Our experience

We have always had our own pets: a goat, a galah, dogs, cats and chickens. Over the years we have successfully completed many unofficial housesitting jobs. We are both animal lovers and would always take the utmost care of any creatures in

    Frances and her family have looked after our home and our pets (dog and cats) at least 2 or 3 times a year for the last four years. In my experience, Frances is 100% reliable, shows great respect for other people's property, and always leaves the house in as good a condition as she found it, if not better. Regarding pet-sitting, I think that Frances has a real heart for animals and this is reflected in the high standard of care and affection she shows our pets. Frances is definitely our preferred option for looking after our place in our absence. Highly recommended.

    Why we want to house sit

    We hope to further our house-sitting engagements as a mutually beneficial way for us to travel and to assist others in taking holidays.
