Sandy & Mark (work-at-home author)

More information about this house sitter

Hello!
We are a reliable, caring, animal-loving couple based in South Australia.
ESPECIALLY LOOKING FOR NT IN AUGUST (or early September) 2026.

We've been homeowners for over 35 years, so understand the importance of respecting this precious asset and keeping things running smoothly. We’re tidy, trustworthy and committed to making your time away stress-free.

I’m an author (Sandy Vaile) and fiction coach, and my husband is newly retired, so we are looking forward to travelling more. We enjoy the quiet life, nature walks and dining out. Our favourite places to stay are rural areas.

Over the years, we’ve shared our lives with large dogs, horses, guinea pigs, birds and even spinifex hopping mice.
During our house-sitting adventures we've cared for sheep, dogs, horses, chickens, fish, an axolotl and gardens.
So, we’re confident with big and small animals, and treat them with the kindness and cuddles our furry (or scaled or feathered) friends deserve.

If you're looking for a quiet couple who will treat your home and animals with genuine respect and affection, we’d love to connect.
