We are a mature, retired professional Canadian couple looking to housesit in Canada. We love animals and have experience caring for many family pets over the years. We have cared for 18 cats and kittens as a foster home through involvement with a local cat rescue.
We are flexible regarding housesitting locations and durations. We are clean, neat and quiet non-smokers and will have our own car to deal with any emergencies that may come up. Derek has had several police checks over the years in his capacity as a school bus driver.
We are an energetic, active couple. and will be happy to undertake practical maintenance of your home and garden.
We welcome all enquiries and are available to meet you via Skype, Facetime or WhatsApp.
Looking forward to meeting you and your pets.
Derek & Linda
It was an absolute delight to have Linda and Derek look after our Lady Grey and home. We knew she was in great hands and returned to a very content cat and tidy home. Thank you for everything.
I couldn’t speak highly enough of Linda and Derek. They loved my puppies and took wonderful care of our house and garden. We appreciated the extra cleaning you did knowing I had been through a stressful time just before the house sit. Would highly recommend. Such a pity they live in Canada. All the best for the rest of your holiday. Anyone would be luck to have you.
We feel very fortunate to have had Linda & Derek as our first ever house sitters...could not have had anyone more suited to our situation. Their care of our cat Travis was just wonderful and we returned to an immaculate home...thank you so much Linda & Derek for such a positive experience with Aussie Housesitters...Mark & I wish you a fantastic forward journey xx
Linda and Derek recently house sat our 1 year old Border Collie. We spoke to them on the phone before they arrived and were very impressed by how easy going and committed to house sitting they are. Clearly they are dog lovers who are both knowledgeable and caring. We wanted someone who would take our dog with them on most outings and they certainly did, having many adventures together and plenty of exercise during our week away. They communicated regularly sending us photos and reports of their ... MORE
Thrilled to pieces we chose Linda and Derek to house sit for us this time. It's always a bit daunting leaving your house and animals to people you have never met before, but we feel they were our friends before they even arrived here from Canada as we had been in constant touch prior to their arrival. Tabatha soon warmed their hearts and settled them into his routine and when we arrived home we could see he was missing them, so they really did make a huge impact on him. Derek went above and ...

We are incredibly happy and grateful to have had Linda and Derek at ours this past month when we were abroad. They took such great care of our home and our dog, Toro, who adored them both! It was my first time using this platform, and they were incredibly patient and considerate in answering our questions and making us feel very comfortable in the process. They sent us regular photos and videos of Toro which gave us a big peace of mind. I think it made the difference in us being able to ... MORE

Linda and Derek were very friendly and easy to communicate with. They did a great job looking after Balthazar and he seemed very content when we got back from our holiday. They left the house spotless. Highly recommended.
Linda and Derek were our first pet/house sitters and we could't have been more pleased! They took such great care of both Buddy and our home. Buddy enjoyed his twice daily walks with Linda, Derek and Jasmine! Our house was spotless when we came home and we even came home to some extra goodies in our fridge. Thank you Linda, Derek and Jasmine for taking such good care of things for us while we were away. If we could give 10 stars, we would!
Derek and Linda were the most amazing house sitter , we came home to home baking and a very clean house and 2 very happy wee dogs ,we would love them to come back when ever they come back to New Zeand , we will all miss you a lot . Thanks you so much from Sharon , Andy , Jazzi and Arnold
Derek and Linda were just lovely. They stayed a night with us before we left and were enjoyable company. I came to a house that was cleaner than I left it and a contented cat. Linda had even made a batch of cupcakes for us.
Linda and Derek sat for us for 4 weeks Jan/Feb 2019 and we have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to look after your house and pets.
The sit was confirmed 6 months in advance and we kept in touch by email before the sit.
On arrival it was clear they are animal lovers, especially Linda who couldn't wait to meet the animals in their care, they shared stories of their pets and experiences and at this point, I knew my furbabies were in good hands.
This was Linda and Derek's ... MORE
