Customer Reviews
Suzette
Sitter, Canberra
Many thanks for your email letting us know that our subscription is about to expire. We fully intend to take up another one, as we were completely satisfied (and more!) with how this last one worked. Many thanks for your brilliant service. I have recommended you to many friends. Cheers Suzette
Christine
Sitter, Sydney
My name is Christine and I have had many rewards from house sitting and not only that if saving money. I am an animal lover first which really has to be one of the main reasons for house sitting.
I have met wonderful people who have opened their homes to me and even more, I felt their warmth and gratitude. I want to continue house sitting mainly because I understand the positives and the rewards I have from doing the housesitting. I have become close to some of the homeowners so I am enlarging my circle of friends.
Thank you Ruth and Malcolm for providing these opportunities via you website. I always recommend your website to others.
Regards Christine

Home owner, Melbourne
Thank you for your wonderful service.
We are so impressed with our house sitters Heidi and Graeme who took care of our house and land and our very loved greyhound for four weeks recently. We returned home to a lovely clean and tidy house, a warm welcome by Scotty at 12 midnight (thanks Scotty!) and best of all a very happy dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Heidi and Graeme come again and mind our home.

Dear Ruth and Malcolm,
Yes, I have spoken to some friends about your website and the wonderful service you are providing. My husband and I have found all your house sitters highly satisfactory, giving us peace of mind every time we went away, knowing that our pets - two dogs and a cuckatoo - would be cared for in a special way. Our house and garden were also well maintained during our absence.
Many thanks and more power to you!
