We offer - We ask

Our home on Lake Serenity, Helensvale Qld.

As experienced house sitters, we offer you the comfort of knowing that we will care for your home with a great deal of care and attention. If you would like us to, we will keep you up-to-date while you are away, with emails or text messages. We are based in Australia and are available for house sitting within Australia as well as overseas.

When house sitting we offer to:

Collect the mail

Water the garden/plants

Care for the pool

Give your home general everyday upkeep and make sure it's neat and tidy

Put the bins out

The types of animals we care for:

We mind small to medium dogs that are well behaved. We simply adore taking care of them, and love taking them for walks, and are very experienced. We have also been given the OK by very particular cats who have allowed us to do their bidding, and have even been given the head bump of approval.

We can sprinkle fish food into an aquarium, and chat with a budgie or parrot but that's the limit of our understanding.

Little Oney the Chihuahua/Foxy cross

We follow your requests for pet walks - where your pet likes to go.

We can take pets to the groomers - we don't wash dogs.

We have a lot of experience with and can look after elderly pets.

We ensure that they have lots of cuddles, and chats.

We give pets massage to help them with any stress of being away from you.

We make sure their flea control is given when it is due.

If you like we can email you some pictures of their time with us.

We send updates via WhatsApp a free (worldwide) text & photo sharing service.

If you would like us to, we will post pictures of your pet on this blog, so that you can see their adventures while you are away.

What we ask for the pet we are minding:

We ask that the pets are flea controlled and clean, that all their food is supplied, treats etc ready for them.

If your pet needs to visit a Vet:

Please let your vet know that you will be away and who we are. Please organise with them how fees will be paid for prior to your trip - we do not cover vet fees.

Beach Trips

We no longer do these, after some interactions with unrestrained dogs on the beach.

Please do not ask us to mind dogs that are not leash trained, who are difficult to lead, or have a tendency to bite.

Where we house sit

Once our world opens up again, we hope soon... in addition to house sitting in Australia, we are also available for house sits in Canada, France, Greece, Italy, UK, USA - if I haven't mentioned your country and you would like us to travel to your home, please contact us.

Types of homes we housesit

We live in a lovely home, and when we travel, we have fairly simple requirements... that your home is in a nice area, a pleasant place to stay, that it is clean, with a two (if possible) lovely, quiet bedrooms with queen or king size bed. We ask that you supply internet access, and if possible, garage parking or off street parking.
