Respect & Integrity

60+, Retired

60+, Retired

Mature professional couple enjoying a clean non smoking honest lifestyle with skills that ensure our home or yours is kept clean, tidy and secure. Visiting from Australia and wishing to explore any area that delights with New Zealand culture and vistas. We do not have any flights booked and hope to secure house sits which will enable us to then plan flight dates.
We both strive to maintain our garden and home in a pleasant condition as per the photos in our profile. Peter is a very capable handy man with diverse trade skills and I spent much of my working life in administration and customer service. We both enjoy walking or cycling and exploring Australia across all states and territories. Whilst our 2 sons were growing up, we happily added dogs, cats, fish, chooks and birds over the years. Our family has expanded now to wives and grandchildren which we thoroughly cherish and give reason to travel north and spend time with our Queensland family. The catch phrase that 'we will treat your home and pets with the same love and attention we give our own', is certainly true. We have received very favourable reviews from all Australian home owners and their delightful dogs, cats, chooks, Alpacas and miniature goats; some of which appear in our profile pictures. Our beautiful cat Dilmah is also shown but sadly no longer with us.
We are keen to hear from you if you feel we may be the right couple for your house sit needs. Use of a car or push bikes whilst undertaking a sit will be welcome whilst we visit your great land. We both hold unblemished Australian car and motorcycle licences and have an Australian home owner happy to verify our respectful use of their vehicle/push bikes whilst minding their home. Due to health issues it is requested that strong scented items such as candles, scented sticks or room deodorisers be popped away prior to our sit. Whilst we love walking dogs if required, it is necessary for them to be appropriately trained for walking on a lead. We appreciate that pet owners have a variety of house rules, one of ours was not having pets on beds with us while sleeping, so please respect our preferences in this regard.
Cheers Fiona and Peter

We came home to a spotless house and very happy pets. Can absolutely recommend Fiona and Peter. We were very lucky having them look after everything while we were away

Thankyou Jill, so pleased you were able to have your well deserved break away and thankyou Mick for your friendly assistance and stepping boards. May 2025 go well for all. Cheers
Fiona & Peter were wonderful house sitters looking after our garden and house. They were easy to keep in touch with before and during the housesit. We wouldn't hesitate to have them stay again and would highly recommend them to others. We wish them all them best with their travels and hopefully our paths with cross again one day. Thank You Neil & Lorelle
 
NEIL & LORELLE (Annandale QLD, Feb 2024 - 2 weeks) From Aussie House Sitters
Thankyou both :) It will be our pleasure to meet up again should that opportunity arise. Kind regards Fiona and Peter.
I couldn't believe that Fiona and Peter were prepared to travel from Victoria to Queensland to housesit for me!. Fortunately they had family to visit in Townsville which made the long journey more worthwhile. Unfortunately the weather was unusually hot for much of their stay, but they perservered and even offered to extend their stay to help me out. Ellie my cat seemed to take to them quite quickly and despite having little experience with horses, Fiona coped well with the feeding of Missy, ... MORE

Thankyou Margaret, we loved our time in and around Majors Creek/Townsville
We cannot praise these house sitters enough. Everything is kept beautifully neat and tidy inside and as far as possible outside as well (given the volume of rain lately). This includes maintenance on the property both inside and out. It's been a pleasure to come home to such a well maintained house on both occasions we have had these sitters.

Thankyou John and Pauline, it was our pleasure.
Fiona and Peter were wonderful and let us go away knowing our pets and house were in good hands. Our pets were well looked after and we couldn't have been happier with their care. We sincerely highly recommend them and would certainly have them back for any future sits. Rowena & Roger

Our pleasure, thankyou for the opportunity to house sit and explore the area.
Fiona and Peter were wonderful and thoughtful house sitters. They have obviously done a great job in caring for our vegetable garden and our chooks and alpacas. In fact our place outside and inside has been beautifully maintained. They kept us well informed and we have no hesitation in recommending Fiona and Peter for any prospective houses it. Absolutely excellent.

Thankyou, it was our pleasure.
Fiona and Peter were wonderful during our time away. They made the process of leaving our fur children at home extremely stress free! Fiona sent multiple picture updates of both the cat and dog over the duration of our holiday. We arrived home to very happy pets and a sparkling clean home! I would absolutely recommend Fiona and Peter for any house and/or pet sits! They look after your home and animals as if they were their own :) I will happily have them back should they be in town again when I ... MORE

Thankyou Storm, it was our pleasure.
Fiona and Peter, We're absolutely amazing!! From the start contact was great! Pre and post. We received photos of our fur babies and if we had any questions they got back to us right away. They are very clean, polite, kind and won't give you anything to worry about whilst away. They were very respectful to our belongings and pups and from the beginning they both let of a great vibe that they would be the perfect house sitters. We came home to a cleaner home, which was brilliant! ... MORE

House Security

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
