Tom & Tony

More information about this house sitter

Hi, we are Tom and Tony 👋

We’re a calm, respectful couple who recently moved to Melbourne from North Queensland 🌴 and are enjoying getting to know this beautiful city. We bring an organised, practical approach to house and pet sitting - your home will be treated with care 🏡, and your pets with affection, consistency and routine 🐾.

Tony works in data and analytics (a self-confessed tech nerd 🤓), and enjoys time with friends and family, nature walks 🌿 and keeping things organised. He grew up in South Africa and has also lived in the UK and Italy before settling in Australia.

Tom works as a PMO Lead at a council in South East Melbourne. He grew up in the UK 🇬🇧 and has lived in Australia for just over a year. Tom is warm, playful and enjoys consistent routines — something that translates well to keeping pets happy and settled 🐶🐱.

At least one of us typically works from home 2–3 days per week 💻, meaning your pets will have regular company and supervision during the day.

Our dream is to one day buy a home and watch our cats and dogs play in the backyard 🏠🐕🐈. We’re currently saving towards our first home and see pet and house sitting as a wonderful way to do that while also experiencing different neighbourhoods and getting to know this lovely city more deeply 🗺️.

We understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your home and pets in someone else’s care 🤍. We communicate clearly, provide regular updates and photos 📸 as needed, and follow your instructions and routines closely so your pets feel secure and settled.

We are non-smokers, tidy, and happy to maintain gardens 🌱, water plants and keep everything running smoothly while you’re away ✨. We’re also very happy to meet beforehand for an informal chat so you can feel completely confident.

We would love to care for your home as if it were our own 🏡. Read more...
