More information about this house sitter

Hi,

Our names are James and Emma and we have two daughters, 8 and 2, who have grown up on a steep Adelaide Hills bush block!

Our Adelaide Hills home is being rented out. We spent most of 2023 in northern NSW for work reasons, and enjoyed house sitting opportunities in the Adelaide Hills and eastern suburbs of Adelaide during 2024. We’re currently (2025) enjoying interstate travel with our children and working remotely (James 4 days a week, Emma 1 day a week).

We have been pet owners (chooks, dogs, cats, horse) and have recently been house sitting in Hawthorndene for friends, who can provide a reference, and you can also view our 2024 house sitting reviews at Mylor, Carey Gully and Balhannah (all Adelaide Hills) - at another popular house sitting website. We also house sat at Burnside (eastern suburbs of Adelaide) for nearly 6 weeks through this website, and the owners would be happy to provide a reference.

We recently looked after fish, rabbits, dogs (a vizsla and a golden retriever), 4 ponies, sheep and chickens, and have really enjoyed their company.

Emma did house sitting when she was younger at - looking after cats, dogs and sheep.

We both work from home (Emma only 1 day a week) so we are able to spend a lot of time at home and with pets.

We will be in NSW as of early April and would love to hear of any house sitting opportunities along the coast, or nearby. Ideally we would like to end up in the northern rivers area where we lived for most of 2023. However, we are also keen to explore other coastal regions of NSW! We have no end date to our travels at present so are super flexible. Between house sitting jobs, we may occasionally have need to return to Adelaide for work/family, so please still be in touch if you are from Adelaide, as it may work perfectly!

Our daughters both love animals and would thoroughly enjoy playing with your pets gently for as long as they like, between their naps, and throwing balls etc! We really enjoy the company of animals and take their happiness and welfare seriously. Being home full-time we can give your pets, house and garden full attention and easily go on walks etc twice a day.

We look forward to hearing about any opportunities and are very happy to talk on the phone/zoom or meet at any stage.

We’ve both done police checks.
