We are Col and Jo, semi-retired and ready for adventure. We love travelling, meeting new people and any sort of furry friends. We are currently house and pet sitting in Darwin but back in NSW in September to December if anyone needs reliable sitters.
Hobbies include walking, camping, exploring new places, classical music, good food and chocolate! Jo teaches English to Japanese business students online and Col has recently retired from the airline industry and has discovered that his cat loves listening to him playing guitar. Jo plays violin/viola and is trying to teach Col piano with as much patience as they can both muster.

After a career in the air, Col has travelled extensively. Jo left the UK 27 years ago and has lived in Europe, Singapore and Australia.
We have just got back together after a 36 year gap (don't ask!), and are keen to travel and explore.

We asked Jo and Col back because they did a great job last year. We were absolutely delighted with this sit as well. They fitted right in, our senior spoodle Chloe loves them. Great communication. We came home to a clean, tidy house and a happy, beautifully looked after pooch. Couldn't ask for more. We highly recommend Jo and Col. They are lovely, reliable people and we would happily have them back again.

Jo and Col are lovely people who took great care of both our home and our cat. It was our first time having our house sat and we had slight trepidation but as soon as we met then we knew they would be great. Their updates were thoughtful and the right frequency and the house was cleaner than when we left. We hope to see them again and highly recommend them.

Jo and Colin were wonderful house sitters and we could not have been happier . They were honest, trustworthy, reliable, wonderful communicators , followed all our pet instructions and left our house beautifully clean. They were very attentive and loving to Miffy and put us at ease throughout the house sit sending us wonderful photos and messages expressing their enjoyment of looking after her and our home. We were able to fully relax on our holiday knowing everything was in capable hands. ... MORE

Jo and Colin are delightful and considerate house sitters and we would happily have them back. As would our spoodle, Chloe, who didn't miss us at all! They were house sitting in the UK when we first met them and we felt comfortable with both from the start. They did what they said they would do and more. Everything was clean and tidy when they left. Jo sent us lots of pics and kept us up to date while we were away, without being intrusive. Thank you Jo and Colin for looking after our home and ...
