More information about this house sitter

*The best house sitters you could possibly wish for...*
That's what we aim to be, and if you bear with us and read the rest of this description we’ll try to convince you that that is exactly what you’ll be getting if you’re choosing us.

We understand that everybody can just sit a house, but we take it a few steps further: we try to make your experience absolutely delightful from the second you decide to leave home to the moment you return.

We don’t just sit your house, we’ll clean it, do your chores, do your groceries and love your pets like no-one’s ever done before. Sounds good? Then read on to learn a bit more about us and what we can do for you.

Who are we?
We are Emma & Jesse, a Dutch/Kiwi couple who have recently traveled much of Europe, have spent the last 4 months in NZ and are now looking to stay in Australia. Emma is a former chartered accountant turned Holistic Health Coach and Jesse is an experienced online entrepreneur who just sold his first business and is looking for the next thing to do. We both work from home, meaning we’ll have all the time in the world for any pets or other home-bound activities that we might need to do. We’re quiet, are usually in bed by 9.30, get up early and enjoy being outside.

We also love animals. Jesse even grew up on a farm and has previously taken care of horses, (many) dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, hamsters, guinea pigs and some others. One of our favorite activities is taking long walks with the dogs and enjoying the outdoors. Emma absolutely adores cats and will treat yours like it’s her little baby (only if they like that, because we all know cats usually have their own plans & preferences sometimes).

Some of our experience:
- One week housesit caring for two lovely felines and some chickens
- One month looking after a converted farm with 2 horses, a cat and a dog
- One month house sitting a townhouse in portugal
- Several shorter term house sits caring for two dogs

The benefits of choosing us:
- We don’t really drink (so no parties) and never smoke
- Emma is a clean freak, so the house will never get messy
- Experienced in caring for many types of animals
- Will do any chores necessary: water your lawns, collect your mail, mowing your lawn
- We work from home, so won’t have to leave your pets at home to go to work
- Very flexible in our time, meaning we can spend lots of time on your pets when they are in need of attention
- We do many things to go above and beyond for you to make your experience as great as possible (see below for more on that)


The extra’s - how we go above & beyond for you:
We know you want your vacation to be as stress free as possible, and we want to accommodate that. To make your experience is good as possible we will include the following (pretty awesome) things if you choose use to sit your house and/or pets:
- No stress before leaving the house: there’s no need to leave the house clean before you leave: we will clean your house for you as soon as we arrive.
- No stress about damage: we look after your stuff as if it was our own, but if you feel nervous we are willing to provide a refundable bond for our stay in case you’re worried about stuff getting damaged.
- Come home to a tidy home: Before we leave we will make sure your house looks as tidy and clean as possible, so that you can just come home and relax without anything to worry about.
- We will do your groceries for you: You know that feeling of returning after vacation and having nothing in the house? Not anymore! Just give us a list of all the things you need, and we’ll go to the store just before you return and make sure your kitchen is well-stocked as soon as you return. (You do have to pay for the actual groceries of course)
- Come home to delicious fresh baked goods: Upon your return, you will find some homemade cookies, cake, slices or anything else if you have specific requests made by Emma, who is a (very skilled) hobbyist baker. We can even make you keto versions of your favorite treats if you’d like!

Does all of the above sound good to you? Then we’d love for you to flick us a message so we can discuss your needs. Read more...
