Who leave your place nicer and cleaner than they found it, so that you discover thoughtful touches even days after your return?
Would you like to have your garden meticulously cared for and your pets loved so they're healthy and happy to see you when you get back? Who send you photos of your pets to coo over?
Would you like to be confident that your minders know when to contact you for instructions (rarely) and when to leave you to enjoy your long holiday? Would you like to come home to a delicious meal so you can unwind without having to worry about cooking dinner?
If so, look no further than Noela and Paul. They are the real deal. We would have them back in a heartbeat.

I can not rate Noela and Paul any higher, they were beyond amazing, the absolute best house sitters you will ever find. Our pets have actually never been looked after so well (not even by us). Happy, healthy dogs and cat with extra food made for them. I'm sure our house was cleaner than when I left. Not to mention the extras that were left when we got home, milk, fruit, chocolates, yogurt, and the most amazing dinner I've ever eaten at home, chef quality! All of our plants, the garden, pool ...

Not to mention the extras that were left when we got home, milk, fruit, chocolates, yogurt, and the most amazing dinner I've ever eaten at home, chef quality! All of our plants, the garden, pool perfectly looked after. Plus a beautiful new indoor plant as additional gift from these exceptional house sitters.
I honestly can not thank them enough and would 100% recommend them. I would have them back in a heartbeat if they would be happy to come back.

Noela and Paul were the greatest housesitters. They went above and beyond looking after our soxy and our chickens, and home and garden.
We were even welcomed home with a delicious meal and a food hamper for the following day. yes also a gorgeous flowering plant fo

Nola and Paul have raised the bar on fabulous house sitters! They were very good communicators and attentive to details on the hand over.
More than that, they gave our 2 dogs an energetic and enriched house sit.
On our return we were spoilt with the essentials in the fridge, a delicious meal prepare (including sweets), a fresh fruit hamper and a bowl of yummy Easter eggs. The house was immaculately clean and the roses deadheaded and the vegetable patch again under control.

Noela and Paul house sat for us for two weeks. Their attention to detail, communications and care for our animals, property and home were exceptional. We were also thrilled to receive a home cooked meal on our return, after a long drive. We have no hesitation to recommend Noela and Paul as prospective house sitters and hope they might be able to fit us into their busy schedule again in the future.
DAVID (Millbrook VIC, Mar 2021 - 1 week 5 days)
From Aussie House Sitters
Noela and Paul were excellent housesitters. They kept in touch regularly while we were away, updating us on whatever was happening on the property. Cows, sheep, ducks, chooks, vegie patch and seedlings were all well looked after, and Paul did a few 'handyman' jobs for us as well. The house was spotless when we got back and there were flowers in the vase, and some goodies, as well as a lovely curry for our evening meal.
We have no hesitation in recommending them.

Noela and Paul cared for our 20 acre property . They were required to shift and check stock ( 50 sheep and a few calves ) and care for chickens ducks and a cat. From first contact we were impressed .

I cannot recommend these sitters enough. Pets (dog, cat, tropical fish, guinea pig) were really well cared for and content (dog got two walks a day :-)). House was spotless (cleaner than we left it!). We got messages and pictures with updates throughout the sit. When we arrived home from holiday we found flowers in all the downstairs rooms and a pack of food for a plush breakfast. So awesome!

This was our first time having house sitters. It couldn't have gone smother. We got home to very happy animals and the house looked like cleaners had been in. We couldn't recommend Paul and Noela highly enough and hope to be able to use them again.

We feel very lucky to have had them here, and would not hesitate to book them again. Consider yourselves lucky if you get them as your house sitters!
ELEANOR (Frome England, Aug 2019 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Noela and Paul came to meet us before the sit, and to go for a walk with Bramble. They gave us great confidence & allowed us to go away feeling happy that our pets would be safe and well cared for.
We had regular updates with photos and came home to a clean and tidy house. They also left us flowers, fruit, and a curry, which was delicious.
Noela and Paul are genuine and lovely people, and we feel honoured to have had them sit for us.
I highly recommend them to others.

Can thoroughly recommend Noela and Paul...you can go away with total confidence.

I feel like we hit the 'jackpot' after meeting Noella and Paul! They are exceptionally caring and generous people, who are dedicated 100% to their house and pet sits. Our dogs sulked once they left. We came home to a beautifully clean house, even fresh flowers replaced and a homemade curry awaiting us, after a 24 hour journey home. Communication was perfect, and our pets were so well looked after.

Noela and Paul were great housesitters and looked after everything beautifully. Even came home to a cooked meal and Noela had very kindly planted some new vegies for us and left a treat for the kids. Animals were well taken care off. Would love to have them back anytime

Noela and Paul are the house sitters from heaven!
They are lovely people and communication was easy. Our cats and chickens were well cared for and relaxed. Our house was immaculate when we returned and they did heaps of extras off their own bat which was most appreciated. They are very experienced and we recommend them to anyone.

Noela and Paul house sat for us for month (Apr/May 18).
They are a nice couple who treat house sitting professionally and easily coped with our 'first time' worries. Our Border Collies bonded well and were sorry to see them go at the end of the sit. The chicken and garden both enjoyed the upgraded care in our absence, whilst the house was in immaculate condition.
They are welcome back anytime and we would thoroughly recommend them as Sitters..

Noella & Paul did a great job looking after our property and 'farmily' for approx. 5 days. Communication was good - we Skyped prior which was really helpful! They have a very good understanding of animals and common sense approach to everything. We appreciated that they were keen to stick to routines for the pets' sake and seemed to truly love animals. We would recommend them. Glad to have been part of their adventure!

Having strangers looking after your property and dearly loved animals was something we were quite nervous about, yet reading all the references that Noela and Paul had definitely made the decision easier. Yet of course we were still a bit nervous about it all. We needn't have worried. Noela and Paul are Gods in our book. They were absolutely amazing!

MOREHaving strangers looking after your property and dearly loved animals was something we were quite nervous about, yet reading all the references that Noela and Paul had definitely made the decision easier. Yet of course we were still a bit nervous about it all. We needn't have worried. Noela and Paul are Gods in our book. They were absolutely amazing! We'd never left the dogs, cats, chooks and horse for so long before. They sent us daily updates and photos. When we returned the dogs weren't even that pleased to see us (!) they were just like, oh your home. Usually when we go away even for a few hours it's mayhem when we return, like we've been gone for years. Our very neurotic fox terrier whom we were most concerned about totally attached himself to Noela and didn't even acknowledge us on our return. His whole existence revolved around Noela. Now this a 12yr old dog with serious trust issues so that says a great deal about Noela and Paul. They carried on the training of our 5-month-old German Shepherd puppy, he learned a few new things which was so cool to see on our return. And our 7yr old German Shepherd worshiped them both. The house was immaculatey clean, our veggie gardens replanted due to all the rain and lawns mown. We can't speak more highly of Noela and Paul. If we could kidnap them and have them forever we would. We totally recommend Noela and Paul!

Great communication before the sit, answered questions and provided details promptly which reassured us everything would be in good hands. Not phased by an untimely sick 'chick' who needed a lot of attention and was handled in a practical and caring manner. Happy to indulge our wild bird feeding regime and tended to the garden as if it were their own. Kept in touch whilst we were away so we knew everything was fine but not in an intrusive manner. Honestly think the house was cleaner when we got back than when we left, the lawn was cut and garden blooming, a lovely meal had been prepared for us after our journey home and we were left treats! As for the cat, well everyone falls for her and she was blissfully indifferent to our return, which is always a good thing for her, if a little ego deflating for us! Very luck to have booked them for a second sit later in the summer.

Noela and Paul did a three week housesit for us and took great care of all our pets and the house. We were able to completely relax away from home knowing that we had two very capable people in charge of things back home! Many thanks to them both and we have no hesitation in strongly recommending them as housesitters.

They also had left the whole place totally immaculate, had more than maintained the garden and had even fixed things that we hadn't got round to. Rosie was in great shape on our return, fit and healthy and had obviously bonded really well with them both.
