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.

Danielle and her family are amazing. They are kind, generous and easy to trust. They did a fantastic job with our dog and left our house absolutely spotless. They did a number of check-ins with us while we were gone and let us know everything was going great. I would rate them higher than five stars if I could. You cannot ask for better housesitters.

Danielle and family provided an excellent service. A really lovely family who were great with our pets and took care of our home for five weeks.

Danielle, Ray, Georgia and Holly were housesitters for a short time at our house, and at a time when I came home from Australia. So they had to put up with me a few times, but it all went smoothly. They were very easy to communicate with, and I felt the house and cats were in very safe hands. They bought Lily and Leo a little mouse toy which is quite a luxury as they don't have any! :) Georgia and Holly gave the cats a lot of attention and cuddles, and they were definitely well looked after. We had some nice meals together, and I also took them on a walk in the local area. It was great getting to know them, and I would highly recommend them as housesitters for any other job on THS. I look forward to seeing them back in Norway, and they are welcome any time to come and house sit for us again. Thanks very much for your trust and reliability.
