Read Mindahome Reviews

Married couple, retired, love animals, extremely house proud and clean. Looking to explore different areas for a change of scene. Have sat for friends and family to look after their animals (dogs and cats) references available.
Moved from the Gold Coast and enjoyed it, so North or South Coast would be great, but open to suggestions, know Brisbane well as lived here for 30 years.
Prefer more than 14 day sits. Presently house sitting 2 lovely indoor cats .We have now sat for almost a year and have cared for cats, dogs and birds and really enjoyed it, only problem you get to love the animals and it's hard to leave them. Cheer, Margaret & Chris.

We would like to highly recommend Margaret and Chris to anyone who needs a wonderful caring couple to look after their house and precious pets, they took care of our house and puppies for 11 days. Our 2 Border Collie girls Misty and Sonny absolutely adored them. The house was spotless and we would be very happy to have them here anytime..they are a lovely couple, thank you so much Margaret and Chris.

I can highly recommend Margaret & Chris for taking care of any animals. I came home from my holiday and my fur & feathers babies were happy and the house was clean. They kept me updated with photos and that put my mind at ease that they were ok. Thanks for taking care of my babies. Sorry about the bad weather we had while you were here. Enjoy your little present that Chilli, Zuma, Snowy and Ninja got you both. They are both lovely people and very trustworthy. Thanks again and enjoy where ever you go on your pet sitting journey From Belinda & Terry

Chris and Margaret looked after our house and our 2 dogs for 8 days. We met with them beforehand and were confident we’d made the right choice. We returned home to happy dogs, and a clean and tidy house. The dogs were happy to see them again the following day when they called in. We would definitely recommend them.

We are so grateful to Margaret and Chris who cared for our pups and our home so beautifully. We are thrilled to have found them and now consider them to be our friends. Our pups were walked regularly and are very happy. We highly recommend Margaret and Chris. Joy and Mark (Bella and Indy!)

Margaret and Chris were fantastic house sitters! They were clean and tidy, the dogs loved them and were really easy to work with. I would definitely recommend them and wouldn't hesitate in using them again.

We've used housesitters over the years & all were fantastic. This time, what we came home to was deeply disappointing. Our house was absolutely filthy: There was fecal matter on the toilet seats (top and bottom), grime-covered floors, dirty dishes in the cabinets, sauce-covered cabinets, and much more... (yes, I have pictures) Broken items, unasked visitors and an uncomfortable interaction with a complaint about the desk size we cleared specifically for her, while at the initial walk-through, she said it would be perfect. The comment: ''Don't you have a study in your house like other people?'' was off-putting. The wellbeing of our cats is what concerns us the most. They lost a noticeable amount of weight—something we've never seen happen with any of our previous sitters. We genuinely wish we didn’t have to leave this review, but we hope it serves as a useful caution to others.

Margaret was a wonderful temporary addition to our pet family and we thank her for looking after our pets while we were away. I highly recommend her.
