We are two semi retired ladies who have a good outlook on life, an adventure to explore new areas and to help others out by looking after their properties and fur babies whilst you take a break.
We are Full time Travellers since September 2019, so a place for 'OUR' home on wheels (our Caravan) on your property is a 'Must' for us please or we have to find somewhere close by for it to be stored and then unfortunately it costs us to have to have it stored away whilst sitting your home for free.
So space for our Caravan would be awesome!
We are Mothers to 3 lovely young Women who have blessed us with 7 gorgeous Grandchildren, ageing from 3 years old to a 20 year old.
We are originally from The Yarra Valley in Victoria (Beautiful part of Victoria)
Our travels brought us up to Queensland and beyond for health reasons first off, but We’ve been stationed in and around the Bundaberg/Bargara/Hervey Bay regions for near 4 years and have now successfully completed numerous (60plus) house/fur babysits including repeats in the Hervey Bay areas and also in Victoria, when we visit family. We have made some lovely friends and within these, are several homeowners and their fur babies that we keep in contact with in the beautiful Wide bay and surrounding areas.
We also have quite a few repeat housesits booked in for 2025-2026-2027 as you'll see from our calendar.
We will take care of your home as if it were our own & take care of your fur/feathered friends too.
We bring our own food, linen as well, we'll use your consumables up in the fridge if you prefer us to, just to save them going off or being thrown away depending on your time frame away. (Most of our clients have told us to use them up).
We do ask if we can use your internet whilst we are there sitting your home and furbabies and we don't ask for payments either But "Gratuities" though are always welcomed as a thank you, all of which has been greatly appreciated and graciously received.
We really love what we do for others.
We will leave your home as you left it with us and Your gardens will be kept tidy, unless you have them done by a gardener already! We’ll collect your mail and leave it in a safe place in your home and we can leave fresh bread & milk for you if you'd like, for your return home unless you've already picked it up on your way back.
Most of all though!
Your fur/feathered or hairy babies will be stress/anxiety free. Dogs walked daily if thats their routine, plus medications given if any are, at the expected time they are needed.
Both Shirl and I are fully (4) Covid vaxxed and yearly flu jabs done too.
We have written references, but references are on the sites we are on, plus verbal if needed.
We’ve been fairly busy with our housesitting adventures even down in Victoria whilst we were there and up in the Atherton Tablelands further north too.
If we can help you out at all, please message. We can send photos regularly via 'Messenger' or preferably
Whatsapp to keep you informed of any goings on etc.
We’d love to hear from you if you think we’d fit your requirements.
"Just a couple of housekeeping requests if we could ask though please"!
We do ask though that you clean your: 1/ toaster tray. 2/ Air fryer if you have one. 3/ the filter in the washing machine too, if you could please.
We've had some really nasty surprises when it comes to these items in our travels lol.
Hope to help any of you out in the future.
Kind regards & Cheers for now.
Carol & Shirl
PS. There may not be any updated references to post as most of our Housesits for the remainder of 2025 are repeat sits and so will the 2026-2027 also be repeats.
I'll ask for hand written references for any others that may come up.
Cheers for now. C & S
