It was a such a pleasure to meet Al and Claire. They kindly arrived a day early so that they could meet our pets and get a tour of the house and gardens. We

Al and Claire were amazing . The first day of the intro to our beloved sanctuary in the hills behind Byron Al Stewart found at least three handy hints for me that will make my life easier now we are back from our 12 month sabbatical. Including the pool pump operation that makes the job much easier . Claire was incredible and our dog Cassie will always have a place in his heart for them . I am still continuing the little treats that they gave him . The property itself has need for extensive and continuous work in the gardens and paths . The house similar as it is in the country where we are exposed to the weather in extremis.The place on our return was immaculate and I only hope that I can keep the gardens up to the standard that Al kept them while we were away. All in all we recommend to anyone Al and Claire as mature ,sensible,trustworthy, incredibly handy and pet loving people . They became friends with our circle of friends in the community and are accepted now and in the future . If you have a valuable property anywhere in the world these two are ideal . They have travelled extensively for many years and understand different cultures and traditions. In short if you need someone you can rely on these two can be counted on . I would be happy to communicate this by phone.

Why we want to house sit

Housesitting gives us the opportunity to broaden our horizons, meet new people and of course look after animals. We love the idea of helping someone take a much-needed break with the confidence that their pets are happy at home. We have
