We both share a love of travel and have been fortunate to see a lot of the world in recent years. Now we have retired we hope to continue the journey.
Liz is originally from the UK but has called Australia home for 30 years. Living on 100 acres just south of Perth Liz was known as the 'Bird Lady' and any orphaned birds ended up at her place. With everything from ducks and geese through to emu's it was an eclectic collection. She also had sheep, dogs and cats to add to the mix. Greg was a Police Officer and worked in many remote parts of Western Australia as well as the Perth metropolitan area. Greg always had at least one dog and cat in the family but has had as many as three dogs and two cats at one point. Greg also has some experience looking after horses and sheep.
We initially house/pet sat in London and Northampton for friends and friends of friends when travelling. Since joining Trusted House Sitters we have undertaken sits in Singapore, Thailand and Perth with further sits booked in Western Australia and the United Kingdom. We find this very rewarding and interesting and look forward to helping pet owners in the future.
Why we want to house sit
We love to travel and have enjoyed many trips to various parts of the world in recent years. We enjoy the local experience and love being out of the tourist zone. We both love animals, but because we are travelling a lot at the moment we don't have any at home. We see House Sitting as a good way to experience a more local view of the world and enjoy caring for peoples pets so they can also get away. We are both very active and Liz is a keen gardener and happy to water plants and maintain gardens. We are both practical people with emergency services background so there are few problems or issues we cant tackle and resolve while you are away. Both tech savvy we can easily keep you in touch with whats going on at home so you can enjoy your travels without worrying.
Our experience
We have been housesitting both locally and abroad and as you can see from our references we have lovingly taken care of a variety of cats, dogs and the odd fish to the complete satisfaction of the pet/home owners. We have made many friends along the way with everyone happy to have us back to housesit.
We have both had pets all our lives but at the moment we are pet free as we intend to travel for a while. Liz comes from a farming background so has looked after sheep, poultry and emu's. Greg has had some experience with Horses as well as experience with farm animals.

Both Greg and Liz and looked after our house for three weeks during August 2017. We cannot praise them enough as we came back to a house which was spotless from top to bottom. Best of all our dog Bentley was fitter than ever, he had been walked every day Greg even fixed some cupboards in the kitchen, which embarrassed my husband as he had been promising to fix them for months As if any further proof was required they even left breakfast items in our fridge when we arrived back, a nice touchA charming couple from downunder who clearly deserve 5 stars across the board

Liz and Greg were absolutely fantastic! The perfect house sitters. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They were extremely friendly and Missy took to them straight away. So wonderful in fact that I'm inclined to book my trips away around their next visit to the UK! Complete peace of mind whilst we were away. Can't thank them enough. Don't hesitate to book them for your house sit!

Greg & Liz .... lovely people.
Maybe if they had redocorated my house I would have pushed for 6 stars - that's about the only thing extra that they could have done!
Not sure I thanked them enough!Greg & Liz .... lovely people.
