We are a mature aged married couple from Cairns, Far North Queensland, Australia. We are avid travellers and have made a decision on a whim to stop working and to start to enjoy life and try new experiences and meet new people through travel.
We have both recently received our National Criminal History Check (all clear!!) here in Australia and can provide copies on request.
Why we want to house sit
Our home is on 1.5 acres and has more than 20 fruit trees such as mango, lemon, orange, rambutans. We have owned cats and dogs all our lives from a small Jack Russell, Collie, Silky and Maltese terriers to a large German Shepherd. We have travelled throughout Europe as tourists which only allows a limited time in any location. We would like to spend more time off the usual tourist track locations and to learn and enjoy differing cultures and foods.
Our experience
Our experiences during our working life have primarily been local government and project management. We have lived in indigenous areas from the top of Australia on a island called Thursday Island to the bottom of Australia in Tasmania in a remote location on the west coast called Zeehan.
We have home maintenance experience in gardens, pools as well as all things household.
We are intending travelling for at least 12 months from Australia and will be happy with short or long term for pets and home sitting.

They were laid back about all the warnings I gave them about our diva cat, Lucifer. Actually, she really took to them and spent the night with them the first night they were over, before my husband and I had even left for our vacation! The betrayal! She knew right away that she had new suckers to boss around. And we like that in sitters. We spoil our cats like crazy and we are always so happy to have sitters that do the same.
Tracey and Bill were also very good with our other two exhausting cats and played with them a lot (actually, the boys didn't even acknowledge us when we came home because they were having such a nice time with them).
Tracey and Bill were very fun to talk to, they kept in contact with us during our trip and were so sweet to make us dinner when we came back.
My husband and I did not worry at all about our house and animals during our trip and knew everything was safe in their hands. We highly recommend Tracey and Bill!!- Organised

Tracey and Bill are great house sitters and a lovely, honest, happy couple we are honoured to call our new friends! The fur kids all loved them immediately and were looked after perfectly. We can't wait to have them back here! Highly recommend Tracey and Bill for house sits.

We asked Tracey and Bill if they could come a day earlier than our actual travel so we could spend some time with them, we had a lovely evening and Tracey and Bill are very easy going. I do stress about leaving our dogs, I love them to bits, however as much as they are precious to us I also know you need eyes in the back of your head, Buster is still a puppy and sometimes naughty. We had a lovely holiday receiving daily photos and updates on our Beagles giving us the reassurance that all was well and they were being looked after. When we returned home (to a clean house I might add!) I was expecting to hear Buster had chewed or destroyed something, so was delighted to hear he had actually behaved. Tracey and Bill are a very chilled out couple and nothing is too much trouble. Thank you both for looking after our home but most importantly thank you for looking after Buster & Belle.
