Our first house sit was Christmas 2017 for a gorgeous Bernese Mountain dog. It went so well (thank you, Annette!) that it was soon followed by three more in BC. We arrived in the UK in Nov 2018 and began housesitting our way around the

Mary was a wonderful cat and housesitter. She clearly had a wonderful rapport with our two rescue cats and they miss her. She kept an eye on the garden and

It was an absolute pleasure having Mary and Matthew come and look after the boys. Mary popped round a few days before to get the keys and a quick show

Mary and Matthew were fantastic sitters! Communication was great before the sit, and Mary sent us regular updates while we were away. They were very patient

Mary & Matthew looked after Tamara’s pets & home

Mary and Matthew house sat for us while we went on our first family holiday to the Gold Coast for 1 week 4 days. I was excited when Mary contacted me about our ad and felt very confident with their experience and communication that we had chosen the right sitters. Communication was great from the beginning and throughout the sit. We had regular updates and photos daily of how our pets were going. It sounded like our pets had more fun with Mary and Matthew then we did on our holiday. :) They walked Max (Beagle) and Honey (Labrador) daily down to the dog beach and gave them regular exercise and the attention they required for their high energy personalities. Harry Potter, our cat didn't miss out either, he went on regular walks with his harness on and had plenty of play time too. Whilst we were away my kids and I contracted a nasty virus and we were unable to fly home on time. Mary and Matthew were amazing, understanding and so patient with us during our struggle to get back home. Words can't express how amazingly kind and generous these two people are and we are so very grateful that we had the privilege of having you both sit for us. They changed their plans around and made themselves available to help us out, so we had someone with our pets until we returned home. They are truly dedicated house sitters! When we returned the house was very clean, well maintained and all the pets happy and well looked after. If you need a house sitter and have the opportunity to have Mary and Matthew sit for you, rest assured your pets will be in excellent hands. We will definitely contact them in the future when we make holiday plans to see if they are in WA and if they're available. All the best to you both on your travels.

Why we want to house sit

Pets have been a part of our lives since the beginning. When we decided that retirement was going to consist of long periods of time in countries other than our own, we realized that we were going to have to reconsider having pets. This was
