We have based ourselves in Perth for most of this year. Because my husband is having a knee replacement in early March, so we can spend a lot of time with your animals and house while you are away.
We are currently booked until the 19th May.
We are extremely honest, responsible, clean, non smokers, with no pets. Both retired.
Your home /pets will be well looked after, so you can be away without any concerns.
We always leave the homes we sit, spotless.
About us:
Since retiring, nearly 4 years ago, we have been travelling all over Australia in our caravan. While in Perth our caravan is in storage.
Over the last 4 years, we have done many housesits/farm sits/caretaking positions.
We have excellent references.I have included our latest housesitting reference here in Perth below and there is a review on our profile pages.
Before retiring:
Rick was an Intensive care Paramedic in 3 different countries and I have worked in a cattery/dog kennels in the past and had a cleaning business, among many other jobs.
Rick also used to own hundreds of orchids, so your plants will be well looked after between the two of us.
We also look after houses with no pets, keeping the gardens looking good, collecting mail,etc. so the owners can go away and not worry about anything.
We have looked after all sorts of animals from Dogs, cats cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, chickens and big bulls. We bottle fed 3 Poddy calves for 6 months, which was an amazing experience.
We have found it such a honour to look after very old animals. They need so much love and attention because they get so confused sometimes. Basically we love all animals and they give just as much love to us, as we give to them.
Any questions, please feel free to get in touch.
See below, our latest reference here in Perth:
Sue and her husband Rick house sat for 4 weeks for me over Dec 2025 - Jan 2026. I met Sue and Rick through mutual friends and immediately they both were very likeable and personable, and I knew my home was going to be in very caring hands.
On my return from holiday, the place was absolutely immaculate, plants were thriving, everything was so clean and it was a haven to return to. I could not have asked for more kind and considerate housesitters. Over the time I was away, they contacted me with any major concerns they had, which were easily sorted. They were also available to allow tradies to complete jobs, brought postage in, run my car regularly and cleared the rubbish bins as needed.
Alongside this. Rick was also incredibly helpful in fixing a couple of "technical issues" which I hadn't been able to sort.
I would highly recommend Sue and Rick to care for any home that needs a housesitter - you would be able to holiday knowing that your home is in very safe and considerate hands. If I could, I would give them a 5 star rating.
Kind regards
Pippa
