Many thanks to Robin and Mary for taking such good care of my cats and apartment. They were great communicators and clearly are cat lovers. I came back to

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN 17th March 2016 I engaged Robin Croft and his friend Mary on recommendation to take care of my house, my elderly dog and my cat whilst I was away overseas for a month late in 2015. I was quite worried as I hadn't left my animals in anyone's care before, and I have a reasonable sized garden which required watering. On my return, I was delighted to find the house immaculate and my pets well and happy. They had bonded well with Robin and Mary, which had been a concern for me. The garden had been regularly watered, and Robin and Mary saw to it that the lawn man was paid in my absence. Subsequently, I made a shorter trip in early 2016, and once again happily employed Robin and Mary. I would recommend them to anyone who wants clean, diligent animal lovers to care for their possessions in their absence. I am sorry to see them leave for their overseas travel but wish them all the very best. Sincerely Leona Kirby 0407 983 929 leogra@westnet.com.au

Why we want to house sit

We love to house and pet sit because we love animals and have a great affinity with them. We've been living and travelling in the UK and Europe over the last 7 years, and have found house sitting is a great way to be part of a community
