I could not recommend Mary and James more highly. From our initial conversation to our reunion with our little Layla we knew we would not be able to find better pet carers and house sitters. We are so very grateful to them for their amazing care and informative communication and photos. We returned home to find our house just as we’d left it as well as a sparkling clean oven. More importantly a very happy and well cared for dog. Thank you so very much Mary and James. We would highly recommend ... MORE

NEIL (Yarra Junction VIC, May 2024 - 4 months 1 week)
Mary and James provided first class house sitting for our property and pet border collie. Their communication was excellent, with regular communication with our daughter, and photos of her loved "Reggie". We were extremely pleased to see our side gate repaired, and oven having a further special clean. (Have to find out Mary's secret cleaning recipe). Would seriously recommend Mary & James for all future House Sitting/Pet sitting requirements. All the best for your future travels, and will keep ... MORE
 
MAX (Newport VIC, Mar 2024 - 4 nights)
Mary and James, a lovely couple who were excellent house sitters. I met them online first and in person when they came to sit at my home. Communication re arrival and departure times and while they were sitting was excellent. They looked after both dogs very well, in fact I think spoilt them a bit! The house was immaculate when I returned. Plants had been cared for and James had looked after pool and done a few odd jobs without being asked. I can highly recommend them for house sitting ...

WENDY (WEST ALBURY NSW, Mar 2024 - 2 weeks 1 night)
Thank you Mary & James for caring for my home & garden while I was overseas. It was wonderful to return to my home & have both my garden & home well cared for. James also carried out a couple of maintenance jobs for me including correcting an issue with a water gauge that needed recalibrating & retrieving the ‘sensor’ from a ‘down-pipe’ connected to a water tank. I wish Mary & James well for their future house sitting and would be more than happy to have them house sit for me again. ... MORE
 
SHAYNE (Yarra Glen VIC, Jan 2024 - 1 month 1 week)
It was a pleasure to have Mary and James look after our home and animals. They were a perfect fit for us. Their communication was excellent, and even though their dates of arrival and leaving meant we departed before they came and arrived home just after they left, the transition was seamless. They impressed us early as being reliable and that impression was only enhanced by their stay. Their care of the household and their attention to detail was faultless to the extent we arrived home to find ... MORE
 
JUDY (Cardiff Heights NSW, Nov 2023 - 1 month 2 weeks)
We strongly recommend Mary and James for any house sit possible. They were amazing with our beautiful border collie Sasha and also walked our neighbours dog. The house was spotless on our arrival home. Communication was great when we were away had lots photos, videos and messages of our Sasha. We would like to thank them and would certainly see if they could do it again if we went away.
 
KERRYN (Lakes Entrance VIC, Aug 2023 - 1 week 4 nights)
Thank you so much Mary & James for looking after our house, garden and of course Mr. Charlie (Horse). We returned to our home as if we had not left. Wonderful, Thank you very much James for keeping the garden looking fantastic and for looking over and maintaining the mowers, we will follow up on your maintenance recommendations. Very much appreciated. Communication prior to the house sit and regular updates from Mary & James whilst we we away was amazing. The texts and photos were very much ... MORE
 
KARIN (Port Fairy VIC, Jun 2023 - 1 month 2 weeks)
I cannot speak highly enough of Mary and James. What an absolute pleasure it was to have them sit for us. My animals seemed to have had a holiday all of their own and the house was left immaculate - they cleaned the oven! I mean it when I told Mary and James if they are ever of need of a play to stay this way again to let us know and we will organise a holiday around their dates. Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou :)
 
LUCY (Werribee VIC, Jun 2023 - 5 days)
Mary and James surpassed our expectations. Their care for our home and our dear dog was exemplary. We would highly recommend them as house sitters and are grateful for their attention to detail and comprehensive communication throughout their 3 weeks' stay. Thank you (again). Ray and Helen
 
RAY AND HELEN (Woodend VIC, May 2023 - 3 weeks)
We really enjoyed taking care of Ray and Helen’s spacious, comfortable warm home. The highlight for us was the beautiful Bella a sweet natured affectionate happy Border Collie/Staffy. Woodend is a delightful village full of unexpected surprises and friendly folk. The train station was within ... MORE
Mary and James did a fabulous job of looking after our home and gardens. Our house was left in immaculate condition and James had not only maintained our yard but also fixed things such as the irrigation systems for our garden. Communication was prompt and informative. Mary and James are a lovely, easy going couple whom we would love to have sit our house again. We highly recommend Mary and James.
