We had Kerrie and Anthony sit our home and 2 large fur babies for 4 weeks. It Was comforting to know our dogs were in good and loving care. We loved the pictures they sent. We would definitely recommend them for a house sit
ROSLYN (Bridgetown WA, May 2019 - 4 weeks)
Kerrie and Anthony were the perfect house sitters .and we cannot recommend them highly enough . Our dogs were treated like royalty and we felt safe in the knowledge they were being cared for as we would have done. We were given regular updates whilst away . We came back to a house cleaner than when we left with fresh linen on the bed and basic supplies in the fridge . After a long haul flight this was a godsend. Will definitely be calling on them again if they are up this way.
JODIE (Atherton QLD, Sep 2024 - 4 weeks)
We felt so lucky to find Kerrie and Anthony to look after our house and dogs. Communication was friendly and easy and the housesit was arranged well ahead of time. We had limited phone reception while we were away but on the occasions we had our phones on, were very happy to see photos of them walking the dogs. The house was left sparkling clean and overall there was a minimum of fuss. Kerrie and Anthony clearly have a lot of house sitting experience as well as being warm and kindhearted ...

Thanks for your very thoughtful review. Cheers Kerrie and Anthony
Kerrie and Anthony were excellent and went above and beyond. They did an exceptional job of looking after the garden and did a number of odd jobs around the farm plus look after the animals. Could not recommend them highly enough and we will certainly be using their services again if available . Did everything requested and more .
ROBERT (MURRUMBATEMAN NSW, Oct 2023 - 2 weeks)
Kerrie and Anthony were fantastic and our dog Tillie was sad to see them go. We would highly recommend them to anybody. They cared for our garden, left our house cleaner than when we left and were very good at communicating their adventures with Tillie. We hope to keep in contact with Kerrie and Anthony and subject to their availability, we would certainly love them to mind our house and dog again, when we next travel.
PETER (Strathdale VIC, Aug 2023 - 6 weeks)
Thank you Kerrie and Anthony for doing such a wonderful job of minding Charlie and keeping my house. To arrive home and find all the extra cleaning that was done was very generous of you. Also thank you for managing the domestic cleaner which I had forgotten to tell you was coming to clean , you just took it in your stride and used the service as intended. While away I always felt confident you would look after Charlie and I came home to a very contented cat . Thank you so much ,happy travels ...

Kerrie and Anthony are absolute pet/house sitting Angels. They did an incredible job of looking after my two dogs and home. I came home to a house and yard cleaner, tidier and in better shape than I left it. They were very attentive to my dogs needs and looked after them well. I would highly recommend Kerrie and Anthony to anyone who needs pet and house sitting and would have them back in a flash if I need them and they are available in the future.
RACHEL (Lutana TAS, Dec 2022 - 7 days)
Kerrie and Anthony looked after our home and pets beautifully while we were away for nearly 3 weeks.
When we returned the house and garden were immaculate and pets very well cared for. They even fixed our kitchen tap! Communication was great throughout and we would happily have them back anytime.
KATHERINE (Wagga Wagga NSW, Oct 2022 - 3 weeks)
Kerrie and Anthony ere fantastic house and puppy sitters. We came home to a lovely clean home, which was greatly appreciated after the "adventure holiday" we had, even had flowers in the vases. The gardens had been weeded and everything looked welcoming when we finally arrived back home. Our little Suko had been treated like a princess, with many walks, lots of playtime, heaps of brushes, and many photos sent to us. Suko definitely missed Kerrie and Anthony very much as she spent the first few ... MOREKerrie and Anthony ere fantastic house and puppy sitters.

LINDA (Tura Beach NSW, Sep 2022 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Kerry and Anthony were awesome house sitters, they sat for our dog Banjo and looked after our gardens, They stayed either side of their sit with their caravan, lovely genuine people who would highly recommend. Place looked great when we got back. My daughter Matilda sewed with Kerry after school. Thank you so much for everything you did for us.
LOUISE (Humpty Doo NT, Jun 2022 - 3 weeks)
Kerrie and Anthony
Are amazing, our 3 dogs loved them and miss them now I'm sure and our cats were snobs as cats are. We would love to have Kerrie and Anthony back when ever they are available as our house and gardens were beautifully looked after and a pleasure to come home to. They kept in contact with pics of our fur babies (feeling really relaxed and comfortable) while we where away which was a lovely touch
Thanks again Kerrie and Anthony
TINA (Acacia hills NT, May 2022 - 1 week 1 day)
We highly recommend Kerrie and Anthony as house and pet sitters. They were so accommodating to changes in our dates due to a family situation and we cannot thank them enough. Our cat is not that keen on new people but I think was socialising within a day, and looked quite put out when we came home! Would definitely look to have Kerrie and Anthony house sit again.
JOANNA (Humpty Doo NT, May 2022 - 5 days)
Kerrie and Anthony were very nice. looked after our house and animals(3xkelpies, chicken duck and geese) very well. communication was excellent as well. We would love to ask them again next time if their schedule permits.
IZUMI (Termeil NSW, Apr 2022 - 6 days)
Thanks Izumi. Hope to see you again, travel permitting.
Kerrie and Anthony are exceptional house-sitters and I have no hesitation in recommending them for any future house-sitting opportunities which will come their way.
My cat Billy was well cared for as was my home and garden. I arrived home to my garden being in a better state than I left it and am grateful for Kerrie and Anthony and what they have done. I wish them well for future house-sitting opportunities.
ELLY (Sale VIC, Feb 2022 - 2 weeks)
Thank you Elly for your kind words. We enjoyed our time getting to know Billy and finding our way around Sale and district. We would be happy to sit again if the opportunity was to arise.
Reliable, honest, caring I'd describe Anthony and Kerrie as Housesitters . We returned to a house in immaculate condition and very happy pets. Communication was daily and much appreciated. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for Housesitters
STEPHANIE (Warwick QLD, Jan 2022 - 1 week 4 days)
Fantastic. Such a beautiful couple. Could sit around and gas bag with them forever. So thoughtful and friendly. They both went out of their way and way overboard with cleaning and ensuring we had fresh fruit and milk etc when we came home, our beds were made. It was like coming home to a hotel but cosier. So unexpected and unnecessary but we are overwhelmingly grateful. We can not wait to have you guys back. ❤️ it will probably be really hard to book you guys again as everyone ... MOREFantastic.

We can not wait to have you guys back. ❤️ it will probably be really hard to book you guys again as everyone will be wanting to book you in. Please drop Iin even if you aren't housesitting for us. But we sincerely hope you can sit for us again. The dogs are going to miss you too.
Thanks to Kerrie and Anthony for looking after my house and garden. I came home to a clean house and neat and tidy garden
MARGARET (Howrah TAS, Apr 2021 - 2 months 2 weeks)
This is the first time I have ever used a house sitter or the Aussie House Sitters website and I could not have picked better house sitters than Kerrie & Anthony. They took the time to meet us in person before confirming the sit and after meeting I was right at ease. Kerrie requested notes so she could be thorough and keep routine for our Husky x Shepherd Ara. Communication before & during the sit was A1 including some photos of Ara out on a walk. When I was leaving Ara was sitting right beside ...

Communication before & during the sit was A1 including some photos of Ara out on a walk. When I was leaving Ara was sitting right beside Kerrie who was reading her book as if she'd known her for years!
Upon arriving home our house was super clean, little things did not go unnoticed like the tidying of the cupboards and Anthony mowed the lawns! I also had a dozen eggs left from their own chickens. 10/10 Couldn't be happier. Thank you
NAOMI (West Moonah TAS, Mar 2021 - 6 days)
Thank you Naomi. Was a pleasure to sit for you.
This is the 3rd time Kerrie and Anthony have looked after our farm, animals, and our "boys' (Border Collies). We received regular updates and pictures while away, and came home to a well-kept house and grounds, Our animals were well cared for and our boys thoroughly spoilt! They also did a great job hosting our 2 airbnbs, receiving 5 stars from our numerous guests.

We couldn't have found a better couple to housesit our property and fur babies in Kerrie and Anthony. Our German Shepherds took to them from the onset which was reassuring to know we had found the right people. We strongly recommend Kerrie and Anthony to anyone that are looking for a professional and chilled out couple to housesit their property and pets.
ROBERT & JANETTE (Lower Chittering WA, Apr 2019)
Robert and Janette welcomed us with open arms. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Cleo, Raph and the most entertaining and very vocal birds. We highly recommend this house sit.
Kerrie and Anthony are superb house sitters / dog sitters. They are trustworthy and responsible. They socialised our dog at the beach on a regular basis and he was so well cared for that he was very relaxed and happy on our return from our holiday.
We highly recommend them. 5 star rating all round.
Thanks so much Kerrie and Anthony and we hope to have you again as sitters when you return to WA.
ROBYN (Carramar WA, Mar 2019 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Kerrie and Anthony were fantastic! Such a lovely couple who cared for our home and dogs like they were their own. We came home to washed dogs, a wonderfully clean house and Anthony even mowed our lawn!!! We would recommend them to anyone and everyone.
ASHLEIGH (North Beach WA, Jan 2019 - 1 week 4 days)
Kerrie and Anthony did a fabulous job of looking after our home and pets. They went out of their way to make sure everything was perfecltly looked after while we were away, right up until we got home at 2 in the morning (truly above and beyond!). Communication was excellent. Very much appreciated! I highly recommend Kerrie and Anthony as house and pet sitters.
KIRSTEN (Humpty Doo NT, Aug 2018 - 3 days)
Thanks Kirsten
Hope you are both keeping well. We arrived in Perth in Nov and have house sits till March 2019. Thinking we will head back up Central WA and back across to East Coast. Take care cheers Kerrie and Anthony
Kerrie and Anthony were fabulous. The dogs had wonderful walks and swims and we appreciated the SMS update and photos. The house was left in perfect condition. The sheets were even washed and bed re-made!
I would have no hesitation in asking Kerrie and Anthony to pet/house sit for us again.
BETH AND ALLAN (Mulgoa NSW, Apr 2018 - 6 days)
Most enjoyable time had by all. We will definately give a call if we are passing your way again.
Kerrie and Anthony are the ideal house sitters. They looked after our home in Echuca beautifully and formed a great friendship with our chocolate labrador, Bluey. They kept the house and garden super tidy and even vacuumed my car. We have no words to describe their professionalism and care. They are great people with lots of life experiences and common sense. It was great to meet them both. Thank you again for helping us.
ANDREA AND CANDACE (Echuca VIC, Mar 2018 - 1 week 6 days)
Kerrie and Anthony were fantastic farm sitters, looking after our cattle, chooks, and especially our beloved Border collies, Pirate and Bandit. It was great to come home to an immaculate house and well-tended gardens. The extra touches were great, especially
a tidied linen cupboard- thanks Kerrie! Kerrie and Anthony kept us informed of what was happening on the farm, tought our puppies to swim, sent photos etc. I cannot recommend them highly enough and hope that they are available to farmsit ...

Safe house!
There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
