Pet Sitters in Elanora

Noel

Although my planned trip away was cancelled due to me needing to help with a family emergency, and taking Corey with me, Noel and Jude kept to their schedule and came to Kippen despite not having Corey to care for. I'm sorry that I didn't have the opportunity to meet them as they seem a truly lovely couple. Our communication at all times was great, they're so friendly, they asked great questions when we first met and shared lovely photos of some of their experiences on their trip. While Noel and Jude stayed in my cottage they continued to communicate well and were very helpful and reassuring, I felt that everything was in excellent hands and was happy that they could enjoy the area even though they didn't have Corey for company!

Deborah

Deborah and Rob were nothing short of amazing and we are so grateful to have them stay in our home. We would highly recommend them. From the moment they arrived, we felt completely at ease, like we had old friends arriving for the weekend. We had such a wonderful time getting to know them. They were genuine, kind and passionate about our little fur babies, who clearly felt an instant bond with them. The communication was very clear and we received photos of our pooches who were clearly having a wonderful time. We returned to an immaculate and sparkling home, washed sheets, and, wait for it... a gourmet lime and coconut cake that would rival the culinary prowess of Amaury Guichon! What a lovely surprise! Thank you so much Deborah and Rob. We are very much looking forward to seeing you both again soon, and I know Poppy and Bear are too. Thank you so much. Warm regards Jen

Vanessa & Darryl

Thanks Vanessa and Dan you were great after a difficult couple of weeks prior to leaving I was a little worried about a new house and pet sitter but I need not have worried. You were organised clean tidy and great with the dogs. Thankyou :)

Cecilia & Andres

All seemed very good, had Whats App communication which kept us updated on the cats and the house. The cats seemed happy when we got home, the house was as we left it, a very nice couple.

Shayley

Shayley was brilliant. I have a very senior cat and she followed all instructions and was so caring with her. She gave regular updates with helpful information and her communication was excellent. She’s also a lovely person. Thanks Shayley!

Belinda & Nigel

Belinda and Nigel exceeded our expectations. We initially met on a video chat and we immediately knew they would be perfect. They were friendly, communicative and responsible. They offered and stayed over the night before our trip so they could meet us, our 1 year old pup, Noodle, and get the lay of the land. They took her for walks, sent loads of pup-dates and even provided learning consistency and a bit of training for Noodle! We felt so comfortable leaving our home and pup in their capable hands. Nigel and Noodle really bonded which was super sweet. We’ve now decided to start planning our holidays around Nigel and Belinda’s availability! They really are the best!

Tenille

Couldn’t get better sitters and Tenille and Vitor- exemplary care of my senior dog, Sasha, and home, with excellent communication. They managed Sasha’s medication needs, she was very happy and relaxed on my return, and the house looked better than ever.

Alison

Axel and Alison were wonderful sitters. The pets loved their time with both of them and we couldn't have been more grateful to have met such genuine and nice people. 5 stars to this lovely couple!

Cecile & Xavier

Lovely couple that took great care of our fur babies and home. Would highly recommend 😊

Zoe

ZOE was fantastic! We couldn't expect a better dogsitter for our pet! First of all she's much more tidy than us, so when we were back the house was clean and tidy,. She kept us updated with photos and news and as we came back we found an happy and joyful dog! It's a pity she lives so far away otherwise we would have called her every year!

Erika

I was extremely happy having Erika look after my cats during my holiday. She automatically sent me updates twice a day and even sent me updates on my plants. Kira and Cleo both seemed very at ease and happy with her.

Karla

We cannot praise Karla highly enough. She is the most thoughtful, caring, attentive sitter that we have had the pleasure of meeting. For almost 2 weeks, she gave our dog and 2 cats all the kindness, fun, and care that we could possibly ask for, and they loved her for it. We had daily messages,photos and videos, which we were very grateful for. She came with her beautiful, well behaved dog, Munk, who became our dog's best friend, and it was a joy to see them together . At first, we were hesitant, as one of our cats is a bit shy and skittish and can take a while to warm to new situations, particularly another dog! But all went so well, and we were witness to Munk's adoration, and our cat's ease. Karla was so kind, and had delicious meals ready for us on our returns (we came home for one day in the middle of the sit between our travels). She was also a superstar when it came to looking after our chickens, and veggie gardens, and dealt with our mozzie infestation in the greenhouse with grace and humour! Her communication skills are awesome, she was flexible and understanding, she left everything clean and tidy, and again, super thoughtful. Our fur kids could not have been in better hands. We would have her and Munk here again in a heartbeat, and highly recommend her. Thank you Karla and Munk!

Katie

Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!

Tom

We have spent a very pleasant and quiet stay at Tom and Audrey's house. From the beginning, the communication with them has been easy.
The house is very well equipped, with a good wifi for work and the views of the sea are very nice, as well as the garden where you can play with the dogs.
Ninja and Chewie are lovely and obedient and we've had nice walks with them on the beach. Chewie loves to splash around and Ninja can't get enough of playing catch (my right arm is more muscular now!).
We have really enjoyed this stay, both the animals and the place.
Highly recommended!

Heidi & Dave

I could not have asked for a better housesit opportunity: it was my first experience and Heidi and Dave have done everything possible for me to be comfortable in their home, which is an awesome place and in a perfect location to visit Rome! They have always been very available and the communication was really smooth. Moreover, the guide prepared by them is very detailed, containing any information that might be useful.
But above all: Roodle and Kenji are two adorable cats and have been affectionate since the beginning, it was a pleasure to spend time with them and I would be glad to do it again!

Cassidy

Great cats, great owner. Cassidy left good instructions and obviously loves her kitties.  Would catsit for her again.

Lynette

Lynette & Rodney were very welcoming and we found that every little detail was thought of.  We enjoyed looking after their two cats, Sybil & Freckles in a wonderful location overlooking the mighty Murray River.  Would recommend this housesit for anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful location.

Judith

Tim and Judith provided a lovely house sitting experience. Their warm hospitality, coupled with their beautiful home and picturesque surrounding walks, made my stay truly memorable. The menagerie of animals added an extra layer of charm. The dog is a typical pointer with a cute personality. The cat is very sociable and would sit on my lap any chance she got needless to say I feel in love. The goats were very funny characters also very sociable. Initially the chickens were not overly happy with me as I didn’t have any green scraps but I gave them some weeds which made up for it. I witnessed two of the five pregnant sheep go into labor unexpectedly it was an incredible and unique experience. Despite the surprise, I felt well-prepared with the contact information of knowledgeable sheep experts in case of any need. Overall, it was an enriching and delightful stay that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking a peaceful and fulfilling retreat.

Allison

Such a joy getting to sit for Keiko and Bella. Allison was super communicative and helpful with Lucie and I during the whole experience - we hope to get to come back and visit again soon. Highly recommend this sit!
