  • We are a married couple who have been sitting full-time for over two and a half years now and therefore have some excellent references.
    We will care for your homes, gardens and pets.
    We are both non-drinkers and non-smokers and have a background of working in caring fields (disability and aged care).
    We ran a holiday farm for several years and managed some holiday apartments by the sea.
    We are experienced with a large variety of animals (both inside and out) and would love to care for yours. They will have lots of extra attention. Let us know what animals you have and we'll let you know how our experience matches your needs.
    We have been doing many sits in South Australia since August 2007 and now in Queensland doing a variety of sits. We still have some gaps in our schedule.
    We are happy to discuss both short or long term sits.

  • We are a professional couple who have been ex-pats many times over. We have lived in the US, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore as well as Australia (Melbourne).
    We are relocating to Brisbane and require 6 months to decide whether we rent or buy.
    We are very specific about our living conditions. We are discerning home owners who could only live in a house (it must be a home) that is clean, well ordered and loved by its owners.
    We are pet lovers of particularly dogs. Gardens are lovely but only if someone else does the hard maintenance (good task masters of contract gardeners!). Pool maintenance must be done by a professional! It must be easy to commute to Turbot St (river end).
    We are extremely clean people who pride ourselves on our high standards of home maintenance. (if anything goes wrong we will have it fixed for you).
    We will keep very close contact with you re any issues.

  • RETIRED, RESPONSIBLE, ANIMAL LOVING, PROFESSIONAL COUPLE WHO LOVE A CHANGE OF SCENERY. EXPERIENCED SITTERS

    We are fortunate to be an early retired couple with successful careers and home-ownership behind us.
    Ric is a former Journalist and Foreign Correspondent who ran newsrooms in various places and for the last few years worked as a lecturer part-time at QUT University in Brisbane. Gill was a senior Fashion Buyer for a large UK company, but became more interested in working with organisations that do some good in the community.

    We jumped off the treadmill relatively early, met 12-years ago in South America while we were doing voluntary work, and have been managing to balance our lives ever since with some less stressful paid work, voluntary work and lots of travel.
    We are fit, healthy, tidy, non-smoking, and reasonably handy around house and garden.  We feel equally comfortable in big cities and the bush and like to divide our time between the two.
    We genuinely like animals of all sorts - having grown up with dogs, cats, sheep and the odd budgie but our desire to keep travelling through our fifties and onwards means we can't keep our own pets.
    As travel and change are a big part of our lives, we are pretty flexible about times and places.  We have a 4WD with a slide-on camper that takes us just about anywhere around Australia.  We spent last year in the Grampians, Victorian Alps, Adelaide, Woodend - Victoria, Sunshine Coast and Brisbane.
    Having sold our home, we are trying a number of new locations around Australia before deciding where we would like to buy again.
    We are honest and reliable and will look after your home, garden and loved pets with genuine care and respect.
    We would be happy to provide references and any other information you require.  As we're often travelling out of phone signal, please Email us and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

  • Hi, we are a '30's' professional gay couple with a young daughter.  We are currently finishing a development, where we will live upon completion. We have been staying with friends while under construction, however they have unexpectedly sold their house. We thought that this could be a good alternative to organising a short term rental.
    We are very clean, tidy and respectful and would treat any home like it was our own. We have a housekeeper, and nanny (not live in). We are animal lovers, but don't have any ourselves. We would take really good care of any home, garden and pet (s).
    We are both non smokers and healthy, fit people.
    We would be really pleased to meet anyone for a coffee to discuss our suitability further.

  • Greetings and Thanks for Reading my Advertisement!
    I am a 40 yo single male looking for house-sitting positions throughout S/E Qld.
    My usual work is as a church pastor, though for the next two years I am taking a sabbatical to work on a Theological/Christian book I hope to publish in the near future. I am about 1/4 the way through it.
    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 with animals all my life 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 and promise to pamper them and exercise them daily, according to your specific needs.
      *I promise to treat your home with the utmost care, keeping it neat 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 for your security and peace of mind.
    Since I work from home on my laptop and have my research books 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 where I work. Thus, rural or city living is fine :)
    I have a house sit now until August 2010 and am available again from then onwards.
    I am an experienced house-sitter and have references as well.
    Please email 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

Ages

  • Are you planning a holiday?
    Would you like your home cared for responsibly by an experienced Home Manager?

    I am a mature female experienced housesitter and have completed housesitting roles over the last 2 years in many areas of Brisbane and Gold Coast, e.g. Manly, Springwood, Mt Gravatt, Cleveland, Thornlands and Ormeau to name a few.
    I am a retired Office Manager/ Executive having worked all my adult life in this profession and in many industries, at senior management level. I have needed to be very organised and methodical in my approach to my work and this has carried over into my home life. You can be sure that your home will be managed accordingly, well-maintained and safe. I am very conscious of security issues as I have been in my home and will treat your home in the same manner. I have also served as a 'home organiser' for friends, family, etc as my skills have become known.
    I operate as a volunteer in hospitals and aged care facilities and am able to do this work in any area. I am a holder of a "Blue Card" having had all the thorough police checks and have excellent references. I am an animal lover having grown up with dogs and cats, at different stages in my life, as well as having my own, both dog and cat, in my adult life. Both have now, sadly, passed away and I do miss them. My dog was an Australian terrier who loved to chase balls and sit on the deck to welcome me home. My cat was a dear pet who loved to survey his kingdom from the vantage point of his servant’s lap (i.e. me) while I was employed in the job of stroking his body. Both were dearly loved and are sadly missed. Over the last two years of caring for homes and pets, I have also, on occasion, been called on to provide care to elderly parents of home owners which I have enjoyed.
    I am a non-smoker, have no dependent children, my own vehicle and am able to come to meet with you for discussion of your housesitting situation. I enjoy pottering around the garden so garden maintenance is a pleasure for me and I will be a presence in your home during your absence.
    I am available for short or long terms house-sitting situations.
    I have excellent references to show my care of homes and pets from homeowners whose properties and animals I have been honoured to have been entrusted with. Both your property and pets will be in the best of hands.
    I look forward to hearing from you.

Occupation:
Primary School teacher
Ages 50
  • Hi. My name is Paul.
    As my headline says, I am a mature age (fifty years old) Primary School teacher. I was an industrial electrician for half my career. So, I know how to look after things and maintain your home and yard in pristine condition. I suppose you could say that I am the perfect house husband.
    I am very meticulous with cleaning. I actually supported myself through university by being a domestic cleaner.
    The reason(s) why I am wanting to house sit are:
    a) My two children are now in their early twenties and have their own lives and homes.
    b) I had been working in Far North Qld and am considering returning north again in 2011
    c) I am currently sharing accommodation and a friend suggested that I would be perfect for anyone who wanted their house looking after.
    I can provide references that attest to my loyalty and discretion. I am an extremely responsible person and respect other s property, wants and needs.
    Oh, I am single. I've been divorced for the last ten years and have concentrated on my teaching career. I do socialise but prefer to put my energies into my students, my personal development, my fitness, and my grandson.
    And I grew up (in Tasmania on farms) around all sorts of animals and have a good rapport. I will definitely look after any animal or pet you have.
    I certainly prefer to do long-term sitting.

    The majority of my work is done on campus and I lead a very quiet home life.  I am very social but prefer privacy at home, so there is no need to worry about young riff-raff invading your home on the weekends.
    I am very tidy, responsible and respectful of others property.
    I am very fit and active so I am more than happy to look after pets and pot plants and maintain your home while you are away.
    I am looking ideally for longer term house sitting at locations close to central Brisbane, but will consider any requests.
    If you would like to know more please contact me by email or phone.  Email would be preferable as I check it several times daily.
    I look forward to hearing from you.

  • Mavis and John have had 5 house sitters in the past, and all have been very good. Brian and Mary White (ad. listed below) have done it twice for us, and they have convinced us that we should do it too. So here's the start of our escaping Warwick's winter cold.
    We are two very fit (jog each day), pet-loving, garden loving people who built their own beautiful home, and, through firm family upbringings, have learned to appreciate what they (and other people) own. We have 3 children - a daughter (nurse) at the Gold Coast, a daughter (lecturer)  in Melbourne, and a son (hydrosurveyor) based in Brisbane.
    Mavis was a Home Economics/ Hospitality teacher, now plays bridge, and dotes on the 3 grandchildren, making them wall-hangings, quilts etc.
    John was an Industrial Arts/Art teacher, ex AFL player, ex golfer, marathon runner, and now coaches bowls as well as helping Bowls Qld. accredit prospective coaches. John also helps as a volunteer at Blue Care.
    We are both non-smokers and are almost teetotallers.
    Brian and Mary White have said they would certainly be a referee for us. (see their phone # and email with their ad.
    We now look forward to helping others with their house-sitting like we have been helped on previous occasions.

  • Dear homeowner,
    We are an active, non-smoking, reliable couple who are highly regarded by owners of the numerous homes and pets we have cared for (references will be provided on request).
    With three years experience in house-sitting we have cared for gardens, pools, birds, chooks, cats and an assortment of much loved dogs. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Social Science degree at the university of the Sunshine Coast and John has been in Procurement and Distribution management.
    We have been on a journey, having left our substantive positions (myself with the Department of Community Services and John with the Health system in NSW - both requiring security checks) in order to pursue other avenues and opportunities, and began our adventure in Asia where we worked as volunteer teachers in a Cambodian orphanage.  I have used the past three years to study and we have enjoyed the housesitting experience so much that we have decided to continue for the time being.
    We have owned homes and pets (including poodles, Doberman, cats, aviary of cockatiels, chooks etc) and maintained our own vegie and native gardens, and understand the value of caring for a home. We love animals and bond quickly with them, we are clean living, house proud people and we treat the homes and possessions of others with a great deal of care and respect.
    We have excellent references from all previous house sits, as well as character references.  We are happy to supply a bond if required and we look forward to hearing from you if you are interested in having us care for your homes, pets etc.
    Kind regards, Vickie and John

  • Alan is British and I (Katherine) am Australian. After a three year international romance, we will be married in New York in two weeks' time. At the moment we are living in London but plan to leave here in early November 2009 to travel to India for two months (where we met) before returning to Australia in March 2010 to make my settlement application (so that I can live and work in the UK). The application process may take up to five months but averages three. We would like to housesit while we await the outcome of the application.
    I have travelled Australia widely but Alan has only visited Sydney so we would like to take this opportunity so that Alan can experience another part of Australia.
    We are both fit, active, practical and industrious people who keep a clean, well-maintained house and we both adore dogs. Alan feels the same about cats but unfortunately I am allergic to them!
    Neither of us have housesat before but we can easily provide personal references and I can also offer a real estate reference from a previous long-term tenancy in Bellevue Hill, Sydney.
    We can be reached by the home number until the beginning of November 2009. After that you can call Alan's blackberry: +447957628157 (UK number) or my mobile: 0412 894 134 (Aust number). Aside from these numbers either of the email addresses, listed below, will reach us. We look forward to looking after your home!

  • 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.

  • Hello. My Husband and I currently live in Marin County, just north of San Francisco. My husband works about 45-50 hours a week as a Controller for a small firm in San Rafael and I take care of our two children 4 years and 8 months.
    My family lives in the Sunshine Coast area. Last week my sister and her husband received the shocking news that their eldest boy Thomas, who is 5 years, has Leukaemia. He is currently having chemotherapy in Brisbane Hospital and could be in and out of hospital for quite awhile. (Potentially years).
    Needless to say I feel it is essential to be in Brisbane to help my family in this difficult time.
    We do not own a house here and could not afford double rent.
    We have wonderful references from all of our landlords and some say we leave the place looking better than when we move in.

  • Hi. I'm a fit 64 year old. retired  business owner. I had my own business making and selling all types of chocolates. After a few years I got sick and tied of the government and all their paperwork. So with a friend I spent 5 years working my way around good ole Auz. I worked on farms, outback stations, and in factory's. Had the best time ever. Now I am trying to be an author. Even though at the present moment I do not have any animals but, I have had cats, dogs, a horse, birds and believe it or not ants. I love being around them as they bring you peace and happiness. I do not smoke, or have wild parties. Love gardening, and have designed a few. Sitting out under the stars at night I think is the best thing in the world to do.
    The house sitting job I have at the moment was given to me because the cat liked me.
    Please feel free to ring me any time and I will be only too happy to answer any questions that you might have.
    Have a great day, Betty

  • We're building our new dream home (maybe 8-10 months to completion) so we're available to look after your home for you. We're non-smokers, non-drinkers, with old-fashioned standards of honesty, integrity and trustworthiness. We're fit, healthy and experienced in maintenance and basic upkeep of a home. Russell's skills could possibly save you $$$ if an emergency happens while you're away. What more can we say? Only that your home and garden will be well-cared for while you're gone - everything will be safe. We understand what it means to entrust your valuable possessions to the care of virtual strangers, but you'll be glad you trusted us.
    We have excellent references and a police clearance.
    The only downside is Shirley's extreme allergy to cat fur! Sorry!
    So email or phone us if you'd like to meet us personally, to decide if we're a good choice or not.

  • Hi, I'm Andrew or Andy.
    I'm a new Australian resident and am saving for my first home. I would love to house-sit in the Northern districts area of Brisbane between Hamilton and Northgate.
    I love both cats and dogs and am generally an animal lover. I also will take very good care of plants.
    I work in Pinkenba near the Brisbane Airport as a project support officer 37.5 hours a week, and study at home for a distance-learning course.
    I'm a very tidy and considerate person who is very trustworthy.
    I have a variety of references you may contact about me either from my ex-landlord in New Zealand, my current homestay in Brisbane, to my current employer (Department of Education Training).
    I will treat your property with meticulous care and love and look after your pets as if they were my own.
    I'm happy to meet for an interview to discuss your needs so please contact me - I can assure that you won't be disappointed.
    I appreciate the opportunity.
    Please note that I am going to be away in New Zealand for a week 21-28 June.

  • We are at a stage when we are looking at other options in our life.  We have owned our own home for all our married life some 30 years.  We are looking to buy investment properties and remain a little more flexible to see where we want to settle in the future.  Also Laurel has decided to take on a knew career and is in the process of organising this.
    We have been housesitting for about 1 year now and can provide references if needed.
    We have a philosophy of treating our housesitting homes as though they are our own home.  We believe we are "minimal impact" housesitters.

  • 10YRS EXPERIENCED HOUSE-SIT / PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COUPLE AVAILABLE. MANY REPEATS SEE PHOTOS- "THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE CARE AND AFFECTION YOU BESTOW ON OUR PROPERTIES AND PETS." - This quote of 2008, reflects comments by all the property-owners we've assisted.
    - We've completed assignments in France, Australia, Ireland, England, Switzerland, America, Scotland and Canada. - Our separate online portfolio of assignments plus veterinarian references reflect our ability to occupy/care for prized properties, projects, hospitality retreats with the utmost respect and concern for absentee owners.
    - We're nearing completion of a repeat assignment, caring for an 18th century Irish property, a twin manor property set on several acres. - This has been an annual 7-month long assignment since 2004. The owners relocate to their other homes in Africa and elsewhere, for lengthy periods. Additional photos can be seen at our separate online portfolio - all of these properties and projects required security and accountability for owners on distant shores. Each owner has asked us back for additional property management stints.
    - We relocate to new properties with practiced ease. We both have unblemished driving licenses, if it comes to driving homeowner's vehicles. Currently, a Jaguar and a Hyundai to exercise at this Irish assignment. And yes, we're home-owners too.
    - We're familiar with much of Europe, Australia, and North America, having lived on all three continents for several years. We don't have children or pets if this is of concern to you.
    - We're both NON-SMOKERS and enjoy regular outdoor activities including running, mountain-biking, bush-walking and tennis. Basically staying healthy is our aim while completing assignments, engaging in work projects and stand-in positions. Yes, we've learnt to wear many hats while holding fort, so to speak. Our sailing skills got a good brush off while based by Port Philip Bay in Melbourne Australia in 2008. Our snow-boarding & horse riding skills, have received less practice of late.
    - We relish cooking from the veggie patch, local market produce too and learning regional nuances - one of the rewards of experiencing new environments. We're computer literate, skilled at admin duties and retain a cheerful telephone manner.
    - We're city-security conscious and rural environment friendly. We're energy conscious and maintain a tidy house - it's easy to detect if anything's amiss then.
    - If our property management record matches your needs, please contact us with your particular requirements and for the web-link to our comprehensive online portfolio.
