Running a house and pet sitting business means depending on a handful of things you rarely think about until they stop working: the website, the systems behind it, and the technology everyone uses day to day. We get asked often enough who looks after ours, so here it is in one place.

Who we’d point you to

If you’re after any of this for your own business, these are the people we’d suggest starting with:

• Elite Dev — web development and AI automation for small business.
• Sites Crafted — website design and build.
• SEO Excellence — SEO and digital marketing.
• Secure Nerds — managed IT and cyber security.

Day-to-day computer and IT help

For the ordinary things — a machine that won’t start, email that stops working, WiFi that drops out, a new device that needs setting up properly — the team we’d recommend is Geeks IT. They operate around the country, with local technicians in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra.

Nothing here is a paid endorsement — just where we’d point someone who asked.
