Steve and Shan - 7+ years Experience

More information about this house sitter

About Us

We are Steve and Shan, an experienced, reliable couple who have been house sitting full-time for more than seven years. During that time, we have cared for a wide variety of homes, pets and properties, building long-term relationships with homeowners who value trust, communication and peace of mind.

Steve has worked in the security industry for more than 20 years and has held a security licence throughout that time. His experience includes dog handling, event security, VIP protection, and most recently Security and Mine Rescue roles within the Queensland mining industry. Shan spent most of her career working in Human Resources for both the NSW Government and the UK Government, developing strong organisational, communication and people skills.

While we enjoy occasionally getting out to explore local areas, we spend the majority of our time at home. This means your property benefits from a regular presence, added security, and plenty of companionship and attention for your pets while you are away.

Having both owned our own homes, we understand the trust involved in handing over the care of your property. We treat every home with the same respect and care we would expect for our own, taking pride in maintaining it to a high standard and leaving it clean, tidy and well cared for upon your return.

Our Experience

Over the past seven years we have completed a diverse range of house-sitting assignments, caring for homes, pets, gardens, pools and acreage properties. We are happy to provide references, endorsements and contact details from previous homeowners.

We are currently based in Brisbane and are available for assignments throughout Queensland and beyond.

We also own a fully self-contained caravan and are happy to stay in it where this better suits a homeowner’s requirements.

In addition to house sitting, we have experience in Airbnb property management, including guest bookings, arrivals, check-ins, cleaning coordination, property turnovers and general caretaking responsibilities.
