Responsible, mature couple

More information about this house sitter

Hello! We’re Simon and Leanne, a married couple from Melbourne who are beginning a long-term plan to travel around Australia (and later internationally) using house- and pet-sitting. We’re both professionals, extremely house-proud, and we treat every home with the same care and attention that we give our own.

We are non-smokers, quiet, responsible, and we enjoy a calm lifestyle. We love exploring new regions, enjoying local walks, cooking at home, and spending time with animals — from energetic dogs who love walks to affectionate cats who enjoy company.

Although we are new to the platforms, we are long-time homeowners and fully understand what it means to respect someone else’s property, maintain cleanliness, and handle unexpected issues responsibly.

Why We’re House Sitting

We’re planning to spend extended periods travelling and exploring different parts of Australia over the next few years. House sitting allows us to live like locals, care for animals, and experience different communities in a meaningful way. We genuinely enjoy the routine and responsibility that comes with pet care.

Experience With Pets & Homes

Both of us have long experience with dogs and cats (family pets over the years)

Comfortable with feeding schedules, walking routines, basic grooming, and medication if needed

Respectful of house rules, routines, and security practices

Very clean and organised—your home will be returned exactly as you left it

Capable with small domestic tasks (bins, plants, mail, light garden care)

If your pets love company, cuddles on the couch, long walks, or just someone calm in the house — they’ll be in very good hands.
