Glen and Linda

58, Semi-retired

57, Semi-retired

Having recently joined the ranks of empty nesters, we are semi-retired teachers from Cairns, now travelling long term.

We love animals and being outdoors. I am a member of the SES and Cairns Coastguard and we have worked in remote locations for many years before becoming teachers. Linda also has experience as a wildlife carer. We are both fully vaxxed, non-smokers and with no pets (recently lost our 11yo rescue Staffy).

Prior to joining AHS, we had done a number of farm and house sits over the previous 2 years (see some reviews below), including caretaking at a sheep stud farm and research stations, all involving varying degrees of pet/animal care, pool maintenance, general maintenance and repairs (fire pumps, solar arrays and inverters, fencing, grounds maintenance, water pumps), security checks etc.

We’ve had the privilege of looking after all manner of creatures great and small, from thoroughbred racehorses and farm animals to birds, reptiles, fish, cats and dogs. We used to have an Irish Wolfhound/Great Dane cross, and have also looked after a Bull Arab, Rhodesian Ridgeback, a Neapolitan Mastiff and Greyhounds. So we love being around large animals.

We are travelling around Tassie for the next year or so, including doing some caretaking for Parks and Wildlife at Maatsuyker Island. We would love the opportunity look after your place and care for your beloved pets.

Reviews from Home Owners prior to joining AHS:

Linda and Glen looked after our home, our garden and our gorgeous Border Collie while we were away on a holiday. It was the best decision we made! On our return our house was spotless, the garden thriving, and our Collie didn’t want to say bye to either Linda or Glen!
I would not hesitate to recommend them. They are conscientious, caring and most important looked after our place as if it was their own!

Prapti, Perth Hills, WA, Sept 2022

We had Glen and Linda look after our property in Coolup WA in 2022. Three dogs, two kangaroos, chooks, ducks and sheep, all looked after in addition to our house. Upon our return all animals were fine and the house was spotless. This was our first time having a house sitter in and we could not have asked for anyone better to be honest. Very happy with the way they looked after the place and both Linda and Glen were cracking people.
We definitely recommend them to anyone considering house sitters.

Glen and Linda are such a lovely couple and we would be more than happy to have them look after our house and our fur baby Tilly again. We could tell that Tilly loved them and was very sad to see them go. We received regular updates and photos of Tilly while we were away. The house was immaculate when we returned from our holiday and we were welcomed home with a wonderful home cooked meal. We would highly recommend Glen & Linda and hopefully have the opportunity for them to look after our ... MORE
 
DAN & LEONIE (Claremont TAS, Jun 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
We were very happy with Glen and Linda's care of our staff X Mindi. They walked her daily asrequested and provided great company for her. They were in touch with us as needed, and sent photos. We were very happy to know they were looking after our girl. When we returned from our holiday the house was clean and tidy. We would highly recommend Glen and Linda to anyone who would like their pup looked after with love and affection.

FELICITY (North Hobart TAS, Jun 2024 - 3 nights)
This was our first experience using Aussie House Sitters & how lucky we were to find Glen & Linda to look after our home and cat Nancy. Communication was incredibly clear & friendly & after speaking with G & L I felt very comfortable leaving the house & our fur baby in their capable hands. They were also kind enough to send a list of recommendations of things to do on our holiday as they were from where we travelling to. We came home to a perfectly clean house & happy cat, we couldn’t have ... MORE

Glen & Linda were fantastic to deal with. They are both very friendly, and did a great job looking after our pets. They even stocked up our wood pile, ready for our return. I would highly recommend Glen & Linda if you need someone to sit for you.

TIM AND BELINDA (Katoomba NSW, Mar 2024 - 2 nights)
Glen & Linda are outstanding house sitters. Their communication was excellent, they followed our pet care instructions to the letter, and the house was immaculate on our return. To top it all off they are incredibly nice and interesting people. We couldn't recommend them more highly to care for your property.
 
MARNIE (Soldiers Point NSW, Mar 2024 - 3 nights)
Glen and Linda are excellent house sitters. They are a lovely friendly, honest and respectful couple who looked after our dogs beautifully and left our home tidy and clean. Communication was good and we would be happy to have them sit again. Highly recommended.
 
KIM + WILKO (Mitchells Island NSW, Feb 2024 - 3 nights)

GREG (Lighthouse Beach NSW, Feb 2024 - 5 nights)
Glen and Linda did a fantastic house sit for us. They were thorough with their communication when getting in touch and made sure to clrafiy what our property needed well in advance. This was a short sit of about a week but I can tell that they would be excellent choices for longer term sits given their capability of looking after properties. We returned home to a lovely clean home and a happy dog - they were great sitters.
 
MICHAEL (Highvale QLD, Jan 2024 - 1 week)
We couldn't have wished for better people to care for our dogs and home. Glen and Linda were absolutely amazing. They spoiled our dogs with endless love and treated them like their own. Our home was spotless when we returned. Glen and Linda's communication was outstanding before, during and after the house sit. We would highly recommend Glen and Linda.
