Semi retired couple Reviews

We are a couple who have been married for nearly 40 yrs. We have traveled extensively around and through Australia. Having a can do attitude and experience on and off farms we are handy with animals of all sorts and general maintenance/ gardening/ pool. Chris is a qualified pool technician and had a full time job as a gardener at the Canberra prison as well as experience in driving tractors, zero turn mowers and the full range of garden equipment. Michelle loves working and handling the animals on a farm including cattle, very experienced with horses and just about any other animal (she has this affinity with them that is just amazing) . Our little kelpie loves to travel and is extremely well trained and friendly. We continue to manage and clean several Airbnb's (when we are home and have contractors to look after the cleaning when we travel). We enjoy bushwalking, camping and exploring the areas that we visit. We are both none smokers, tidy and respectful people. We both have our WWVP card (working with vulnerable people) for driving public buses as casuals so therefore have regular police checks and proves our good character. We like to keep busy when house sitting and enjoy the basic choirs around the house. Some of our house sits have included totally off grid properties and these have been amazing to be looking after. Our own house has a pool, extensive garden and solar system so we are very familiar with the aspects of what is required to look after these.

Chris and Michelle were absolutely wonderful housesitters, we are incredibly grateful to them. Our sit does involve a fair bit of work, we have a lot of animals and a huge garden. Everything was perfect, the house was spotless, horses, dogs and chooks happy and healthy and the garden looked amazing - the lawns were beautifully mowed. Communication was excellent, all in all we could not have been happier. Chris and Michelle are wonderful trustworthy housesitters who really care. Xena, their little dog, is beautifully behaved and got along really well with our dogs.

Jo and I could not have been happier with the whole Mindahouse arrangements. Chris and Michelle were the perfect "sitters" who looked after our pets probably better than we do! Similarly with our house - it was immaculate when we returned. While we were away the communication was excellent. All in all . . . fantastic.
