Retired and Roaming

54, Australian Defence

53, Personal Care Attendant

We are both non-smokers, tidy and dependable. We have been house sitting in Australia over the last 12 months and hope to do the same while traveling through The UK May-No 2024. We wish to experience places as locals do, not as tourists.
Married 30 years, Katherine worked in Aged Care and enjoys reading, crafts, and going on walks; Matt has 36 years in the Australian Army, volunteers as a St John Ambulance First Responder, and likes to paddle board and bush walk when he can.
We both have country backgrounds, experienced with livestock, and a variety of family pets.


Airbnb Reviews -
"Katherine, Mathew and family were a delight to host. Quiet and respectful, I hardly knew they were upstairs. Left the place very clean and tidy and even stripped the beds and folded the covers. Would definitely recommend to other hosts."
Sandra - December 2022

"Katherine and her husband were perfect guests, thankful to make it for their weekend away for nephew's wedding despite flooding in their hometown in Vic and flight delays. Pleasure to welcome them too."
Helen - October 2022

"Katherine's family was an excellent guest. They took care of the flat and were easy to communicate. I would highly recommend them to any host."

Matt and Kath are the perfect house sitters. Very friendly and easy to get on with. My cows (and the 2 new calves) the ducks and the cat were looked after so well, They are very resourceful and are happy and ready to take on anything that might occur if anything out of the ordinary happened. Fortunately nothing did! They left the house very clean and tidy, and I would recommend them to anyone who needs a sitter.

PHILIP (bn132hn , May 2024 - 3 weeks)
Kath and Matt cared for our farm so we could get away to see family for 10 days before Christmas. We were so grateful. From the first meet and greet they presented as confident and competent. We have 12 horses 4 dogs 2 cats, a breeding herd of cows, 2 bulls, chooks and a goose. All were safe healthy and well fed on our return. They stayed in touch via texts so we knew what was what and the house was immaculately clean on our return. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable ... MORE
 
HEATHER (Hilldene VIC, Nov 2023 - 1 week 4 nights) From Aussie House Sitters
Kath and Matt were ideal house-sitters. They were friendly, responsible, agreeable and most importantly very capable. In addition to the house, they looked after our cat, extensive flock of chickens, very large garden and orchard, as well as kept an eye on our property beyond the farm paddock, including cattle. We highly recommend them to all house and small property owners, and wish them all the best in their future travels.
 
PETER (Seymour VIC, Nov 2023 - 3 weeks) From Aussie House Sitters
Matt and Katherine were the perfect house sitters, They were very easy to get along with, cared for our cats well, and our house was in perfect clean condition when we returned. They were kind enough to send us photos of the girls and were flexible when our plans changed on a few occasions. We could not recommend them enough, Thankyou!
