We are Anna & Duncan from a small beautiful coastal area located on the northeast coast of Australia, not far from the famous Byron Bay.

We have recently returned from a 7-month trip around Europe travelling and working, whilst also visiting Duncan's family in Leeds (UK). While we are excited about returning to our beautiful country, we are also looking for opportunities to keep our explorations going a little bit longer before we move back into our home.

A little bit about us:

I (Anna) am 39 years old and I run my own graphic design business. As I work for myself, I mainly work from home.

I am a lover of all animals and find them incredibly healing. They make me happy and bring me lots of joy. I am that girl at a gathering that is sitting on the floor patting a dog while everyone else is mingling.

Duncan works as an operation & reservations manager for a local Byron Bay company running beautiful horse rides on the beach and is originally from Leeds, UK. Outside of that, he is a talented musician and loves to surf.

We both love nature, exploring, meeting new people and seeing new places.

We own our own property, which is currently rented by lovely tenants until we decide to return home. We are incredibly house proud and know what it takes to look after a property. We are both extremely tidy (Duncan is a bit OCD) and respectful of people’s homes - our Airbnb feedback is usually ‘it was as if they weren’t even there’.

We both have extensive experience with pets and have owned animals all our lives whilst also being on speed dial with friends for regular pet sits. We predominantly have experience with cats & dogs and a small amount of experience with horses.

We have done a bit of house sitting while travelling through the UK and have been house sitting since we have returned to Australia, and I (Anna), have also done some pet sitting previously through a company called Mad Paws in Australia.

Anna and Duncan were wonderful house sitters! They kept our home lovely and tidy and sent wonderful and regular updates. We felt we could have a much more relaxing holiday knowing our precious cat was in good hands. Our cat was in great spirits when we returned so we know he had a wonderful time too! Thanks Anna and Duncan, we hope we can engage you again in the future :)

Anna & Duncan were amazing. They adored Falcon like their own, sent us pictures & videos which was so nice as we were so far from home. They also took great care of the house, plants & left it immaculate. Great communication, zero stress & we returned to a very happy dog & a clean house. Genuine couple, very friendly & trustworthy. We will definitely ask them to sit again next time we travel if they are free. 10/10 experience. Thank you Anna

How lucky were we to have Anna & Duncan housesit for us for 6 weeks. They remained sanguine and competent in the face of frustrating weather, ground squelching mud each time a person stepped out, tree dahlias uprooting in storms, our naughty kelpie finding something revolting to roll in and wanting to climb on the bed & our wonderful cattle dog throwing up on the carpet. All to the backdrop of frequent NBN failures & power outages while they were working from home. They kept us fully informed so we had peace of mind & enjoyed our time away. Our dogs loved them & missed them after they left. Anna kept all 32 of my temperamental seedlings alive (thankyou Anna) & Duncan managed the grass in spite of the frustratingly unseasonal storms. I highly recommend Anna & Duncan as intelligent, capable, efficient house sitters & will definitely be lucky if they agree to housesit for us again.
