We stayed in a gorgeous century-old home in the innerwest taking care of four sweet cats (two outdoor, two indoor) and an adorable dog who thinks she's a cat. We were very careful to not let the indoor cats outside to prevent them from getting lost. We also took care of the garden as per the host's request.

We enjoyed one week in a suburban home caring for one big German Shepard puppy, two kind cats, and a cockatoo. The puppy was very active and learning to manage his own strength, but we were able to handle his big energy and have fun on our walks!
Took care of two beautiful Huskies in an apartment in a suburb of Sydney. The lovely girls have a lot of energy, so we took them for walks four times a day. Adam's favorite band from NY happened to be in Sydney so we attended the concert. Lianne took public transport from downtown to the suburbs to walk the dogs in the evening and then went back out to the concert. We did not miss any walks for these two energetic girls - caring for the pets is our #1 priority. They got lots of attention from us! "This was our first house sitting experience so I was uneasy initially and did not know what to expect. Adam and Lianne gave us some peace of mind while we were gone. They were great. They took really good care of our pups. We were in constant contact with them via email and they offered to do a video link up to see the pups. Adam and Lianne are a great couple and put our minds to ease. I think our dogs miss them. Feel free to contact me as a reference either by phone or email. Thanks again guys! I hope you enjoy Australia!"
We spent a week in a suburban home in the Central Coast feeding the chickens and rabbit as well as taking care of a 12-year-old Border Collie, Jessie, who loves belly rubs and relaxing! Jessie had some anxiety at first, but after about two days, she warmed up to us and we got along great! Adam also did some lawn maintenance. Adam and Lianne were fantastic. They cared for our chickens and rabbit. They were obviously concerned about our older dog who has separation and anxiety issues. They ensured she was cared for and felt happy with them, a great relief to us whilst on holiday. The house was spotless when we arrived home and they had even baked us some cookies. I highly recommend Lianne and Adam and with them caring for your home and pets you can relax and enjoy your holiday.
We housesat in a large home in the Sunshine Coast Hinterlands. We took care of two spunky Papillion dogs, native birds, a possum, and fish as well as cleaning the pool. We came to really love these dogs and their contagious energy!

[Lianne] I volunteered to take care of a cat for a few days while a fellow English teacher was out of town. While I couldn't have the cat in my own apartment, I rode my bike twice a day to feed and play with the lovable cat.
[Lianne] My first housesitting experience was for one week in a large home in Jacksonville, Florida, USA. I took care of two golden retrievers and helped maintain the house - cleaning the inside, backyard, and pool. I subsequently babysat for the family several times.
[Lianne] I started babysitting when I was 14 years old and continued through high school and college as well as post-college. Since I often babysat for up to 8 hours, I maintained the house and took care of the pets in addition to childcare. |
