The Scenic Route Sitters
Hiya! Our names are Harmonie and Kevin, a married Canadian couple going on our first trip to Australia for a year on the Working Holiday Visa. Having caught the travel bug on a trip to Portugal with friends, we started madly saving for our next adventure. After a year and a half of drudgery, we are finally off to Oz in April 2018!
We are primarily traveling by house sitting, taking care of homeowners' pets and properties while they are away. We prefer to travel slowly, getting to know this fascinating country through the local's viewpoint, while still seeing the famous sights. If you don't mind taking the scenic route, we would love to have you follow us along the way!
DISCLAIMER: As a general rule, we do not post details about the owners, home or pets we are taking care of to respect the privacy of the homeowners who have put us into their trust. Any posts about a house sit would only be through the owner's express permission.

Heartily recommended - No one could have done better!
Harmonie and Kevin were our house and pet sitters from April 20 to May 1.
That is, they looked after 3 sheep, one congenitally lame, 6 ducks including one blind and some 14/16 years old, one old hen, blind, 18 years old, as well as 5 hens and a rooster, two geese and 4 feral cats (2 very timid) - and some complicated diets!
All were in good health and spirits when we returned.
Not only that, Kevin and Harmonie had found time to water our 1 acre garden - even the most needy plants were in fine condition.
Thank you, best of all house and pet sitters we have ever had!
Very best,
Jenny and Gerald Stanley

Harmonie and Kevin recently did a house/pet sit for us whilst we enjoyed a couple of days away. Sadly there was an incident with one of our cats which was handled with the upmost of care and compassion. I am eternally grateful to them for all that they did. Harmonie and Kevin are a lovely young couple full of life and so well organised. If anyone has a house sit coming up with this couple you will not be disappointed. Thanks again Harmonie and Kevin and I hope that you enjoy the rest of your travels around Australia. Travel safe and take care, it was an absolute pleasure to have met you both.
