Mark & Barb

More information about this house sitter

We are a semi-retired couple from Cambridge, UK. We love visiting Australia each year –this is our 3rd year– and seeing our daughter and grandson who have their own home on the Sunshine Coast.
We are respectful, reliable and caring about your homes and pets. As freelance designers, we work from home, whilst housesitting and looking after your pets.

We have always had cats as family pets as the children were growing up, and we now we get the chance to cuddle and fuss other people's fur babies!

Please take a look at our profile and let us know if you are interested and would like to arrange a phone call or video call (Whatsapp, Zoom etc).
We have just joined this website but have 5*reviews from other housesitting sites in Australia and Europe. Can supply copies. Two are attached here as photos. References included below:

Barb and Mark were delightful, we loved meeting them and our dog, who can be temperamental with new people in our house, loved them. They took great care of our house and the neighbour even said they were very quiet, I couldn’t recommend them more, we felt completely comfortable with the 2 of them in our house with our precious dog!

To make my holiday stressless is what I wanted, and Barb and Mark gave this to me. Their communication was great and gave me the opportunity to concentrate on having a wonderful holiday. I recommend them for anyone one wanting peace of mind that their property and special pets are well cared for. Thank you Mark and Barb, very happy . Victoria.

Mark and Barbara kept our home clean and tidy and attended to the lawn mowing and monitored our pool level. Would be happy to have them house sit again and can recommend them as house sitters.

Mark and Barbara did a fantastic job housesitting our home. They are super friendly, reliable and I was confident that our home was in good hands. They did a great job of looking after the house, pool and gardens. They kept in regular contact and the house was left in a spotless condition. I would definitely recommend Mark and Barbara to other home owners and would happily have them housesit for us in the future. Read more...
