favoriteWhat we love about our area

The views are beautiful and the sunsets memorable
We have lived here for about last 5 years
We have built a home on our property for our parents but the animals we have are a bit much for them to handle at their age so we require a caring person to look after our pets and our house

Review

Mandi & El ! It was both our and Mandi & El's first time experiencing house/ pet sitting and I must say they set a high standard! Communication with them was 10/10 - ready to answer any question we had. The house was homely and inviting! We had the opportunity to stay with Mandi & El a few nights before they left and they were the most beautifully welcoming people (as well as there daughter Sharie) and so happy to have a chat with you about anything! The 3 dogs had so much energy and so much ... MoreMandi & El ! It was both our and Mandi & El's first time experiencing house/ pet sitting and I must say they set a high standard!

The 3 dogs had so much energy and so much love to give we loved every second of looking after them. Our little boy LOVED the farm animals (2 sheep, 2 goats & mr pickles the pig) - we are very excited to come back and look after your pets & see you again Mandi & El ! Thankyou
