About Sue and robin & Robin
We are a middle aged couple who in 2014 took a year (then two!!) off from our normal lives and headed to the UK and Europe to gain new experiences. We made lots of friends, and cared for 22 dogs and 10 cats over 20 months! We had a fabulous time, and realised how much we loved the pet-minding travelling-lifestyle.

We are a middle aged couple who in 2014 took a year (then two!!) off from our normal lives and headed to the UK and Europe to gain new experiences. We made lots of friends, and cared for 22 dogs and 10 cats over 20 months! We had a fabulous time, and realised how much we loved the pet-minding travelling-lifestyle. We returned to Australia to work and save up for a return visit, and now plan to revisit Europe in 2019.
We have great reviews and experiences from our 2014/15 travels, and continued developing a local pet minding business once we returned home. We’re now ready to return to the TrustedHouseSitter world of travel and look forward to extending our family of well-loved world-wide pets
Why we want to house sit
We have found housesitting to be a great way to join in the communities we find ourselves in and share our love of animals. We look forward to being a part of the people and towns and find volunteer work to make new friends where ever we stay.
We want to travel and share community life and sights in new countries and in more depth than holidaying can offer. Housesitting provides this opportunity but without the huge costs of a holiday. We want to housesit so that we can stretch our finances as the Aussie dollar is around about half the English pound.
Our experience
As homeowners for 32 years we do know how important it is to trust someone with our house and know that its being cared for as you would care for it, i.e the garden and general cleaning. We have had and cherished many pets over the years with our growing family and also after the children have left home, We love having pets around to talk to and play with and exercise. They are great friends to come home to. We are both trustworthy and honest people that look forward to looking after many homes and pets! During some of our travels we have had opportunity to stay in our friends homes and we always take an active roll in cooking, cleaning, gardening etc. Our motto is to always leave their place clean and tidy ready for them to come home too.

We recently had Robin & Sue look after our 2 cats while we vacationed for 2 weeks. The cats warmed up to them very quickly and they seemed very content throughout our time away. Robin and Sue provided us with updates through Facebook messenger throughout the vacation which gave us reassurance that the cats were doing well. We have a cleaning service at our home, so we didn't require a lot of cleaning work, but the house was in good condition when we returned. Our elderly mothers both live close to our home. Sue & Robin brought the newspaper and mail to my mother every day and visited with John's mother as well. Sue was kind enough to cook us a great meal when we returned and she also accommodated our special dietary preferences, which was very thoughtful. This was our first experience with Trusted Housesitters and we felt it was a positive experience.

Sue and Robin were ideal dog sitters in many ways and much better than some couples I have given full marks to in the past. They established an instant rapport with my dog by grooming her very thoroughly. They came twice this year. Sue is a good cook and provided an excellent meal after my first trip. My daughter (who came to the house once they had gone from the second trip) said that she had never seen the house as clean and tidy.

Robin and Sue returned to our home for a second time to look after our many and varied animals.
The last time they were here they had to deal with a boisterous 9 month old pup, this time they had the very grown up, playful 65 kg version, who was in the midst of a phantom pregnancy.

The last time they were here they had to deal with a boisterous 9 month old pup, this time they had the very grown up, playful 65 kg version, who was in the midst of a phantom pregnancy.
Robin and Sue handled everything thrown at them very well and we returned to a happy, healthy menagerie.
Sue also cooked us a couple of great meals, on our return, which we really appreciated.
All in all we have had a really good experience with Robin and Sue and we would not hesitate to recommend them to other people seeking a house sitter.- Organised
