Katy & Danny

About Katy & Danny
We live very close to the beach in Manly, Australia and have owned dogs, cats and horses.

We live very close to the beach in Manly, Australia and have owned dogs, cats and horses.
We have cared for dogs in both country and city settings as well as large farm animals at a rural property in Victoria. We have loved owning a beautiful brown burmese cat, who enjoyed lots of attention and tickles under his chin and our spoodle who loves 2 walks a day and lots of cuddles and tummy rubs.
We volunteer at our local surf club, patrolling the beaches and keeping people safe in the water and also assist with our local meals on wheels delivery service for the elderly and actively participate within our local community.
We own our own home and give our assurance that we will look after your pets and your home as if it was our own, which is kept tidy and cleaned regularly.
Katy grew up near Henley on Thames in Oxfordshire and has ridden horses extensively and Danny grew up in Sydney and is also a very capable handyman. We both have clean driving licences and can drive a manual car. We're more than happy to help you with airport pickups and drops offs or getting in some shopping for your return.
Why we want to house sit
We have both been working professionals in events management and professional services whilst raising our family of 3 youngish adults and are now looking to do longer extended travel across Europe. We will do some organised tours, some self guided exploration though also wish to break our itinerary with stays within a home environment with pets, as we will miss their company.
We believe it will be lovely to be within a home environment to relax and recharge with some four legged friends, in between some of our compact travel itineraries.
Two of our children are now living in London and Surrey so we felt it was time for us to enjoy our GAP Year.
Our experience
We have annually gone to a large cattle property in country Victoria, where we have helped with cattle management of feeding and mustering of over 550 cattle. We have fed chickens and ridden 4 of their horses. We have looked after animals including cats (burmese, persian and rag doll) and dogs (labrador, golden retriever, collie, kelpie, cocker spaniel and dachshund). We have lived in both rural settings and in London and Sydney so are very adaptable and enjoy what the local area has to offer. We do like to hike and walk, so your dogs will have plenty of opportunity to get outside with us!

Katy did not stay at mine, however she made the time to pop in and spend time with the bunnies. She fed them and cleaned out their cage. They were very well taken care of and the place was left clean.
Would use again.Katy did not stay at mine, however she made the time to pop in and spend time with the bunnies. She fed them and cleaned out their cage. They were very well taken care of and the place was left clean.

I have known Katy and Danny Gompes for over 15 years. They are a wonderful couple with strong family values which is evidenced in the wonderful children that they have raised. They are very community minded and have been involved with the local surf life saving club for many years. Danny has now taken on a leadership role as patrol captain and Katy uses her various talents for special events. Along with the surf club, Katy and Danny have been involved in various fund raising activities and are always giving back in some way. Together they have a beautiful home and they have always prided themselves on making it a comfortable and welcoming place to be. Their dog Charlie perhaps benefits most as he spends leisurely days being pampered by a family who loves him. Katy and Danny would be excellent home sitters as they are trustworthy and reliable and they would take the same care and pride for your home which they do for theirs.
