(The Ideal House-Sitters)
Your home and your pets are our No. 1 priority!


We have been self-employed for almost all of our working lives and
are currently semi-retired while running an internet business.

Not so long ago, we sold our small acreage to downsize, and
feel that we want to travel before we settle down once more...
this is where house-sitting comes in!

So we are currently full time house-sitting!

RESULTS OF SOME OF OUR RECENT HOUSE-SITS,
WHAT THE HOME OWNERS HAD TO SAY
 
5 star: House care
5 star: Garden care
5 star: Pet care
5 star: Communication


Alina - Toowoomba QLD: As soon as we met Wendy and Greg we knew immediately we'd made the best decision. Our 2 fur babies fell in love with them straight away. They took exceptional care of our home and cared for our dogs as well as we do. We were regularly kept up to date with any news and cute pics of our fur babies. Wendy and Greg are a lovely couple that I'm sure we will keep in contact with in the future. We highly recommend them as home and pet sitters :-)



Sammy & Bella - Toowoomba QLD

 
Jackie - Wurtulla QLD: Wendy and Greg are fabulous house and pet sitters. Their communication and photos of our pets were just right, we felt very confident with them from the beginning. Our pets, house and garden were all immaculate on our return and they were very generous with the time and effort they put into our animals and our home. Anyone looking for the perfect house and pet sitters should ask Greg and Wendy, I can't rate them highly enough!!



Maple - Wurtulla QLD

 
Vicki - East Ballina NSW: Wendy and Greg were THE BEST. We have had great sitters before but they went above and beyond what was expected. Our house was not only sparkling clean when we arrived home but there was food in the fridge and towels placed at the bottom of our bed. Skittie was obviously well cared for, as was our garden. Their communication was exceptional. Would highly recommend and would have them sit for us again in a heartbeat. Thank you Wendy & Greg.

Eve - Shorncliffe QLD: Wendy and Greg looked after our much loved cat Ughy and our house for us for a week. We found them to be excellent house-sitters. Ughy was dozing under the plants when we arrived home and wasn't interested in greeting us which is testament to how well he was looked after. The house was left in a spotless condition. Greg even did things for us around the house that we were not expecting. Wendy and Greg are a very professional couple in their approach to house sitting. They were in regular communication with us before the sit commenced and sent us a photo of a happy Ughy soon after we left. We will definitely seek them out again to house sit for us and cannot recommend them highly enough.
 


Ughy - Shorncliffe QLD

 
Madeleine - Buddina QLD: Would highly recommend Greg and Wendy as house sitters, we came home to a sparkling clean house and a very happy dog. Would definitely have them back.
 
Follow-up text a couple of days later:  Hi Greg and Wendy, We keep meaning to thank you again for looking after our house so beautifully whilst we were away.  With the fog of jet lagged children, it took a day or two until we noticed all the little touches which you had added to our family home.  We are still finding them!  Thanks again.  I’m sure Wilson is missing you too!



Wilson - Buddina QLD
 

Samantha - Hamilton QLD: I highly recommend Wendy and Greg as housesitters. They were outstanding - the pets were extremely well looked after as was our garden and the house. They provided regular updates and photos of the pets as well as asking how are holiday was going. (we were in Europe). We wouldn't hesitate saying yes to another holiday overseas if we could have Wendy and Greg house sit for us again.
 


Butterfly - Hamilton QLD
 

Jay - Tamborine Mountain QLD: I have just arrived home from my short trip away. WOW. Wendy and Greg not only took care of our home beautifully (the house was spotless when I arrived back) but kept us up to date with our pets throughout the stay as well. Superb house sitters and I hope they can come and stay again. Thanks Wendy and Greg - you are stars.

 
Victoria - Bribie Island QLD: Greg & Wendy are a really warm and professional couple. We felt extremely confident leaving our very loved cats and dogs with them. Communication was excellent with regular photos and video. I will be recommending Greg & Wendy to all our friends. Their love and attention to our home and pets was first class.



Luca & Slinky - Bribie Island QLD

 
Heather - Terrigal NSW: I can't recommend Wendy and Greg highly enough. They're confident care takers and instantly put me at ease with their experience. They kept in communication every couple of days whilst we were away to send me pictures of the pets, and they followed all the animal care instructions that I left. When I returned to the house it looked better than when I left it! My pets clearly loved spending time with them and Wendy and Greg left the place spotless. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this couple as house sitters for your home.



Benji - Terrigal NSW


 
Anne - Wyong NSW: We cannot recommend Wendy and Greg highly enough. From day one the communication was excellent and continued while we were away with updates and photos of our dog River.  Our priority was for River to be lovingly cared for and the house second.  However they left the house very clean, the gardens and lawn were well maintained and River was definitely well cared for. We will have no hesitation in asking if they available for our next trip. Should you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me (number supplied).

 

River - Wyong NSW

 
Jennifer - South Yarra VIC : Wendy & Greg are amazing housesitters. They are highly organised and have impeccable attention to detail. We had a lengthy conference call about a week before their arrival where we answered all of each other's questions. On the first day Wendy sent a pic of my clearly very relaxed dog after she was given a relaxing massage, I'm not sure she knew I was even gone. Upon my arrival back home I'm pretty sure my house was even cleaner than I had left it, they also left some roses on the dining table for me :D

 

Pepper - South Yarra VIC

 
Sylvia - Bulimba QLD: Wendy and Greg went above and beyond what we expected! We received regular communication and updates on how the animals were faring, and they happily dealt with some unexpected issues that cropped up (changing over of gas bottle). We arrived home to an immaculately clean house, mowed lawn, weeded garden, and happy animals. We would definitely recommend Wendy and Greg as house sitters and we are looking forward to having them back again.

 
Jason & Katie - St Kilda VIC: Serious 5 star service! Wendy and Greg were so easy to communicate with, we were kept up to date with regular photos and messages on our 4 week trip away. Our dog Charlie seemed to build a great bond with Wendy and Greg, he even snuck in to Wendy and Gregs car as they were leaving! A testament to the love and care they bestowed upon him in our absence. Our yard was tidy, our plants were thriving and we were gifted with beautiful floral arrangements upon our return. It was a joy to come home to. Wendy and Greg have their routine and do it well, can't recommend them highly enough. Professional house sitters. Thank you!!!! Jason and Katie (Pets well cared for, Followed instructions, Home neat and clean, Maintained garden, Punctual, Resourceful).



Charlie - St Kilda VIC

 
Leanne - Kyneton VIC: Wendy and Greg were wonderfull house sitters who are well organised, professional and lovely people to deal with. Whilst I was away, they kept me updated regarding my 2 cats, and were very attentive to their individual needs, one being elderly and a bit of a sook and one being young with boundless energy. On return, the house was beautifully presented and clean, the cats happy and very well cared for with my older rag doll now loving being brushed with his new, soft brush. (Thankyou).  I couldn’t have been happier with the care and attention to detail that Wendy and Greg gave both to the care of my cats and to my house and garden. I would highly recommend these 2 lovely people to care for your pets and property.



Treco - Kyneton VIC


Lorraine - Rye VIC: Wendy & Greg just bring the wow factor to Mindahome. Words cannot describe how lucky I was to have them House/Dog Sit for me. From the outset no stone was left unturned - it really showed how serious they were about being in my home and looking after my two wee dogs. I did a handover at the start and left feeling very at ease and confident I had chosen well. This was reiterated many times throughout the sit. Wendy & Greg were in daily contact with me and frequently shared photos of my two dogs. I returned to an immaculately clean home and garden; two very happy dogs; flowers on the bench, a jar of shells they collected on the beach; fresh fruit; chocolate; food in the fridge. I have no hesitation in recommending Wendy & Greg - outstanding!



Latte - Rye VIC
 
 
Susan - Bunderberg QLD: Wendy and Greg were wonderful house and dog sitters for us. Due to needing a last minute change in dates they were only here for 3 nights, but their flexibility was very much appreciated. Our house was left throughly cleaned, the dogs well looked after too! Their communication was wonderful and we very much appreciated their help. Hoping to have them back another time :)
 
 
Ben, Marion, Millie & Henry - Samford QLD: Greg and Wendy are dream sitters. We returned home to happy pets and a delightfully clean house. Totally recommended. (5 star = House Care / Garden Care / Pet Care / Communication)

 

Caramello - Samford QLD


Melinda - Yeronga QLD: Wendy and Greg took amazing care of my home and my 2 pups (which is no easy task sometimes!). Such a lovely couple who will care for your home like their own. The house was left spotless and the pups very happy when I returned. Would definitely recommend.
 

Teddy - Yeronga QLD


John - West End QLD: Wendy and Greg are great house sitters. We could not fault them at all. The house was beautifully clean, the garden well maintained and we had a happy cat. Their communication with us during our absence was just right. Just lovely people.
