The Cooking Couple

55, Retired laundry assistant aged care

75, retired motor mechanic

We built and live in Ocean Grove, on the Bellarine Peninsula for 26 years.
Have 2 lovely Adult girls 25 and 23.
As a family, caravaned extensively through Vic and SA and once to Alice Springs, but now find southern winters a challenge.
We have enjoyed all our house sits and made some wonderful friends.
Our cavalier of 10 years is no longer with us, and we believe it is unfair to expect a dog to continually travel long distances.
So we would love to look after your pets and show them the affection that Frenchie new.
As non smokers with sober habits wish only to sit for like minded people.
We are both triple vaccinated..
On occassions Sarah has accompanied us on sits and is also a House Sitter.

Donna and Colin were a fabulous couple. We feel so lucky they applied to look after our property. We invited them to come a few days before we left and thoroughly enjoyed their company with lots of talks and laughs. They did a great job looking after the house and gardens and caring for the animals leaving the place spotless. We would certainly welcome them back again. Thank you once again Donna and Colin

Donna and Colin are very experienced house sitters, they looked after my little dog George šŸ¾šŸ¾ and my home very well indeed. Nice, caring, considerate people. Love to see them again if possible, take care on your travels guys, it was a pleasure meeting you both, regards Glen
 
GLEN (Coes Creek QLD, Oct 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
Donna and Colin were great sitters, our pets were very well looked after and were happy with them. They even dropped Ruby off at the groomers as we were running late arriving home from our holiday. The house was left clean and tidy when we came home which is lovely when you get back. Donna kept me updated on our furbabies and anything else we needed to know. Donna had made a delicious soup for us which was very welcome! They are a lovely couple and I would highly recommend.

JANET (Palmers Island NSW, Aug 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
Donna and Colin are excellent house and dog sitters. This is the first time we have used Aussie House Sitters and couldn't be happier with the service provided by this lovely couple. Their warmth and generosity was evident from the first time we met them. Their communication is clear and concise, and we quickly built a great rapport with them. Hopefully they will consider minding our house and dogs in the future, and I highly recommend them for any prospective house sits. Ashley & Wanita

Donna & Colin are wonderful house sitters. Iā€™m so grateful to have found them . I knew as soon as I met them that the all would be good. Colin is also very knowledgeable with animals and advised me on a few things with Bella . Iā€™m sure my house is much cleaner than when I left it three weeks ago. I even got my gate fixed. šŸ˜Š Thank you both so very much..
 
ANNIE (Dongara WA, Aug 2023 - 3 weeks)
Thank you Donna and Colin for looking after our two Scotties, Mac and Fergus, and our house so well. Communication between us was great, and the house was pristine on our return. Fergus needed extra caring due to his TCC cancer, which Donna and Colin did with great care. Mac loves cuddles and did not miss out on them. We returned to a great evening of snacks and a lovely minestrone soup. We also had the privilege of tasting Colin's shortbread and fruitcake. Thank you for the lovely farewell ... MORE
 
PATRICIA & JOHN (Corinella VIC, Mar 2023 - 1 week 3 days)
Colin and Donna communicated well right from the start and we knew instantly that they would be excellent house sitters. It was so good of them to come the night before we left so we could orientate them to our home and meet the animals and so on. They cared for our home, chooks, dogs, lambs, pool and garden so conscientiously If they had any questions they messaged us and we were able to sort out the issues straight away. We were even blessed with a home cooked meal upon our arrival home ... MORE

Thanks you Donna and Colin, we enjoyed having you and you did a wonderful job of looking after the farm and communicating with us whilst we were away. We would highly recommend Donna and Colin as wonderfully thoughtful, thorough and capable house-sitters. Donna, I need your soup recipe - that was delicious and oh so generous and kind to have ready upon our return! Best wishes from Cam and Nerine
 
NERINE (Gherang VIC, Jan 2023 - 4 days)
Donna and Colin were fantastic house sitters! They looked after our home and our little dog Lexie really well! Colin even did the mowing for us and Donna cooked a super delicious minestrone soup to welcome us home! I definitely would recommend them to everyone!

This was the 2nd time we'd used Donna and Colin and were more than happy with the arrangement. They were both diligent in house, garden and pet care.

This was our first time of trying aussiehousesitters.com & Donna & Collin who lovingly home and pet sat our older fur pooch Toffy couldn't have done a more than exemplary 3 week sit. They kept us up to date as we travelled which gave us peace of mind. We returned home to find the house in pristine order including even the lawns mowed which was not expected of them. Toffy was well cared for and even got out walking again. We have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone contemplating house ... MORE
 
LISA AND ROB (Goolwa North SA, Aug 2022 - 3 weeks)
Donna and Colin were fantastic house and pet sitters. They took great care with all my belongings and house. My animals were so loved and cared for. Colin repaired my hose that had split and Donna prepared a meal for me on my return, so I didn't have to cook. Donna left me lovely little notes around my house with nice messages of things she had done. I can't recommend them highly enough - I give them 10 out of 5 stars. Thank you for taking such good care of everything while I was away - it ... MORE
 
CARMEN (Anna Bay NSW, Jul 2022 - Aug '22 - 1 week 4 days)
We are so grateful to Donna and Colin for taking such good care of our home, and dog Teddy, for 4 weeks while we were overseas. From our first communication we felt totally at ease. We called one of their referees who spoke very highly of them and we weren't disappointed. Donna and Colin were a pleasure to deal with. We really enjoyed meeting them on the phone and then in person. They provided updates and communicated as necessary but were also very thoughtful about not bothering us during our ... MORE
 
LYNDA (Jewells NSW, Jun 2022 - July 2022 4 weeks)
We were very confident in leaving Donna and Colin to care for our dogs and home whilst we were away. We had good communication throughout. The dogs were well cared for and the home as we left it, maybe better with a meal ready for us on our return! Much appreciated.

A pleasant surprise to meet Donna and Colin who cared for our dogs and house so well. They are a caring and lovely couple and we will be happy for a return sit.
