We are an Australian, non smoking couple with 13yr old twin daughters. Danielle is a Radiographer and Ray is an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer. Luckily for us, these are careers we can use anywhere in the world! We were well travelled before having children, and now as a family have recently visited New Zealand and Japan. From January 2017, we are now travelling around Europe. We have spent early 2017 in the UK, and then started to travel around the UK and the continent as opportunities arise. Our daughters will use distance education from Australia wherever we may be, so we will be in your house to care for your pets, plants and home.
Why we want to house sit
House sitting enables us to integrate into the community and experience the local culture, not just see the tourist attractions and take photos!
As we will be leaving our pets with trusted friends, minding your pets will be thoroughly enjoyed, and hopefully ease the absence of our own.
We own our home in Brisbane, so we understand the importance of caring for your property. We know the necessity of maintaining your house and pool, keeping it safe, clean and tidy.
Our experience
We grew up with various dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, chickens throughout our lives.
We currently own a medium sized dog, and a budgie. Both are inside/outside animals. We have minded cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, goats and tortoises for friends and other house sits.
We are more than capable of continuing the daily maintenance of your house and swimming pool while you are away.

Despite challenging circumstances of being snowed in for several days and then no water for even longer we came home to happy contented pets a tidy house and a home cooked dinner.
They kept in touch while we were away with regular updates and photos and managed our small quirky rescue dog who also required some medication with no problems at all. Holly and Georgia are lovely girls who love all animals and our pets have certainly missed all the extra love and cuddles and company since they left.
We have no hesitation in recommending this family as great sitters and they are genuinely nice people who were good company and easy to get along with.- Organised

Danielle and her family looked after our house and two dogs really well. They spent time getting to know the dogs and their routines before we left and did everything we asked. Ray cooked us two delicious meals. It was so nice to have the two girls as well - great for playing games with the dogs! We felt completely confident to leave the family in charge of our one elderly dog and other lively puppy. Danielle kept us informed via WhatsApp while we were away, which was lovely. She also forwarded messages. On our return, everything was calm, tidy and clean - ready for us to slot back into our lives again! I could not recommend Danielle and Ray highly enough. Thank you so much!

Response from Danielle & Ray
Thankyou Lesley and Philip for trusting us with your gorgeous house and animals. We were warmly welcomed and made to feel very comfortable. You introduced to your favourite walking tracks and village routes.Your animals were a delight to look after. My children love Dillon for his calmness and cuddles. They love Zoe for her energy and playfulness. We are all missing them.

Danielle, Ray, Georgia and Holly are a lovely family who spent three weeks looking after our three dogs over Christmas and New Year. We returned to an immaculate house, a dinner prepared and most importantly three very happy dogs! They appear to take everything in their stride and the relaxed nature of the dogs on our return indicated that they had been very well looked after.
We would not hesitate to recommend Danielle, Ray and family to anyone looking for house & pet sitters and would welcome them back here if the opportunity arose.- Organised
