More information about this house sitter

Diverse Sit Experienced Duo, at coastal retreats, rural properties, inner city dwellings, cattle stations & more. Many Repeats, Refs & Links. "THANKS AGAIN FOR CARE & AFFECTION YOU BESTOW ON OUR PROPERTY & PETS!" This quote best sums up gratitude of local & overseas owners.

Happy to assist Spring 2024 onwards throughout coastal and inland regions of TAS, NSW, VIC, ACT & QLD. Short or advanced notice enquiries, all good :)

We cater year round for all properties, beach to bush. Modest homes to elaborate dwellings, off-grid hideaways, urban lofts, caretaker roles, properties 4 sale, tiny homes, and, U name it, we're happily there, wherever your home may be.

We provide peace of mind, with regular property, admin and pet-status email/text updates/photos, while managing your property in our well practiced low wear and tear, discreet conduct, no-fuss manner.

As a trustworthy duo with a demonstrated track record, we're fortunate to have assisted dozens of like-minded people entrusting us with their prized homes and pets. Expanding such encounters continues to excite us.

We're a conscientious, active couple equipped with a broad range of house and property maintenance plus animal-care skills.

Our chosen lifestyle of decades: home-owners in our own right, with no children, we've tracked our work around the globe, and continue to grasp and appreciate new pop-up opportunities.

Qualities about us that home-owners seem to appreciate:-
- Security conscious.
- Non smokers.
- Hygiene alert.
- We have no pets and bring no social drama/baggage.
- Responsive & resourceful.
- Inner urban dwellings experienced, thru to remote rural property care for decades.
- Property 4-Sale expertise. Presentation and revamp supervision and happily liaise with your chosen agent.
- Professional caretaker expertise plus references.
- 4WD terrain-savvy and right at home at remote and off-grid assignments.

Activities: Enjoy mountain-biking, kayaking, local cuisine, hiking, sailing, veg patches, chilling out deck-side, home libraries, cultural learning, hitting the surf, absorbing city skylines, exploring mountains, and yes, getting lost in environments new to us.

Happy to assist on through 2024 and beyond. We welcome your particular sit description and those photos, which to us, paint a thousand words every time ✅️

Cheers,
Mag and Don 🙂
