Semi-retired Aussies back in the UK

61, semi-retired chef

65, semi-retired IT and library worker

We are Andy & Liz, a mature semi-retired couple from Australia who have come back to the UK after more than 20 years away. Previously we have lived in Cheshire, Bournemouth and Dartmouth and have spent some time in London, all of which we loved. Now we are exploring the UK again.

Andy is a chef and Liz worked in IT for many years, as well as at the State library and archives in Tasmania. We are non-smokers and vegetarian. We love travelling, walking, gardening, cooking good food and drinking good wine. We have our own transport, clean drivers’ licenses and no dependent children, so we aren’t tied to an area. We are reliable, trustworthy, clean and tidy.

In Australia we spent our time buying and renovating several homes so we know how to look after a house and garden. We are also animal-lovers and know how to look after dogs, cats, chickens and fish (rabbits and hamsters wouldn’t be a problem either). We would love to come and look after your home while you relax and enjoy your time away.

Thank you for considering us and we look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Andy & Liz

We were really happy to have Andy and Liz sitting for us, they did a great job whilst they were here and Oonagh was very chilled and happy when we returned so we know she was happy too! They were very capable and looked after the house, leaving everything very clean and tidy. They chatted to visitors in our adjacent holiday cottage, they collected apples and took them to be pressed, they met our family and neighbours, everyone saying how friendly they were. Nothing was too much trouble. We ... MORE

Very good and easy communication and our house was left very clean and tidy. Very flexible and adapted easily around our travel plans. Thanks as well for the updates and for sending photo’s through, Rua seems to have had a lovely time, We would definitely use again.
 
JAMES (Cheltenham England, Sep 2024 - 3 nights)
It was a great pleasure to met Andy and Liz who housesat for about two weeks in September. They are some of the very best housesitters that we have ever had - and we have been doing this for many years. The dogs were clearly happy and relaxed with Andy and and Liz and they welcomed us home with a lovely lunch of home-made bread and soup and bowls of flowers. The house was almost certainly cleaner and tidier than when we left it and we would love to welcome them back here again in the future ... MORE
 
ANTHONY & JULES (Wiltshire England, Sep 2024 - 1 week 6 nights)
These two are the most beautiful people. They are so warm and genuine that it made leaving our pets and home easy. Nothing was an issue and they managed any problems they had with great communication. They animals were spoilt rotten and are definitely missing them. The home made soup was delicious after a long drive home.
 
TANYA (Oxted , Aug 2024 - 6 nights)
What wonderful house sitters Andy and Liz are ! They left our house absolutely spotless and gave us regular updates about our cat and how she was getting on. They also left us some gifts and some lovely homemade soup on our return, what a wonderful welcome home ! This was our first time using housesitters and we feel very privileged to have had such a great first experience with Andy and Liz and would n’t hesitate to use them again in the future.

Where do we start? As soon as communication started with Andy and Liz , I knew rhey were "the ones". Such a wonderful couple. Our cats still miss them dreadfully. Caring and kind. A remarkable couple, who seem to turn their hands to anything. If we are lucky enough to manage to get them back for another sit, it will be like winning the lottery. Thank you both for being so, so marvellous.
 
KATE (Harrogate England, Jul 2024 - 4 weeks)
Another excellent house-sit for me by Liz and Andy, this time for a month. I have complete confidence in their skills and level of care over the cat, the house and the garden. Great stuff and thanks.

If Andy and Liz offer to sit for you, accept at once! As with Geoff and Marie who sat for us last year, this is another truly lovely couple who left the house spotless and kindly fed us on our return. The animals are missing them!
 
ANGELA (Eckington, near Sheffield England, May 2024 - 2 weeks)
Andy and Liz were terrific house sitters. Communication was great and we were totally confident our pets were being well cared for. They left the house cleaner than it was when we went away (many thanks!). We thoroughly recommend them to anyone else lucky enough to find them.
 
THERESA (Lewes England, Mar 2024 - 3 weeks)
I cannot recommend Liz and Andy highly enough. Our dog loved them and was well looked after and our house was immaculate on our return. There was a delicious pot of homemade soup waiting for us which was very welcome after a long journey. I very much hope they are available on any future trips.
 
ANNETTE (Chertsey England, Mar 2024 - 2 weeks 3 nights)
Andy and Liz are a delightful couple who we hadn’t met ahead of agreeing their house-sit of our smallholding. We chatted a number of times beforehand and they asked all the right equations - clearly focused around care of our animals (2 dogs and 9 chickens) and security of our house (a small holding with 4 acres of land). They arrived when we were away and kept us informed regularly of how the animals were - not too often but just often enough. We got back from our travels and spend a ... MORE
 
BEEJ (Clunbury , Feb 2024 - 4 weeks)
Andy and Liz were absolutely fantastic sitters. The house was clean on our return (they even used their own bedding and towels) and Jinx was a very happy content cat. We got regular updates and they even baked us some delicious cookies! Will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future!
 
CLARE (Perranporth England, Jan 2024 - 1 week)
Liz and Andy looked after our cat Ginger while we were away for just over three weeks. We were lucky they could come the day before we left so we had a chance to introduce them to Ginger and show them around the house. Liz and Andy were a godsend. They looked after Ginger really well, kept communication going so we always knew how things were back at home which put our minds at rest. They also did some work in the garden for which we are very grateful. And last but not least we returned to an ... MORE
 
KATE (Storrington Tennis Club , Dec 2023 - 3 weeks)
Absolutely 5 star sitters. Andy and Liz face timed me to make all the arrangements arrived on time, and contacted me to make sure the dog wasn't left alone if I couldn't get back home. Flat was left clean and even better there was a fantastic bowl of soup for me to eat after a tiring journey. Couldn't ask for more would love to see them again and hope they enjoy the rest of their travels and adventures around the UK. Julie
 
JULIE (Southwold England, Nov 2023 - 4 nights)
Andy and Liz are just wonderful human beings. From first communication I felt at ease and comfortable with them looking after our home and two dogs. They went over and above to keep us in touch with how things were going, asked all the right questions and left the house immaculate, with lots of little thoughtful touches like home-made food in the fridge for our return, the bed made up, doggies fed and walked. Our neighbours loved them and so the dogs and so did we. I would not hesitate to ... MORE
 
LEONIE (Torphins Scotland, Nov 2023 - 1 week 3 nights)
You just know and feel when you meet good people, and it was so in our case. Andy and Liz just exude kindness when you meet them. They took to our dogs immediately and the dogs were all over them saying hello. We did not hesitate going on holiday and leaving them in charge of our house and dog children. They communicated through out our holiday with photos and texts with the dogs having a ball. We can not recommend them enough for when you go on holiday or require a sitter for whatever reason. ...

DRIENIE (Buckie Scotland, Oct 2023 - 1 week 3 nights)
It’s hardly possible to express in words how well this house-sit went and how superb Liz and Andy were from initial conversation right through to final clean and handover. It was a pleasure to lend them the house in exchange for their care and attention to the cat and the property. Textbook house-sitters whom I would use again in a heartbeat.
 
JIM (Tarporley England, Sep 2023 - 3 weeks - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Andy and Liz were both very professional and took their responsibilities very seriously, with warmth and energy. We really appreciated the contact from them when we were away, giving updates on our dog and sharing photos of her! On our return it was clearly evident that they had bonded with our dog, she was happy and super healthy. Our house was also amazingly cleaned with a freshly ironed bed and food waiting for us. They had also mowed the lawn and looked after our plants. We found them both ... MORE
 
LORNA (Cirencester England, Aug 2023 - 2 weeks 4 nights)
Highly Recommended!! Andy and Liz looked after our North London home, garden, and our beloved Cockapoo Riley for 4 weeks. From the first contact it was clear that they had loads of home and pet experience. They asked all the right questions, responded quickly and were a delight to deal with. Whilst we were away, they kept in touch and we felt reassured that our home and our pup were in good hands. When we arrived back from holiday, the house was spotless (they even descaled the kettle), the ... MORE
