Mindful Aussies

27, Yoga & Qigong Instructor

35, Web & Graphic Design

Hello :) We are a young aussie family looking to travel and work in NZ for a time whilst look after pets along the way.

Pat runs his own freelance graphic design business and I am a qualified naturopath, yoga and qigong instructor. We have a four month old daughter named Matilda.

We both work primarily from our laptop, meaning your loved ones would have plenty of company.

We met at Yoga one day and hit it off, we share the same love of mindfulness, cooking, nature, walks, and spirituality is a big part of our lives. We love asking deep questions about life and we are always seeking to gain a better understanding of ourselves - whilst continuing to show up in the world with an open heart and mind.

We are both vegan, we don't smoke, We both LOVE animals, and we love to garden. We've had lots of experience looking after pets over the years.

We're both introverted, yet polite, open and positive with others. Not big party goers. We'd rather a night in with a book rather than seeing lots of people or going out.

We've lived independently in various places, and we understand the daily upkeep of homes and garden.

Please let us know if you'd like us to look after your home and pets. We'd be happy to meet you and have a chat via zoom or over the phone, so you can get a feel for us if you wish.

Thanks for your consideration,
Pat, Em & Matilda.

Such a lovely family. Looked after our cats and home while we were away for the weekend. ☺️
 
LIZZIE (Tatong VIC, Apr 2024 - 2 nights) From Aussie House Sitters
I found this experience disappointing.From the beginning, Patrick appeared to have little interest in the animal he was to care for. He met him about 1.5 hours before I had to leave. He had not familiarised himself with the profile I sent for the dog. During the 5 days Patrick re,mined I did not receive any communication or photos of the dog. The first news was that he was leaving. ..Initiailly he did not intend to wait until i could arrange for my son to arrive to collect the dog. He ... MORE
 
LOU (Wangaratta VIC, Feb 2024 - 1 month 2 weeks) From Aussie House Sitters
As previously agreed with Lou before the house sit, we made a 6-hour drive to Wangaratta, and Lou confirmed her approval for us to arrive in the morning when the house sit commenced to meet Diggity. She also mentioned that updates on Diggity were optional. We provided an update to Lou on March 1st, ... MORE
Pat and Em were truly wonderful housesitters. They treated our cat and dog like their own, with lots of love and care. We got regular updates, including photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. We returned from our month away to a spotless house and relaxed and calm pets. We would highly recommend them as housesitters!
 
CATHERINE (Reservoir South VIC, Dec 2023 - 4 weeks) From Aussie House Sitters
Pat an Em looked after our house, 2 dogs and 1 cat for 2 weeks and we felt very happy to have them in our home. It is always great to come back to a tidy home and all happy pets! Being sent picture updates of the animals put my mind at ease. Thank you Pat and Em!
 
KELLEY (Gosnells WA, Aug 2020 - 2 weeks) From Aussie House Sitters
Patrick & Emma did a tarrific job taking care of my home and cat Maya, they left the place clean, tidy and Maya was relaxed and content when I arrived home. I would recommend them for future sits. Thank you Damien

No rating We were lucky to get Pat and Em at such short notice. They looked after our home and cats really well and we came home to a lovely clean house and happy cats. We hope we will be able to call on you again later in the year - and hope you will be available! Thank you.
CLAIRE (Toodyay WA, Jun 2020 - 3 Weeks) From Aussie House Sitters
Patrick & Emma were a delight to have looking after our dog & house and I would highly recommend them. Most importantly, we returned to find our dog Koco extremely calm, relaxed, happy and content - maybe even more than when we are looking after her! They are both polite and courteous and communication was excellent. Our house was immaculate when we returned and we will definitely be seeking to use them again for future sits.
 
RICHMOND (Don Valley VIC, Jan 2020 - 2 weeks 1 day) From Aussie House Sitters
Excellent communication. Really made us feel comfortable leaving our house in their hands.
 
SARAH (Mornington VIC, Dec 2019 - 1 week) From Aussie House Sitters

Green garden!

Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
