About Johanna & Brendan

Hi,

We are Brendan & Johanna, a British and Colombian couple (now Aussie Citizens for over 9 years) living our dream running a small House & Pet Sitting business full time across Australia currently at the Sunny Coast.

Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion for us, having done so since our childhood. We have a gift of being able to easily connect with animals of all shapes and sizes.

What started as an innocent love for animals has flourished into a passion for helping pet owners enjoy their stress free travels with the comfort that their furry babies are being genuinely loved and cared for.

Having the pleasure of offering our services throughout NSW and currently Queensland, we’ve had the pleasure of looking after all types of animals, breeds of dogs, cats, birds and even a few horses.

We’ve literally looked after them all!

Boxers, poodles, greyhounds, German shepherds, Maltese X’s, staffies, Hungarian pulis, Cavoodle, Japanese Spitz, Cocker Spaniels, budgies, parrots, Burmese, ragdoll cats etc… and many more!

You name it, we’ve probably had them :)

As for us, we live a simple and healthy lifestyle, enjoying regular exercise, particularly swimming and hiking, as well as practicing healthy eating and meditation. Our professions are online-based, with Brendan working as a mindfulness therapist/coach and Johanna being a Spanish teacher.

Currently, we have been house/pet sitting full-time for more than 4 years, in both apartments and houses. We derive great joy from our work and will care for your furry loved ones and your property as if it were our own, catering to your requirements. We will ensure that your home is kept in optimal condition by performing tasks such as watering, gardening, cleaning, and pool maintenance while you are away.

Our services include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Providing genuine love and care for your pets while you are away, with ample playtime and cuddles
• Providing all-day care for your pets as we work from home
• Weekly updates with photos and videos that you can enjoy.
• Taking your pets on long walks (3-6km) each day, provided they are capable
• Taking your pets on 1-2 day trips per week to the beach or bush walks
• Accompanying your pets to vet appointments and emergency visits if necessary
• Administering necessary medication, including flea and tick medication
• Monthly or fortnightly grooming if requested
• All plant and garden care, including lawn mowing, wipper snippering, and watering plants
• Leaving your home in the same condition as we received it.

Our main goal is to help you enjoy stress free travels whilst away from your fur babies.
We are new to this platform so we don't have many testimonials yet but we have multiple more great references from our previous clients which we are happy to provide.
