House sitting Brisbane

Brisbane is the capital and most populous city in sunny Queensland, Australia. While house sitting in Brisbane take a stroll throughout the lovely city and enjoy the sites along the Brisbane River, South Bank, the Shrine of Remembrance and the impressive Story Bridge.
Brisbane is named after the river on which it sits which, in turn, was named after Scotsman Sir Thomas Brisbane, the Governor of New South Wales from 1821 to 1825. The first European settlement in Queensland was a penal colony at Redcliffe, 28 kilometres north of the Brisbane CBD, in 1824. That settlement was soon abandoned and moved to North Quay in 1825. Free settlers were permitted from 1842. Brisbane was chosen as the capital when Queensland was proclaimed a separate colony from NSW in 1859.
The city played a central role in the Allied campaign during World War II as the South West Pacific headquarters for General Douglas MacArthur.
Brisbane has hosted many large cultural and sporting events including the 1982 Commonwealth Games, World Expo '88 and the final Goodwill Games in 2001.
House sitting Brisbane Australia is a great way to see the sites at your leisure.

Occupation: Builder / Legal Secretary
Ages 65 & 59

• Experienced sitters
  I am a legal secretary, for the past 20 years working for a Queen's Counsel in Christchurch. I am now working for a law firm in Brisbane. My husband, Peter, is a retired builder, who had been involved in the building industry for over 40 years running his own business.
  We spent a year in Australia having bought our fox terrier 11 year and our cat of 15 years over with us. While in Australia we had to put our cat down due to cancer. We returned to N.Z taking with us our foxie and a very neglected 10 year old Labrador we adopted while in Australia. In the 18 months we were in N.Z. we lost both our dogs to cancer. Our Labrador had a wonderful year with us going to work every day with Peter and Tezza our foxie and lots of walks in the pine forest.
  We returned to Australia in June 2010 to house sit and also to look after a couples dog while they were away for 5 months.
  We returned back to New Zealand January of this year and because of the earthquakes in Christchurch have only just returned in September.
  We are at present house sitting in Brisbane and available again 17th July 2012.
  Due to not now having pets of our own, we are very interested in minding a house with pets as we are avid pet lovers.
  We hope that this is of interest to future house sitting positions.
  We have references available. Thanking you

• Originally from Sydney, where apprentice Fitter+Turner with British Leyland and later Jackarooed in Riverina. My first caretake a Bathurst farm before many years in WA working. Live-in Caretaker for Parry Wines from 86 until 92. Where I'd built a small m/c business and worked it until I opted (20 yrs down-the-track) for many Caretaking & House-Sitting positions in and around Perth Hills 97-01.
  Drove to Qld SSC 2002, bought a house & owned a Hire Equipment business for 8 yrs.
  I've decided to sell-up & widen my horizons after death of favoured pet, being a keen fisherman yet in Qld SSC with the possibility of venturing into NSW Northern Rivers or Gold Coast depending on what I find.
  However currently in my home [in flood-proof hinterland] and looking to move-out by the end of month. Owned this home for 10 yrs and have a wish to live near the coast again. Currently; No Pets of my own.
  But I have lots of Equipment: pumps, pressure cleaners, mulchers, + much more.
  Citizens around the town where I live are used to seeing me brush cutting weeds & tall grasses around Govt buildings and verges where council won't. All part of a 'neat & tidy' philosophy I live by. I figure I'll do it because nobody else will....

• Experienced sitter.
  Hi, I am a 27 year old female who has been working out in Longreach for the past year and a half. I have now just returned to Brisbane and have been housesitting for over a month and a half. I'm really enjoying it and would like to continue on.
  I will be working out the southside of Brisbane near Mt. Gravatt, so I would be keen to keep to that side of town if that is possible, but open to discussion of other areas :)
  I have referees of my previous housesitting positions which would gladly give a personal reference for me.
  I'm a very clean and tidy person. Also, I am an animal lover and would look after your pets as my own!
  Feel free to give me a call..
  Cheers, Kristyn.

• Hello we are from Smithton in Tasmania and we are travelling around this big beautiful country in our caravan. We have 3 adult children who are in Melbourne, Perth and Tasmania.
  We owned and ran a successful dairy farm for 25 years until we sold it back in 2001. Since then Nicky has been the school groundsman at the local primary school and I have been at the local ANZ bank.
  We decided it was time for us to throw caution to the wind and get out and see Australia first hand. At this particular time we are visiting our son in Perth.
  We are honest, reliable and hard working. We love animals and would look after your house like it was our own.

• Last year I moved back from the UK to Australia to settle back into Australian life before my husband moves over here in May, 2012. We are planning to sell our property in the UK but know this will take a little time. We are unsure where we wish to settle in Brisbane and felt that housesitting would allow us time to be thoughtful around our decision.
  My husband and I are very responsible, professional, honest and hardworking people with good values and we would treat your home with the upmost care, respect and consideration. We love animals and would be very happy to care for your pets and tend to their needs! As we would also do with your house and gardens!

• Andy & I are a mature, healthy, happy, dependable, & caring couple with a good sense of humour. Andy was born in Australia & we are keen to emigrate to Brisbane in the next few years. We dearly want to experience living there & since we are saving for the Big Move a house sit is ideal. We are both UK based Airline Pilots & are one year married - non-smokers, extremely honest, hard working, and trustworthy. We enjoy the outdoors & the simple things in life such as reading & long walks.
  We are ideally looking for House Sit in North Brisbane ideally for 4 weeks but can do anything between the above dates. (We're also keen to do a similar 3 week house sit each October & February/March in the coming years.)
  Choosing strangers to housesit is a bit daunting. Andy & I own our own home in Ireland - we are clean & tidy & you can be assured your property, its contents and surrounds would be well cared for. This will be our first experience house sitting so we do not have references from previous home owners, but we both hold Airside Security Passes & so have had extensive criminal record & background checks done on us, and can provide excellent references in addition.
  We are a considerate & good-natured couple who guarantee to give your home the care & respect you would expect and more. We are both huge dog lovers & are hoping to find a house sit with doggies to look after! You can depend on us to provide a caring and loving environment for your pets & care for the property and gardens as we would our own. Andy particularly is very practical - he enjoys gardening & would take pleasure in doing any odd jobs you may need looked at while you are away.
  It would be lovely to meet you before your date of departure so you can ensure we are nice people, so that we can meet any pets & so you can brief us on what is needed while you are away. Then it can be a quick handover the day you depart as the last thing you need before catching a flight etc is a get to know you session! We will not make phone calls during our stay (it's a switch off period of Andy & Jo time!) & we will use power and water as economically as we can. The day you arrive home we will have a cuppa ready for you but be fully ready to get going & give you the space you need on your return home. Our aim will be to hand back the keys to a sparklingly clean home & pets sad to see us go but pleased their family is home.
  So looking forward to hearing from you.

• I have had extensive experience caring for others and doing full time volunteer work for The salvation Army and for Military Veterans. I own two homes of my own, one which I have rented so I know the value of a good carer / tenant.
  I own a dog which gets treated with intense TLC, much to my wife's chagrin at times. She is a very senior nurse with an intense job so we find time apart is beneficial for both of us. Naturally, she would visit and assist me during her breaks.
  I prefer warmer climes, but if you are lovely people (as I'm sure you are) I'd be delighted to help you out.

• Greetings and Thanks for Reading my Advertisement!
• I am a 42 yo single male with no dependents looking for house-sitting positions throughout S/E QLD. I originally come from NZ though left there in 2004.
  My usual work is in church ministry, with my last role as a youth pastor for 4 1/2 years. Though for the past two years I have been working full-time on a comprehensive Christian book, which I am hoping to publish in the near future. I am still about 1 year away from finishing.
  I pride myself as a clean, tidy and considerate, non-smoker and non-drinker, of sound mind, good habits and in good health.
  I have grown up my whole life with animals and love their company. I am good in the garden and have a sound knowledge of a gardens requirements.
  If you chose me to house sit, I pledge the following:
  *I would not invite anyone around to your house.
  *I would take great care of your pets, promising to pamper them and exercise them daily, according to your specific needs.
  *I promise to treat your home with the utmost care, keeping it clean and tidy at all times.
  *I am happy to do domestic duties which you require such as watering plants, mowing the lawns, gardening maintenance, collecting mail, vacuuming, dusting and cleaning, plus other responsibilities as per your requirements.
  *I am happy to issue a deposit of $1000 for your security and peace of mind.
  Since I work from home on my laptop and have my research materials with me, I can ensure all-day company for your animals and provide round the clock security for your home.
  I am currently in Brisbane and my work allows me flexibility to work practically anywhere. Thus, I am fine with both a rural or city setting :)
  I would prefer sits of at least 3 weeks plus as it can be disorientating to move too often.
• I am an experienced house-sitter and have excellent references as well.
  Please email me or call my mobile and I will promptly get back to you.
  Thanks very much and I look forward to hearing from you! Your's sincerely, Jeremy.

• I realise it is very difficult to select someone to look after your home and beloved pets. I am a retired single lady living in Noosaville, Queensland. I have 3 children, 2 living near me here with 2 wonderful grandsons and I have another son living in Dubai. I moved from Sydney 2 years ago after working in Environmental Management at State Forests of NSW for 13 years. Prior to my leaving Sydney I finished a 3 year Adv Diploma in Counselling. I lived on the northern beaches and loved to sail on Pittwater for many years. I was a committee member of the Royal Motor Yacht Club for 4 years.
  I have come to Sydney on several occasions to house sit for the Cruise Captain of the yacht club. Written or verbal references can be easily obtained.
  I lived in outback NSW on large properties for 22 years and thus have had many different animals all of which I lovingly cared for.
  I am an honest, reliable, practical and very capable person with a good sense of humour.

  Hi, We are a retired but active couple living on the Coromandel Peninsula, NZ following forty years in the Auckland suburb of Howick. We are both involved in community volunteer work and our hobbies are bowling, walking, reading and music.. We are moderate drinkers and non-smokers.
  We have provided house sitting - including pet care and garden maintenance - for families in both NZ and Australia and can provide testimonials if required.
  We have immediate family in Queensland and Auckland and 'sitting' within striking distance of Southport, QLD would enable us to enjoy time with family and grandchildren.
  We can offer credibility, experience and integrity.

• Lesley and I are currently in the UK, but hold permanent residence visas for Australia and will be coming to live there after April 2012. We originally hoped to be there in 2010, but the recent devaluation of the Pound against the Aussie forced us to delay. But hey! - it gives us a great opportunity to help out with house sits.
  Ideally, we would love to be within reach to visit our son and his family in Paddington. We are both non-smokers and keep a clean and tidy home with emphasis on security at all times. Our promise is that we would treat your home with respect and as carefully as we do our own.
  Lesley has a special interest in flowers and plants and currently does voluntary work in the produce garden of a nearby national heritage property. We share home garden maintenance to keep fit as we can - Lesley also does high energy dance fitness and exercise yoga four or five times a week. We both cycle and walk in our spare time and welcome any opportunity to get involved in local community activities.
  Over the years we have kept our own dogs but we do miss their company now, especially as our work commitments have reduced, and we have looked after our son's two ridgebacks on recent visits. If you choose us to sit for you, then you can be sure that your pets will be in a loving environment while you are away.
  We were required to undergo UK police checks as part of our migrant visa application. Our standards of integrity and trustworthiness are of the "old world" - taken for granted - and you can be safe in the knowledge that you will return to a home that has been appreciated and well cared for in your absence.

• We are an Aussie couple living in Papua Indonesia. Russell works for Freeport Indonesia as a Technical Expert Underground Maintenance.
  We are looking for house sitting from time to time when we come back to Australia. Sometimes it will be both and sometimes just Kerrie.
  We own two properties near Noosa on the Sunshine coast that are currently rented. Our main home is on 3 acres which we landscaped and established vege gardens as well as dragon fruit. We also have a fibreglass salt water pool so experienced with pool care.
  We love animals and recently had to put down our 14 year old border collie, Tilly due to old age just before we moved. Heartbreaking! We both grew up on farms in the Snowy Mountains near Cooma and have experience with sheep, cattle and horses.
  We are interested in house sitting in Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
  Cats, birds and especially chooks are also loved by us and we miss our brood terribly.
  We are looking for sitting at most times of the year for a break from our highland home and a pet fix as we live in a unit on the second floor.

  G'day, My name is Suzanne but I prefer to be called, Sue. I am wanting to save for my first home, and would like to live on the Sunshine Coast, that is why I have chosen this area to housesit. I am mature (don't go out partying) I'm a non smoker, I am neat and tidy, and will respect your house and contents, and look after your pets as if they were my own.
  My work involves being in other peoples houses, cleaning, and providing other personal services. As such, I have a current police check, and two references.
  I am trustworthy, honest, and reliable. I understand, that people need to have their house kept the way they left it... ie, things put back how they are found, and keeping things clean, and tidy.
  I am an active person, and love to be outdoors, so walking dogs will be an enjoyable activity for me, and help me to keep fit. I also enjoy the company of puddy cats, and will be happy to do garden maintenance, and mowing lawns.
  I am hoping to get a long term sit. (six months, or longer) However, I will take shorter ones as well. I am available to start immediately.
  Looking forward to being an excellent house sitter for someone soon.
  Kind Regards, Sue.
