Libby & Dan: Experienced house sitters Reviews

5 Rating 5 Reviews
Read Mindahome Reviews

We’re a friendly professional couple (38 and 43) looking for house sitting opportunities in Melbourne. Both animal lovers - we’ve had beloved cats, dogs and horses all through our lives and lost our old rescue boxer X Rocky to old age in 2022. After this we decided to give up renting and started housesitting to save for our own home. We’re tidy and house proud and have been housesitting via Mindahome and Trusted Housesitters since July 2022. We’ve been together for thirteen years and have lived in Melbourne and the Yarra Valley as well as many housesitting positions in Victoria and NSW. We have experience caring for all sorts of pets (including rescue dogs and cats), plants and homes. Libby is a keen gardener and loves outdoor plants, especially growing veggies and Dan loves tending indoor plants. We are both lawyers and able to work remotely which means between us there will be someone at home with your pets during the day. Non-smokers and both triple vaccinated. Responsible and respectful - we understand the importance of maintaining your home as you left it. We can provide Police checks and references for your peace of mind. In our spare time we enjoy watching movies, going for walks and eating good food. We also enjoy scuba diving and hiking when we’re not housesitting, anything to get outdoors.

Libby and Dan were perfect for us and our dog, Charlie. We were kept up to date with videos and photos and were so happy that Charlie was relaxed and pampered. We felt completely comfortable leaving everything in their hands. It was so nice returning home to an immaculate house and garden. We would love to have them back for our next holiday. Wonderful people and sitters.

Dan and Libby came to meet us prior to our sitting start date and proved to be an absolutely amazing couple-friendly, honest, and enthusiastic. They kept us informed about the antics of our little dog (She was taken on some lovely walks and fed according to our notes) When we returned home our lawn was cut, the house was sparkling clean and Dan stayed for the handover. We couldn’t wish for better house sitters. Thank you so much, Libby and Dan we really appreciate all your efforts. We hope you are available for our next adventure!!

We went overseas for six months and had Libby and Dan mind our house and our German shepherd and they were fabulous! Such wonderful people. They were always keeping us updated, kept everything neat and tidy, and most importantly they showed our dog so much care and attention. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with them. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for other house and pet sitting assignments.

We gave Libby and Dan a big task - away for 6 weeks, huge terraced garden with an auto watering system that can be imperfect, dozens of indoor and outdoor potted plants, an enthusiastic young labrador and shy cat, a large tropical fish tank. The list goes on...... On return we found all in abundant good health, the house very clean. The dog seemed a bit casual about our return, which says a lot about her care. It might seem silly to give them more than 10 out of 10, but we are tempted. Thanks guys and come back soon. Lisa and Graeme Newcastle

Libby stayed with my dogs. She was a delight to deal with. I would very happily use her again.
