Peter a young 70 and Yvonne not quite 60! Departed Adelaide for our 2-year journey around Australia. Loving Queensland. We have completed some wonderful housesits, met beautiful people and animals and have made great friends along the way. Looking for house sit from 3rd of July onwards Maryborough or near Hervey Bay.

Looking for house sitting stays:
Hervey Bay or within 50kms
5th July 2025 onwards

Our goal is to take our time travelling, meet lovely people, do some house sitting to get our pet fix and enjoy outdoors. Our hobbies: Fishing, outdoors, camping, gardening, renovating, lovers of pets and all animals, cooking, playing guitar, sailing and golf.

Peter and Yvonne are such a lovely couple. They went above and beyond looking after our home and very precious fur babies, whilst we were travelling around Canada for four weeks. Communication was great! The animals were happy, and it was so nice to come home to a clean house that had been well looked after. We have no hesitation in recommending Peter and Yvonne for any future house sitting..
Helpful Report
Yvonne and Peter presented as confident and resourceful and assured us of their ability to maintain our house on an acreage property. The main reason for engaging house sitters was to maintain the house, large lawn and garden. Three large garden beds and most edges are overgrown with 1m of grass and weeds that have not been attended to. Neighbours told us the garden was not being maintained. Garden pots left bone dry, some dying or dead. Bird mess left on verandah. House inside was left tidy and clean on the surface. Kitchen items have been rearranged? Kitchen items damaged, broken and missing, no explanation/apology. Poor communication during sit. Inadequate updates. Selective photos when requested. Damaged the carport, destroying a downpipe that will need replacement. Overall, a very disappointing experience. All previous house sitters have cared for our home and maintained the property with no issues.

Yvonne and Peter were wonderful house-sitters. We returned home to an immaculate house, lawns were mowed and pets were happy. We truly appreciated the extra special touches - dinner and milk left in the fridge, flowers on the table. They were great communicators - friendly and responsible, and sent just enough messages while we were away to keep us up to date and reassured. So glad that we met them and that they were fee to mind our home for 7 weeks. Thoroughly recommend.

Yvonne and Pete were excellent house sitters. They left our home emaculate. Very friendly and caring in looking after our energetic dog. Would highly them as house sitters and wish them all the very best as they patiently wait for their own house to be finished.

Yvonne and Peter were a very friendly couple. The house was neat and clean. Fonzie (dog) appeared well looked after and happy on my return, although, he had put on a little weight.
