Who we are

High school sweethearts, reconnected — and five years on the road

We've spent the past five years living full-time in our caravan, caretaking homes and properties right across Australia. From suburban homes to working farms, we approach every sit the same way: with attention to detail, genuine care, and the steady, reliable communication that lets owners truly relax while they're away.

What we bring

Reliable care, from the animals to the inbox

Animals & rural property

Cows, chickens, horses, alpacas, dogs, cats and gardens — we've even helped run a flower farm. Daily routines and basic property upkeep come naturally, and very little is unfamiliar.

Guest-ready presentation

Owners consistently come home to an immaculate house — the same standard a property needs for turning over guest or Airbnb accommodation between stays.

Communication & duty of care

We've cared for homes while owners were overseas, with regular photos and video calls as standard. Mark's background is 20+ years leading remote teams; Sandy's is 20 years in aged care and nursing — so proactive, no-surprises updates and a genuine duty of care are second nature.

Trust & flexibility

We've adjusted our own plans to fit owners' changing travel, and many of the families we sit for book us back again and again — some now plan their holidays around our availability.

In owners' words

What it's like to hand us your keys

The house was cleaner than we left it — they even fixed the squeaky doors. Their communication was flawless throughout.

Jeremy & Andrea · McLaren Vale

They house-sat while we were overseas. Our animals were well cared for and we came home to a spotless house and a beautiful garden.

Viola · Sinnamon Park

Our home, gardens, dogs, cats and chickens were all happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Sandy & Mark.

Denni & Stephen · Adelaide Hills

They went above and beyond during their stay while we were overseas. We now talk about booking our holidays around their availability.
