House & Pet Sitter Review from Anita – Australia, 2021
Sam & Ben have sat for us before and they did not fail to disappoint. We were able to go away without any concern or worry and enjoy our holiday knowing only too well that everything would be under control and the dogs would be well looked after. On our return the house was sparkling clean and there were a few fresh perishables awaiting us and the dogs were very contented. I would highly recommend Sam & Ben for a house/animal sit. I hope to have them back again.
House & Pet Sitter Review from Christina – Australia, 2021
Sam and Ben looked after our home and cat in the Gold Coast for 10 days while we went to NZ to visit family. Sam was fantastic with her communication both prior to and during their sit, sending regular updates and photos to us. They left the house clean and tidy and went the extra mile to ensure we had milk and bread upon our return. I would highly recommend Sam and Ben for future sits and would happily have them back any time (as would our cat).
House & Pet Sitter Review from Ian – Australia, 2021
Sam and Ben our a lovely couple with loads of energy, when we first met them and introduced them to our house and dogs they where very professional, making sure that they knew all of the dogs routines, vets etc. But as soon as the nitty gritty was out of the way we sat down with them and it was like we had been friends for years, such a nice couple. When we got home the house was spotless, they had washed there sheets and towels and washed the dogs. I would strongly recommend Sam and Ben no matter what pet you have, guarantee they will do a great job!!
House & Pet Sitter Review from Venus – Australia, 2020
Sam and Ben were easy to communicate with, super organised and very capable whilst looking after our dog, house and gardens for 9 days. Our dog was very well cared for, even spoilt with attention, and our house was spotless upon our return. Special touches like bread and milk as well as fresh sheets on the bed made our return home very welcoming. We would not hesitate to recommend Sam and Ben for any house sit.
House & Pet Sitter Review from Lisa – Australia, 2020
Sam and Ben looked after our mini poodle puppy Murphy for 10 days recently at our apartment in Melbourne. Murphy has separation issues and we have not left him alone yet. Sam and Ben took awesome care of him, making sure someone was always with him and including him in their outings. We got lots of lovely photos of Murphy having a great time, getting lots of cuddles and adventures. I completely trusted Ben and Sam with my apartment and use of my car everything was clean and tidy on our return. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sam and Ben.
House & Pet Sitter Review from June – Australia, 2020
These two lovely people did an amazing job looking after our Labrador Dee, she was happy and content. They sent updates frequently, photos, gave her medication daily, long walks in the park…playing ball. Sam and Ben had cleaned the house, it was spotless, a card to welcome us home. Because we had a later flight, coming in at midnight, they had left the lamps on so we could see our way, very welcoming , we would find them again on Trusted House Sitters, when we go on holiday again. They are the perfect sitters, thank you Sam and Ben x
House & Pet Sitter Review from Olivia – Australia, 2019
Sam & Ben are amazing house sitters and took great care of our dog, Winston. They are both very friendly and you can tell they love caring for animals and house sitting – I always get nervous about leaving him but they put our minds at ease so when we left we had no concerns at all and knew that Winston was in safe & loving hands. We received daily pictures of Winston at the park & on his walks with updates of how he was getting on. When we returned home our house had been well looked after, very clean & most of all Winston was very happy. We cannot fault Sam & Ben at all and we can’t recommend them highly enough. I wish they were able to house sit for us every time we went away.
House & Pet Sitter Review from Anita – Australia, 2019
Sam & Ben were amazing. We came home to super happy dogs, a super clean house and we were kept updated daily with pics of the dogs been taken out on a walk and a swim. It was so comforting whilst you are away to know your four legged friends are having a great time and all is under control. Sam and Ben are such lovely people and there are not enough stairs to sing their praise.
House & Pet Sitter Review from Susan – Australia, 2019
My two boys: Angus and Vinnie were without a doubt very sad to see Sam and Ben leave after having been looked and loved for 8 weeks… so wonderfully.
House & Pet Sitter Review from Tarra – USA, 2019
Sam and Ben are fantastic housesitters! They are both very personable and clearly have a love of animals. Sam is very concise and quick with communications. My pets and home were very well cared for in my absence. I couldn’t be happier – I highly recommend Sam and Ben.
House & Pet Sitter Review from Gayle & Nick – USA, 2019
Sam and Ben were wonderful. Very communicative and reliable. They left the house, and our cat, in wonderful condition. Highly recommended.
House & Pet Sitter Review from Gregg & Sue – Canada, 2019
Awesome house sitters, LOVED these two. From the beginning their infectious personality and attention to detail made us totally comfortable with leaving our three girls with new friends. Loved how Sam triple checked all our needs then followed up with what ever we requested. Dogs were happy girls, and house was kept perfectly clean. Not to mention the little extras they left us unbeknown to us we came home to. Highly recommended and open opportunity to come sit for us anytime!
House & Pet Sitter Review from Meaghan – Canada, 2019
Sam and Ben were great! They clearly communicated everything and were very accommodating to come meet us and our cat before a last minute trip! We were totally put at ease meeting them – they are very easygoing and dependable. They gave us updates while we were away and they left our place even tidier than we did, even though they were here for a short period! We really appreciated them looking after our cat and our place and would definitely have them back.
House & Pet Sitter Review from Brian & Janelle – Canada, 2019
Sam and Ben provided a great house sit for us. In the beginning, they sought to understand our expectations and the specific needs of our pets. They were responsive while we were away and provided updates on the dogs. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs. Highly recommend and would have them back anytime.
House & Pet Sitter Review from Pamela – Canada, 2019
Sam and Ben, were great house sitters. Kept me updated on Nala and sent a pic of her the first day they got here. My kitty was happy and content when I got home and my house was nice and clean. Thank you guys for such a great job! I would recommend to anyone needing a good trustworthy sitter for your fur baby!

Wendy – Character Reference, 2018
My partner and I have know Sam and Ben for 15 years. Throughout the time, we have developed a fantastic, trusting friendship.
Sam and Ben are a reliable and responsible, pet-loving couple. We would trust them with our house and homely possessions anytime they need a place to stay.
They often house sit for our friends and I know they take great care of their pets. Sam and Ben both have kind hearts and always show great affection to pets and animals in general.
Ben – Character Reference, 2018
I have personally known Samantha and Ben since 2010 and it is my pleasure to recommend them for house-sitting engagements.
Sam and Ben are both focused and thoughtful people. Each has achieved success in their business careers not only through hard work and determination but also through intelligent problem solving to achieve results above expectation. I have recently sought business advice from them for my own business which has resulted in success.
They are trustworthy and considerate. On multiple occasions they have gone out of their way to look after a friends pet, adopted and re-homed shelter animals or performed favours for friends and family at their own expense.
They are always mindful of their commitments and have exhibited responsibility for their own and others belongings. I have entrusted my car and my apartment to them over extended periods of time for their own use without concern.
Communication is a notable characteristic of both Sam and Ben. Their skills in this area are second to none and have been demonstrated numerous times in both their work and personal environments.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Sam and Ben. Should you wish to discuss anything in further detail, I would be happy to be contacted and details can be provided on request.

I have known Ben and Sam for over 10 years, they are highly responsible and caring individuals. They love animals and have proved to be amazing doggy foster parents in the past. They are clean and considerate and would make amazing house sitters.
