Anne & Tony Reviews

4.9 Rating 10 Reviews

My husband and I have been married 50 years and, after operating our own businesses for 35 years, we have now retired.

We are fit, energetic; trustworthy; reliable and easy-going. Importantly, we are non-smokers.

We are good housekeepers (maybe even a little fussy?!) and we very much enjoy working in the garden and having pets around us.

We have lived in Mont Albert - in Melbourne’s “leafy eastern suburbs” - throughout our married life and have now sold our family home.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our house-sitting and it has allowed us to meet people in different communities and to travel extensively within Australia and Tasmania.

We are also keen to spend time in New Zealand; Europe; the UK and USA.

We are looking forward keenly to this “next phase”.

We have 4 adult children (one son and three daughters) and six grandchildren.

Our eldest daughter and her husband live in the USA (Orlando, Florida) where she (and her family) are having great success.

Our youngest daughter and her husband have now returned to live and work in Sydney after spending 13 very successful years working in the United States and Europe.

Our “middle” daughter is married and manages a successful health sciences practice in Perth, Western Australia, and is settled there with her partner.

Our son (our eldest) and his wife and two sons live in beautiful bayside Melbourne.

We have received a number of reviews from home owners and we would ask that you consider them when assessing our suitability for your house sit. We feel you may find them helpful.

If you would like to meet us before making your decision we would be very happy to catch up over a coffee (or similar) in your area.

A face-to-face meeting can often be important in establishing an initial connection.

However, if a personal catch-up isn’t convenient, then we’d be happy to meet via Skype; Zoom; FaceTime; WhatsApp etc.

We are COVID-quadruple vaccinated and hold a Police clearance.

“Anne & Tony were the perfect house guests ( house sitters). From our initial meeting, we felt confident that they would be ideal to take care of all our fur and feathered family. Our dogs immediately took to them, which was the most important aspect for us, plus had lots of experience staying on properties with land and animals. We have chickens, alpacas and 2 dogs. They looked after everything wonderfully. We got home to a lovely clean house, fresh sheets on our bed and a cake baked that morning. Most importantly the dogs were very relaxed. In fact I thought one of the dogs was more interested in Tony’s pats, than us getting home. We so appreciated their relaxed manner and attention to detail. Could not have had a better fit for our fur family and property. Thanks so much Anne & Tony. You made our holiday even more relaxing xx”

He loves to be hugged and played with. Anne & Tony looked after him like he was their own. They looked after our house like it was their own. I highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much for your help with Alvin we truly appreciate it and felt as ease while we were away. Marie and Peter”

“We couldn’t have asked for better house and pet sitters! From the moment I met Anne and Tony, I felt completely at ease leaving our home, two dogs, and cat in their care. They looked after everything beautifully — the dogs were walked twice a day, given their medication reliably, and were happy and relaxed when we got home. Our cat was clearly pampered too! The house was spotless on our return and everything was exactly as we left it. Anne and Tony are genuinely lovely people, they are thoughtful, responsible and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend them and I hope they have time to come back soon. Thanks Anne and Tony :)”

“Anne & Tony looked after our dog and house and did a fantastic job. Pepper (our dog) was happy and he enjoyed his walks with them. As we were arriving home late we asked that they leave our dog in the house however they didn’t like to leave him alone and waited for our return which impressed us immensely. We have no hesitation in recommending Anne and Tony to future home owners looking for house sitters”

“This house sit for me was all about my 2 puppy dogs - Ben & Alice Anne & Tony gave them excellent care and I could see an immediate connection between them upon first meeting. I received regular updates and photos during my 6 week absence and upon my return also see how calm, happy and well cared for Alice & Ben were with Anne & Tony Living in a small village I have had numerous comments about how often they were out walking and how happy the puppies were I recommend Anne & Tony and would have them back in the future should their busy schedule allow.

“We were so fortunate to have Anne & Tony look after our house, 2 dogs and our special needs cat. We came home after 12 days and found our house spotlessly clean and our pets looking well fed and happy. I would highly recommend these lovely people, and hope to have them back again some day.”

“Lovely conscientious couple who looked after Charlie and my home beautifully. If they hadn't been there to hand back to me, I never would have known they'd been there for 3 weeks! I would highly recommend and I'll be seeing if they're available next time I need homesit services!”

“This is the first time I have used this service and was very impressed with the whole process. My house sitters, Anne and Tony are very warm and friendly. On meeting them my animals took to them immediately and I felt reassured on our first meeting. I was sent regular updates throughout their stay at my home. One of my dogs required daily medication and Anne looked after the administration very capably. On returning home I found the house had been left spotless and Tony had taken great care of my garden, even doing some weeding for me. Thankyou Anne and Tony for taking such good care of my four legged family and allowing me to have a stress free holiday. I would definitely welcome Anne and Tony back into my home in the future.”
