We are an English couple, both retired (Teacher and Printer), currently on a 5 year Visa, and hoping to obtain Australian PR and then Citizenship, to be near our daughter and family, in Sippy Downs and our son, and family, in Darwin.
Since arriving in Australia in April 2022 we have been house, pet (dogs, cats, birds, lizard and fish) and grandma! sitting for the vast majority of our time.
We have thoroughly enjoyed over 25 ‘sits’ and have been fortunate to care for many wonderful pets and homes and now have several regular bookings.
We have experience looking after many breeds of dogs and cats, of all ages and sizes; several rescue dogs and several with specific medical, nutritional and social needs.
Whilst the owners are away from home we do our utmost to ensure their pets are extremely well loved and cared for and we follow the owners’ instructions meticulously re feeds, exercise etc.
We regularly update the owners and keep in close contact by messaging and sending pictures by mobile and WhatsApp, and when requested FaceTime/phone or video calls.
We know how important this is to pet lovers as back in the UK we had our own gorgeous dog, ‘Laston’, a Labrador mix, for 16 years, from when she was 8 weeks old.
We also regularly cared for family and friends’ dogs and cats, both in the UK and in Portugal, when they had to leave them for a few days to several weeks.
We are both non-smokers and extremely neat and tidy and take great pride in looking after the homes, pools, plants, gardens etc. during our stays; endeavouring to ensure that these are all in the very best condition when the owners return home.
We have police checks, from the UK, Portugal and Spain, which we require for our Australian Visas.
We have many excellent 5* reviews on Mindahome and are looking forward to more wonderful ‘sits’ in the future.

We are always happy, and prefer before a sit is accepted, to do a ‘meet and greet’ with the owners so that they and ourselves can ask / answer questions etc. so that they would know that their pet/s, home, pool plants and gardens etc. would be in the best hands whilst they away.  
If you have any queries or would like further information about us please message and we will be happy to answer any questions.
Thank you for taking the time to read our profile.

From the moment I met both Peter and Danielle I knew that they were the people for me. The house and more importantly my dog Mille were cared for while I was away. They followed the instructions given, were very prompt in corresponding with me while I was away. Millie was happy and well cared for, my plants were amazing. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone and I hope to have them again for a repeat house sit if they are available

Absolutely awesome! Could not get anyone better than these two. House was perfect, dog was cared for superbly. Highly recommend and we will be asking them again! Communication before we left was clear, concise and timely. We received SMS of our dog having a wonderful time and being thoroughly loved and cared for. Very happy having Danielle and Peter taking care of all. Came home to a clean and tidy house and a very contented pup!

Danielle and Peter looked after our beautiful girl so well and spent time getting to know her - she was very relaxed and happy when we got home. They also looked after our home and garden extremely well - I think it was cleaner than when we left it! They also sent regular messages whilst away which was really nice. Danielle and Peter are a lovely couple and very easy to communicate with. I hope they can stay again.

We hit the housesitters Jackpot! From the moment we received the initial application message from Danielle and Peter we knew they would be the most wonderful housesitters and they exceeded all our expectations. We honestly could not be more pleased in the way the cared for our pets, our home and communicated with us while we were away. We came home to an immaculate home and our plants looked the best they've ever looked. Our animals were happy and healthy and loved their time Danielle and Peter. We have no hesitation in recommending them whole heartedly, or asking them to house sit for us again in the future.

Danielle and Peter were wonderful house sitters and we would trust them again to look after our property and pets in a heartbeat. They looked after our pets Juno (dog) and Guinness and bilbo (cats) as well as our fish fantastically. They were all spoilt!! And we could enjoy our holiday knowing we made the right choice with who would house sit our home. House and garden were fantastically cared for and we returned to a spotless home.

Danelle and Peter were extremely good with our pets and exceptional good with the care taken with our home. We were more than happy with our dog ( Bear ) quickly excepting them and was extremely comfortable with them both.We are more than confident to recommend them and will keep in touch should we require any sits in the future.

Danielle and Peter will treat your house sit like their job! Very professional yet kind and caring. If you have pets? No worries!! Our dog was well looked after and loved. Our house I’m sure was cleaner than we left. This was our 2nd sit and Highly Recommend!

Couldn't ask for a better pair of house sitters than Danielle and Peter. They provided updates while we were gone, looked after our pet dog and the place to a high standard, and even left the place in a better condition than they received it. We were delighted to have them house sit for us and will be contacting them for any future house sitting we need! Thanks again Danielle and Peter!
