We are a recently retired couple from Whyalla, SA. I (Tracey), worked in education for many years & Baz is a retired electrician. We are animal lovers & have our own 11yo Ausssie Shepherd Alby, who is very calm, sociable & friendly. We have recently moved to Adelaide for family reasons and are looking forward to meeting lots of new people & having many new experiences. We have a Police Check, reviews attached to this profile, & also have references & phone numbers from previous house sits that we can provide on request (see below also). We are very clean, well organised, reliable & always follow through with our commitments, all while treating your pets and your home, as if they are our own. We do have a small off grid, fully self contained caravan which we would love to have with us at your property if possible.
Looking forward to meeting you and your extended pet family.

REFERENCES
1. Tracey and Barry are a lovely, caring, trustworthy couple. We felt very comfortable asking them to house sit our property from the 1-10 October 2024, while our family travelled interstate. They were very thorough with all of the questions they asked prior to their stay. They were very responsive to our requests about what needed doing while we were away. They communicated as needed to ensure they were looking after the house properly during their stay. It was incredible to return home to the house and find it in spotless condition. They kept our house and garden in perfect order, put out bins, collected mail and cleaned the house to a point where we couldn’t believe they had even stayed in our home. It was amazing to come home to a house cleaner than we left it! They laundered the linen and even prepared a meal for our family on our return, which was wonderful as we were exhausted from our travels, arriving home late at night.
We were very thankful and grateful for their time and care and would have complete peace of mind using their house-sitting services again in the future. We highly recommend Tracey and Barry for anyone seeking caring and reliable house sitters.
We’re also happy for Tracey and Barry to share our mobile contact details with prospective homeowners who’d like verification of their suitability.

2. It is with great pleasure Marty and I write this referral/reference on behalf of Barry and Tracey.
I (Paula), have known both Barry and Tracey for some 50 years and share many childhood memories of our time growing up in rural SA.
It was great to rekindle our friendship years ago celebrating our high school reunion and for Marty to meet and befriend them also.
My partner Marty and I have been enjoying housesitting for approximately ten years (60+ sits done and dusted) and have over time encouraged Barry and Tracey to do the same once they are retired – it’s great to see they are keen to experience the joys of housesitting.
They are a lovely couple with a delightful hound Alby and we have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, houseproud house sitters.
We’re also willing for Barry and Tracey to share our mobile contact details with any prospective homeowners who’d like further verification of their suitability via a personal chat.

Tracy and Baz plus Alby cared for our dog, Ziggy and our home as we would. Before we left on a 3 week holiday they showed so much care towards our dog which enabled us to go away feeling veru reassured. I totally trusted they were gong to care for Ziggy which they did. They kept in contact with us when they had any question mainly about the running of our house, plus telling us how well Ziggy and their dog, Alby were playing together. When we returned home our home was cleaner than when I left and Ziggy was very chilled out and relaxed. Told us she had been very well looked after by Tracy and her family. I would recommend Tracy and Baz to house sit to care for your pets and home. If they are free again we would contact them first!!!

Five star rating for Tracey and Baz! We have just returned from 8 weeks overseas while Tracey and Baz and Aussie Shepherd, Alby, looked after our home and pets at Scott Creek, SA. Sooty, our 13 year old Border Collie had the loveliest time with her new found friends. Tracey sent updates and videos of the dogs playing. Sooty has obviously fallen in love with Baz too! We can't recommend this couple more highly! Our home was well looked after, our 2 pet sheep and chickens didn't notice our absence and we came home to everything ship-shape and ready for our return! Thankyou for making our holiday so relaxing knowing all was well at home. Freya and Richard.

It’s a really great feeling to know that your home and cat are going to be well cared for. After a very long flight home it was a pleasure to walk into our wonderfully clean and tidy home. Our cat was very well care for. She was happy to see us after she put the point across they we had left her. We have four medium size trees that loose their leaves this time of year and Baz did a great job collecting all the leaves. Plus going the extra mile which we appreciated. I would highly recommended Tracey and Baz to anyone seeking assistance.

Tracey and Baz looked after our home and golden retriever for 4 weeks. We came home to a clean home and a well looked after dog. I would highly recommend them for any house sitting job. Communication was always easy and prompt Sue and Barry

Thank you for caring for our cat Molly and our home. We returned home to a spotless clean home and well water garden after such a terrible hot spell. Such a peace of mind to know you were caring for our home as you would you own. Thanks again.
