We were delighted to leave our cat, Bertie, in the more than capable hands of Monica and Ken. Bertie can be a standoffish cat but it was clear to see that

Monica and Ken took great care of my home in Goonellabah New South Wales for a week between Christmas 2018 and New Year. They managed my nervous cat and

    Monica & Ken were great. They looked after our home & pets for 3 weeks while we went overseas. They came to our house the week before we left to meet the animals and see how we did things which was great. We felt very comfortable going away and leaving our animals and home in such good hands. They walked the dogs and took them to the beach several times and the dogs were very happy on our return. Monica & Ken really enjoyed there time here also and looked after our home very well. When we arrived home we had fresh fruit, bread and milk waiting for us which was very thoughtful and our house was very clean. Monica would email us with photos of the dogs at the beach and on their walk, and an update on how things were going, which was lovely when you miss your pets while away. Nothing better than going away and not having to worry about anything at home. It makes your holiday that much more enjoyable. We would definitely ask them to come back again. Thank you so much. :-)

    Why we want to house sit

    We visit the UK frequently to visit friends and family, and would welcome the opportunity to stay longer without imposing on their hospitality. Our eldest daughter has recently moved to Guernsey so it would give us the opportunity to see
