“Tanya and Andrew housesat my place for four months in 2014. Zoe was only a few months old at the time. I received weekly updates on mail I had received, and was kept informed of any visitors who dropped by plus any messages left for me on the phone. I returned home to a spotlessly clean home and they even left me a coming home food parcel. Five stars!”

“Tanya and Andrew looked after my lovely kitty, Flower, for nearly 7 weeks this year. They were communicative, organized, and very caring. When I returned to my flat it was in a better condition than I had left it, and my cat was extremely content! It was a beautiful transition. They were so accommodating and lovely! I have no hesitation recommending their services again and am happy to answer any questions.”

– Adrienne and Flower, Singapore

“Tanya and Andrew looked after our home and our 2 beloved dogs for close to 3 weeks while we were overseas and we couldn’t be happier with the state of the house when we returned. Both dogs were well cared for and had been taken on plenty of walks (even the local neighbourhood watch guy said he had seen them out and about with the dogs and commented that they were lovely people). Whilst away we received regular updates from Tanya by email, letting us know what was happening with the house and dogs, which gave us peace of mind.

We would have no hesitations in recommending Tanya and Andrew as fantastic house sitters.”

“Andrew and Tanya looked after our house and two miniature schnauzers for three weeks. They did a wonderful job, the dogs loved them. They took them on regular walks and sent us updates. The house was lovely when we returned. We would definitely have them back to house sit and would recommend them as the perfect house sitters.”

“My husband and I have always been over protective of our dog Bella. She is a Weimeraner and gets very bad anxiety when we leave for trips. We love to travel but it breaks our hearts when we have to take her to the doggie daycares in Singapore because we are not sure they are giving her the loving attention she needs or even taking her outside for walks. I was ready for a new way to have a dog cared for while we were gone. Luckily, I found this website and posted an ad. Tanya and Andrew replied that they were interested and after a skype interview they seemed like the perfect couple to watch after Bella. They did not disappoint while caring for Bella. They took her on many walks each day and cared for her like she was their own dog. Tanya and Andrew even sent us pictures while we were gone of Bella. Overall I was very happy and hope that they will be able to babysit Bella again. They are wonderful people and can be trusted with something as precious as your dog. Thank you Tanya and Andrew! Hope to see you again!”

“I am pleased to provide a reference for Tanya and Andrew as house sitters. This is the first time that I have used sitters sourced from the internet so was a bit nervous re what to expect. But as soon as I met Tanya and Andrew I knew they were good people and could be trusted. I turned out to be right – they were fantastic. They diligently looked after my animals, grumpy cat, broody chickens and large number of hungry tropical fish. They kept me up to date re anything that was happening on a regular basis. Also they put up with the house being painted while I was away. The house was spotless when I got back, with milk and coffee at the ready.

They are extremely nice and honest people and I trust they will keep in contact, and hopefully be available to house sit again!”

“We couldn't be happier with our experience having Tanya and Andrew as our housesitters. They were everything we could have hoped for when faced with leaving our belongings and pets in the care of strangers. From the beginning they were friendly, professional, and eager to take in every bit of information they would need while we were gone. They are two lovely people and were very easy to work with. They were flexible and accommodating when we needed to change dates and times, and left our home in better shape than it had been in when we departed!

Our ‘girls' also have great things to say about their babysitters. We left Tanya and Andrew with our two sugar gliders, and though they hadn't handled gliders before, they jumped right in and gave our girls five weeks of fun and frolic. We received weekly updates on how our girls were doing (complete with pictures!) and had everything taken care of while we were gone. They even spotted us on a bill we had forgotten about!

You will have no worries about your pets and home with Tanya and Andrew on the case. I would leave my home and pets in their care again in a heartbeat, and would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for two adventurous and responsible people to love their pets and care for their home while they are away. It was truly a load off our minds to know that these two were in charge of things while we were gone.”

“Things at the house looked GREAT when I returned and the kitties were happy 🙂 THX TONS for reassembling my guest bed! You guys are AWESOME!”

“I have known Tanya for over twenty years and have now known Andrew for over six years…

For around fourteen of those years, Tanya had a pet cat, Saki. She was well loved and looked after. It was a sad time when Saki passed away.

Tanya and Andrew are loyal, friendly and trustworthy people. I would highly recommend them to look after anyone's pets and properties. I am positive they will treat each animal and home as their own.”

– Raelene, Australia

“I have known Andrew and Tanya in both professional and private situations since April, 2011. 

From November, 2011, Andrew and Tanya began what they term “location independence” whereby they shift locations, while still maintaining their personal and professional relationships. In this way they have been able to travel through several countries, experiencing different cultures. Andrew’s workload has been partially reduced, but he still attends daily meetings and produces work of an expected standard.

Tanya is a delightful person to know. She is down to earth, very helpful, and loves spending time with our children. Our children also look up to Tanya. Andrew and Tanya are very hard working, loyal and committed to being happy in life. I would thoroughly recommend them for pet-sitting or house-sitting to anyone looking for responsible people.”

    1. Hi Jodie and gang,
      Thank you for your kind words. Andrew and I had a great time with your fur-kids. Lovely dogs!
      We forgot to replace the crunch bar chocolate in your fridge. We will bring some by when we are next in town.
      Thanks so much,

    1. Hi Adrienne, thanks for the reference. It was a pleasure staying in Singapore and hanging out with Flower Power. She was great fun to hang out with. How’s her stick with string going?
