More information about this house sitter

Hello,

Actively seeking housesits in NSW from mid-July to mid-August, 2026. Also Perth in late October/early November, 2026. But we also LOVE country Victoria - so please reach out if you think we might be a match :)

We really love pets and enjoy experiencing new places along the way. We’ve had cats and dogs our entire lives, from energetic puppies to much-loved senior pets, so your animals will be in kind, experienced hands.

We've housesat loads of times, taking care of dogs, cats, chickens, fish, birds in aviary and even stick insects!

We’re ideally looking for housesits where we can bring our own gorgeous kelpie x cattle dog, Riley. He’s a friendly, happy, ball-obsessed boy who adores other pets and people and settles easily into new environments.

We'd love to spend some time in NSW from mid-July to end of August, the Central Coast or Sydney, or the Margaret River region in WA in late October.

We run an online business, which means we’re home most of the time and able to provide plenty of company, routine and reassurance for your pets while you’re away.

Bruce is also a keen gardener and will happily care for your plants and garden.

We’re comfortable in regional, suburban and city locations, although we don’t have much experience with farm animals (except those chickens!)

As former AirBnB hosts and guests with excellent reviews, we understand how important it is to respect someone’s home, and we’ll treat yours as we would our own.

We’re very happy to provide references and police checks on request.

Here are a just a few quotes from our references/reviews:

Looking forward to hearing from you!

"We were blown away by the care Julie and Bruce took of our dogs and house. We have come back to very happy dogs and a house that is the cleanest it has ever been. Communication was easy and our pups miss them and their beautiful dog. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you so much! ”
Louarde - Patterson Lakes, Victoria - 22 Sep 2025

"Julie and Bruce were excellent house sitters! We came home to a beautifully looked after house and two very happy, well cared for dogs. They communicated with us clearly and regularly, keeping in touch and providing updates. We would definitely have them house sit again!" Jordan - Wanniassa, ACT - 23 Jun 2025

"We got lots of great updates and pics while we were away, of them and our hounds enjoying walks on the beach and cuddles at home. It was great to know they were in great loving hands..." Kerry, Avoca Beach, NSW

"It was a pleasure to host Julie, her husband and their dog😊. They followed all house rules and left the room very tidy. I would recommend them to other hosts."
Eileen (Yongmei), Asquith, NSW
