BRIEF PROFILE
We are a retired couple from Tasmania, Australia. Liisa 60 & David 66, we are both healthy, active & non smokers
Before retiring in 2005 we owned and operated our own business, employing 9 people, the business was successful, well known and respected in the community, but.. we decided it was time to see Australia & the world. We enjoy travel & have travelled extensively. House swapping was our first foray into living in other owner’s homes; this was a great way to holiday. We started house sitting at the suggestion of a friend, that was 3 years ago, we have been on the go ever since. We absolutely love doing what we do, neither of us ever imagined after 3 years we would still be here house sitting, it’s our plan to continue for another 3 or 4 year
…..

ANIMALS

To whom it may concern
My wife and I recently obtained the services of professional house sitters, David and Liisa Dart to caretake our 160 acre property at Lake Eacham on the Atherton Tablelands in Far North Queensland. We were travelling overseas on business for one month and relied on David and Liisa to look after our property, take care of our 2 working kelpie dogs and maintain our 70 head of Brangus cattle. All of this they did in admirable fashion.
Even though they had had little experience in animal husbandry, they willing took on this part of the house sit and managed the breeding herd as though they had been on working properties all their lives. Upon our return it was a pleasure to find the house and property extremely well maintained with a high level of care and respect.
We would highly recommend them as professional and responsible house sitters and we would dearly love to have David and Liisa return to look after our house and property again in the future.
If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us on the telephone numbers below.
Yours sincerely,
