Hi we are a senior married couple, we both love dogs and jean has owned an Alsatian, Doberman and pekinese my first dog was a poodle and then migrated to larger dogs such as a Labrador.

We enjoy our walks and i am still actively cycling in my spare time, Jean is an expert cook and enjoys family time with the grandchildren.
Why we want to house sit
We would like to travel throughout Australia visit new places and make new friends. our busy lifestyle and my previous jobs have not allowed us to take-on a pet of our own but feel we can offer love and affection as i know how difficult it was leaving a pet behind for a long weekend or a short break.
Our experience
Over the years we have traveled extensively with my career and have both rented and owned accommodation. I have a pool at my home address and with an engineering background can attend to minor issues.

My partner and I had booked a holiday for 10 days and we were very glad we found Andrew and Jean to housesit for us while we were away. We have 2 dogs and 2 horses that required looking after. The day we were supposed to leave one horse fell ill and we had the vet come and tend to him. With the diagnosis being a minor illnesses Andrew and Jeannie were happy to keep the arrangement and we went on the holiday. We had the vet come back and check on the horse whilst we were away and Andrew kept us updated on his improvements along with stories of other misadventures. The vet bogged their vehicle on our property and he helped assist them to get out of the pickle. Kangaroos also decided to cause trouble and broke into the front yard one night, Andrew propped up the fence with a star picket. Holidays aren’t often without fun and games but this was more than we would have liked for Andrew and Jeannie, and they handled it all graciously and were able to be of great help solving any problems that arised. That said 10 days went fast and we soon arrived back home to happy pooches and healthy horses and a very clean and tidy home. We are very grateful for their help and thoroughly recommend Andrew and Jean as housesitters, you will thank yourself lucky you had them stay, we certainly do. Thanks Andrew and Jean :)

We meet with Andrew and Jean two days before leaving on holiday. We went through a walk around the house met with our
pets.
They arrived on time the day of departure and reacquainted themselves with the pets and our home.
On return we found the house very tidy and our pets well looked after.

Andrew and Jean did a wonderful job looking after the house and pets with no problems encountered.
Both Jen and myself would recommend Andrew and Jean as house and pet sitter.- Organised

If you are looking for house sitters who are dependable, trustworthy, and conscientious and have the ability to handle adverse situations with tact, then Jeannie and Andy Bennett fit this description perfectly.
We have known Jeannie and Andy for over fourteen years, and over that time, they have had three houses of their own, investment and residence, always maintained well.
They will always go out of their way, to ensure the right thing is done, as needed, even if it means drastic sacrifice to get something done.
We recommend Jeannie and Andy with full confidence as house sitters.
I have no reservations about entrusting Jeannie and Andy with my house key. Additionally, my property has never been damaged under their care and I have had no complaints from neighbors.
I know they have had great experience working with the more “challenging” situations, that have prepared them for all eventualities in this role. Some of their skills as a house sitter include:
• Adeptness at securing domestic buildings from the inside and the outside to ward off any nefarious activities
• Track record of handling / overseeing repair and maintenance work while homeowners are away
• Skilled at handling the feeding and grooming needs of house pets, especially dogs.
Thank you for your time and please don't hesitate to contact me on 0490459401 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
John Farrelly- Organised

I have known Andrew and Jean Bennett for a number of years. They are honest, trustworthy and extremely reliable. They have looked after a number of rental properties receiving outstanding recommendations. They have looked after both my property and my pet dog, taking him for walks and treating him beautifully and with utmost care. They like all animals, especially dogs and cats but also have experience with birds, fish and rabbits. I would highly recommend them for any house sitting position they apply for.
