Julie

2023 we are travelled Australia in our motorhome. 2024 has seen us become based in our own home and now we have the room to have your furry friends come to us to stay and play. Happy to accommodate inside dogs and outside. We even have an empty chicken coop if any chickens need a short term home. 

Petsitting in your home (Brisbane Southside/Northside/Gold Coast/Sunshine Coast): My husband and I have been house/pet sitting since 2013, we are experienced in looking after dogs of all ages and sizes. We have looked after friendly cats and nervous cats - even the nervous ones become friendly and love the pats and cuddles. 

Our preference has always been to stay in your home and give your fur babies lots of attention and care rather than just pop in for a visit and then leave them alone. But now we have the room to have them stay with us. When housesitting and petsitting we spend a lot of time with your precious pet, my husband is retired and i work from home over the internet, so very unusual for us to leave your pet or home for any length of time. We take home security and care very seriously. We will be in contact via text to reasure you all is well, photo's can be sent as often as you require for peace of mind. 

We care for dogs, cats, fish and birds. We have cared for many beautiful loving pets and lovely homes.

Currently without pets of our own we really enjoy petsitting and making new friends.

We can supply many references from happy owners.

We often get invited back to do a repeat sit.

We love petsitting and feel honoured that pet owners trust us with their pets and homes, you can rest assured we will look after your pets and homes as though they were our own.

No problems with cleaning litter boxes, fur ball vomits, administering medications if needed. 

Dogs will be walked, pets will receive loads of cuddles, pats and attention.

Plants will be watered, mail collected and lawns mowed if needed during our stay. 

Happy to send daily updates and photo's of your pets while you are away.

Please give me some details about yourself/home/pets when you ask us to house/pet sit.

Some snippets from our references :

- "Ken mowed our lawn for us as well which we never expected but were very grateful on our return as it was one less thing to have to do, the house was also left in an immaculate condition and I did not have to worry about vacuuming or cleaning on our return. We were so impressed with Ken and Julie and have asked them back to look after our home and fur babies if it fits in their calendar."

" Upon our return we were very happy and will definitely have them back in the future. Arriving home we thought "this isn't our house" - because it was so beautiful and spotless. Our home was left in immaculate condition both inside and out. We cannot thank Ken and Julie enough for the care they took of our home for the 6 months we were away. They also communicated with us regularly and forwarded mail"

"Our experience having Julie and Ken as house sitters was a very positive one and we have no hesitation in recommending them. They seem like very honest, caring, respectful people who enjoy staying in different places exploring the local area at their leisure."

"Julie and Ken were great house sitters, they made a point of visiting me and Molly before the sit, were easy to communicate with and took great care of my cat and home. I appreciated the communication part way through my holiday on how things were."

"We were very fortunate to have Ken and Julie house sit for us for 5 weeks . They were a delightful couple who looked after our large residence very well. We have a couple of small dogs who required tender loving care and they both were very spoilt by Ken and Julie."

"In addition to the house they also had to care for my 2 year old Ragdoll cat, Zach.

After an exhausting holiday it was fantastic to come home to find the house well looked after, clean and tidy as well as Zach looking content, relaxed and well cared for."

"They took excellent care of the pets, and kept us up to date with emails and photos. They always replied promptly to our emails and texts. We found them friendly and honest. "

"We have a good sized home with two cats and a very demanding, cheeky puppy. The most important thing for us was that our pets were happy and healthy when we returned. Not only was this the case, but I’m quite sure they were missing Julie and Ken and all the spoiling that they must have had. "

"We just wanted to say how much we appreciated you looking after our new puppy “Smudgy” while we were away. Thanks for the text message update to put our minds at rest – knowing that he was getting lots of attention and care. "

"We had the pleasure of Julie and Ken staying in our home and looking after our fur babies recently. The care and attention to detail with each of our pets was unmatched. We received daily updates and photos on how each was going. They have a genuine interest in animals and their wellbeing and this was very evident throughout their stay. Not only that, our house was immaculate when we returned – so lovely! We will definitely be booking Julie and Ken in again and have no hesitation in recommending them. "
