Jackie and Phil Smith

61, Retired business owner

62, Retired

We may be available and are very happy to House-sit for you. We really like to plan ahead.
We are a reliable, honest, very clean, non-smoking, non-drinking retired couple who have been local to the Northern Rivers for over 20 years. *Importantly, we have life experience and patience with many different precious, animals between us. We love walking furry ones! Great exercise and much more fun than the gym :-)
We also really enjoy nature and being outdoors and are avid gardeners.
A recent wonderful, House-sit experience was Pete Evan's rural retreat which we will always remember fondly.
We look forward to being of service and connecting.
Please call to speak further about who we are.
Kindly
Jackie & Phil 🌿

Jackie and Phil are amazing house sitters., we highly recommend them and would love to have them house sit for us again. Their communication before the housesit and updates during were excellent. We came home to a perfect house. The boys were so happy and relaxed when we arrived home obviously not at all stressed. Thanks so much Jackie and Phil!

We really appreciate your kind review Kerry & Ian. It means a lot to us. Thank you. Jackie + Phil 🌸🌿
Jackie and Phil just completed a 5 week house sit for us on the Gold Coast. We were quite nervous as we’ve never used a house sitter before and we were going overseas. We have a much loved Labrador and cat. Jackie kept in regular contact with us throughout and it was lovely to see how much they cared for our pets, who appeared relaxed and settled. Jackie and Phil treated our house as if it was their own and we returned to a spotless home. They also liaised with our pool company, making sure it ... MORE

RUTH (Clayfield QLD, Dec 2023 - 2 nights)
Jackie and Phil were great house and dog sitters. Jackie kept us updated with many photos of Bowie enjoying himself. He certainly seemed a happy dog when we returned home . We walked into a sparkling clean house, which is a major achievement with a dog who sheds in summer. Thank you Jackie for the flowers as well. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to you. When I need a sitter again I will be contacting them for their availability.. Bowie will be happy about that I ... MORE

Thank you very much Lesley and Colin for the kind review 🐶🏡
Phill and Jackie were fantastic house sitters! We knew as soon as we met them that they would fit into our little farm life. Communication was great and they sent pics of our fur babies. Nothing seemed a problem for them and the house was left spotless. Thanks for everything 😘

Jackie and Phil were wonderful house sitters. They took great care of Shaun, our Murray River Retriever, and our chooks. We have a property on 3 acres and Jackie and Phil mowed the lawns and kept the garden looking good over their 3 month stay. Jacky was in frequent contact with us and was always happy to go the extra mile for us to make sure everything ran smoothly including checking on cars and receiving deliveries. They even fitted a spa cover that arrived late and assisted with ... MORE
 
ROBERT (South Bowenfels NSW NSW, Aug 2023 - 3 months 1 week)
Helen and Robert, thank you very much for your wonderful review. It’s been such a pleasure doing your H/sit and getting to know you both x
Jackie and Phil were brilliant. They sent me photos and videos of our pets who were really enjoying being looked after by them. We were able to relax and enjoy my holiday knowing they were happy. The house was immaculate when we got home. Thank you again Jackie and Phil.
 
JOYCE (Burradoo NSW, Jul 2023 - 5 nights)
Thank you so much Joyce and John for your kind review. We are very happy you found things as lovely as you left them. Hope to meet again x
Jackie & Phil provided great care for our home and pets whilst we were on our travels. Communication was great with them providing updates with pics & videos on the pets (which our children adored to receive) along with anything additional with regards to the house. We have no hesitation in recommending them for house sit or asking them to come back & stay again!
 
EMMA (Wollongbar NSW, Jun 2023 - 3 weeks)
Thanks so much Emma x That’s a lovely review. All the very best until we may connect again. Jackie + Phil & Jerri : )
Phill and Jackie looked after our pets for a week. This was our first time with house sitters but Phill and Jackie had lots of experience. It was such a relieve to know our pets were loved and cared for while we were away. Jackie kept us up to date while settling in and that everything else was running smoothly. We returned home to a clean and tidy house and happy, healthy pets. Thanks Phill and Jackie, we definitely recommend this couple to look after your pets.
 
CHANTELL (Jimboomba QLD, Jun 2023 - 1 week)
Thank you very much Chantell for your kind review 🌸 I’m posting book today, I gave library a call to check address etc Have a wonderful day 🤗
Jackie and Phil are great 😊 We had a very positive experience for our first time using Aussie house sitters, and I feel this was because Jackie and Phil made us feel at ease. Communication was spot on with updates and some very cute photos of our fur kids. 😊 Our home was left just as we left it and taken care of very well. Little Jerri ( Jackie and Phil’s chihuahua) came along for the holiday too and got on great with our pets and is a very sweet little girl. I highly recommend these ... MORE
 
MEGAN (Murwillumbah NSW, Jun 2023 - 5 days)
Having local couple Jackie & Phil house/catsit for us meant we could enjoy a quick 4 day/night getaway. We enjoyed our meet and greet afternoon together when we showed them around prior to an easy handover. We felt absolute peace of mind having Jackie & Phil in our home - which was spotless on return, with even the guest sheets laundered. Our cat Hendrix was well cared for and appeared not to notice our absence :) We highly recommend Jackie & Phil as sitters and would not hesitate to contact ... MORE
 
ANGELA (Alstonville NSW, Jun 2023 - 4 days)
That’s a beautiful review Angela, thank you so much 😻 Hope you’re both enjoying this stunning day 🌸🌿
Jackie and Phil looked after our property and dogs very well while we were away for a month. Jackie kept in regular email contact and reassured us that the dogs were well. The house was lovely and clean when we returned and the dogs were well looked after. Jackie and phil had filled our home with garden flowers on our return. They are very, very good house sitters.
 
MARGARET (Kyogle NSW NSW, Apr 2023 - 4 weeks)
Thank you for your kind review Margaret & Brian 🧚🏼‍♀️ Until we meet again.. Jackie & Phil + Jerri 🌺
It was our first time using a House Sitter and the unknown can be a scary thing, but we found two amazing sitters (Jackie & Phil). From our first meeting to the regular updates we felt very comfortable with them being in our home. They looked after our cat, chickens, home & property and did an amazing job. I would highly recommend them
