About Jo & Wayne
We are a friendly, non-smoking couple who have been petsitting for five years and love it! We have both grown up with dogs and cats (and a guinea pig and rabbit, though that was a long time ago!) We really want our own dog when we arrive back in Melbourne! I have taught secondary English for many years and Wayne organises IT for a Cancer charity. I am now a full-time teacher and Wayne is a dog trainer. I am Australian and my husband is South African. We got married in 2013, and we love looking after pets!

Both Wayne and I have grown up with pets. I had two cats and a dog for many years and Wayne had many dogs. Between us - a standard poodle, a bull terrier/kelpie, and a lovely pavement special and others! We have rented for many years and have been responsible tenants. We have both dealt with various household issues responsibly. We have both done housesitting in our own countries and would care for your home and pets as though they were our own; that is a guarantee. We have petsat in various countries, including a 400 year old farmhouse in France and a boutique hostel in Santorini for two months. We looked after three dogs there plus had to maintain the condition of the rooms over the closed winter period, making sure that the large property was ready for the opening season. We take our responsibilities in petsitting very seriously and aim to make your pets as happy as possible. Being a teacher, I must always have an up to date Police Check.

Jo and Wayne were fantastic with the care of our dog Bootsy. We could completely relax on our holiday knowing that he was happy and in good hands. We really appreciated the updates with photos too. We would highly recommend Jo and Wayne as pet sitters 😊

We love having these guys stay. Our place looks better than when when we leave it. They look after our furry kids as we would.
