House & Pet Sitting Bristol, ENGLAND United Kingdom
We were delighted to have Jill and Gavin house-sit for us again!
This was the second time we've entrusted them with our home, dog, and tortoise, and once again, they exceeded our expectations.
Our dog was happy and well-cared-for, and our tortoise was thriving when we returned. They kept our house in perfect order, and we had complete peace of mind knowing everything was in their capable hands.
We highly recommend Jill and Gavin for anyone looking for reliable and caring house-sitters.
We wouldn't hesitate to use their services again in the future!

Jillian and Gavin arrived the day before the sit was due to start as we were leaving very early the next morning. Communication had been very good beforehand and Jill was aware of what needed to be done whilst we were away.
They were both very friendly and I immediately felt comfortable leaving the dogs and house in their hands. Whilst I was away they explored the surrounding areas with the dogs and gave Lola and Bailey all the love and care they needed.
Thank you so much for taking care of the dogs. It was lovely meeting you and I’m so very grateful for such a smooth sit!

We’ve loved Jill and Gavin’s support for our sit and would recommend them to others.
Easy to deal with before during and after. Sent us plenty of photo updates of our two pets a small dog and a tortoise, both looking happy 😃.
All in all a great experience and we have a second sit planned already with Jill and Gavin again during the summer.

Jill and Gavin looked after our Mimi (Beagle and Fox cross) for 2 and a half weeks.
They were incredible, they sent us beautiful photos of our baby almost every day. They went to the park every day so he could stretch his legs! At home, they made the most of their time with him with cuddling sessions!
The flat was perfect when we got back! As if we'd never left, Mimi was in great shape.
Jill and Gavin handled Mimi exceptionally well, as our dog is not the easiest as he needs a lot of guidance. So many thanks to Jill and Gavin for their kindness and generosity. I hope to see them again.

This was our first housesitter experience outside of relying on family and friends.
We were apprehensive about who'd look after our home & 3YO active bordoodle while we were overseas for 4 weeks. We met Jill and Gavin and they immediately put us at ease with their depth of experience and approach. Millie took to them immediately.
Our home & garden was well cared for as well. It was great to have Jill's regular Whatsapp updates with photos of Millie enjoying her walks and swims.
It was a very positive experience and we'd love to ask them to sit for us again!

House & Pet Sitting Yarraville, VIC Australia
We have been extremely lucky to have had Jill and Gavin look after our two miniature bulldogs on many occasions. Jill and Gavin started looking after our dogs when they were both puppies when they were both full of energy and at times a little naughty. They looked after them extremely well, taking them for wonderful long walks, park visits and lots of pats and hugs at home. Our dogs are now at the ripe age of 12 and 14 and have very different care needs now which Jill and Gavin again meet perfectly.
They provide our dogs with so much love and care which provides us so much reassurance when we are away from them knowing they are getting the royal treatment! Not only are both of our dogs so well looked after but our house looks better than we left it. Jill and Gavin always provide updates on the dogs whilst we are away which was especially welcomed this last house sit as one of our dogs had a recent health scare so I found that very comforting whilst being overseas.
Jill and Gavin are two of the loveliest people we know and we could not recommend them more to anyone.

Currently 5 Repeat Sits!
This is the fifth time we have managed to get Jill and Gavin to look after our precious dog and house. Because they are in such popular demand, we arranged our 5 month holiday around when they were free. We did this because they are so trustworthy, look after the house, gardens and pool with great care, but what’s more important for us is that they take the most amazing care of our 10.5 year old border collie, Frankie.
She loves them so much (probably because they spend most of their day making sure she is happy, well fed, exercised and content) that she almost ignored us when we came home and cried when they left to go on another house sit.
They communicated well with us, giving us almost daily updates and pictures of how everything was going and came to visit us (probably Frankie, not us) about a week after
.
We would not hesitate is recommending Jill and Gavin to you.

Jill and Gavin cared for our two dogs Lucy (Staffordshire Bull Terrier) and Pip (Chihuahua cross) while we travelled up north for a week plus during school holidays.
They were great communicators from start to finish and sent lots of photos of cuddles, walks and dogs sunbathing on our deck. Jill should be a pro animal photographer some of the photos were that good!
We came home to two happy dogs and a tidy clean house. We would highly recommend. Jill and Gavin are the real deal pro pet sitters who genuinely love dogs.

Jill and Gavin were absolutely fabulous from the first point of contact through to helping me navigate the whole process as a first time user of a house sitter.
They were very thorough of all the questions they asked which made me feel soo comfortable leaving both our home and dogs in their care. Jill kept me updated with pics throughout our holiday which put me completely at ease and left no wondering if everything was ok back home.
Thank you so much Jill and Gavin for helping us out!

They cared so well for our dog, he really missed them when they left. Our house was left super clean and garden/pool etc were well maintained and cared for. Jill sent us regular updates and photos while we were overseas for 6 weeks.
We would not hesitate to ask them to sit for us again, if I could give 6 stars I would !

House & Pet Sitting Testimonial Australind, WA Australia
It was wonderful to go away knowing our fur babies were in good hands with Jill & Gavin. We chose them because of their experience, as this was our first time using house sitters, & it worked out great.
They knew all the right questions to ask as we didn't know where to start, including asking us to fill in a questionnaire all about our pooches. They communicated regularly with photos & video of the dogs so we could see they were happy. A pre-arranged vet visit & administering medication was also no problem for them.
When we returned the house was clean & tidy & the garden well cared for but, most importantly, the dogs were happy, healthy & relaxed. Couldn't ask for more. Thank you both very much.

Jill and Gavin recently stayed at my house in Scarborough WA.
The main reason for them being there was to take care of my two dogs, while I was away overseas. They were great, easy to communicate with. reliable, and very experienced in house/pet sitting.
They did a great job, my dogs were happy and healthy when I returned, and the house was clean and tidy.
What more could I ask for. I can highly recommend Jill and Gavin to house/pet sit, and would definitely ask them to stay again.

They made our dogs feel so loved. The chickens were happy and well cared for. The house was tidy and clean. Jill always kept in touch sending pics of the hairy children.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jill & Gavin as trusted house/pet sitters. I'd love to rebook them but fear they're already in high demand!
Thanks again J&G

We were lucky to have Jill and Gavin look after our two pups and house for 3.5 months while we went overseas.
It was a very stressful time having to travel during a pandemic and not knowing if we could get on a flight back but Jill and Gavin were flexible and accommodating, and knowing that at least the dogs and the house were in good hands helped a lot. They kept us updated regularly with photos and messages.
Upon return our house was spotless, neat and tidy, the plants looked healthy, the pool was clean, and most importantly our pups where healthy and happy.
Thanks again Jill and Gavin for your great care and professionalism.

We cannot thank Jill & Gavin enough!
We are so grateful to have found them, they were the perfect solution to being able to leave our house & kitty for our 4 weeks honeymoon. This was our first ever housesit experience but from the very beginning they made us feel so comfortable & in safe hands.
It is so obvious that they know what they are doing and are completely professional! They kept in contact throughout our trip with photos and updates of Cosmo (our cat) which we appreciated and put our minds at ease. They respected our home and we returned to a neat and tidy house, a well-cared for little kitty, flourishing plants, veggie patch + lawns and even milk + dinner prepared in the fridge (can you believe it!?).
Trustworthy, reliable, friendly, genuine, they go up & beyond and we hope to welcome them back again!
Stop looking & contact Jill&Gav! Absolutely perfect!

"Hi Jill & Gav, many thanks so much for looking after us while Mum & Dad went globetrotting.
Taking us for rides to the river in our 'mobile kennel', so we could leave 'weemails" for all our riverside friends, was very thoughtful of you. As you know we didn't miss Mum & Dad one bit, as you kept to our routines, gave us lots of attention and most importantly knew which bit of the couch was for humans and what was ours
- just like to say Jill & Gavin, we would have you back anytime to hound sit for us - your the best.

"My husband and I had the pleasure of having Jill and Gavin dog/house sit for us back in 2011. We were ecstatic when they were able to do it again for us during September this year.
I have always been very anxious about leaving our two dogs when we go on holiday but knowing it is Jill and Gavin looking after them makes me so at ease and relaxed knowing they will be looked after so well. The dogs absolutely love Jill and Gavin, they are always so happy and relaxed which is quite remarkable seeing one of our dogs can be very anxious with others. Jill and Gavin sent us updates and we were able to follow what the dogs got up to on their social media accounts.
We have been very spoilt having Jill and Gavin dog/house sit for us again to the point where we don’t want anybody else other than them to do it in the future! I would recommend Jill and Gavin pet sitting to anyone, they are not only amazing house and pet sitters but such lovely people.
Thank you so much!

"Jill and Gavin are the perfect housesitters! They took excellent care of our dog Alfie, giving him plenty of long walks and attention, both of which he loves. He didn’t want them to leave when it was time for them to go.
On our return from holiday we had a happy dog, a clean and tidy house and a good feeling inside. (Jill had even made us some lunch after a long time on the road, which was really helpful.) Jill and Gavin are reliable, trustworthy, friendly and have bags of common sense. I had no worries about Alfie or the house while we were away, I knew both were in safe hands.
Gavin took some gorgeous photos of Alfie -better than any I have ever taken- and they emailed these on to us. From start to finish we had an excellent experience with Housesitters and believe that Jill and Gavin should be rated as the ultimate supersitters!

"If it wasn’t for Jill and Gavin making themselves available we might have missed out on our long awaited cruise.
A quick browse of their impressive house sitting history is a real confidence boost in this warm, interesting, experienced and highly professional couple. Right from the beginning when we were asked to complete a questionaire about our property and pets we were confident that they were thorough with acute attention to detail.
They were just wonderful - tending to our gardens and lawns, exercising and caring for our dogs, keeping us updated while we were away and leaving the house in pristine condition for our return. This included laundering all our linen.
We and our dogs are unanimous in highly recommending Jill and Gavin and would not hesitate to have them house sit for us again."

"What can I say about Jill and Gavin? They were simply fantastic.
We were away for 2 months, which is a long time to be away from our furry friends but they treated them with so much love and attention. We knew this from the many facebook posts they shared with us.
Frankie adored them - she loved going on the long walks, swimming and to the dog park. They were just as attentive to our home as well.
The house was immaculate and the gardens beautiful when we arrived home.
They even left us a meal for our first night back. So thoughtful. Would definitely ask for them next time we go away.

" Dear Jill & Gavin,
Just Wanted to say a huge thank you for looking after Frankie and Brooklyn for the four months we were travelling parts of Australia. It was clear to see that both animals remembered you from the previous times you looked after them.
Obviously, your care and kindness were remembered and it made Peter and I less concerned and stressed and allowed us to enjoy our holiday without concern for them.
Thank you again for doing what you do best – house and pet sitting and the many walks you took Frankie on. She now expects a minimum of 10,000 step walks everyday followed by a swim!!
All the very best with your future sitting and fingers crossed you will be available next time we take ‘to the road’ and are not able to take Frankie and Brooklyn with us.
Kind regards Peter & Mary-Ann "

"Dear Jill and Gavin,
Thank you so much for taking care of Snoop and our home so lovingly in April.
It was our first time using house sitters, so we were a little unsure of the process - but you made the whole experience easy and stress-free.
We were able to relax and enjoy our holiday, knowing everything at home was in good, safe hands. We loved the regular updates and photos of Snoop's adventures and outings and couldn't have had a better experience. Thank you and we wish you all the best with your travels.
To other potential home owners looking for a sitter:
We highly recommend Jill and Gavin as house sitters, it felt like family members were staying at the house and looking after our beautiful one-year old beaglier.
All the very best,
Julie, Stephen and Snoop (who misses you both)."

"To Whom it May Concern,
It is with great pleasure that I offer a reference to Jill and Gavin Shelton for their assistance with minding our house and taking wonderful care of our pets while we were away on holidays.
It is hard to know where to start with Jill and Gavin as we found them to be the most relaxed yet organised couple who pay so much attention to our dogs and cat that I think they almost miss them more than us! Their communication is brilliant with them sending regular updates on what our babies are doing.
Jill and Gavin have done a couple of house sits for us now over the last 21/2 years and the only reason it is not more is because they have already been booked or have been travelling overseas at the times we have needed to take our holidays. They have been our first choice every time and I do wish they could have done it every time as our boys have always been happy and relaxed when we get home.
All of our pets are rescued and have some little quirks and medications required which does not phase Jill and Gavin. They have such an affection for and a way with the animals they care for, it is amazing. One of my dogs in particular has been badly abused and is frightened of most people (especially men) but within 5 minutes of meeting Gavin, he was sitting up beside him! On their recent house sit there was no question of them remembering Jill and Gavin as they saddled up beside them straight away.
Before meeting Jill and Gavin I was always apprehensive about going away and would prefer to stay at home or do pet friendly holidays. I still feel this way if they are unable to house sit for us. On our last trip (Dec 2017-Jan 2018) because I knew they were coming I could go away feeling so relaxed and really enjoy my holiday knowing that my babies (and my house) was left in good hands. On that note I should mention my house was left spotless and our pool and garden well cared for, although the welfare of my pets is the most important thing.
Again, I would like to say Gavin and Jill are professional, trustworthy, generous with their time and most importantly, compassionate and loving to my dogs and cat and I can say with no hesitation what-so-ever they are the most amazing house sitters you could ask for.
I would be more than happy to speak to anyone via phone or email, if they had any questions relating to Jill and Gavin staying and my previous hesitations about going away and leaving my boys, that is until I met these two wonderful sitters.
Thank you Jill and Gavin!
Sincerely,
Jacinta"
It is with great pleasure that I offer a reference to Jill and Gavin Shelton for their assistance with minding our house and taking wonderful care of our pets while we were away on holidays.
It is hard to know where to start with Jill and Gavin as we found them to be the most relaxed yet organised couple who pay so much attention to our dogs and cat that I think they almost miss them more than us! Their communication is brilliant with them sending regular updates on what our babies are doing.
Jill and Gavin have done a couple of house sits for us now over the last 21/2 years and the only reason it is not more is because they have already been booked or have been travelling overseas at the times we have needed to take our holidays. They have been our first choice every time and I do wish they could have done it every time as our boys have always been happy and relaxed when we get home.
All of our pets are rescued and have some little quirks and medications required which does not phase Jill and Gavin. They have such an affection for and a way with the animals they care for, it is amazing. One of my dogs in particular has been badly abused and is frightened of most people (especially men) but within 5 minutes of meeting Gavin, he was sitting up beside him! On their recent house sit there was no question of them remembering Jill and Gavin as they saddled up beside them straight away.

House & Pet Sitting Testimonial La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico
"Jill & Gavin agreed to house & pet sit in La Paz, Baja, while I did something I’d been postpon-ing for four years: flew to the U.S. to dismantle the storage unit I’d been paying monthly rent on all those years. It knew I had a hard job in front of me, both physically and mentally, and I was a little nervous leaving my dog, Daisy, and her cat friend, Tinkerbelle for the 10 days I’d be gone.
When Jill & Gavin arrived, perhaps it was because they’ve been doing this for 8 years, or may-be it was just their calm way of being, but I started to feel like I didn’t need to worry. And, while I was gone, it was a real pleasure to find photos of my animals almost every day, to help me when I got homesick!
Upon arriving home, I immediately noticed both Daisy and Tink were mellow and had no stress while I’d been away, in fact, they seemed to be thriving. The house was cleaner than I’d left it, little problems had been brainstormed and sorted out in my absence, and many other details other house sitters might miss had all been taken care of.
I recommend Jill & Gavin wholeheartedly and hope to see them back again one day.

"Jill and Gavin are the perfect housesitters! They took excellent care of our dog Alfie, giving him plenty of long walks and attention, both of which he loves. He didn’t want them to leave when it was time for them to go.
On our return from holiday we had a happy dog, a clean and tidy house and a good feeling inside. (Jill had even made us some lunch after a long time on the road, which was really helpful.) Jill and Gavin are reliable, trustworthy, friendly and have bags of common sense. I had no worries about Alfie or the house while we were away, I knew both were in safe hands.
Gavin took some gorgeous photos of Alfie -better than any I have ever taken- and they emailed these on to us. From start to finish we had an excellent experience with Housesitters and believe that Jill and Gavin should be rated as the ultimate supersitters!

"Where can I begin?
Jill and Gavin were a delight from the start. They are great communicators and really truly cared for my 2 big (and not always so easy) dogs. Their questionnaire is very thorough, and when I was away, I was able to really relax, knowing my dogs were living their normal routines, but with different (amazing!) people taking care of them.
Jill & Gavin are really easy going, helpful, and kind. My dogs had a great time, and my friends from the dog park keep telling me how well cared for they were.
I would highly recommend Jill and Gavin to anybody considering them for house or pet sitting, and we hope to see them here in Mexico City soon!

"It is with great pleasure and reassurance that I refer Gavin and Jill to anyone who loves their pets and home.
They went above and beyond what is expected of a house/pet sitter. Our 2 small dogs were lovingly taken care of, and our home and plants well maintained. They are a very clean, tidy couple.
My neighbors met and were impressed with their diligence walking our pups. They even befriended a stray cat in the neighborhood who went on daily walks with them. I felt they treated my home and our 2 dogs as if they were their own.
The only downside- My dogs were a little depressed when they left.

From our initial interaction on the phone to meeting Gavin and Jill in person, we found them to be polite, respectful, easy to talk to and genuine people with a love for what they do.
Our cat Fletcher settled quickly with Jill and Gavin, was well loved and enjoyed the occasional photo shoot for updates. We felt comfortable & confident leaving our home and our furry child in their hands.
We definitely recommend Gavin and Jill for anyone considering using them for a house/pet sit and we look forward to working with them again in the future.

This time we decided to use Aussie house sitters and we're so impressed with Jill & Gavins references and correspondence, from the get go I knew we could go away stress free and that our house and dog would be looked after.
Although the times we travelled we never actually got to meet them in person, we were so happy with our choice. They kept us updated with pics, the house, yard and pool could not have been cleaner, it was so great coming home with nothing to do.
I wouldn't hesitate to recomend Jill & Gavin to house / pet sit. We are so glad we chose them.

"Jill and Gavin are a lovely couple who recently house and dog-sat for us for four weeks. They took such great care of Max, our 10 year old Irish wolfhound cross - she didn’t want them to leave! Jill and Gavin took Max on long walks to the beach and park daily, and kept us updated the entire time with photos via email and on their Facebook page. On arrival back home, our house was even cleaner than when we left it, and we even had a delicious homemade cake waiting for us.
Right from the first contact to the follow up messages after we arrived back home, both Jill and Gavin have been reliable and so helpful, given this was our first house sitting experience.
We certainly would have them look after Max again, and would recommend them to others without hesitation.

"Our regular house-sitter couldn’t come this year so we put out some feelers to find a new house-sitter to mind our house and care for our two cats and five chooks.
Jill and Gavin were recommended by my sister who is also a long-term house-sitter and when they called in for a quick meeting we knew straight away that we had found a couple who would be the ideal house-sitters.
They had only been here for a few minutes before both our cats were purring and looking for a scratch and a pat. Perfect.
We were totally confident and relaxed while we were away, knowing that Jill and Gavin had everything in hand and our girls were well cared for. I am very happy to recommend Jill and Gavin as house-sitters and will certainly see if they are available for our next trip away.

"Jill & Gavin,
We were very apprehensive in having people we didn’t know to house sit for us for 5 weeks while we were overseas, especially as our property was on the market.
After meeting Jill & Gavin, our minds were at rest, we felt like they were long- time friends. We didn’t have any animals for them to look after except for a few goldfish in our outside pond.
They cared for our 2.5acre property beautifully, although a couple of minor issues with the bore and mower which were easily overcome with the help from our neighbour.
We didn’t worry at all while we were away even though we had no phone or internet for most of our trip, and came home to a well maintained, home and yard.
Thanks again Jill & Gav, we would recommend you to anyone wanting reliable house-sitters.

"This was our first experience of having a house sitter for our dog Gertie (1 year old springer spaniel) for just over three weeks this summer.
We could not have asked for better housesitters than Jill and Gavin. Before the housesit started Jill and Gavin sent through a questionnaire to understand more about Gertie and her routine, the house and the local area to ensure everything went smoothly. They arrived the evening before we went away so we had plenty of time for a proper handover.
Whilst we were away Jill and Gavin sent through weekly updates from home and some lovely photos of the many trips and walks they had taken Gertie on, which were much appreciated.
On our return the house was completely spotless. Gertie loved the time she spent with Jill and Gavin and after they left she was often looking out the window wondering when they would return!
We really appreciated their approach and the care they provided for Gertie and our house.
We would highly recommend.

"To future people using Jill & Gavin as house sitters,
This was our first venture into using a house sitter while we went overseas for a month, my husband and I were extremely nervous about allowing people we didn’t know into our home and would they take good enough care of our 2 beautiful rescue dogs?
A few phone calls, emails and meeting up with Jill & Gavin filled us with confidence that our house and dogs were going to be left in fab hands. Our boys (dogs) are quite picky about who they like and who they don’t and they were very settled with Jill & Gavin from the first meeting.
They are a very pleasant couple, adaptable and had a positive outlook. They established great relationships with our neighbours and were able to cope with everything we had forgotten to tell them (which was a bit!) about the house or dog regimes.
I cannot thank them enough for the wonderful care they took of our boys & house while we were away, nothing was ever an issue – there were a few emails and phone calls from me. There was always a reassuring response and nothing was ever a problem.
Knowing our dogs were so well cared for allowed us to really relax and not worry.
I would recommend Jill and Gavin to anyone in a heartbeat – they were truly fantastic.
Thank you both and our door is always open if you ever need a bed in Brisbane.

"My husband and I were overseas for an extended period of time this year. We invited Gavin and Jillian to look after our house and garden and as we were absent for three and a half months, I needed to be comfortable in their taking on the responsibility.
This was my fifth year in advertising for house sitters and I had a good sense of what was important for me in the role. I met with them first and could see they were very experienced and that they liked dogs. This was of great significance as I was leaving my small bichon frise, Millie, in their care. I was grateful for their attention to Millie whose health unfortunately deteriorated in our absence.
Jillian and I kept in touch via email and at my request, she and Gavin made regular visits to the vet until the medication did what was required. Without their conscientious attention, I’m not sure what the outcome would have been. I know that they became very attached to Millie who certainly preferred Jillian to me on my return.
Jillian also kept an eye on the mail for us and would email me if any envelope might require attention. I felt I could trust her to open and scan the questionable letters which she did at my request. Gavin kindly assisted us getting to and from the airport and it was wonderful to come home to a tidy house and garden.
All was in order and I certainly would recommend them as house sitters.

"To Whom It May Concern:
Jill and Gavin house and dog sat for me in February 2015.
They took excellent care of my slightly high-maintenance dog, Ted, as well as my house. Ted has a few special needs and they handled those with no concerns. The house was in great shape. I also included my car in the housesit, and there were no problems at all.
I have used a number of sitters through mindahome and Jill and Gavin are definitely among the best. I am happy to provide further info or a phone reference.
Warm Regards

They took excellent care of my slightly high-maintenance dog, Ted, as well as my house. Ted has a few special needs and they handled those with no concerns. The house was in great shape. I also included my car in the housesit, and there were no problems at all.
I have used a number of sitters through mindahome and Jill and Gavin are definitely among the best. I am happy to provide further info or a phone reference.
Warm Regards

"To Whom It May Concern:
We were fortunate to have Jill and Gavin look after our dogs and house whilst we were travelling earlier this year. It was an unexpected trip and we had to find sitters quickly as our usual couple were unable to come.
Luckily for us Jill and Gavin were in between sits and our location fitted with their travel plan. We have 2 small dogs who are used to new people and generally easy to look after however, the older dog has just been diagnosed with lymphoma and we were concerned about leaving her with someone she didn’t know.
We really had no need to worry as both dogs were very comfortable with Jill and Gavin from the moment they met and definitely enjoyed being with them. It made our holiday a lot more relaxed knowing that we had someone who obviously cared about our dogs minding them.
During our absence we kept in touch via email with Jill giving us regular updates on daily happenings at home. These communications are indicative of the professionalism of Jill and Gavin.
On our return we were greeted by two very happy and contented dogs and a house completely in order with no surprises – a very satisfying experience. We would love to have them come again, as would Oscar and Molly.
We are more than happy to recommend Jill & Gavin to anyone who is looking for house/pet sitters, they are responsible, caring people with a genuine affection for the animals in their care, and take real pleasure in what they do.
Sincerely
Bob and Dee"

"Dear Jill & Gavin,
Thank you for looking after our house and fur family while we were in the UK for 4 weeks.
It was reassuring to know everything was well looked after & we did not have to worry about anything. Regular updates were great too, especially requesting how to pump up the flat tyre on the ride on mower & actually doing repairs on it too! On returning the house was perfectly clean & Xinga came out for a quick hello, but did not seem to miss us at all- we’ve only had that dog for 9 years!
I’m glad we left my little car for your use also, I felt really guilty giving you a grubby dirty car & getting a super clean one back ☺.
Once again thank you very much, we have been recommending you both to all our friends. We are planning another visit to the UK in 4 years, so hopefully you’ll be available!
If you are ever headed this way again & have a gap in between sits, you’re both more than welcome to come & stay with us again.
Warm regards
Lucy, Mike, Xinga, Rangi & Roger Whalley"

"I would recommend Jill and Gavin as house sitters without hesitation.
Right from the start, when I first contacted Jill, she was highly professional and really listened to what our needs were, especially with regards to the animals. After an initial meeting and thorough discussion of routines etc, I felt safe leaving my pets and house in their hands. Jill kept me updated with regular emails.
On our return the house was spotless and, most importantly, the animals were obviously content, peaceful and extremely well cared for.
I just hope they will be available next holiday! We really hit the jackpot here!

"Jill & Gavin looked after our two miniature Australian Bulldogs over the Christmas and New Year period 2012/2013 whilst we spent time with family in New Zealand.
I was very nervous using house/dog sitters as we had always used friends to look after our dogs but being the holiday period it was difficult to call on friends. We had a huge amount of responses from the ads we posted but Jill and Gavin caught our eye because of their professionalism and great recommendations.
When we contacted Jill and Gavin they were more than happy to meet with us prior which was great as it reassured me we chose the right people and it was also good for our dogs to get to know them. Jill and Gavin also had a questionnaire on a variety of things e.g. dogs personalities, vets, local area etc… which again made me feel reassured that they knew what they were doing and had lots of experience.
We live in a apartment in the City so our dogs need a lot of attention and walking/toileting and for Jill and Gavin this was not a problem at all. Whilst holidaying we did not worry about our dogs at all, we got updates on all of their walking adventures and enjoyed our time with family knowing our dogs were well looked after and happy.
We would not hesitate in recommending Jill and Gavin to anyone wanting a house/dog sitter. We were extremely comfortable having them in our home and our dogs loved them!

"I was stressed about leaving Max and Cooper at home while we went away on holidays, until I met Jill and Gavin.
They are one of the most relaxed and easy-going couples I have met. In the short time I spent with them before I left, I was considerably less stressed about going away. The boys took to them immediately and were very relaxed around them.
Jill responded to all my worried emails quickly, and reassured me a great deal. Max and Cooper looked very happy and well looked after when we returned home. They clearly missed Jill and Gavin and waited by the front door for them to return after they had left. Our house was well looked after and spotlessly clean as well.
I would highly recommend them and hope Jill and Gavin are available next time we plan to go away. Jill and Gavin, you are so appreciated.

We knew as soon as we met them that they were responsible and reliable, and we felt comfortable leaving our dogs and cat in their care. Our neighbours all commented later how good they were with the dogs, even taking them for walks in the rain.
Our pets got so attached to them during the three week house sit that they all slept in Jill and Gavin’s bedroom, even on the night we came home!
We will definitely keep in touch with them and would highly recommend them to anyone – you won’t find better! ☺

"To Anyone Considering a House Sitter
Jill and Gavin house sat for us for 5 weeks in September and October 2012.
Their professional website, the references, and the subsequent phone calls to various people for whom they had previously house sat, all helped give us the confidence and courage to do something we had never done before – have strangers house sit for us.
One thing that impressed us was the comprehensive list of questions they sent us before hand. It made it so much easier when they arrived as we felt they already knew all about our dog and what his needs were, as well as having a good knowledge of our requirements, our home, and the area in which we live. We were and still are very happy with that decision. We felt very comfortable knowing that they were going to be living in our home and caring for our old dog, Robin.
It was such a good feeling to go on holiday being happy leaving our home and dog in their care. They took Robin to the vet for his monthly injection. Gavin took the best photo of Robin that we have ever seen. It was most pleasing when a friend who lives across the canal from us visited and mentioned that she had observed the frequent interaction between Robin and them.
Jill and Gavin respected our home. They maintained it very well. We arrived home to a clean house, and the laundry all washed and the lawns mown. Gavin had carried out repairs on our irrigation system, which had developed a leak.
Would we ask Jill and Gavin to house sit again? Next time we won’t have to go through the angst of trying to decide what to do. We will simply contact Jill and Gavin and hope that their travels will allow them to come back to Bribie Island and live in our home again.
We would welcome any enquiry from people considering asking Jill and Gavin to house sit.

"Hi to all you adventurer’s, holiday folk and general gadabouts,
Over the past few years we have used some wonderful people to babysit our home while we have been doing some of the above. Enter Gavin and Jill house sitters, very professional with their approach, and very thorough with their communication.
One of the many questions they ask prior to taking over your home for safe keeping is, “do you want us to open any mail that looks like it may need to be checked” luckily we said yes to this question. As while we were overseas for around 4 months a letter from Telstra came in, Gavin and/or Jill opened this to find that while we were OS we had clocked up around $1,000 in data down load on our very new I/phone, they quickly emailed us informing us of this and we then turned off our phone. In the end we did still get a bill for $3,500 which I might add Telstra reduced to $200, lovely Telstra.
Presently we are on a 6 month van trip around OZ and have absolutely no concerns with leaving our home in their safe and professional hands. Many people do not realise that some insurances are voided if your home is left abandoned for more than a policy stipulated time, it is well worth having someone, capable with pets, gardens and general home care as are Gavin and Jill.

It was wonderful to be able to go away, knowing that our home and pets would be secure and well cared for. We were extremely satisfied with the service Jill & Gavin provided looking after our home and pets.
We arrived back to a clean home, mowed lawn and calm relaxed dog, who was obviously happy and relaxed in the company of Jill & Gavin.

It is with pleasure my husband and I recommend Jill and Gavin as house and dog sitters.
They made us feel completely at ease leaving our house, dog and chocks for 4 weeks. When we returned we could tell by the way Buddy (our lab cross cattle dog) behaved and looked that he had been well looked after. Then there were all the funny and cute photos as a testament of how great a time he had as well. We still can’t believe they gave him a bubble bath in the bathtub and that he looked happy about it.
The house looked just as tidy and clean as when we left it, and they even left some cleaning products behind that we had forgotten to stock up on. Whilst we were away we had contact with Jill and Gavin mostly via sms that way we could relax the whole time knowing that Buddy was safe and loved and our house still standing.
You will make a wise choice if you decide to let Gavin and Jill house sit for you.

"After leaving our animals in boarding kennels previously and coming home to stressed out pets we knew that housesitters were the way to go if we wanted to go away and have an enjoyable holiday.
As soon as I had spoken with Jill and Gavin I knew that they were the right people to come and housesit for us and mind our beloved pets. We met the evening before we left and they became acquainted with our pets who immediately took to them like duck to water.
Leaving the following day was so much easier knowing that our pets were happy in their own environment and were going to be cared for by loving people who also shared our love for animals. Half way through our holiday I even received a SMS confirming that everything was going well at home which was so thoughtful.
Bronte was walked every day and played with. She now even goes and bring toys from her toy box outside that she never really played with before. Obviously Jill and Gavin encouraged her to play with these toys! Gavin even had swims in the pool with Bronte which she loves doing.
Upon our return we walked in to happy pets, clean home, emptied bins and mail collected.
I would not hesitate to recommend Jill and Gavin to housesit. I found them to be friendly, honest reliable people and look upon them now as our friends and look forward to them coming again and housesit for us in the future.

During this time Jillian and Gavin were responsible for keeping the house and garden in a good condition, watering pot plants, mowing lawns of 3 properties (ours and 2 neighbours), collecting and dating our mail and providing computer assistance to our elderly neighbours.
While away, Jillian kept us up to date via email. This was very reassuring to know everything was being attended to and any queries were solved.
They stepped in for us as a good neighbour and assisted an elderly neighbour, making new friends in the process even driving and dining out with them on a couple of evenings.
We arrived home to a safe, secure house and very happy neighbours who were able to continue to use their computer knowing there was help nearby should it be needed.
I consider Jillian and Gavin to be very honest, friendly, caring, neat and clean and a very responsible couple. I am always happy to give a verbal reference if required.
Please contact me on the above phone number. I would not hesitate to have Jillian and Gavin as my house-sitters again. I wish them well in their future endeavours.
Sincerely
LYN NIXON"

"To Whom It May Concern:
My wife and I travel 2-3 times a year and we have three dogs of varying ages with varying needs. Like most people with pets, we worried about their wellbeing in our absence and didn’t want to put them into a kennel or compound.
I was thrilled to meet Jill and Gavin who are pet people.
They did a wonderful job caring for our pets and our house in our recent 4 week trip overseas. They embraced our pets like they were their own and gave them the love and affection that we would normally give to them. I have no hesitation in recommending Jill and Gavin to others who are considering doing the same thing.
You can obtain my number from Jill and Gavin should you wish to speak with me directly.
Regards,
Paul"

We would thoroughly recommend Jill and Gavin as housesitters. They looked after our house and more importantly our 11 month Irish Setter very competently for the fortnight we were overseas.
It was so nice to be on holiday knowing that we did not have to worry, and very nice to return to a clean house and a happy dog.
Several people in the neighbourhood who met Jill and Gavin out walking commented on how lucky we were and that everything worked out so well.

House & Pet Sitting Testimonial Clifton Beach, QLD Australia
"To whom it may concern,
It was a pleasure to have Jill and Gavin house sit for me in Clifton beach Cairns for 3 weeks.
It was necessary for me to take my 2 children to Melbourne in December 2011 to visit friends and relatives over Christmas. I was reluctant to leave our cat for 3 weeks alone and the catteries are often booked out and expensive at this time of year.
During their stay Jill and Gavin were responsible for the daily feeding and care of our cat, collection of the mail which needed to be done soon after it was delivered to avoid it getting wet during the wet season, putting out and bringing in bins, and paying the pool man. Jill and Gavin arrived before we left and I had not put together a list of instructions so they asked relevant questions about things that I hadn’t thought of to make sure they would be able to carry out the task of house sitting to the best of their ability.
While we were away Jill was happy to respond to all my text messages and phone calls enquiring about the wellbeing of the cat and important documents I was expecting in the mail. Upon returning I found the house to be in an extremely neat and tidy condition and Jill and Gavin had washed all their towels and bedding. Our cat was happy and well and it was like we had never left.
I would not hesitate in recommending Jill and Gavin to anyone else who is considering having house sitters to look after their house and pet while they go away. Please feel free to contact me should you have any other queries.
Regards,
Lauren Cummings"

"To Whom It May Concern:
Jill and Gavin were house-sitters for us for a week and also had the responsibility of looking after our dog and 2 cats.
During this time they made the effort to get to know the personalities of the animals and gave them not only care but companionship and reassurance while we were away. Often our animals are distressed when we are away but this is the first time we have come back and found them so happy and settled.
Jill and Gavin were also happy to follow our somewhat complicated dietary needs and routines for the animals. They also looked after our vegetable garden, mail and security of the home. They left the house spotless and were friendly and easy to get along with. They were also flexible when at the last minute we asked to extend the house-sit for an extra night.
I would highly recommend Jill and Gavin for any house and/or pet-sitting you may require and am happy for you to contact us for any further information.
Sincerely,
Scott & Jenny Huntington"

Gavin and Jill have been housesitting for us from the 15th of January 2015 to 4th February 2015.
They fulfilled our requirements such as keeping us updated on the property and our two dogs, playing with the dogs etc. They kept the house clean and tidy. They got some balls for our dogs, which weren't requested, we were really pleased with that. Unfortunately we had an incident with one of our dogs but they managed to keep the situation under control.
We are very happy with this responsible and lovely couple. We would recommend them to anyone who requires their services.
Thank you.

"Jill and her son Chris house and pet sat for me while I went to Scotland with my family for a week in May.
This was the first time that I had invited someone to look after my dog so I was 'testing the waters' so to speak, as to whether this was a better option than using a boarding kennel. I really didn't want to put Lu Lu my dog in a kennel as she is only a young puppy, 6 months old, and a bit excitable and nervous, so she needed some tender loving care. Well she certainly received that, as Chris and Jill played with her every day and spoilt her rotten!
I think there was quite a strong bond by the end of the week on both sides. Jill also looked after the house and kept it clean and tidy and watered all of my plants both inside and out during the drier periods.
Jill is obviously a seasoned house/pet sitter, especially in her home country of Australia and I am sure she will do a great job for you if you decided to take her on.

"Dear Jillian and Gavin,
Thank you so much for looking after our home and animals while we were overseas for a month. The alpacas and chickens were content and the dogs were not at all stressed due to our absence. Besides looking after the animals you took care of the house and garden.
The house was neat and tidy and the garden was well looked after. Please let us know if you wish to return another year.

I wish to recommend Jill for Housesitting. She recently looked after my unit and dog for two weeks. She did an excellent job. The house was immaculate on my return and Crash – dog – content. I live on the first floor with no yard, therefore Jill had to walk Crash several times a day. This was not a problem for her.
I would not hesitate to ask her to housesit again and will recommend her to my friends.

"Dear Jill & Gavin,
Thanks for your assistance in caring for my dogs over my 2 month absence. Although your telephone message that I received on return to Singapore was concerning it was great to be able to discuss Aramis’ s veterinary concerns and to know he would be seeing my normal vet.
I appreciate Gavin and your help in looking after my house and for ensuring it was handed back in the same state I gave it to you also. It made my holiday so much better knowing that someone was looking after my interests back in Australia.
Thanks very much,
