Holly & Scott

More information about this house sitter

We are an animal-loving couple from Scotland, currently living in Sydney and exploring Australia while helping others care for their homes and pets.

After finishing my law degree, my partner and I decided to see the world before settling into a 9 to 5 lifestyle. We have loved exploring everything this beautiful country has to offer, from the Gold Coast to Sydney, which we now call home.

We are clean, responsible, and absolutely love animals. I have grown up with cats my whole life, Mercedes, who is 16, and Princess, and Scott has always had dogs. He has two border collies, Lola and Sammy, whom he loved very much. He regularly cared for Lola by giving her medication for her epilepsy, so we are both comfortable looking after pets that need a little extra attention or care.

I have house-sat for both cats and dogs, mostly for family and friends, usually for a few days at a time. One memorable sit was for a family member while they were on holiday, where I cared for their cocker spaniel, Lexi, who is extremely energetic and full of personality. I made sure she had plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention while keeping their home clean and secure. I have also looked after my stepdad’s father’s dog, Denny, who was more like a cat in spirit and loved cuddling and sleeping most of the day. These experiences have given me confidence in caring for pets of all personalities, from hyperactive dogs to calm companions, while maintaining a safe and comfortable home environment.

We are open to both short and long-term sits and are happy to look after pets of all ages and personalities. We love spending time outdoors, so active dogs are no problem for us, and we also enjoy cosy nights in with cuddly cats.

We both spend a lot of time at home, working remotely or studying, which means your pets will have plenty of company and attention. We love going for long walks, visiting parks, and making sure your pets feel relaxed and cared for.

We are great communicators and are happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax while you are away. We treat every sit as if it were our own home, keeping everything clean, organised, and respected. We are also happy to water plants, collect mail, and look after general house care while you are away.

We will love your furry friends unconditionally, while keeping your home exactly as you left it. We would love the chance to care for your pets and your home as if they were our own.

We have multiple references available upon request. Both house sits from the UK and Australia. Read more...
