favoriteWhy we love house sitting

The people and pets we've met. Each & every pet we've looked after has been amazing. All having their own quirky personalities. So many great memories we've made with the animals and the places you get to explore with them! We are constantly looking and laughing at photos from this great adventure.

Hey Guys!
My partner and I are from New Zealand. We have spent the majority of the last 4 years house/pet sitting around Australia in places such as Perth. Brisbane, Gold Coast, Melbourne & more. We have had the absolute best time meeting so many great people & pets along our journey, and can't wait to meet many more!

A little bit about us,
My partner is from the West Coast, and I am from Nelson, NZ. We are both animal-oriented and figured this would be a great way to do what we both love: caring for animals! Em is currently studying her Animal Care Level 3 Certificate. We have dogs of our own in New Zealand with family. Most days, you can catch us with them down the beach or walking the trails. They usually come everywhere with us! We also have two cats who spend most of their time lazing around the house, judging or sleeping.
We are both exceptionally respectful, responsible & clean. Occupation-wise, I have experience in property management & nannying, while my partner works in the dairy industry, both on the farm & within the dairy plants. We are Non-smokers, have full NZ/Australian licences, and valid police checks. We can't wait to meet you and your fur babies!

From Aussie House Sitters
We absolutely loved having Em and T come to look after our house and 2 dogs while we were away for 4 months. They are fantastic communicators and settled in with the dogs so quickly! The house was left in great condition and the yard looked lovely on our return. Most importantly though, our dogs were so calm and settled while we were away. We would love to have Em and T come back any time as we know that everything would be so well looked after. Thanks so much for everything!

Emma & Tetini are a lovely young couple, who are the most dedicated, caring, responsible sitters that we've had. They cared and loved our fur babies, Gus & Harry, as if they were their own. They kept us updated regularly, with photos and video's which gave us peace of mind from a million miles away Arriving home to an immaculate clean house and tidy garden. Staple foods in the fridge, a bite to eat along with treats awaiting us. We were fortunate to have them stay for an extra day, ...

Staple foods in the fridge, a bite to eat along with treats awaiting us. We were fortunate to have them stay for an extra day, so we could get to meet and get to know them ( we were already away when they arrived) and felt like they were part of our family. Gus & Harry missed them when they left, and so did we. We can't recommend them highly enough , and we will definitely look to book them in for our next holiday.

I can’t recommend Emma and T highly enough! They looked after my Rottie, Bear, for almost three months while I was overseas, and they went above and beyond in every way. I received regular updates and photos of Bear, which put me completely at ease. They took him to the vet when needed and cared for him as if he were their own dog. I was so nervous about leaving him for such a long time, but Emma and T made the whole experience stress free and reassuring. Not only did they take incredible ...

Not only did they take incredible care of Bear, but they also kept my home in excellent condition. They watered my plants, left the house spotless, and were amazing to communicate with throughout. I would book them again without hesitation. Truly the best sitters I’ve ever dealt with!

We were so glad to find T last minute to look after our place and cat, Percy, recently after our original arrangement fell through. He was super easy and clear to communicate with, kept us up to date our whole trip and he had the place spotless for when we got home. We only wish he was based closer so he could sit more often. We really lucked out finding him!

Excellent people who I could not recommend more highly. Our dog, Marley, loved them & we arrived home after 8wks to a happy & relaxed dog who had clearly been loved & well cared for. Marley is an older dog who is set in his ways but they took great care to find out his needs from us & make sure they were met. They took great care of our property as well - everything was clean & tidy upon our return. Emma & T also communicated regularly with us both before & during the sit, providing regular ...

As always the house sitting and care of our animals was above and beyond. This house sitting was of particular importance because cyclone Alfred played a part but Tetini took care of everything and kept everyone and everything safe reassuring us the whole time the place was in good hands.

These are simply the best!! I wish all house sitters were as honest and attentive as these guys. This is their third house sit for us, they really help us to know the house and fur gang is well cared for so we can relax on our holidays.
From Aussie House Sitters
Emma and T did a fantastic job of caring for our house and our dog Loki. We would happily use them again, and recommend them to anyone else.
From Aussie House Sitters
Em and T are the sweetest couple and the girls simply adored them. They were super active with the dogs and sent through lots of updates. The girls were so loved while I was away. They left the house super clean and tidy. They were super easy to talk with and organise the house sit. Accomodating when I had to come home earlier than expected. Cannot recommend them both more highly. Will be using them again in the future :)
From Aussie House Sitters
Emma and T are a lovely couple and were amazing sitters. Our 2 doggos had so much fun and were well looked after. We would highly recommend these guys to anyone who wants there fur babies and house minded.

Emma and T are absolutely the best house sitters. They kept up regular conversation and photos whilst we were away. They took the time to understand and learn about our pets individual personalities. We also came home our place looking better than I left it. Our animals fell in love with them and after we returned home we caught them wandering off to look for them in their room.

The fishtank and cat looked happy upon return, so the main job was done! Let down was communication - didn't get to meet, arrived late, without paperwork. Assured I'd get a photo every day, but averaged every 3/4. Didn't let me know when I could use my pumpkii treat robot. First time being away from her for so long so it meant a lot to see her. Didn't top up the water fountain and there was way too much food out. 2 small things got broken, but accidents happen. Palm trees were dying, ...

Not big issues, but I did ask how the plants were going. Didn't get to see them before they left. House was clean enough, and the animals seemed happy so that's the main thing.

Emma and Tetini were exceptional communicators before, during and after housesitting. They took such great care of my pup and left my place so clean and tidy after they left. I came home to my place looking better than when I left. They even had dinner ready for me when I came home because they knew I was getting back to Brisbane late. They are responsible, kind and respectful. I will definitely be using them again. Thank you, Emma and Tetini!

If you are looking for two housesitters who will love and care for your pets/house like they are their own, look no further than Emma and T! Leaving your pets/house in the care of strangers is always a nerve-wracking process, but from the moment we met Emma and T, we knew we had nothing to worry about.

Two genuinely lovely, reliable and trustworthy people who took incredible care of our pups for us. They came to meet our dogs twice prior to the house-sit so the dogs could get to know them and they kept us updated with messages and photos of the dogs having the time of their lives with them whilst we were away. The house was left clean and tidy and they went above and beyond by mowing the lawn. We cannot recommend Emma and T highly enough. Thank you, guys. Floss and Biscuit will miss you!

Emma and T were an absolute dream. They cared for our dogs as if they were their own, it was so great to be away and be confident our dogs were being so well cared for. Would recommend them to anyone needing a dog/house sitter, and would happily use them again for a future trip
From Aussie House Sitters
Could not be any happier with Em and T! I got the chance to briefly meet them before leaving and they are both just lovely people. I got a few updates while I was away and when I came home the house looked better than when I left it. It made my time away so easy knowing my pup was being looked after by these two. Thanks a bunch guys!
From Aussie House Sitters
Emma and T were just the best! Our dogs absolutely loved them and I think are missing them since they left :) They kept us updated the whole time and sent photos. Our house was also taken care of and we came home to a perfect place! It was such a relief knowing our pups were happy and taken care of and made our holiday stress free knowing they were in the best hands. Can’t recommend these two enough… no need to look anymore these are the sitters you want!
From Aussie House Sitters
Emma and T were so good to Benny and our home, we came back to a very happy doggo! It's great when you can find a couple who are big dog lovers and go above and beyond. Loved getting the photo updates every day. Thanks so much to you both ☺️
From Aussie House Sitters
Emma and T were the perfect house sitters! They looked after Cowboy extremely well, and sated my overbearing dog mum ways by sending my frequent updates and photos. We would love to have them back again if we could :)
