We love animals, the outdoors, and travel.
We have been housesitting for over 7 years and absolutely love the lifestyle it offers us.
We are an Australian/Canadian couple looking forward to housesitting for you.
We will be back in the UK from
around mid May through mid July.
We will happily consider any request to housesit but it would need to be accessible by public transportation, preferably train.
Feel free to check us out on instagram @thriftydriftingofficial.
We are experienced and reliable and very easy going.
Thank you
Mark and Tony
Mark and Tony were the most fabulous housesitters, and delightful people. I cannot recommend them highly enough - the house was spotless when I got home, my garden lovingly nursed through record heat, and my cat clearly very well looked after. They also generously sorted a leak from my hot water tank that would not have been found if they hadn't been hoovering! I am already praying they will return next year!
Mark & Tony looked after our precious Fin, Kiri and our apartment while we were away for a wedding. There was lots of communication on the well being of the pets and everything was well looked after. Highly recommended and would be keen to use them again! muchly appreciated the housesit! thanks so much!!
Thankyou to Mark and Tony for taking care for my precious fur babies and feathered friends. Great communication and plenty of updates .. Perfect 😀
Tony and Mark looked after our 2 Labradors and house in Brisbane for 5 weeks. We couldn't ask for better house sitters! They were easy to communicate with, took care of the house and left it cleaner than when they first arrived, and most importantly took great care of the pups ensuring they had plenty of exercise, love and attention. We had no concerns and from the start knew everything would be well looked after. Thanks again Tony and Mark!!
Upon meeting Mark and Tony we felt comfortable that our home and animals were in great hands. They’re communication in the lead up to the sit was great and their kind and confident natures showed when we introduced them to the animals and showed them around the property. They kept us informed about the going on’s at home while we were away and we felt very at ease knowing things were being well taken care of. We returned home to happy, healthy animals and a beautiful clean house. Thank you so ... MORE
Mark and Tony are amazing sitters. Our dog looked happy and content after their short stay. We knew we can trust them from the moment we met them. They left the house clean and spotless. Also sent us an information once they arrived and let us know how our pets are doing. Hopefully they can come again.
Could not have wished for more caring guys, they kept me and my daughter up to date with with all the news. Place was spotless. Would definitely recommend them .and would use them again if the need arises and they are available.
Mark & Tony are lovely lads the pups were well looked after and enjoyed their time with them. The house was spotless on our return. Thank you guys so much for looking after our fur babies and the place
Thank you so much for looking after our house and Lexi and the trip advice too! I would without hesitation have Mark and Tony back again.
Mark and Tony are fantastic house sitters. Great communication from the outset, and they even came and visited us the day before the start of the sit to work everything out so we could leave for our trip without any stress or hurry. All the animals were very well cared for and we had regular messages and updates whilst we were away which was kind and reassuring. Mark and Tony left our house spotless - certainly cleaner than it was when we left! Can't recommend them highly enough - solid, ... MORE
Mark and Tony visited us a couple of days before we left to meet us and our pets which was a lovely touch to put our minds at rest, and meant that we could talk them through routines and any points to watch around the house. We threw them an accidental curveball when our vacuum cleaner packed up just before their visit was due to start but somehow when we got back, in spite of dogs constantly bringing in dirt from the garden, the house was spotless. Even weeks after they have left, I am still ... MORE
This was the first time we have had house sitters staying in our home and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. We were thrilled when Mark and Tony offered to do our sit as we could see from their reviews that they were a reliable and professional team, and so they proved. We had no qualms leaving our house, garden and pets in their care and could relax on our holiday knowing that all was in safe hands. Mark and Tony offered to send us updates on the pets every few days and we ... MORE
How lucky were we to have Tony and Mark housesit for us and care for our chihuahua and 2 cats. Came back to a spotless house - even the washing had been done. We had regular updates and photos while we were away.
You couldn’t ask for better housesitters than Mark and Tony.
Thoroughly recommend - an ace couple!
I would recommend anyone to trust the care of pets and home in the hands of Tony and Mark. They are extremely experienced house sitters and that comes through in their communication and hands on approach of pets' care. Having stayed in many different homes they know how to work appliances and deal with other home particulars. I've experienced them to be very self-sufficient and was impressed how pristine they left our home upon our return. A bulb in kitchen ceiling was even replaced as part of ... MORE
Mark and Tony are BRILLIANT! Just the right amount of communication beforehand, great houseguests (the house is spotless!) and happy pooch. Can't thank you enough
Tony and Mark are fantastic housesitters as well as great and fun communicators. Before, after and during their sit, I was blessed with fun little pet reports and photos and pics of the allotment garden produce. I was away at key harvest time, but they froze some of my produce for me and even harvested seeds for me to plant next year! Dogs and cat (and bantams) were all very happy and comfortable with them, and I'm convinced miss Tony and Mark now. I felt very lucky to have found/been found ... MORE
These guys are fantastac! They left our house sparkling clean and tidy and messaged us all through their stay to tell us our cat was happy and all was ok. Mark and Tony are relaxed and easy going and a joy to know. Quite simply, they are the best and a real treasure. Highly recommended.
Tony and Mark are the royalty of house sitters our 4 Dachshund's loved them they took great care of our garden and of our home going beyond the realm of being just house sitters they kept us up to date via texts and photos. I can't say enough good things about this dynamic pair.
Wow!!!
Why can we say this was our first time using a house sit and we are blow away by Mark and Tony who looked after our house and our dog Duey.
Communication was amazing.
Then came home to a clean spotless house and a happy dog!
These guys have been house sitting around the world and we was so lucky to have them do our sit for us.
Tony and Mark were fantastic at putting our mind at ease. This was our first time ever using Aussie House Sitters to find someone to look after our house plus furry and feathery friends, and look, it's going to be hard to get better sitters than these two. Communication was so excellent, our pets were loved and cared for, and I walked into an immaculate house when I got home. Hopefully our paths will be able to cross again. I can not recommend Tony and Mark high enough!
Mark and Tony sat for 5 months while we toured Aust. And we were kept up to date with all that was happening at home. The house and garden were very well looked after and we would have no trouble giving them references for any housesitting job.
Mark and Tony stepped in to look after our beagle Morris when we were let down at very short notice by other sitters. They were so kind to do this as they actually didn't need a house as their circumstances changed but they still carried out the sit and looked after Morris exceptionally well. When they popped back to the house Morris was so excited to see them. The house was spotless and communication was excellent with daily reports and photos. Thank you Mark and Tony can't recommend you ... MORE
WOW! WOW! WOW! These guys are beyond amazing! I can't recommend them enough. My home has never looked better... they pay incredible attention to detail. Super grateful that they looked after my place for 3 months and I wish them all the best for their future travels.
Tony and Mark were amazing. We came back to a very clean house, happy birds (especially Nacho the parrot) and even new veggies in the garden. THANK YOU BOTH. Have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to anyone. Janine and Rennie
Mark and Tony were excellent house sitters . We really enjoyed meeting them and would definitely have them back again. They took great care of our chooks and our dog, Hilly. They even weeded pathways and tidied up the verandahs. They kept us posted while we were away and the place looked great on our return.
We wish them all the best in their future and hope their plans work out the way they want.
Could not be more happy with our choice of Tony and Mark to care for our home and pets. The house was sparkling clean and our pets very happy. Ideal housesitters and we would definitely have them again. Thanks again guys! Xxx
I am so sorry to Mark and Tony for forgetting to post this review. They were truly AMAZING. I felt so comfortable with them looking after our home. The dogs were cared for exactly as we had asked and the house was in better condition than we left it.
Really wonderful sitters who left our place looking better than when we left. Our pets were very well looked after and the house was spotless! Would be very happy to have them stay again!
Mark & Tony were great, cannot speak highly enough of them. Their communication was great and kept us informed how everything was going and replied to our messages promptly. House was also so clean and tidy when we got home and our animals were so relaxed. They were fast asleep when we got home and looked like they hardly missed us. Would not hesitate to have Mark & Tony back, highly recommend.
Mark and Tony have been wonderful pet and house sitters, super flexible, had to change sit dates at the last minute, and they reorganised their plans, which was a huge relief. Dogs were walked every day and all their routines were well maintained, as were our birds. Tony was an excellent bird 'looker afterer', and Mark was the doggy expert, although these fellas worked together. The house was clean, leaves along the drive blown off, everything epic and span. I would have them back again in a ... MORE
What can I say about Mark and Tony that hasn't already been said. We where able to enjoy our time away even more knowing our little patch was in good hands. These gentlemen lived up to their reputation and we returned to a home that was in better shape than when we left, they beg to differ, but it's true. Thanks Mates, as we said, you are welcome anytime.
Stay good and enjoy,
Al and Lyd.
Mark & Tony were fantastic as our house sitters. They kept in touch regularly & sent us lots of lovely photos of our dog enjoying walks & playtime. Our home was spotless on our return and the garden was beautifully maintained, We have no hesitation in recommending Mark & Tony. They were awesome & we would be happy to use them again. Thank you.
Liz & Derek
Mark and Tony are fantastic house sitters. The dogs were happy on return, the house was spotless and the little touches put in place were just lovely. Communication with Tony and Mark was easy- either through email,text or phone. Highly recommend!
Well where do I start.. during my search for my first ever house sitter I was starting to feel as though I'd never find any one good enough to look after my house but most of all take care of my beloved dogs. Mark and Tony messaged me on Aussie housesitters and after reading through their amazing reviews I thought were they too good to be true??
After our first meeting I felt at ease and more relaxed that my pets were going to be well loved and cared for whilst I was over seas. They were ... MORE
Cannot fault these guys, they were unbelievable in all matters and would highly recommend them. We came home a month earlier but it was no problem. The house and garden were better than when we left and our cat Morris looked the best ever!!! Thank you so much Mark & Tony. Love you guys xx
These guys are amazing so friendly and looked after our home and pets above and beyond.
Will definitely use again
Mark and Tony were awesome!
The looked after our 2 beagles and our house for 2 weeks and did an amazing job.
We came home to 2 happy dogs and a very clean and tidy house, they even tidied up our garden and alfresco area.
Mark and Tony were fantastic sitters. Upon returning home everything was clean and green. I asked Tony and Mark to mind my 10 month old groodle and they did a fantastic job keeping her entertained and happy. I got regular updates of the dog. I would highly recommend Mark and Tony for any future house sitting job, they are trustworthy, tidy and reliable.
Mark and Tony sat for us for two weeks. We have two animals a cat and a sick German Shepard both our animals were well taken car of. We received updates and photos from the Boys to assure all they were both well a lovely touch... Our garden required daily watering again no problem .The house was clean and tidy on our return even had some milk left for us which was very kind and appreciated. Cheryl and I highly recommend and commend Tony and Mark we will use them again if they are available. We ... MORE
We went overseas for 4 weeks, we came home to two happy dogs, an immaculate house, a healthy garden and breakfast in the fridge, couldn't ask for anything more. Thanks again guys.
Mark and Tony came to look after our house and dogs for a week and we just returned yesterday. This was the first time we had someone looking after the house and dogs so at first i was quite hesitant to even go on holidays. I am so glad we did! my partner and i went to QLD to visit family and whilst we were gone we received constant updates about the dogs and how they were going and photos of them which i loved. When we returned the house was absolutely spotless which was just great when you ... MORE
Mark and Tony went above and beyond our expectations looking after our two dogs, two cats and our home for 4 weeks. The animals were so happy and relaxed when we came home and the yard and garden looked 200% better than when we left. They kept us up to date through email and text message which was reassuring and greatly appreciated while we were traveling.
The house was immaculate and we even had home cooked meals to come home to which was a delicious and an unexpected but welcoming ... MORE
Wow, from our first point of contact with Mark and Tony we knew we had the best housesitters.
They were warm and friendly and totally reliable.
Even our neighbour who needed some assistance whilst we were away said, "you could not have got better housesitters, they were just great people".
We received regular updates and photos of our horses, dog and bird and they certainly looked content on our return.
My old mare is hard fed and they even bought more feed for her as we away a few days ... MORE
