Mag and Don were incredible house sitters! This was our first time using a house sitter, and we were a little nervous and cautious. However, they quickly put our minds at ease. They took such great care of our cute little cat Simba, saving us the stress of having to book him into the cattery. They also looked after our home, plants, and garden just as we would. Their communication was excellent, and it felt like we had known them for years. I couldn’t fault them at all—they are truly wonderful ... MORE
 
MELANIE (Yallambie VIC, Jan 2025 - 1 week 3 nights) From Aussie House Sitters
How tremendous, Melanie and John, to receive such positive feedback. Thank you! It really helps us to finetune the key elements that helped put you at ease, especially being your first time to avail of housesitters. The feeling of being like old friends was mutual, thank you both for making us feel ... MORE
Honestly the best sitters we have ever had the pleasure of crossing paths with! From the very first conversation, Mag and Don felt more like friends and I feel very lucky the stars aligned and they replied to our ad. Their communication is excellent with regular funny updates on how our dog was doing, packages delivered etc. They looked after our home as if it were their own, even doing things like mowing the lawn which we didn’t ask them to do! We also came back to milk in the fridge and ... MORE
 
RHIANNA (Thirroul NSW, Sep 2024 - 6 nights) From Aussie House Sitters
Hey wow, such a warm and caring review, Rhianna and Jon. Thank you so much! We think you know the pleasure in caring for Hugo and your beaut coastal home was 100% all ours. You greeted and welcomed us in such a friendly fashion, making us feel right at home. As for Hugo, who wouldn't want to run ... MORE
Mag and Don were excellent house and pet sitters and we would highly recommend them! :) Mag and Don looked after our 2 dogs in our home for a week while we went camping. Communication was excellent both before and during the sit including updates and photos of the dogs. Our house was also super clean and tidy on our return.
 
BECK (Kyogle NSW, Jan 2024 - 6 nights) From Aussie House Sitters
Gee Beck, thanks for the high recommendation and 5 ⭐️! We think you know the fun was all ours, yet reassuring to hear that our presence worked well for you and family, off camping. Hugs to the 🐶🐶, Mag and Don :)
Mag and Don are just the most exceptional house sitters you could hope for. We feel so fortunate that the stars aligned because we knew from the first time we connected that they were the kind of people who would take good care of our gregarious dogs (who they affectionately nicknamed the Velcro K-9 duo) and shy cat. Being such thoughtful people, they not only kept us updated on the antics of our furry family members with messages and photos, but left us a delicious meal so we had something ... MORE
 
SUSAN (WOLLONGONG NSW, Dec 2023 - 2 weeks) From Aussie House Sitters
What can we say, but thank you Susan and Steven for your most thoughtful worded review. It clearly reflects your warm welcome of us to your home, your appreciative correspondence whilst overseas and your gratitude on return. It's been a pleasure to assist. And ditto, yes, may our stars align again. ... MORE
Mag and Don sat for us whilst we travelled intertstate and as we have a very busy hobby farm with many animals it was important we could trust them with our animals. They were simply phenomenal. They fed our four hungry horses each day .They fed and cared for our sheep and lambs with bottle feeding but also gave intensive care to a little deformed lamb called Hoppy who needed physio and extra special care in a corral. They set up this corral with extra feed and water for this little sheep ... MORE
 
KIM (North Nowra NSW, Nov 2023 - 5 nights) From Aussie House Sitters
Mag and Don were fabulous sitters. They were so easy to communicate with, I felt immediately comfortable with them, and they obviously have a lot of experience with both house sitting and animals. My dog Maple had a lovely stay with them and was very content when I returned home. They were also very tidy and reliable. I would love to have them back again and highly recommend them.
 
CISKA (Ulladulla NSW NSW, Nov 2023 - 2 nights) From Aussie House Sitters
We had the great fortune of having Mag and Don look after put place (including our dogs and chickens :), they were the perfect house guests, very warm, easy to get along with and left the house wonderfully neat and tidy, they even made the bed for us before our return! Our dogs loved having them around, they were totally settled and comfortable which is always a huge relief if we ever have to go away. They were kind enough to give us a few extra days break too! They also provided lovely and ... MORE
 
SIMON (Upper Coopers Creek NSW, Apr 2023 - 7 days) From Aussie House Sitters
Gee, thanks Simon and Hayley for your warm review of our time spent caring for your home and hilarious woofs n' chooks. We felt we were the lucky ones sampling your beaut home in such a secluded, elevated rainforest setting! Rewarding to hear you felt at ease re your dogs via our updates and how ... MORE
Mag and Don are delightful and took excellent care of our dog Murray, our fish Henry, and our unit overall. We really appreciated the consistent communication and updates. The unit was clean and tidy when we returned and they took care to pay attention to Murray's special needs and restrictions. We would love to have them house sit for us anytime. Thanks Mag and Don!
 
T. BRANDON (Parkdale VIC, Jan 2023 - 3 days) From Aussie House Sitters
Wow Brandon, thanks heaps for your appreciative worded review! We can see you guys are well practiced at communicating, simplifying all and entrusting us with your clean and tidy home, plus clear guidelines on lovable Murray's needs. Henry was a doddle, easy-peasy! And yes, ditto, we'd love to ... MORE
Amazing sitters who looked after our house and two cats for 3 days. Very communicative, organised a time to meet us and our cats a few days before the sit (even though we advertised at short notice). Daily photographic cat updates with cute messages. Left the house sparkling and even washed and dried their bedding and towels for us on the last day, leaving us with fresh linen on the bed. These are seasoned house sitters who are very good at what they do! We will definitely use Mag and Don again.
 
BEC AND DAVOR (Ivanhoe VIC, Jan 2023 - 3 days) From Aussie House Sitters
Thanks so much Bec and Davor for your comments of appreciation. Your cats are a dream to take care of, lovable yet beautifully independent. Your well-appointed modern home was an easy-care sit and so relaxing for us that appreciate peaceful settings with parkland walks just outside the door. We ... MORE

DEBBIE (Grass Tree Beach QLD, Aug 2022 - 4 days) From Aussie House Sitters
Hey Deb and Dan, Thanks so much for the high recommendation feedack and hey, especially the "loving" comment. Latter was perhaps propelled by loveable canine Pebbles who we suspect has inherited your very own caring qualites. We'd be delighted to step on board again. Thanks muchly for the ... MORE
Don and Mag were the best house-sitters we have had yet - and we have had a lot over the years. What more can we say! Thanks Don and Mag for your wonderful care of our animals and house, including the entertaining updates of the animal antics (and for helping Joerg to fix our bendy gutters after we returned!). It was lovely to meet you and get to know you both.
 
KATE (Toowoomba QLD, Apr 2021 - 6 days) From Aussie House Sitters
Wow, Kate & Joerg, we appreciate the positive feedback! It was a pleasure to care for all in your absence. You streamlined it for us so nicely, Mag & Don :)
Don and Mag were the perfect set of house and pet sitters while we were away. The house looked better than we left it and I highly suspect they spoilt our dog more than normal. Would gladly have back again and would highly recommend to any host wanting reliable sitters.
 
ISAAC (Elliott Heads QLD, Dec 2019 - 6 days) From Aussie House Sitters
Hey guys, What a lovely review! Tops off an already great assignment, to know we met your needs. Thanks, Mag & Don
Don and Maggie arrived beforehand to get to know my needs. This was so reassuring. We immediately had a good rapport and they greeted my cat as their own. When they arrived they had no dilemmas in settling in, and making me feel as though they would treat my home as their own. I received photos and emails regularly about life at home - such a small gesture that meant so much. I came home to a beautifully cared for home, with a cat slightly changed by the extra care and attention he'd received ... MORE
 
ADRIENNE (Kenilworth QLD, Jun 2019 - 1 week 5 days) From Aussie House Sitters
Don & Mag were the perfect sitters. The regular funny updates with brilliant photos of the two dogs was the perfect antidote for my concern about their care. I arrived home to a perfectly manicured lawn and even the long front drive had been mowed. It was a perfect treat to drive in. As I said, the perfect sitters and I have already asked them if they are free to house sit for my next holiday.
 
BRIAN (RIDGEWOOD QLD, Apr 2019 - 1 month 3 weeks) From Aussie House Sitters
I would highly recommend these housesitters and would have them come back anytime.. Mag and Don were fantastic housesitters. They made it a priority to look after my cat and plants. The plants were growing so well when I returned. They also left the house very clean. I also appreciated how they kept me up to date along the way. Thanks Mag and Don. Was a pleasure.

Garden Maintenance

Green garden!

Make sure the garden & the potted plants are thriving when you return home. A house sitter will do this for you.
