New places, people and pets Reviews

Hi, we are a retired and non-smoking couple who are reliable, honest and conscientious.
We have been married for 35 years and have 2 adult children. As we no longer have pets of our own it would give us joy to have the opportunity to have walks / cuddles and special times with your precious pets. We enjoy time spent in the garden and would respect and take care for your house as you do.
We have recently left our home of 17 years to explore different corners of our country as well as finding new overseas horizons whilst having extended stop overs in Adelaide for family and work commitments. As pets we have had a dog [passed basic dog obedience], cat, birds and fish.
Gwynell, I have retired as a trainer and assessor in the aquatic industry, mostly working with children and sometimes with adults. I have also dedicated 17 years and hundreds of hours of voluntary service with surf life saving. I like to dabble with various art forms and enjoy getting outdoors for exercise which mostly involves hiking, swimming, cycling and yoga.
Philip; I am now retired but was previously employed as a laboratory chemist. I enjoy cooking, a good book and getting out for a walk in the countryside or along the beach.
We both have police clearance.
We travel with our own linen, food and cleaning products.

“These 2 are the human epitome of sunshine. I can not thank them enough for how they looked after our home and dog. The place was left absolutely spotless with food for our arrival back. Most importantly our dog was her usual happy calm self. Their communication whilst we were away was amazing, and they went above and beyond during their stay. I can not wait to have them back.”

“Thank you to Gwynell and Phillip for looking after our house and pets. From the initial phone call to finally meeting you, we felt at ease and very comfortable to engage you as my House Sitters and to care for our 4 dogs. They kept us up to date with regular messages. I highly recommend this professional, caring and considerate couple and wouldn't hesitate in asking them to back for future house sits.”

“SO glad you enjoyed your time with Zel in our little home. You guys are wonderful sitters! Thank you for : the updates and pics of our girl enjoying her walks with you, for taking such great care of her and our home, for the yummy treats you left us (so unnecessary but so appreciated) and of course for leaving the house clean and ready for us. We would definitely call on you again.”

“We couldn’t have been happier with Gwyn and Phil as house sitters! They took exceptional care of our home and, most importantly, Lexi and Bohdi. It was clear from the start that they genuinely love animals, and their attention to detail and warmth made us feel completely at ease while we were away. The house was spotless when we returned, and Lexi and Bohdi were clearly relaxed, happy, and well-loved in our absence. Gwyn and Phil went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, even providing regular updates to keep us informed. We highly recommend Gwyn and Phil to anyone looking for responsible, caring, and trustworthy house sitters. We would absolutely love them back in the future!”

“AMAZING! Would highly recommend Gwynell and Philip. They looked after our dog so well, we had regular updates and they were extremely accommodating in changing the sit dates slightly. Our house was immaculate upon return. I would not hesitate to Gwynell and Philip.”
