Testimonials
How lucky are we to add our thanks to the long
list of happy pet owners who have had Jeanie and Daniel as house sitters. We had emailed and chatted quite a bit and were
so pleased that they were so flexible and understanding, as we needed to change dates at the last minute. It was like greeting old friends when they arrived the day
before so we could show them the routines of Honey (14) and Toby (2) our Golden Retrievers, Maggie and Chilli our Kelpie working
dogs, five chooks, three ducks, and seven guinea fowl, as well as show them around and initiate them as "sheep farmers"! We had a stress-free holiday and equally Jeanie and Daniel
enjoyed life on the farm and getting to know our community. It
was so good to arrive home to an immaculate house and garden, a home cooked dinner, and happy pets who were really ho-hum
about greeting us. Thank you so much, we'd love you both to come and stay again, and I know "the gang" would be
happy, too. J&D McF .
Families come in all shapes and sizes.
We
had the privilege of Daniel and Jeanie looking after our three dogs, Coco, Archie, and Oscar whilst we got away for a week. From the first meeting they were both exceptionally thorough and professional. Our
dogs were met with every need taken care of. Our gardens and pool also maintained meticulously. Attention
to detail, caring and nurturing couple. I can’t recommend them more highly. Welcome
back to Maianbar anytime. Jodee & John In
addition, to taking care of our pets, Daniel and Jeanie took care of our home. We found no issues and the place was clean
and tidy when we arrived home. They were so generous to prepare a hot meal for us when we got home late upon our return. It’s
those extra little things that really count. Daniel and Jeanie are incredibly friendly and easy going. It’s like we had know them our whole lives after
one conversation. Definitely take the time to get to know them. They have great stories! They were (and are) very approachable,
accomodating and organised with arranging the sit. We would highly recommend this couple and will definitely have them back
again. Your
friends in Christ, Becky & Grant Emans and Sheila, Jack
and Kitty (meow!)" Regards Craig and Jayne
We were so fortunate to find Daniel and Jeanie to look after our home and numerous pets while we were overseas for
two weeks. Nothing was too much trouble for them, We have an active dog, a grumpy cat, half a dozen fish, 11 chickens and
two ferrets – which takes quite a lot of effort to care for them all. On top of that, our house is only accessible via
boat, but Jeanie being the amazing person that she is, got her boat license so she could travel to and from our house at will. Upon
our return, our animals were happy, our house clean, the boat still afloat and even a meal cooked and ready for us in the
fridge. This was our first house sit, and we think that we will plan all our future travel around Daniel and Jeanie’s
schedule because I doubt we would ever find such fantastic house sitters again. We are truly grateful to have met
them.
 
******************** Daniel
and Jeanie took great care of our home and two cats for 6 weeks. They are very diligent with their pre-sit planning
and go the extra mile to make sure the house, garden and pets are well looked after. We would have no hesitation in
recommending them as trusted house sitters and would entrust our home and pets to them at any time (in fact we suspect the
cats miss them terribly!). Ali and Sean, Petersham, NSW ************************** Our grandchildren love helping with the pets! I can highly recommend this house sitting couple. I have two elderly
dogs; one needs very special attention and they were happy and healthy when I arrived home. They were looked after professionally
and my house was spic and span - a welcoming sight. They replaced products (many thanks) to save us replacing when we
got home. Please keep us on your list of return house sits.
We regard you as good friends and it was a pleasure to have you help us out for our 5 week European holiday, with photos
and regular updates of the dogs. 5 Star rating! A big thank you Jeanie and Daniel! Kerrie - Yarrawarrah NSW  ***********************
Daniel and Jeanie minded our house and two precious dogs [Italian Greyhounds] when we went on holidays for two weeks. They took good care of our boys and our house, and we would recommend them as trusted house sitters. They were welll organised and this ensured the house sit went smoothly. David & Penny, Bonnet Bay, NSW 
Jeanie and Daniel took care of
our house and two gorgeous pugs for over five weeks while we were holidaying in South America. They were very thorough
with their pre-sit orientation which gave us great confidence in their ability to look after everything well. They did
not disappoint us and did a great job. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone and I am sure the
pugs would agree. Gill and Michael, Cremorne, NSW
Daniel and Jeanie Ough house sat for us for four weeks in January/February 2015 and
we felt thoroughly privileged and blessed by them. Communication beforehand was exemplary and timely. They had
read our pre-sent house instructions and when they came to visit prior to taking residence asked intelligent and appropriate
questions to cover important details. During the time we were
overseas they kept in touch to confirm that all was going well. On our return we not only found the house and garden
in immaculate condition, but were also welcomed with flowers and fresh perishables stocked in our fridge. Daniel and Jeanie are very personable and generous people. We would be delighted to entrust
our house to them at any time. Warren and Jessie Glover, Ringwood, Victoria Daniel and Jeanie took good care of our home while we went on a trip to the
US this summer. It was a blessing to have them stay at our place. They took good care of the house and garden
and we found it in a better shape than we left it! They made friends with our neighbours who even gave them a farewell
dinner. When we returned we found start up groceries like milk,
bread and fruits provided which was very thoughtful on their part. We highly recommend Daniel and Jeanie to house sit
for you. Biju and Anita Melbourne Thank you for looking after our beloved dog; we really appreciate
it. Thank you for the beautiful blooms; it was delightful to come home and see them sitting there. Please let us know
if you are interested in staying again sometime in the future. Diane and Greg, New South Wales Daniel and Jeanie housesat for 3 weeks while we took time out to be involved in the wheat harvest and also have
a well earned week's holiday. Thank you Daniel and Jeanie for your loving care of our home and garden. You looked after it
as if it was your own and to come home to a clean and tidy home and produce from the garden was a blessing. We will certainly
have you on our list as those to call for future housesits and will recommend you to others of our friends. Thank you for
giving us confidence that our home was in good care. Gavin and Glenda Williams Budgewoi NSW Every
task was carried out with a high degree of competency and care. It was wonderful to come home and find everything so
well looked after and the house immaculate. We would love to have them as house sitters again and
would recommend them to anyone looking for caring house sitters. D&J, Calen, Queensland Daniel and Jeanie provided us with a 5 star housesit
recently while we holidayed overseas for five weeks. We came home to a beautifully clean house, fresh flowers and one
extermely happy little dog. From the moment that we did the meet and greet, we knew that our home and dog Muffin were
in extremely capable hands. Our West Highland Terrier had the time of her life, with twice daily walks and lots of playtime.
. . she's actually been walking around the house since they left looking for them! We feel very fortunate that we found
Daniel and Jeanie, and they'll definitely be our first call for any future housesits. Thanks again, Cathy,
Richard, Lauren and Muffin Como West, Sydney Dear Daniel and Jeanie, We just returned home after exhausting lengths of travel and were pleased to find the
house in perfect shape. I don't mind saying, Alex and I can rarely get the house as clean as you did for us and we appreciate
it. Anyway, this is just a quick note to thank you again for taking care of our animals and our house. We'd be
happy to have you again. Michael and Alex Canberra  It
was with some apprehension that I decided to have housesitters for the first time to look after my small property & 4
legged family while I was away. No one can do it as well as me etc. My
home was respected & even the property maintained but best of all my pets were well loved & cared for. They are a
caring, responsible, delightful, experienced couple. Alice & Dealer are looking forward to their next visit with much
excitement.  I recently had the pleasure of meeting Jeanie and Daniel and having them look after my cat and
home while away for 3 ½ weeks. It was my first time using house sitters outside our family and friends so I was a little anxious.
Jeanie and Daniel agreed to arrive the day before my departure and upon meeting
them I very quickly felt I had made the correct choice. The next day they even took me to the airport,
an hour away, which was much appreciated. While I was away I received several emails from Jeanie keeping me up to date with what was happening
at home plus some photos of our very spoilt cat. When I arrived back in Brisbane Jeanie and Daniel met me at the airport with my car so I could
drive myself home while they headed back to their home base. Ngaire and Molly – the princess cat
It is with the greatest pleasure that we write a testimonial
for house sitters Daniel and Jeanie Ough. Our
daughter was married in February of this year, and as we had met both Jeanie and Daniel on Skype some weeks prior, with a
view to doing some housesitting for us during the year, they took the initiative and contacted us to ask if they could help
us out during our absence in the Hunter Valley preparing for the wedding. We jumped at the chance to have our three
precious dogs minded and of course our house, as everyone we knew was coming to the wedding. When we returned from the wedding, our house was immaculate, the dogs were extremely
content and we had dinner waiting for us, courtesy of Jeanie, who thought we would be too tired on our arrival home to think
about cooking anything. We cannot speak
highly enough of them both. We were very fortunate to have picked them out of all the “sitters” on the website.
We enjoyed having them look after our precious “children”. We never hesitate to call them when we are thinking
of “hitting the road” again. We regard them both as friends. Thank you so much, Jeanie and Daniel! W. & D. West, |

To return home to find that our farm, business and home have been in such safe hands, and that our dog has been cared
for with love, greatly adds to the benefits of a worry-free vacation. |

Daniel and Jeanie have house sat for us a number of times. We asked
them to come back a number of times as they really did such a great job of looking after our house, two cats, the fish and
even our worm farm!! We also have a pool, as we all know that often takes more time to look after than everything else put
together and Daniel and Jeanie managed to keep it crystal clear ready for us to use once we got back! Their natural affiliation with our elderly cats was a great comfort; Lottie
and Gretal were very spoilt and were quite sad to see them go!! We can thoroughly recommend Daniel and Jeanie as trustworthy, caring house sitters who can tackle all aspects of
looking after a big house, pets and all of the other things that go along with home ownership. Rachel and Peter |
I am happy to recommend Daniel and Jeanie Ough as both house sitters and
minders of pets. They looked after my house exceedingly well, actually improving the garden with the addition of potted
flowers (these are still doing well surprisingly). They also could not have treated Ginger any better with plenty of
walks, swims at the beach and even trips to the Cygnet golf course. Michael Fagan

Daniel & Jeanie looked after my home and my 2 dogs for a month while I was in Europe.
I cannot recommend them highly enough. They made the whole process very simple. My
dogs had an instant rapport with Daniel & Jeanie, and on my arrival home, I found my house lawns and garden immaculate. I feel very fortunate to have found such great house sitters. Anyone considering
Daniel & Jeanie as house sitters can rest assured that their home and pets will be in great hands. Yours sincerely, Simone Parish
