I write to advise that both Patrick Horan and Gretel Cleary have been house sitters at different times since 2018 in two properties for the varying periods . 2018 at our apartment • 2025 Currently at our rural property During the time Patrick Horan and Gretel Cleary occupied both properties they took good care of both properties including the communal areas (carparks storage and entrance/lifts) whilst house sitting the apartment and at our rural property both the internal and external areas were clean, well maintained including extensive gardens, deck and the care and husbandry of farm animals whilst housesitting the house and property at Bells beach . We received no complaints from their neighbours at either property and found them reliable and courteous in our dealings and would happily recommend Patrick Horan and Gretel Cleary as reliable and trustworthy house sitters
