Rachael and Mick – Port Macquarie, Australia (Dec 2022)
Such professional, respectful, and responsible house sitters. Went above and beyond to look after our house and fur babies. Was so lovely to come home and find our house and garden cleaner than when we left. They went above and beyond! They provided regular updates and we would highly recommend them as House Sitters.
Janet – Chiang Mai, Thailand (Nov 2022)
Glenn and Jacqueline were a wonderful couple who took very good care of my 3 cats while I was away. They sent me regular updates about the cats and managed to give the cats their medicines without too much problem. My cats were happy and relaxed with them. It was a pleasure to have Glenn and Jacqueline house sit for me and I would highly recommend them .
Elaine and George – Caldas de Rainha, Portugal (Sep/Oct 2022)
Jacqueline and Glenn are absolutely fabulous people and clearly animal lovers. We were fortunate to have past house/pet sitters recommend them to us and we couldn’t be happier. Toby and Cody, our two rescue dogs and Tristan and Oliver, our two rescue cats loved their company and great care. Both Jacqueline and Glenn treated our pets and our home as their own enabling us to have a very relaxing three weeks holiday. We can highly recommend The Aussie Lambs to take care of your most treasured possessions and sincerely hope we will have the opportunity to engage them again in the near future. You won’t be disappointed in this lovely couple.
Daniel and Sophie – London, England (Sep 2022)
It was a real pleasure to have our two cats taken care of by Glenn and Jacqueline. They were super communicative and tidy, and our cats were very happy with them. I think we were their 100th sit and you could tell – they made everything easy!
Allie – Glasgow, Scotland (Aug 2022)
Glenn and Jacqueline were great sitters. Rita, our cat, had a lovely time with them and the house was left sparkling clean. Would recommend.
Cheryl and Steve – Edinburgh, Scotland (Jul 2022)
Glenn and Jacqueline returned for their third house sit for us and it was so lovely to see them again. We had a new dog and new hens since their last visit so they stayed with us the day before we left for our holiday which enabled them to get acquainted with the newbies, particularly Olive our young Pomeranian, and to get reacquainted with Robbie our spaniel and Pippa our cat. As always Glenn and Jacqueline were perfect Housesitters. When we returned from our holiday the house was immaculate and the pets content. I have no hesitation in recommending Glenn and Jacqueline and hope they will be back housesitting for us again.
Annette and Max – Forest Hill, London, England (Jun 2022)
We would highly recommend Glenn and Jacqueline! They were our house sitters in London for 3 weeks long, looking after our house, garden and dog. Glenn and Jacqueline were organised, reliable, efficient, experienced and above all trustworthy in all aspects of looking after the house and garden and caring for our dog. They are also excellent communicators. This gave us a wonderful peace of mind.
Denise and Roger – Buderim, Queensland, Australia (Apr 2022)
Glenn and Jacqueline are outstanding house sitters, the best we had had over many years of engaging house sitters on the Sunshine Coast and in Rockhampton. Over the Covid period, they sat for us on several occasions and each time our house was beautifully clean (cleaner than we usually keep it), gardens in excellent shape, and our beloved Cavalier girls were sad to see them go and very pleased to see them again. The girls were walked to all sorts of interesting places, well groomed, and given plenty of loving attention. Throughout the sitting experience, from initial contact to wrap up, Glenn and Jacqueline had timely, clear communication and were able to handle anything that came up unexpectedly.
We thoroughly recommend them for any short or long house/animal sits. And if you would like to speak to us in person, please feel free to contact us (details available from Glenn & Jacqueline).
Fiona – Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australia (Apr 2022)
Glenn and Jacquie were fabulous. They communicated very well and really looked after Benny (my Tonkinese) while I was away. They are experienced sitters and very organised, clean and reliable. Highly recommend!
Gemma and Ted – Seven Hills, Queensland, Australia (Apr 2022)
Glenn and Jacqueline are everything you’d want in house sitters – respectful, clear communicators, organised, I’d even say professional but without losing their personal and friendly selves.
They looked after our two Labradoodles over Easter holidays 2022 for what was their fourth sit for us. As you might tell after that many sits, we trust them completely and have been delighted every time to return to healthy happy (well exercised) dogs, as well as a super clean and tidy house and garden.
Glenn and Jacqueline even had to deal with one our dogs being ‘in season’ during this most recent sit, all of which they took in their stride. Thanks both of you and we hope to see you in Queensland again in the future.
Heather and Peter – Parkdale, Victoria, Australia (Mar 2022)
The housesitting experience with Glenn and Jacqueline was perfect in every way. Genuinely kind and friendly who cared beautifully for our Betty Boo, and looked after our home and garden superbly! Thank you! We would highly recommend them and hope to see them both again!
Best skills: Pets well cared for, Followed instructions, Home neat and clean, Maintained garden, Punctual, Resourceful
Mark and Adrian – Flemington, Victoria, Australia (Feb 2022)
Glenn and Jacqueline looked after our house and numerous animals for 2 weeks. We did not have a chance to meet prior to the sit and were therefore concerned about giving them enough information. We shouldn’t have been worried. These guys are capable and managed with the instruction book and daily sheet we have for the house and the odd WhatsApp conversation. We have quite a few pets. Juliet is a hypersensitive cat who can be difficult for us to manage let alone strangers. They worked through with her and succeeded in winning her over. We love our animals, plants and home and we have returned to healthy, well cared-for pets, thriving garden and a lovely clean house. We wish them all the best and recommend them to any one wanting responsible and reliable sitters.
Liane – Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia (Feb 2022)
We felt very secure knowing Jacqueline and Glenn were looking after our house and our precious cats. The house was spotless when we returned and the cats were well and happy. They sent photos of the cats while we were away which was great. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
Nizar – Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (Dec 2021)
Jacqueline & Glenn looked after my apartment and my little furry friend for 3 days. They were very lovely and well trained house sitters. Communication was very easy before arrival and during the sit. They left my apartment spotless and cleaner than before I left. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you.
Eliza and Mark – Pelican Waters, QLD, Australia (Oct/Nov 2021)
Wow! What can I say. We were so lucky to get Glenn & Jacqueline back for another sit, while we went on holidays. They are truely professional & very responsible while staying. They took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away & we came back to a spotless home & well cared for garden & content fur babies. Glenn & Jacqueline are a quiet, non smoking couple who take their role seriously & keep you informed & updated while away. Thx for returning & good luck in your future travels!
Ann and John – Warana, QLD, Australia (Sept/Oct 2021)
We had Glenn and Jacqueline house and pet sit for us on our recent holiday. Sept/ October 2021.
We found both Jacqueline and Glenn easy to communicate with.
We have two little dogs , Robbie a 15 yo poodle who is fragile and a young Maltese, Bella. The doggies loved being exercised daily and were very comfortable around Jacqueline and Glenn.
We had updates while we were away with photos of our pooches.
We were impressed to find the home in a clean and fresh state, topped off with fresh flowers and food in fridge.
We have no hesitation in recommending Jacqueline and Glenn to anyone looking for reliable, respectful and responsible house/ pet sitters.
Michael and Sharon – Buderim, QLD, Australia (Sept 2021)
We were very fortunate to secure Jacqui & Glenn for a second time in September 2021 for our trip to Tasmania. I think our 3 fur babies were equally chuffed to see them both again!
Like most people trying to book a holiday during these mad Covid times our plans kept changing and Jacqui & Glenn were flexible and understanding and above all else were great in keeping in touch in the lead up.
If you are a first timer when it comes to having House sitters then let us assure you that if you are lucky enough to get Jacqui & Glenn you will have a great experience and have all your expectations exceeded. We came home (again) to a house that was sparkling clean, dinner in the fridge and happy & contented cats.
We were hesitant to write this testimonial for fear of spiking the demand for their services (lol) but are none the less trying to coerce them into another sit later in 2022.
Would we recommend them ?…..absolutely, and without hesitation – your experience will be awesome!
Sue and John – Montville, QLD, Australia (August 2021)
Glenn and Jacqueline looked after our house and our Labrador dog for just over two weeks. Both have caring personalities and we could tell immediately that they were just the right people to help us have a ‘dog free holiday’. They left the house, garden and our dog in immaculate condition. Eadie was well cared for and enjoyed lots of walks and fun with Glenn and Jacqueline. We hope to have Glenn and Jacqueline back to do another dog sit for us one day in the future.
Ulli and Mikha – Cairns, QLD, Australia (July 2021)
Glenn and Jacqueline have been amazing from our very first contact. It was immediately apparent to us that they were very experienced house sitters which put my mind at ease for leaving our two geriatric Labradors in their care for 2 weeks.
They went above and beyond to make sure they understood the care needs of our boys – including feeding; walks; and medication needs. Even when our brown Labrador had a night-time ‘accident’ Glenn and Jacqueline adapted and problem solved ways to still provide loving care to our fur baby. The house was immaculate, and Glenn even mowed our lawn whilst we were away – despite us telling him there was no need.
We returned home for one night between our two separate stays – for which the pair planned a BBQ for us and accommodated our coming home. Once again demonstrating their flexibility in accommodating to our ever changing holiday plans.
It been a delight getting to know GIenn and Jacqueline and we would highly recommend them both for any house sits that you might need for the future. They are easy going; reliable; flexible with their time and above all extremely experienced in caring for our home and our fur babies.
Eliza and Mark – Pelican Waters, QLD, Australia (June 2021)
Glenn & Jacqueline came and house sat for us for 5 weeks while we went away for a holiday in our caravan. We live in an apartment with 2 ageing dogs, who are used to getting their exercise. It was no problem for them to walk them twice a day and take them on their outings to the beach or to the park. They kept in regular contact with us notifying us of any mail that may need attention, as well as pics updating us on the well-being of the dogs. We came back to a spotless apartment with freshly mowed grass and lush garden. They made sure our dogs got their medications and they were freshly washed upon our return. I have no hesitation in recommending Glenn & Jacqueline for any house sit they want to do. They have years of experience and come fully prepared for any emergency that may arise.
Sue and Dave – Ashgrove, QLD, Australia (May 2021)
We could not have had a better experience than with Jacqueline & Glenn. We left our home and burgeoning garden in their care for around a month and when we returned home we found the place immaculately clean and organised. Our young garden had been carefully nurtured and some of our pots had been thoughtfully relocated to enjoy better aspects of the changing sunlight. We highly recommend Jacqueline & Glenn as caring, communicative and responsible house sitters and would love to have them back when we are able to travel again.
Patsy and Rob – Mt Eliza, VIC, Australia (April 2021)
We loved having Jacqueline and Glenn looking after our fur-babies. It was such a treat to know the animals were so happy and the place was looking great. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any house sitting needs. I even came home to clean windows and flowers. They have done house sitting all over the world, including a fish in Singapore. They love animals and it really shows. I would go on holidays just to get them back!
Kate and Pete – Somerville, VIC, Australia (March 2021)
We have just come back from our holiday and we were blown away with the high standard Glenn and Jacqueline provided to our fur baby Bruce and our home. This is the first time having house sitters and we would highly recommend Glenn and Jacqueline to care for your beloved Pets and home. It was so lovely to arrive home and see that Bruce was so content and happy with them. We received updates on how Bruce was going which made us at ease and could enjoy our holiday to the fullest. Thanks again Glenn and Jacqueline we hope we can have you house sit for us again in the future. P.S. I think Bruce is already missing you guys!
Ruth and Ken – Somerville, VIC, Australia (Feb/Mar 2021)
Glenn and Jacqueline house sat for us a second time for 8 weeks. Again, they were excellent. Returned to a spotless house, inside and out and a sparkling clean oven. Thank you. Will certainly book them again.
Gemma and Ted ~ Seven Hills, QLD, Australia (Jan 2021)
We were absolutely thrilled that Glenn and Jacqueline were able to come back for us again. We totally lucked out. Yet again, the dogs were as happy as could be and we came home to an immaculate house and garden (with 2 dogs and 2 kids it’s generally chaos – but when Glenn and Jacqueline have been there’s a sense of calm and organisation like never before). Our arrival home coincided with Brisbane’s snap Covid lockdown, so Glenn and Jacqueline stayed with us for an extra 3 days. Couldn’t have asked for better iso-housemates, as we thoroughly enjoy their company. We do hope they can come back to us again!
Tom and Tim ~ Gold Coast, QLD, Australia (Dec 2020/Jan 2021)
Thanks to Glenn and Jacqueline we were able to enjoy our only holiday of 2020 with complete peace of mind and know our dog Alfie was in safe hands. We came home to find everything even better than when we left it! You did a great job looking after the house, the garden and our 2yr old staffy, Alfie. He was so happy to see us when we came home but we could tell he was very relaxed and had been well looked after. We wish you all the best with your future house sits and would love to have you back at some point in the future if you are back in our part of the world.
Linda ~ Alexandra Hills, QLD, Australia (December 2020)
Well my first ever house sitters and I was totally impressed, cannot thank my housesitters enough, truly committed to their house sitting jobs, couldn’t be more happy and my pets were happy also. When I left for my little break I had no concerns whatsoever ….I highly recommend them and thank them for the care of everything and my animals …again thank you Glenn n Jacqueline.
Merrie and Michael ~ Caboolture, QLD, Australia (November 2020)
I’d be more than happy to highly recommend Glenn & Jacqueline as brilliant pet sitters. Not only did they look after our 3 furkids, the also did a great job taking care of our beautiful Mare Jasmine not only feeding her supplement which they had to mix up as well as cleaning up the paddock and making sure she was securely locked up for the night. They also fed the fish in our pond & birds that visited all our feeders. Our plants and gardens were lovingly cared for as well as our home. We were welcomed back with a lovely meal they had prepared for us as well as food for the boys. We wish them well in all their future endeavors & know your pets & home will be well taken care of.
Therese and David ~ Harvey Bay, QLD, Australia (November 2020)
Glenn & Jacqueline did an amazing job looking after our whippets for 10 days. Our youngest one required lots of medical attention due to recent issues and was given immaculate care. They are super punctual, organised, clean, great communicators and just beautiful people. Highly recommend.
Michael and Sharon ~ Buderim, QLD, Australia (October 2020)
Glenn & Jacqueline were originally going to sit for us back in March for our trip to Europe which didn’t eventuate. Fortunately we kept in touch and were really pleased to secure their services for our recent break.
This was our first time with house sitters and back when we originally listed our interest we were inundated with respondents. We fairly quickly short listed Glenn & Jacqueline and were fortunate to meet Glenn prior to our planned trip in March which really put us at ease.
The whole process was very easy and Glenn kept us updated in the lead up to our trip. Glenn & Jacqueline arrived the day before as agreed which was great as it gave us the opportunity to discuss the little nuances that every house (and Pet – in our case 3 Cats) has.
Overall I have to say that our expectations were well and truly exceeded in every respect – our Cats were happy and settled, our house was cleaner than when we left, the lawns were mowed and lunch was ready for our return.
We have no hesitation in recommending Glenn & Jacqueline (other than making them too sought after!) to anyone who looking for house sitters and particularly if it is your first time. We are already planning our next break and hopefully we will be able to secure them.
Five Stars all around
Gemma and Ted ~ Seven Hills, QLD, Australia (Sept/Oct 2020)
I wish Glenn and Jacqueline could move in permanently. They were absolutely wonderful. From the first email to beyond they have been magnificent. We were very fortunate to have the opportunity to meet Glenn and Jacqueline before the sit. They left us with really comprehensive questionnaires regarding the needs of our dog, what to do in any emergencies, the particulars of our house etc. From those – my confidence was high as it was evident that they really know what they are doing. They joined us the evening before our departure, and were amazingly helpful in assisting us to get the final bits and pieces ready for our trip – and taking us to our departure point.
Jacqueline is definitely an “animal whisperer”. Our dog was just so content and happy to be with her. Our dog was shown so much love and attention – she was so calm and content (and quite a bit fitter) on our return. Glenn and Jacqueline communicated with us according to the regularity we had asked for, and were incredibly responsive when we contacted them. The most AMAZING experience was arriving home from our holiday with the house completely spotless from top to bottom, the garden looking better than it’s ever been, all of the beds freshly laundered and made, and an incredibly happy dog. I would recommend Glenn and Jacqueline to anyone, and in fact, will be asking them to come back if ever they’re in Brisbane again.
Ian and Russell ~ Tamborine Mountain, QLD, Australia (Sept 2020)
Glenn and Jacqueline sat for us for a little over 4 weeks. They were amazing. They were attentive to the needs of our “fur babies”, as well as our wild creatures, and were mindful of Sasha’s needs as an older dog. When we confirmed them as our sitters, they asked us to fill in a detailed questionnaire about our property, the animals etc. This gave them a broader knowledge base in case of any unexpected event. They sent us pics of the animals and stayed in contact throughout our holiday. At the end of the sit, they cleaned the house thoroughly, as well as the therapy cottage. They tidied the garden, and mowed the grass. WOW.
I had to return home the evening before we were due to arrive due to a health crisis that my partner suffered that day. Glenn and Jacqueline were so kind and caring as I waited for news from the hospital. Their support and understanding helped enormously. They have called me since they left to enquire about the outcome. Fortunately all is OK. Thank you so much. Glenn and Jacqueline are true professionals at housesitting, as well as fantastic human beings. If they agree to sit for you, you are blessed.
Nerida and Graham ~ Norman Park, QLD, Australia (July/Aug 2020)
Fantastic couple who looked after our girls perfectly. They communicated with us regularly with messages on how things were going and photos and videos of our girls and phone calls to check in. The house was left spotless and Glenn and Jacqueline did a great job maintaining our lawn and gardens. They come with our highest recommendation and from our initial meet and greet everything went smoothly and we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday knowing our home and girls were being looked after beautifully.
Patsy and Rob ~ Mt Eliza, Australia (June 2020)
We loved having Jacqueline and Glenn looking after our fur-babies. It was such a treat to know the animals were so happy and the place was looking great. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any house sitting needs. I even came home to clean windows and flowers. They have done house sitting all over the world, including a fish in Singapore! They love animals and it really shows. Message me for further details. I would go on holidays just to get them back.
Margaret and Peter ~ Skye, Australia (March 2020)
Not only are Jacqui and Glenn the best pet minders but you will come home to an immaculate house, garden and cars. Our two dogs were so well cared for they didn’t talk to us for 2 days! So, have a holiday and don’t worry about anything – Jacqui and Glenn are the best at pet minding and house sitting.
Ruth and Ken ~ Somerville, Australia (February 2020)
Glenn and Jacqui just finished a sit for us and wow, were we impressed. We came home to a spotless house, spotless car and happy chickens. These two set a very high standard for house sitters and we would certainly book them again.
Kathy ~ Bittern, Australia (November-January 2019)
Talk about raising the bar! Throughout my time away Jacqueline and Glenn kept me informed, even if it was just pics of the puppies, to put my mind at ease that all was fine.
I came home to a great garden, spotless home, spotless car and dogs!
And oh the dogs! So much love and attention did my two beagles receive during my absence, I think they have been scouring the phone books trying to get in touch with Jacqueline, asking for an adoption to take place, wanting to change mothers!
Thank you so much Glenn and Jacqueline. As much as I would like to tell my friends about you, I simply don’t want you looking after anyone else’s home….I want you to keep coming back here! Please!
Vicki and Alan ~ Mornington, Australia (November 2019)
Glenn and Jacqueline looked after our house and our two dogs recently, whilst were away on holidays. We arrived home to happy relaxed dogs and a spotless house.
Their attention to detail, before and during the house sit, was amazing.
We couldn’t recommend Glenn and Jacqueline more highly.
Sonia and Scott ~ Albert Park, Australia (November 2019)
We are very thankful to have met Glenn and Jacqueline. They were highly recommended to us as experienced house sitters and a pleasure to meet and deal with from the very beginning.
Glenn and Jacqueline took great care of our home and our sweet dog Lexi. They kept us updated regularly which put us at ease. Glenn and Jacqueline are reliable, thorough, exceptional communicators and very trustworthy. We returned home to a happy Lexi who was sad to see her sitters leave.
We can’t thank you enough Glenn and Jacqueline. We would be more than happy to have you both back in our home again looking after our Lexi.
Mike and Viv ~ Penang, Malaysia (October 2019)
Glenn and Jacqueline are a well oiled team. There efficiency and organisation is only surpassed by the love and care they provided to our fur baby Holly. We arranged to have them arrive the day before our departure so that a period of adjustment and learning could be done. They also stayed a night after our return to hand Holly, and the house, back to us, telling of anything of importance that had happened. Glenn and Jacqueline are also friendly, easy going and easy to talk to. It is worth sitting down with them and listen to their wide and various tales of previous house sits on their many travels around the globe. Thank you so much guys, awesome meeting you!
Chris and Sue ~ Widdington, England (October 2019)
In October this year my wife Sue and I went on a 2 week tour of Boston, Toronto and New England, leaving our home and pets in the capable hands of Glenn and Jacqueline.
This is the second time that we have used the Aussie Lambs, and when diaries permit, we intend to keep using them in the future. Our 12 and 8 year old, high maintenance, chocolate Labradors clearly enjoyed their time while we were away and we were able to relax on holiday safe in the knowledge that they, our fish, chickens and house in general were in good hands. We came back to find that our fruit trees had been professionally pruned, our house was clean and tidy, and Jacqueline had cooked us a wonderful lasagna for dinner.
We would thoroughly recommend the Lambs to anyone who cares about their pets and home, and wants to have a relaxing holiday without worrying about either.
Carolyn and David ~ High Wycombe, England (September 2019)
Glenn & Jacqueline are delightful; we were so fortunate that they recently offered to stay and look after our pets and home for a third time. Thank you both for another successful house-sit, enabling us to go away with complete peace of mind. Stay in touch and hopefully we can arrange to meet up whenever you’re in the UK. Thank you both, love from Team Fitzgerald.
Anne and Naz ~ New York, USA (September 2019)
Once again we would like to Thank you for looking after Alfie, our 12 year old Weimaraner. I appreciate she is a little nonchalant with people she doesn’t know and it was wonderful to see that she quickly became very fond of you both, following Jacqueline around and keeping you awake with her snoring (lol – welcome to my world!) You were both very easy going and therefore easy to have around the evening before we left and when we got back. Our apartment was left immaculately clean.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you both and hopefully we will see you again in the future.
Cheryl and Steve ~ Edinburgh, Scotland (August 2019)
Glenn and Jacqueline have just completed their second sit for us and are just fabulous. They are so professional and cared for our pets and home as if it were their own. It’s great to go on holiday with that peace of mind. As they were in Edinburgh on another sit before ours they came round a couple of days before we left to chat through the pet’s routines and get an update on things that had changed since they were here last year and we did the formal handover the morning we left to go holiday.
When we returned the house was immaculate. We’d invited Glenn and Jacqueline to stay an extra night before their journey to France for their next sit and Jacqueline cooked us a delicious meal which was wonderful as we’d both gone straight back to work that day and it was lovely to spend some time getting to know each other a bit more.
Thank you once again Glenn and Jacqueline and hope you can come back again.
Mel and Tony ~ Edinburgh, Scotland (July 2019)
This was the second time we’ve had Glenn & Jacqui Lamb care for our Jack Russell X and our home in Edinburgh. Of all the Housesitters we’ve had (and we do travel quite regularly!) they really do stand out as the best! Our little doggie was happy and clearly well exercised as evidenced by her temperament and her lean physique. 🙂 As usual, we came back to a spotless home, everything in great order – even my overflowing washing basket had been sorted out! I’d mentioned to Glenn on our departure that I’d planted a veggie patch that was looking a bit overgrown with weeds … what we came back to just blew us away! They cleaned things up, staked our tomatoes, and even popped some marigolds in! Really impressive and much appreciated! Needless to say, we would welcome the Lambs back any time. Thanks a million guys!
Theresa and Stuart ~ Oberursel , Germany (July 2019)
Fabulous trustworthy, clean, helpful, thoughtful pet sitters. We highly recommend this lovely couple. We came home to very happy pets, a very clean home and a lovely home cooked meal. What more could we ask. Thank you both very much.
Marjolijn and Hans ~ Langlade, France (June 2019)
This was the third time Glenn and Jacqueline stayed at our house and took care of it and our 4 cats. They arrived 2 days before we departed for our month-long trip in May/June 2019. So, we had enough time to update them with any changes in an around the house. We started our holiday without any worries as we had left everything in safe hand as usual.
We received regular emails and photos confirming all was well and that Lola, Pedro, Moor and Max were doing fine. We were kept up to date about any problem that happened during their stay and after discussing it with us they solved the problems themselves. The cats looked fine and relaxed and obviously had a good time. We hope Glenn and Jacqueline will come back again next year. They take on the responsibilities very professionally, are fully trustworthy and are the perfect house guests and we became friends. We can recommend them to anyone looking for caring house and pet sitters.
Tina and Boe ~ Sainte-Marguerite-de-Carrouges, France (May 2019)
Glenn & Jacqueline have just looked after our two golden retrievers , we cannot thank them enough for their love and care they showed our boys. Due to a back injury, before we left , I was not able to do certain things before we left. Glenn & Jacqueline took it upon themselves to do these things, it went above & beyond what was expected. They are a kind, friendly and quiet couple who clearly love animals & will make sure that they are very well looked after for you. They kept us up to date every few days with mails & photo’s of what our dogs were up to. They are easy to have around & only too willing to help with anything. We will definitely be asking them to look after our boys again.
Anna and Arthur ~ Kingsclere, England (April 2019)
Glenn & Jacqueline housesat for us for two weeks and looked after the house beautifully. They had to bottle feed our two orphan lambs, which was a novel experience for them and they coped fantastically. Our three pigs were also happily fed. As expert gardeners they watered and weeded our garden.
Jonna and Raymond ~ San Miguel de Allende, Mexico (March 2019)
Glenn and Jacqueline stayed in our home for 10 days in March and we couldn’t be happier. We have a 6+ year old Bernese Mountain dog, a 2 year old rambunctious dog rescued from the street, a lazy and shy 10 year old Siamese cat and a crazy, and devilish small 5 year old Siamese cat. Glenn and Jacqueline took to each of them immediately and the reverse was absolutely true. The dogs got more walks than I can give them and they loved it. I warned them that they may never see the older shy Siamese because she is always hiding with strangers, Within two days, she was allowing them to pet her and, in fact, started coming into their bedroom for more pets.
We were very lucky in that they arrived a day and a half before we left, so we not only got to show them the “pet routines” but we got to spend some social time with them, also. They are absolutely wonderful and we would always go to them for any pet sitting needs.
We liked them so much that we told them that “our home is their home” any time they want to visit San Miguel.
Dara and Gar ~ Patzcuaro, Mexico (February 2019)
Jacqueline and Glenn stayed at our house in Patzcuaro, Mexico for 2 weeks in February 2019 while we were in Oaxaca. They took excellent care of our kitty Frisco as well as the house. They arrived a couple of days early, which gave us time to familiarize them with the quirks of the house and the cat. When we left, we felt very comfortable knowing Frisco was in good hands.
They were very affectionate with him, and when we returned he was obviously fond of them! Before the house sit, the questionnaire Glenn asked us to fill out was thorough and professional. Before, during, and after the house sit, communication was easy and efficient. They’ve had a lot of experience! We’d be very happy to have Jacqueline and Glenn stay at our house again in the future.
They were conscientious, capable, and trustworthy, also fun people to become acquainted with! We would recommend them without hesitation.
Carrie and Rick ~ Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (January 2019)
This was our first time using this site. We recently moved to Mexico and have a senior dog that needed daily medication and is deaf. We also have a 7 year old dog. Both needed to be on strict diets. We wanted Glenn and Jaqueline to come a bit early to get acquainted with the house, dogs, our town and meet our vet in case of emergency.
We felt very good leaving them on our long trip. As it turned out they did have to take the younger dog to the vet.
We received daily updates on everyone per our request which made our vacation worry free. Everything was great when we got back home.
We would highly recommend them to anyone. I would have them back to house sit in a heartbeat.
Thank you Glenn and Jacqueline for taking such good care of our fur babies!
Grant and Kathryn ~ Ajijic, Mexico (December 2018)
Jacqueline and Glenn are fantastic.
Communications were superb, Glenn sorted out small niggles with the house as they arose, the dogs received superb care – I think at least one of them would have picked Jacqueline over me if given the chance!
They are the nicest people, and I hope our budding friendship grows wherever our paths may cross. AAAAAAAAA+++++++++
David and Claudio ~ Ajijic, Mexico (December 2018)
It is impossible to say enough good things about Jacqueline and Glenn. I would trust them with absolutely anything.
They took perfect care of our old kitty and our car, and our slightly tricky big house in Mexico.
Absolutely five stars — or ten if there were such a thing! Personally they are among the nicest, finest, and most trustworthy people we have ever met in our lives — that is saying something! We may have to beg to get them to house/pet sit again! ******** stars!
Debbie and Jordan ~ Ajijic, Mexico (November 2018)
Glenn and Jacqueline took care of our home and pets for 4 weeks this past Oct./Nov. while we went to the Far East.
They arrived 2 days early — a great plan and recommended — which gave us a chance to really show them around our communities and get to know them better.
The Lambs are a lovely couple…fun to be with and very responsible and thoughtful.
They came prepared with their own check list of questions regarding the house, grounds and of course our three furry kids (2 medium sized rescues and one pure-bred, 10-pound toy poodle) which we reviewed in detail.
They spent most of their time at the house, using the car to get around for local shopping, etc. The dogs LOVED them both. The toy poodle, who was a one-person-pet (me) is no longer, having decided to sleep at night with Jacqueline and who stuck like glue to her during the day.
They were very conscientious about the 2 bigger sisters, taking them for two walks daily and also to our dog park where the dogs were able to romp and run off their energy.
We definitely recommend the Lambs to others. You will find them very reliable, communicative and proactive.
Steve and Mary ~ Chiang Mai (September/October 2018)
Jacqui and Glenn recently cared for our home and our cat, Jack, in Chiang Mai, Thailand. They have looked after Jack previously for us and he absolutely adores them. They care for animals deeply and we would have no hesitation in recommending Jacqui and Glenn for your house sitting and pet sitting needs.
Richard and Janine ~ Dubai, United Arab Emirates (August 2018)
Wow what can I say except Glenn and Jacqueline have been absolutely fantastic.
I’m always so nervous about finding the right sitters when we go away and always end up having a stressful holiday. With Glenn and Jacqueline it was the most relaxed holidays I’ve had.
They were amazing and really looked after my 3 cats so very well. They also left the house spotless while keeping us up to date daily on how my pets were doing.
I am so impressed and so happy that I found Glenn and Jacqueline.
I recommend Glenn and Jacqueline to anyone who wants total peace of mind when having to go away and leave their pets at home.
Scilla ~ Nicosia, Cyprus (August 2018)
Glenn and Jacqueline are very responsible and careful pet and house sitters. They communicated very well with me. They were very gentle and caring with my two cats. I really appreciated how clean they left my flat after their three week sit. I highly recommend Glenn and Jacqueline as pet and house sitters.
Mel and Tony ~ Edinburgh, Scotland (July 2018)
In our first year of using house sitters we have had nothing but good experiences, but our experience with Glenn and Jacqui has been outstanding to say the least! They are super organised and made sure that absolutely everything was covered before we left and they even organised a visit to come and see us before our trip to get acquainted with our home, dog and daily routine.
While we were away they kept in touch with dog pics (very good ones!) and of the flowers blooming in our garden which they had obviously been taking great care of! They even rescued us in an Airbnb emergency which took place at our holiday rental just down the street – Absolute angels!
But the best thing of all about our experience was coming home from our long trip to a very happy and well exercised dog (who according to the neighbors was very regularly seen out on walks) as well as a sparkling clean home. I’ve never seen our place so clean! (They even cleaned our daughters’ bedrooms which they didn’t even use!) As an extra touch they also made sure we had fresh bread, milk, eggs and even strawberries and pancakes for our girls’ breakfast…. wow!
Clearly we have been nothing short of delighted with Glenn and Jacqui and couldn’t recommend them enough as Housesitters. If you are lucky enough to get them for your next sit, we can assure you’ve hit the jackpot.
Thanks a million Glenn & Jacqui!!!
Cheryl and Steve ~ Edinburgh, Scotland (July 2018)
Glenn and Jacqueline have just finished a week sit for us and were fantastic from start to finish. They looked after our spaniel Robbie, cat Pippa, three hens and five fish, so a bit of a menagerie. Robbie gets four walks a day and the other pets need attention and feeding, cleaning up after etc. and this was all no trouble for Glenn and Jacqueline who clearly love all animals.
When we chose Glenn and Jacqueline we exchanged emails then had a face to face Skype chat so we felt we got to know each other a little more. There was an added complication because we had a sitter for our first week of holiday who had to do the handover to Glenn and Jacqueline for the second week but they took this in their stride and kept in contact with us to reassure that everything was fine.
While we were away they kept us up to date with how the sit was going and a few photos of the pets which was lovely. When we returned home the house was immaculate and the pets had clearly been well looked after.
We would be delighted to have Glenn and Jacqueline sit for us again and have already started to think about dates for next summer. We would have no hesitation recommending them as sitters. Thank you Glenn and Jacqueline
Linda and David ~ March, England (June 2018)
Glenn & Jacqueline looked after our Samoyed and home from 19th to 26th June 2018. They arrived the day before we went on holiday and left the day after we returned, which enabled us to show them our home and see them interact with our dog. They are a lovely couple and very professional and we went on holiday feeling very comfortable that our precious dog would be well looked after. They kept us updated whilst on holiday with messages and pictures and we returned home to a very happy pooch and our home was clean, tidy and had been well cared for. We would have no hesitation in recommending Glenn & Jacqueline and would be very happy if they were able to look after our boy and home again.
Marjolijn and Hans ~ Langlade, France (June 2018)
Glenn and Jacqueline house sat for us here for the second time. Our cats were very happy, Glenn had sent us several times photos of them and the house looked immaculate.
We like it very much when they are here we can leave without any worries. They are a well organised couple with lots of tender love for the animals.
We hope they can come back again next year.
Chris and Diane ~ Santa Cristina d’Aro, Spain (May 2018)
This is the third time we have had Jacqueline and Glenn house sit for us (see other references below) and as usual everything was just perfect when we returned from our holidays. We hope that they will be available next time we need house sitters.
Kemi and Federico ~ Valencia, Spain (April 2018)
Another great find on Housesitmatch for us. We absolutely loved having Glenn and Jackie. The dogs adored them and got lots of love so they were pretty happy. It was easy communicating with them and everything went so smoothly. They are organized, competent and friendly people. We would absolutely have them watch our dogs anytime without reservation. If you have an opportunity to have them sit for you, do not hesitate. Thanks guys, and we hope you keep in touch.
Rose and Cassie ~ Mount Martha, Australia (April 2018)
Glenn and Jacqueline were fabulous. We have elderly animals who needed much care; medicine, pampering and slow walks, and Glenn and Jacqueline were beautiful with them. They also looked after all of our house needs, from collecting mail to immaculate cleaning and maintaining. Our home has never been so clean and tidy (including the car). Glenn and Jacqueline also kept us informed, sent photos and videos of the animals, and communicated as needed throughout their stay. We found them trustworthy, communicative, reliable and honest. They came to our home prior to the house sit, to meet us and to meet our animals, and were very professional and organised, and inquisitive about how we wanted our home and animals cared for. We were very confident that we made the right choice to have Glenn and Jacqueline house sit for us. Thank you to you both for showing such care to our home and our fur kids! (We think they miss you!). We highly recommend Glenn and Jacqueline and hope to meet them again.
Andrew ~ Cranbourne, Australia (March 2018)
The decision to head away for a holiday was not the easiest to make given that I had two furkids to consider leaving behind for an extended period. Since I was looking at a holiday with a group of friends, this narrowed who I could leave my pets with, and it soon became apparent that my main option would be to board them in a kennel which I wasn’t keen to do.
I had often read Glenn and Jacqui’s posts on Facebook regarding their travels and adventures since packing up and leaving Australia for a life of housesitting, thinking to myself what a great way to see the world. When I saw a post from them indicating that they were going to be back in Australia at the time as my holiday and were looking for housesitting opportunities, I thought what great luck and immediately contacted them to see if they would be interested in looking after my two furkids and the house.
Having known Glenn and Jacqui for many years previously through both work and youth group did make the choice considerably easier to make, and certainly after reading their “Theaussielambs” website I could think of few I would be more comfortable with to care for my girls.
Leading up to my departure we had a Skype chat where we both addressed expectations of the sit, following this Glenn and Jacqui provided a very detailed questionnaire to fill out which would enable them to look after both the house and the dogs. The questionnaire covered such things as details of the dogs and their habits, feeding, vet details, who to contact in the event of emergencies, house and car insurance details, where to find items in the home, what could and couldn’t be used, local amenities, etc. It was very in depth and showed many things I just took for granted, however what it did do was cross all the t’s and dot all the i’s for Glenn and Jacquis’ stay to be pleasant with no hidden uncertainties.
The day before I left we went through the questionnaire together, they met my girls, took additional side notes and we had time to take the dogs on a walk around the neighbourhood.
Upon my return, I was greeted by my furkids who had been spoiled rotten with multiple walks each day and a home that was left in perfect order as I had left it. That evening Jacqueline prepared a beautiful meal that included some great home made pumpkin soup.
While away I was fully able to relax and enjoy myself, and not worry about the girls or the house, as I knew it was in good hands. I could not have been happier with Glenn and Jacquis’ professionalism with the house sit and would highly recommend them to anyone worldwide to use their services.
Sandra and Neil ~ Langwarrin, Australia (March 2018)
Glenn and Jacqueline house sat in March and looked after our boys, Golden Retriever ‘Bailey’ and our elderly bitzer, ‘Sam’. Hearing of their previous sits, we were very confident in leaving our home and dogs in their care. During their sit, we were regularly updated with photos and videos of our dogs, and our dogs loved it. They got plenty of walks, and trips to the beach. I’d like to think our dogs missed us, but honestly, they seemed to enjoy their carers attention.
Our home was spotless upon our arrival home, dogs happy and everything as it should be.
Glenn and Jacqueline truly cared for our boys, and gave them the best love and attention anyone could have asked for.
Hoping, we can ask them again in the future to sit, and would genuinely recommend them.
Margaret and Peter ~ Skye, Australia (February 2018)
Two beautiful people who have made us extremely happy. We can now go on holidays anytime knowing our two girls (Mindy & Lilly) will be walked, fed, brushes, loved and cared for 24 hours a day by two loving people.When we arrived home, the house and garden were immaculate, roses on the table. Our dogs said “hello” and then they went back to Glenn and Jacqueline for more cuddles. It can’t get any better than this.
Alannah and James ~ Singapore, Singapore (February 2018)
We recently had Glenn and Jacqueline stay in our home in Singapore and take care of our plants and fish. The sit was for a few days while we were away on holidays during Chinese New Year. Glenn and Jacqueline made it easy and comfortable from the beginning. We were in regular contact through Skype, emails, and messages before, during and after the sit. They were very friendly and I enjoyed talking with them. We would be extremely happy to have them sit for us again. They left the place spotless which was lovely to come home to after being away and the plants looked great and the fish were happy. I highly recommend them to anyone, even though they had a good reputation, they still exceeded our expectations.
Steve and Mary ~ Chiang Mai, Thailand (January 2018)
We arranged with Jacqueline and Glenn to stay in our house in Chiang Mai for 8 days at the end of January 2018, including caring for our 2 cats. This was the second sit they have done for us.
The day before we left, one of our cats went missing and we had to leave Glenn and Jacqui with the task of scouring the neighbourhood and putting up flyers about our missing cat. Unfortunately, Jacqui found our girl deceased about 2 days later. Jacqui and Glenn contacted us and were very sympathetic dealing with us and the loss of our cat. Glenn arranged to bury her in a favourite part of our yard and Jacqui even went out and purchased living plants to put on the grave. They certainly went above and beyond what should have been required of them in a very stressful time for us and for them. It is probably the worst possible event that could occur for housesitters to have to deal with, but they dealt with it calmly, efficiently and with empathy. We cannot thank them enough for what they did to lessen the stress for us.
Our other cat, Jack, just adores Jacqui and Glenn. He has been cared for by them previously and he went straight to them when they came to us the day before we left.
We would certainly recommend Glenn and Jacqueline to anybody looking for competent house and pet sitters. We will definitely use them again in the future, if they are available.
