A bit about us...
We joined 'Mind a home' in June 2023 and have been house sitting full-time around Australia since Jan 2024. Prior to our experience in Australia we collected a swag of happy house sitting testimonials during our time away including the best references we could ask for, homeowners who found us mature, responsible and have invited us back on multiple occasions which we’re happy to share.

We met in Montreal Canada in 2009 and have since lived together (14 years). During this time, we house/pet sat together across Canada and also became the go-to pet and plant sitters for friends, friends of friends and friends of friends of friends. Chihuahua's to shepherds, rats, cats and farmyard friends... we love'em all. Also having been on the other side of the house sitting fence with sitters in our home, we know what it feels like to hand over the keys.

While we build our history on the platform, we’ve put together a PDF with some more of our experience including:
• Personal bio's, history and visa information
• International House Sitting testimonials
• AirBnb reviews/Profile
• Photos from our experiences
• Police checks
• Links to our LinkedIn profiles

👉 Drop us a line we'd love to share with you.

As HOUSE SITTERS we have experience with houses, farms/properties and apartments.

Taking care of inside tasks like managing AirBNB accounts, collecting mail from PO boxes, general cleanliness and day-to-day home maintenance. As well as tending to things outside like lawn care, pool maintenance, veggie patches, orchards, pruning/hedging, yard work and smelling the roses.

As PET SITTERS we have cared for 🐶 dogs (big/small), 🐱 cats (long/short hair), 🐠 fish, 🦜 birds, 🐀 rodents, 🐔 chickens, 🦆 ducks, 🐮 cows and 🐐 goats.

Doing things with them like walking, running, administering medicine, snuggles, catering to special dietary/behavioural needs, wrestles, grooming and of course cleaning up… 💩
