Professional, work-from-home couple! Reviews

4.9 Rating 8 Reviews

Hello!

We are a friendly, caring and professional couple (40s) who both work from home, so we will be able to give your pets plenty of love and attention and will also have time to maintain your home and garden.

Having lived in some very small apartments over the years we both enjoy keeping a very clean and tidy space! ?

We will treat your home like it's our own. We have been living as “digital nomads” since March 2023, dividing our time between Australia and the rest of the world. We have been house-sitting on and off for the last 2 years and have some excellent reviews and references available.

We have experience looking after dogs of all ages, including older dogs who require extra care and medication, chickens, cows and even donkeys!

Any questions please let us know. We would love to hear from you!

* Tarquin has a current Police Clearance Certificate and Kat has experience working with puppies and dogs due to a former position working with Guide Dogs.

Thanks!
Katrina and Tarquin

“Kat and Tarquin are a lovely couple and the perfect house sitters. We came home to a beautiful clean home, fresh bread, milk and special treats but most of all a very happy and content fur baby. Jed, our Kelpie adored them both. He was well cared for and loved which is all we asked for. They were challenged with his intense anxiety during some storm activity but they confidently medicated him to make him sure he was as comfortable as he could be. They followed instruction and didn’t interrupt his routine which paid off. I would highly recommend them for future house sits. Thank you guys”

“Kat and Tarquin looked after our home and our 12 yr old labradoodle, Ruby for 7 weeks over June and July. Over that period the communication from them was wonderful, updating Ruby’s antics and wellbeing on a regular basis. On our return, the house was immaculate, with many thoughtful touches and Ruby was groomed, healthy and happy and had obviously been thoroughly spoilt and loved. We want to thank Kat and Tarquin for their care of Ruby and our home, which made our holiday even more enjoyable. We would have them back anytime. They are a lovely, warm and, obviously, responsible couple and we highly recommend them for any future house-sits.”

“I cannot speak highly enough of Katrina and Tarquin. Our departure time was brought forward and they travelled through busy Easter traffic to accommodate this. Our home was left sparkling clean and our little dog was absolutely pampered ( and is missing them). They left milk, bread, fruit etc so we were able to just relax and recuperate after a fairly harrowing trip. If we could always leave our home in such safe and caring hands when we have to go away we would be very happy. So grateful to them.”

“i would love to recommend Katrina and Tarquin to mind your home and pet. I have just had the opportunity of meeting them and experienced their warm welcome and their ability of looking after my Molly. They sent me photos of her, and she looked soo happy after they had been playing games with her, which she enjoys very much. the house was well cared for and garden watered. I would highly recommend them for my future bookings whenever I need help. Everything had been cleaned, and laundered, and secured. A big thank you.”

“Found both Katrina and Tarquin easy to talk with when we showed them around our home and discussion of our needs. Everything in the home was in the same condition as it was when we left. I think they spoilt our pet too much and she looked well and happy upon our return. Would have them back any time.”

“Kat and Tarquin housesat for us for 19 days, on our rural property. While here they cared for our 2 dogs, 4 miniature donkeys and 5 chooks. I cannot rate this couple highly enough! They communicated regularly with us, which reassured us that all was well at home while we were overseas. When we returned home the house and farm look absolutely wonderful. The donkeys were all shiny and happy, dogs settled and well cared for and chooks happy little hens! They had cleaned and topped up all animal waters, veggie garden and pot plants all watered and alive, lawn freshly mowed and spa sparkling clean. The house was left pristine, with sheets and towels washed. They left just enough fresh food to get us through our first couple of days at home, so we didn't have to rush out and get supplies. We can't thank them enough!”
