Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, caring & trustworthy
We've been housesitting for over 4 years now and have completed 30+ housesits, consistently leaving pets very happy and houses well cared for and clean. We have had the pleasure of taking care of a variety of pets, different breeds and ages, from young and energetic to older and more relaxed. We’ve cared for small dogs (Yorkshire terriers) all the way through labradors, cocker spaniels and up to Rottweiler/ German shepherd cross and a 50kg Greek Shepherd. We now have our own house and a gorgeous cocker spaniel who is just over 1 years old, who is very well behaved and friendly with other dogs. We have a safe fenced garden and plenty of great walks to go on nearby. We're comfortable administering medication, including insulin injections and heart medication, and we understand the importance of timing to ensure the pets receive their medication on schedule. We love going on long adventures with dogs, exploring new places as well as keeping the pets company around the house.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Olivia and Liam were absolutely amazing. They really looked after our dogs as though they were their own. The dogs were so chilled with them. They sent us lots of photos and videos and kept in touch with us daily. Because of them we were able to go away and enjoy our holiday without having to worry about the dogs. The house was immaculate when we got back. They are a really lovely couple and we would thoroughly recommend them.
Wonderful couple who were brilliant with both dogs, each having completely different temperaments. Left the house super tidy and would definitely use again.
We recently had our first experience with housesitting when enjoying a weekend away. How lucky were we to have Olivia! We met Olivia and Liam a couple of days before leaving. From the moment we met them, we felt at ease in trusting our pets and home to Olivia, and our views were only enhanced by the completion of the pet sitting period. Olivia got to know our pets during the introduction and immediately you could see her genuine affection for animals. During the weekend, Olivia communicated regularly with reports and photos of how our pets were going which allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. On arrival home, we were greeted by happy and contented pets, and we were unable to tell that anyone had even been in our house such was the state of tidiness and cleanliness of the house. We cannot rate Olivia highly enough to anyone who is considering using her for their house and pet sitting requirements. Yvonne and John
Olivia and Liam took care of our cocker spaniel sisters for two weeks, we couldn’t have gotten a better pair of house/dog sitters ! They both came round and met us for a chat a few days before and we instantly hit it off! Our girls absolutely loved them. Through out the whole stay at our place their communication was spot on, they took our dogs on huge walks every day and sent us plenty of videos ! We could not recommend anybody better than Oliva and Liam, they are kind, respectful and took excellent care of our spaniels. By the time we arrived back in Sydney we ended up going for dinner with them both on the Sunday evening ! Oliva and Liam, thank you so much !
I can not recommend Olivia and Liam enough as house sitters. They took on my 10 year old diabetic dog, Tilly, and her twice daily injections with ease. They are kind, considerate, responsible and mature people who are very trustworthy. They dealt with Tilly's injections and a subsequent eye infection with care and professionalism. They took her to the vet and sent photographs of her ointment. They spoilt her and were very conscientious dog carers. Olivia and Liam also left our house immaculately clean and were very respectful of our space. I have invited them back. I cannot praise them enough. Such a lovely, warm, careful couple. They treated Tilly as if she were their own pet.

Schedule
We work from home so will always be around to keep your dog company and we have plenty of time for play time and walks. We also have a 1 year old female cocker spaniel who is very well socialised and loves to play.

Safety, trust & environment
We live on a safe quiet road with a fenced garden. We have plenty of dog toys already to play with and a big sofa for cuddles!
A typical day
The best thing about housesitting as a couple is that we both have different skills and energy to bring to the table. We both love having pets as company and taking them on long adventures. Liam has a lot of energy himself so loves playing with the pets, practicing commands and tiring out the dogs with mental stimulation. Olivia enjoys all of this as well and loves a cuddle on the sofa! We like to think that dogs have their own little holiday when we look after them. We love taking them to their favourite parks, giving them a good run around or just a good sniff!
