About us :-
We’re Chartered Accountants from Australia. Paul is mostly-retired after selling his accountancy practice and Joanna works online. We are both mature professional adults, non smokers, very clean and tidy people, love cooking, taking long walks, travelling, housesitting and meeting new furry-friends.
Pauls family was originally from Malta & Joanna emigrated from the UK to Australia over 10 years ago.
We’ve been living from our suitcases for many years now and it has become our way of life. We love the combination of travelling and seeing new countries and cultures.
We have our own homes but they are rented out and we don’t have any commitments. This means we have the flexibility to be able to housesit, and put all our energy into offering a 5star service and take the best possible care of your homes and pets.

Why we want to housesit:-
Before we signed up to a couple of different housesitting websites, we did a few housesitting jobs for friends (in Australia and also Spain). This wet our appetite and we knew it was something we would love to do on a more long term basis.
With this in mind, we decided to start housesitting because it gives us greater opportunities to “live like a local” in different locations and explore areas we might not otherwise visit. Housesitting gives us the chance to experience living in many different environments, and have pets (even if only for the short term) that we cannot have ourselves whilst living our current lifestyle.
We never like to rush our travels (luckily we do not have to), and staying in any one particular location, whether that be a village, town or city for a few weeks, is the best experience anyone can get.

Our experience:
Our housesitting journey started in May 2018 when we did a road trip in our home country of Australia. We enjoyed the combination of travelling and housesitting so much that we’ve continued to do it worldwide.
We have now completed nearly 50 housesits in 14 different countries, obviously we’ve stayed in different styles of homes…normal suburban homes, exclusive houses in Sydney and Switzerland, small apartments in Athens, farmhouses in Ireland and Finca’s in Spain! There have been large gardens to care for, small yards, terraces and several pools. We have completed housesits ranging from 1 – 7 weeks.

As for the pets, we’ve had the pleasure to care for:
Dogs…..large, ‘very large’, part Dingo, small, cautious, boisterous, young puppies and some big softies. We have looked after 1, 2 and even 3 at a time. We’ve walked with them in forests & mountains and even swam with them at the beach or at lakes. We’ve done “off leash” and others have taken us for walk “on leash”!
Cats…… senior citizen cats, Maine Coons, Bengals, rescue cats, talkative Siamese and the variety that just like to turn up and live you.
Fish (goldfish & tropical fish), an aviary of canaries & finches, rabbits, chickens, alpacas and even a worm farm.
We have experience in removing ticks, dispensing medication including ear drops, eye drops, oral tablet (via oral pill popper) and worming medication. We have even looked after a post-op knee surgery dog.

Through our experience, it has become very obvious to us that having housesitters is definitely the best option for your pets. We are sometimes amazed at how quickly they accept us into their lives. They obviously feel so at ease being in their own environments and we become their new best friends over night!

We only apply for assignments that we know we have the capability to complete to the full expectations of the owners. We love to housesit, and always do an assignment through choice, not necessity.
We really hope to hear from you!
