“Thank you both so much Eileen and Derek for your wonderful care of our home. We had complete confidence that our home would be in good hands and that ensured we were not stressing about our house while we were away! Highly recommended Eileen and Derek!”

“Eileen and Derek house sat our three fur babies for 6 days, our home was beautifully clean when we arrived home. Our animals were all very well looked after and our energy buster Millie loved her big walks. Our old boy Jack was well looked after and Murphy our pussy cat looked very friendly in the photos. We were regularly updated, our fault but when we had wifi. Eileen and Derek made sure we knew just how everyone was going. We felt very happy having them in our home and would welcome them back anytime they wish. Thankyou so much., it was great to feel that trust. There was even a fresh bottle of milk left for us.”

“Eileen and Derek were wonderful house sitters, easy to work with in the lead up, kept us informed of what we needed to know and left the house in perfect condition. Derek even managed to start a very cantankerous old lawn mower and mow the weeds for us - much appreciated - thank you. Most importantly they looked after our dog very well. The real test of how pet sitters have been is what the neighbors and community say when you get back home. Eileen and Derek have been given the biggest tick of approval, all the feedback has been fantastic. In fact, if you have a pet that needs that extra bit of attention and exercise to get into shape then these guys are the ones to get. They ran our place like a health farm for a slightly overweight labrador.”

“Thanks Eileen and Derek for taking good care of our Bonnydog and our home and garden. Bonny was obviously well cared for, hardly noted our return. We’ll have to ensure she continues the beach trips. Thank you also for sending the photos whilst we were away.”

“Eileen & Derek were such amazing guests while we were on our holiday and they looked after our house and pet dog Gordon so well. They met us the day prior to our departure and made sure to understand exactly every detail of the household, its general security and the local neighbourhood, and how to care for our dog Gordon while we were away. They cared so well for our dog and was extremely happy the entire length of their stay, communicating regular updates on his wellbeing, daily walks and activities, which was so reassuring for us while we were away. On our return we were so amazed on how neat, tidy and clean the household was, which is such an amazing feeling to come home from holiday to an immaculate home after an overseas flight. Thank you both for such an amazing experience and we will host you again soon!”

“Eileen and Derek cared for our pets and house so well. They exercised the dogs everyday and made sure that the house was clean and well kept for when we returned home. We came home to a happy household and could relax during our trip, knowing that everything was being well taken care of. We appreciated their communication with us during their stay and photo updates of our pets along the way. I highly recommend this couple to entrust your house too!”

“We were Eileen and Derek's first house sitting position. We would like to thank them for taking such good care of our dog Teddy and our home. Eileen and Derek came to our rescue when our original sitter could not come. They changed their plans to accommodate us. Eileen sent messages and some photos of our Teddy's antics while we were away. We would strongly recommend them for any house sitting position, they are a very caring and friendly couple.”
