House Sits 2009

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

May 2009

Looked after a house and 1 dog, Kirra.

“Graham & Cheta looked after our house and our red cattle dog Kirra for the May day long weekend. As soon as I met them, I felt at ease because Graham asked us straight away if Kirra likes walking. As well as being a very friendly couple, their interest in our dog was the most important aspect of the house sitting for us as Kirra gets very upset when we go camping. Kirra was very exhausted and not even too excited to see us as she usually is when we arrived home. The house was kept neat & tidy and Kirra was well looked after. I definately would recommend Graham & Cheta to look after your house and pets if you ever go away. Graham and Cheta are certainly welcome to come to our house again, in fact we will be approaching them for their services (depending where they are travelling) before we ever go away again.” (Adam & Melissa, and Kirra, Gablonski)

May 2009

Looked after a house, 1 cat, Madrigal, and 1 dog, Tumble.

“Thanks for connecting us with our housesitters, Cheta and Graham, who ably looked after our animals and home during our recent trip. The animals were very well looked after, there was occasional email contact between us, and we were very confident that all was well in our absence. We hope they will be available for us in the future, and recommend them to home owners looking for sensitive, sensible and rural friendly sitters.”

July 2009

Looked after a Cortijo and 3 dogs, Cissy, Molly and Harvey.

Graham and Cheta came to my rural cortijo and three four legged family members in July for three weeks. I had contacted them previously letting them know that there had been water problems and that they may be living off minimum water and they let me know that they would manage and that they would welcome the challenge. After meeting them I was very confident that my three dogs would be well taken care of in my absence and that the house would be taken care of and if there were any problems it would be well within their ability to manage the situation. Graham and Cheta are a smashing, lovely, resourceful, thoughtful couple and I would have no hesitation in inviting them back again to watch the home if I were to need to travel again.
