Highly experienced sitters, Beth + Chris

More information about this house sitter

Our experience:

Hi there, Beth and Chris here!

Since October, we have completed six housesits and are moving onto our seventh and eight confirmed ones soon. We have already been asked to sit again for four of our sits, so I hope that proves what a good job we do. We truly care about your pets AND your home as if they were our own.

Our personal pets throughout life have included: dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and fish. We’ve cared for other species too, with Beth’s uncle and aunt as farmers, meaning Beth has been around all kinds of animals on a caring basis.

Since being in Perth, we have cared for... dogs, cats, guinea pigs and stick insects (!). We will also be adding birds, fish, snakes, donkeys and chickens to our list over our next two sits. As you can see from this, we're up for anything - we love all animals (our photos only add to the proof of our unwavering awe for them)!

Whilst our calendars are relatively full across the coming months, we are especially keen for longer term sits in the latter end of 2026 and into 2027. We will, however, consider anything so please do reach out (as will we).

We have reviews/references on other house/petsitting platforms (which I am not allowed to name here), so please reach out for those links and I can forward anything. We also have police checks (Beth) and DBS/WWCC/WWVP checks (Chris) completed for work purposes, which we would be happy to share as consider these give additional peace of mind to you too.



Why we want to housesit:

House sitting is the perfect way for us to begin our new chapter in Perth. As we’re relocating from overseas, it offers a meaningful and practical way to settle into the community, explore different areas, and settle into Aussie life while doing something we truly love - being in the company of animals.

We take comfort in knowing we can provide pet owners peace of mind, and in return, we get the joy of companionship and the opportunity to live like locals.

Having both grown up around pets, and having a lifelong love for animals, we value the trust placed in us to look after yours as if they were our own.



A bit of background on us:

Between us, we’ve always been surrounded by pets, including rescued ones, and caring for animals is something that’s always come naturally.

Beth has a background in ecological and environmental science, and has worked on conservation projects around the world — from the UK, to Indonesia, Borneo and Africa — caring for wildlife and supporting environmental efforts - so is extremely comfortable and familiar with settings and animals of all kinds.

Beth has spent a lot of time in Australia over the past sixteen years too, experiencing the lifestyle and landscape of Australia, both traveling and working all over. Our most recent visit, and Chris' first, was in December 2024, where we spent four weeks within country and confirming that Perth was where we wanted to plant roots. We both love the outdoors — hiking, swimming, beach walks, gardening, and being in nature. We love music, sport, travel, and simply experiencing life (we're really the sorts of people who are up for anything - we love a good laugh)!

In an attempt to change the world for the better (!), Beth now works as an Urban and Regional Planner to help make our places great for us, as well as for our flora and fauna. Chris works as a wheelchair specialist for active and passive users - encouraging and supporting an array of needs to help people thrive!

As previous homeowners, landlords and rental tenants ourselves (yes, we’ve been on every side of it!), we understand how important it is to feel your pets and property are in safe, caring hands. We will treat your home with respect and give your animals all the love and attention they need and deserve.

We’d love to meet with you and your fur-scaled-and/or-feathered family! Please reach out with any questions.

Thanks so much,
Beth and Chris Read more...
