House and Pet Sitting Services
Do you need your house and/or pets looked after? We can help!
Victoria and I are a responsible couple in our early 40s with a passion for travel, animals, and maintaining beautiful homes. With our two adult children now living in Adelaide and Queenstown, we’ve embraced the freedom to explore the world, and over the past 12 months, we’ve taken on the wonderful role of house and pet sitters. During this time, we’ve had the privilege of caring for 28 pets, including cats, dogs, and even a fish! We’ve developed a strong sense of responsibility and pride ourselves on ensuring both the animals and the homes we care for are looked after to the highest standard.
We approach each house sit as if it were our own home, making sure that pets are happy and well-cared for, while also leaving the property and garden in pristine condition. Whether it’s a long dog walk, tending to the garden, or simply spending time with a playful kitten, we love immersing ourselves in each unique environment. Our goal is always to give homeowners peace of mind while they’re away, knowing they will return to a spotless house and content pets.
With over 20 years of experience owning and maintaining our own homes, and having raised animals from our farming backgrounds, we bring practical skills and a meticulous eye for detail. Paul, as a property valuer, has an in-depth understanding of home maintenance, and Victoria’s experience as a chef adds an extra touch of care when it comes to creating comfortable environments. We believe in leaving every home better than we found it, ensuring that pets and plants thrive, and that homeowners can return to their sanctuary without a worry.

‘I feel I hit the jackpot with Paul and Victoria, they are wonderful. They are just a delightful couple and outstanding house sitters. I returned to a sparkling clean house, a very happy dog, fresh flowers and a wonderful bowl of soup. They really are excellent at what they do. They looked after Lola beautifully, and updated me regularly. An added bonus was that they cut the grass despite the terrible weather. They are people who give more than they take. They are really the best housesitters and I highly recommend them. Thank you very much. Come again please!’ – Gillian via THS
‘I was away on holiday when Victoria and Paul looked after the cats. It was a short sit. They communicated with me regarding the cats and sent photos often. They were reliable and also left the house clean and tidy when they left. I would recommend this couple for future house sits.’ – Inde via THS
‘Absolute DREAM petsitters, honestly..they are genuinely great people, really personable and friendly, also calm and connected beautifully with my cats, one of which is very wary of people. They communicated easily, keep me updated during the sit and left a very thorough ‘closing’ voice note when they left on last day so I knew exactly what was what. They are just so very reliable and left me in complete ease and confidence with my dear pets & my flat. The house was absolutely immaculate when I got back, they even did the laundry! Honestly can’t rate them highly enough, if you’re ever lucky enough to have them available to sit for you, snap them up! Thanks Paul & Vic. Happy travels’ – Jenica via THS
‘Paul and Victoria were the perfect pet-sitters! They not only left the house tidier and cleaner than when they arrived, and stocked up with the essentials for our arrival home (plus wine and flowers), but they kept us fully up to date with all the fun the dogs were having and even dealt with an emergency vet visit for a burst anal gland. I would 100% recommend them!’ – Juliet via THS
‘Paul and Victoria have looked after our home and our Labrador, Ollie, on two occasions, totaling six weeks. Throughout their stay, they provided exceptional care for Ollie, who clearly adored them. They also kept the house immaculate, mowed the lawns, and tended to the gardens with great attention to detail. We returned to a spotless home and a happy dog each time. Paul and Victoria are trustworthy, reliable, and went above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend them to anyone in need of house and pet sitters.’ – Jane and Craig via THS
‘I have known Paul professionally and as a friend for over 10 years. He has always been friendly and reliable in all our dealings. He house / pet sat for us for 5 weeks while we were in Europe.

We would unreservedly recommend them as house / pet sitters.’ – Julia via THS

‘Paul and Victoria did such an excellent job house sitting for us. They took great care of our dogs, ensuring they were well-fed, walked, and given the love they needed. Our home was left in impeccable condition. They are obviously responsible and trustworthy people but they really went the extra mile, sending us regular updates and pics of the dogs. We couldn’t have wished for better! We could relax on our holiday, knowing our house and dogs were in great hands. For anyone in need of reliable house sitters, we couldn’t recommend them more!’ – Nikki via THS
‘Due to circumstances we did not meet Paul and Victoria at the beginning of the sit – they took over from other sitters. However they were here for us on our return and it was lovely to meet them. The house was spotless , the cats were happy so all perfect. Victoria had even cooked us dinner knowing we had been travelling for over 30 hours. So huge thanks to both of you and continue to enjoy your travels.’ – Debbie via THS
