday.
Graham is very independant and requires very few instructions to care for your property.
I would love to invite Graham back anytime and would highly recommend him to you.
COLLEEN (Dorroughby NSW, Apr 2019 - 1 week 1 day)
We were nervous about having someone we had never met stay in our home but Graham was fantastic! He came over to meet us before we left and I instantly felt completely comfortable with leaving. Graham took great care of our beautiful dog Luben and I could tell by the photo's that Luben took a liking to him and didn't miss us at all! Graham left our home in tip top shape and even put clean sheets on our bed ready for our return. Graham gave us regular updates and photo's which we loved. We hope ...

EMMI (WOLLONGBAR NSW, Jan 2019 - 1 week 5 days)
Graham was nothing short of amazing and we would have him back to look after our cat and house in an instant. In fact he will be the first person we call whenever we go away as we couldn't imagine finding someone more caring, considerate and just all round fantastic.
Graham looked after our house and Monkey at first for a month and when we needed to extend our time away he stayed for an additional month.

Graham looked after our house and Monkey at first for a month and when we needed to extend our time away he stayed for an additional month. He kept me updated with everything I needed to know - Post received, any house concerns (we had a small power out, fuse blown on tractor). Most importantly Graham kept me updated every couple of days about my cat and this was extra special. Not only did Graham do the basic photo and all is well - I received stunning photos of monkey and a few audios of her purring (she purrs very loudly it's quite unique). I also got messages like ''miss You mum" and it made my time away from my cat so much easier and I knew that she was in the best possible hands with graham.
Additionally Monkey had surgery the day before Graham stayed and he picked her up from the vet, looked after her and kept me updated the whole time.
The house was immaculate on my return and the grass mowed. Even the bed sheets were washed and the bed made.
I honestly can't recommend Graham highly enough. My cat Monkey will miss Graham and hopes he will be back to visit next time. If you're looking for a professional sitter who will make you feel completely at ease and who will love your pet while you're away then you would be lucky to have Graham sit for you!
Thank you so much Graham!
SAMANTHA (Tatham NSW, Nov 2018 - 3 weeks)
Graham was a very nice guy he called in to meet with me. Was extremely happy with my house & my animals were very well looked after. Thank you so much & hope to see you in the future.
GLENDA (Grafton NSW, Oct 2018 - 7 days)
We would like to thank Graham for being an awesome carer for our cat and home. We received regular updates and photos of our furry one. We give our full endorsement of Graham as a trustworthy, professional and caring house sitter.
MEGAN, MARK & JSAPER (Coffs Harbour NSW, Aug 2018 - 1 month 1 week)
Graham was our house sitter for 6 weeks.
He communicated promptly and clearly.
He left our home in excellent condition. While we were away he sent us messages letting us know how thing were going. We have no hesitation in recommending him house sit for you
CARROL (South Grafton NSW, Jun 2018 - 1 month 1 week)
Graham was our house sitter from Jan 7th -15th 2018.
It was a seamless transition for our dog Dobby to have Graham look after him. Apart from 1 very happy dog we wouldn't have known Graham stayed - in fact the house was cleaner on our return.
He was very reliable with messages and sent us daily updates and pictures of our dog on their daily walks and adventures.
I would have no hesitation in suggesting Graham would be an excellent house sitter and carer of your pets.
DAVID (North Avoca NSW, Jan 2018)
Graham is a gentle person and seems to go about life with very little requirements. Equally, his house/pet sitting required very little instruction from us. Graham communicated with us as needed and upon our return the house was clean, the animals healthy and he even had made a yummy dinner for us. We would use Graham again without hesitation. I believe he also trained our dogs to behave better (this didn't last).
KEALA (Yamba NSW, Nov 2017)
Graham was my first house sitter and I felt relieved when I was leaving knowing he would and did look after my chooks, garden and house. It was good to come home to a house that had been looked after and no cleaning required when I arrived home. Thank you Graham.
GAIL (James Creek NSW, Sep 2017 - 1 week 1 day)
We were so grateful to Graham who stepped in at the last minute to care for our 3 dogs. He proved to be reliable, caring and very responsible. He left the house very clean and the dogs were so happy and well. He took special care of our very old ridgeback. We highly recommend Graham.

Thank you Graham for being such a legend over the past few weeks, beyond the call of duty my friend... Dragon and Lexi miss your companionship already.
I'm so happy that Graham did this sit, I was rather concerned about who could look after my dogs like I do and live in this sensitive environment I call home at Shark Creek, he gets 11/10, he was great!

Please come back Graham because we'll look forward to you sitting again in the future.
He comes highly recommend :)

Thank you Graham for taking care of our home so well. We were delighted to return home to find everything perfect ... house clean, gardens cared for and animals happy. We would be very happy to invite you back!!
ANNE (Tyndale NSW, Jan 2017 - 1 month 1 week)
My husband and I had many offers from people willing to house sit. We are very happy that we chose Graham. Our two little dogs were very well cared for and the house was left in great condition. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him.He kept us updated regularly by e mail on how things were going. He even had a pot of beautiful lentil soup ready for us on our return.We would recommend Graham to anyone who requires a reliable trustworthy house sitter.
ELIZABETH (Gulmarrad NSW, Jun 2016 - 6 weeks approximate)
Thanks Graham for your friendly & capable manner. We arrived home after 2 weeks break to an immaculate house & garden, happy chooks, fish, cat & very happy dogs. Even my old Labrador with phobias was cured (above & beyond the call of duty). Thank you so much for the peace of mind we were able to enjoy. I would thoroughly recommend any one needing a sitter to contact you.
