Liana and Matthew

38, Teacher and Temple Spa consultant

33, Guitar tutor and Pastoral worker in education role in SEMH school

Hello,

We are a couple from the UK who are currently renting a property in Wakefield, West Yorkshire following a year travelling around Australia in 2017/18 where our house sitting journey began.

We love the opportunies that house sits offer for us whilst working full time in education settings. Therefore, term time is not always an option for us unless you are situated close to Wakefield or Leeds, so half terms and the summer are usually our preferred time to travel.

We both adore animals and have grown up in households where pets are at the forefront of day to day life. Between us we have vast experience of caring for a range of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens amongst many others. Matthew previously owned a dog who required two insulin injections a day so really understands the importance of routine. A friend of mine is a vet in the UK and I often call on her for advice.

We have carried out a range of short term and long term house sits since returning to the UK, so please take the time to view our endorsements.

We love how house sitting provides house owners with peace of mind and in exchange we also get to experience a new part of the world and build great friendships. We remain in contact with many house owners and have been known to return a number of times.

We are both organised, respectful and understand the importance of cleaning routines when looking after animals and we would expect to leave a house as we find it. We are keen to ensure that your pet is happy, healthy and given lots of attention. We are also intuitive when it comes to noticing signs of illness and would update you on this immediately.

Both of us would really love the opportunity to see life from as many perspectives as possible and are hoping to experience life throughout different regions in the UK.

We would really appreciate clear guidelines to follow to ensure that you can enjoy your stay with the assurance that your pets and home are being looked after with care.

Thanks for taking the time to read our profile and we hope to hear from you,

Liana and Matthew

Liana and Matthew were exceptional sitters. The house was immaculate on our return, our dog very well cared for, and communication was excellent throughout. We would happily welcome them back again. Highly recommended.
 
LAURA (London England, Mar 2024 - 2 nights)
Thanks so much for the amazing review. We hope to be able to make it back in the future.
Liana and Matt are the Mary Poppins of sitters: practically perfect in every way! Friendly, efficient and conscientious. Communication was excellent from first contact onwards, and Liana paid attention to every detail, asking questions whenever necessary to ensure everything was right for Vito. I knew he was having a wonderful Christmas, and to cap it all, I came home to a clean and tidy house.
 
VICKI (Colchester England, Dec 2023 - 5 nights)
It was wonderful to have Liana and Matt house sit for us again. They have done do for us multiple times before and they always look after our cat brilliantly and leave the house looking amazing. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a house sitter!!
 
JUDE (London England, Feb 2023 - 5 days - 1 of 4 endorsements from this owner )
Thanks so much, always a pleasure.
Liana and Matthew are a lovely couple, they came to Look after Bertie and Bella for 2 days, I would highly recommend them to care for your pets garden and house, I arrived home to a very nice tidy house and two lovely cats one of which sat by the door waiting for Liana and Matthew to come back too, he did snub me for a day, they were very well cared for, I found those two clumps on his leg Liana and I've cut them off so he's all nice and lug free now :-D my plants were also looked after, thank ...

PATRICIA (Retford England, Aug 2022 - 2 days)
Thanks so much for such a lovely review Trish, absolute pleasure to meet you : ) Awww, hope to see you all again in the future. All the best and lots of cuddles being sent to the cats : )
How lovely it was to meet Liana and Matthew and have them sit for us. They were so attentive to everything and looked after everything perfectly. Our cats were truly spoilt and the garden was cared for as requested. We received lots of lovely messages while we were away so we were assured everything was in safe hands. We would highly recommend this lovely couple and we hope to have them back to sit for us again. Perfect! Just what we wanted from a sit!
 
HELEN (Storth England, Jul 2022 - 1 week 1 day)
Thank you so much, we really appreciate such a wonderful review.
Thanks again to Liana and Matt for looking after our cats and our house. These guys are wonderful and have sat for us before and I would love to use them again.
 
JUDE (London England, Apr 2022 - 4 days - 2 of 4 endorsements from this owner )
Thanks again for the kind review Jude.
It was an absolute pleasure to have Liana and Matt in our home. As we were unable to meet beforehand we had a zoom call and we felt confident at them coming into our place even though we hadn't met them. Communication was great - with lots of photos and messages on how our cats were getting on. The house was left in a wonderful clean state and even a bonus of a little welcome home gift. Our cats seemed very content and our home was looked after beautifully. We would definitely recommend ... MORE
 
VANESSA (London England, Dec 2021 - 6 days)
Thanks so much for your kind review. We really appreciate it and loved our stay.
We were lucky enough for Liana and Matthew to come and look after our cats again over this summer for a week. They are fantastic housesitters and looked after our cats, giving them all the cuddles they need. They looked after the house for us and it was spotless as ever when we got back. These guys are great and I can't recommend them highly enough. I certainly hope they don't get too bored of coming here as I'd have them stay everytime we go away. Let's hope London keeps them interested enough ... MORE
 
JUDE (London England, Aug 2021 - 1 week 1 day - 3 of 4 endorsements from this owner )
I don't think we would ever get bored of London and certainly not of the cats. Ha! Thank you so much again for a fantastic review. All the best to you and keep in touch, Liana and Matt : )
Liana and Matthew are a lovely friendly couple who did our first house and pet sit . Liana communicated frequently to reassure us and explain that despite their change in circumstances (Matthew had an injury ) they were still fully committed to undertake the sitting. They were understanding of Leo's shyness and made efforts to build rapport and help him feel relaxed around them. They kept us updated throughout the time we were away. When we returned the house was cleaned and tidy. We would ... MORE
 
RICHA (Preston England, Jun 2021 - 3 days)
Thank you so much Richa. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to any future opportunities to care for Leo again. All the best, Liana and Matthew
Liana and Matthew are the perfect house sitters. They looked after our two little cat and home perfectly, sending us beautiful photos of our cats and keeping us updated over our trip. When we returned home the house was lovely and clean and they had left some treats for our cats and a bottle of wine for us!! Well needed after a long trip. Can't recommend them more highly and I certainly hope to have them come and house sit for us again in the future.
 
JUDE (London England, Aug 2020 - 6 days - 4 of 4 endorsements from this owner )
Liana and Mathew were fantastic! They were friendly, pet confident and full of common sense! We had great updates on our cat and I knew absolutely that he was being not only pampered but really well cared for. You could not choose a better couple to look after your house and pet. Came home to a perfect house and if they could sit for us again I wouldn't hesitate in asking them to sit. It was a pleasure to meet Liana and Mathew.
 
CHRISTINE (Ipswich England, Dec 2019 - 5 days)
Thank you so much for our review - we absolutely loved Gerry the cat : ) All the best.
Liana and Matthew were perfect house sitters for my needy little cat Misha! They were kind enough to visit the house before the sit to meet me and Misha and get to know us a little bit. Liana & Matthew looked after Misha impeccably - including the administration of daily medicine to treat an infection that Misha was recovering from. They provided Misha with lots of care, attention, and affection - as I said, she's quite a needy little cat. Liana sent me reassuring updates throughout the sit, ... MORE
 
JON (Brighouse England, Nov 2019 - 4 weeks)
Thank you for such an amazing review Jon - it is much appreciated from us both. We really hope we are available too! : )
Liana and Matt were the perfect house sitters. They looked after our two terriers perfectly and we returned to 2 chilled out happy dogs and a lovely clean flat. Our dogs are not the easiest as they are high energy and attitude! Can't rate highly enough, they are a lovely couple.
 
KLARE (Glasgow Scotland, Oct 2019 - 4 days)
That's very kind of you. We really enjoyed our time in Glasgow so thanks so much. If you ever need anyone again, please let us know : )
From the beginning of our contact Liana was a delight to deal with - clearly a very experienced house sitter and with a brilliant rapport with the cats. She sent lots of updates and photos during my absence and left the house immaculate!!! I felt Liana was totally trust worthy and reliable and I enjoyed meeting with her. Very grateful to be able to go away and feel totally relaxed about my cats and everything. Thanks once again, Liana.
 
ALEXANDRA (PUDSEY England, Oct 2019 - 1 week 5 days)
Thanks so much for such a fantastic review. It was a real pleasure. All the best to you and big cuddles to the cats.
Liana was a really excellent sitter, she was so thoughtful and caring to our ageing cat Ginger. We felt both Ginger and our house were in very safe and capable hands. Linana gave us regular reports which we found very reassuring. Hopefully she would like to sit for us again sometime in the future. She will be most welcome.
 
SALLY (Wimborne England, Aug 2019 - 3 days)
Thank you so much for the lovely review - it was a pleasure. All the best to you both, Liana
Liana and Matthew came to cat and housesit for us for a week in August 2019. We exchanged emails and information and we felt very comfortable that we would be happy to have them in our home. They are a lovely couple who work full time during school terms and use their holidays to travel the country, seeing as much of it as they can. They are friendly, easy company, with lots of positivity and enthusiasm. They've completed a number of housesits and know exactly what is needed. Liana was on ... MORE
 
MARION (Horndean, Waterlooville England, Aug 2019 - 1 week 1 day)
Thank you so much for the lovely review - it also made me smile lots about Spike's sleekness! : ) All the best, Liana and Matthew : )
Liana is an excellent house sitter. This was our first time using the site so we were a bit nervous but Liana made the whole process very easy. She updated us loads about Maddy and left the house clean and tidy. Also, Maddy (our normally very shy cat) loved Liana! :)
 
KATIE (Cambridge CB1 England, May 2019 - 3 days)
Liana and Matt are a lovely couple and are excellent housesitters. They looked after our two cats extremely well and it was so nice to come home to happy relaxed pets and an immaculate house. Their care of our home was of an exceptionally high standard and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.
 
LOU (WOOLER England, Apr 2019 - 5 days)
Thank you so much for a wonderful review. It was an absolute pleasure to house sit in such a fantastic house with two beautiful cats. We really hope we can make a return soon : )
No rating I was so happy that I found Liana and Matthew. Although, I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Matthew due to work commitments, Liana visited me before we went away so my dog Toby could get used to her and so her and Matthew knew the instructions for pet care/plant care etc They sent me messages and pics each of the 4 days I was away and I was so happy to see how much my cat and dog had bonded with them! I came home to a lovely clean house too...five star sitters
KELLY (Huddersfield England, Jul 2018 - 1 week)
No rating Liana and Matthew were wonderful house sitters - they looked after the house as if it was their own. They were in regular contact while I was away and kept meet up to date with things at home, so I could enjoy my travels knowing they had everything in order. The house was spotlessly clean and tidy when I returned, they they always paid bills promptly, and they forwarded on any personal mail that I needed to deal with. Liana and Matthew fitted in well into local life - the neighbours all told ... MORE
JOANNA (Pudsey England, Mar 2018 - 4 months)
Liana and Matt were fantastic. They took great care of Jax whilst we were away. He obviously enjoyed their company. The house was clean and tidy on our arrival home. I had regular updates from them about Jax. We would definitely have them back.
 
GEMMA (Dianella WA, Jan 2018 - 1 week 2 days) From Aussie House Sitters
No rating Liana and Matthew did a great job as housesitters over the Christmas break. Our chickens got spoilt with all sorts of goodies (which they absolutely loved) and despite having to endure some very hot days over summer, our garden was well watered and in great condition. They were very easy to communicate with and kept us updated frequently. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, friendly, clean and well organised housesitters!
GRIET (South Melbourne VIC, Dec 2017 - 1 week 5 days) From Aussie House Sitters
Liana and Matthew were fabulous Housesitters. They looked after our house and plants and left the place spotless. We appreciated them keeping in touch while we were away. On our return they took us out for dinner which was really appreciated. We would have them back in an instant and hope to stay in touch.
 
FRED AND SUE (South Golden Beach NSW, May 2017) From Aussie House Sitters
Liana and Matt were amazing. Everything I was hoping for when looking after my cat Lina. They are a mature couple who spent lots of time playing with my Lina and regularly keeping me updated. It was my cats 1st bday when I was gone and they went out of their way to buy her treats and toys for her birthday. I would highly recommend Liana and Matt and they're free anytime at ours!
