They were wonderful house/pet sitters! They took care of Murphy so well and it was apparent our pup was loved. They are very kind and communicated with us

I am a friend of the home owners of the property that Laurie and Neil looked after in Kendenup Western Australia. We met at least once a week and on every occasion I visited the house I found it clean, tidy and well maintained. The garden, not just flowers and vegetables but an orchard as well, was well maintained. The dog was not only well cared for but also given lots of training as she was just a pup. Laurie and Neil are easy-going, kind and very friendly. They seemed to very much enjoy meeting new people. Relished discovering all the differences about life here in Australia and wholeheartedly became part of our local community. Neil helped me learn more about my computer and Laurie's positive energy was so good to be around. During their six month stay I made new friends and would not hesitate to invite Laurie and Neil to look after my home. They took excellent care of my friends home so I have no hesitation in advising anyone to grab them while they can. You won't regret it!

Why we want to house sit

We are full time travelers and house sitters. We enjoy house sitting because we like to stay in a place long enough to really get to know it and meet the local residents. By the end of 2019 we will have completed 27 house sitting
