• 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

• Hello, I am a mature single female who is coming to Brisbane to study nursing for 2 years from July 2009.  Although I will also be working, I aim and hope to do this as much on a budget as possible, which is why house-sitting would be ideal for me.
  I am an active person, I love animals (but have none currently) and would love to care for yours, if you have any. I am an early sleeper and riser, watch very little tv, and will be a busy person for the next 2 years.
  I also like to spend a little time in the garden and would be happy to mow lawns, water plants or tend vegies, etc.
  Feel free to ask me any further questions you might have.

• Currently sitting until August.
  My husband and I are responsible, mature and non-smokers. We are very warm and friendly people.
  I (Lynn) have recently returned from teaching in China and I'm now engaged in a house sitting at Arana Hills. Looking for my next assignment starting from around August 7th onwards. My husband will be returning in the coming weeks.
  We are also online business Entrepreneurs. Myself (Lynn) upon my return from China have spent some time learning the art of Feng Shui. We were very proud house owners before our adventure to teach in China. We have owned and operated a successful Bed and Breakfast business in Hahndorf (Adelaide Hills).

  mind pulling weeds, maintaining the vegie patch and keeping a high standard of the garden.
  We are avid pet lovers. Any pet will be loved and looked after.
  Our daughters live in Brisbane.
  A long term house sitting position would be perfect for us but would consider shorter stays.

• Hi there!  I am a retired teacher returning to lovely Australia after a prolonged working holiday in Europe. I am looking forward to getting back into the Aussie way of life and am wanting to spend a little time investigating the country before I settle down.

• 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 since 2008 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.
  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.

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.

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.

• 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.

• RETIRED, RESPONSIBLE, ANIMAL LOVING, PROFESSIONAL COUPLE WHO LOVE A CHANGE OF SCENERY.
  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 -  (although Gill is not a big fan of mice).... 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've spent the year so far in the Grampians, Victorian Alps, Adelaide 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.

• 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.

• Hi - my name is Cecelia and I am a semi retired Nurse - now I only work 15 hours a week with the Cerebral Palsy League. I am currently doing my fourth "sit" and all the owners are happy to give references and have me return in the future. I also have a Police Clearance Certificate. As well - I cared for a property for 7 months some years ago while the owner was working in China (reference available).
  I am in Brisbane and will remain here - my work is in the Springwood area, so a 50klm radius of there is fine.
  I take pride in being honest, clean, tidy and young and active at 67, as well as responsible and reliable. I don't have any health problems. Recently I rented a property for three years and looked after it as I would my own (Property Managers reference available)
  I come from a rural background West of Toowoomba, and have had years of experience of gardening and animal care - gardening has always been my favourite recreation, and I am used to mowing lawns etc. I have been a city dweller for some years now.
  I have relocated to Brisbane and need time to look around (without the expense of paying rent) before deciding where to buy. However, I am not in a hurry to buy so both long and short term sits are suitable for me.
  Having been a home owner I am aware of the responsibilities of security and maintenance, and the importance of both, re the value of your property.
  I am available for an interview at any time that is convenient for you. I have my own car.
  My references are excellent and I have a Police Clearance.

• We are a vital and energetic retired (recently) couple (early 60s) who have properties in Sydney and Moss Vale NSW and who have until recently always had our own beloved pets. These have included a fox terrier, two Dobermans a UAE desert dog and a cat (Blossom).
  We are investigating a move to Brisbane and would love to have some experience living there before doing so.
  We would of course have our own animals there and so would naturally enjoy house sitting someone else's pets while we are in Brisbane.
  We miss our regular morning and evening walks with our dogs and until we find our new permanent residence and have our own animals we look forward to looking after someone else's.
  We can supply excellent references from both Sydney and Brisbane.
  When it comes to running a house we run a very tight ship and are fastidious about cleanliness and keeping things up to the mark.

• I'm an experienced housesitter who has a soft spot for animals and plants, and enjoys nurturing both.
  I began housesitting after returning from a working holiday overseas. Although I've done short-term housesitting for periods of up to 6 weeks - and can provide references from people whose homes and pets I've cared for - I'd be glad to settle into a longer-term arrangement too.
  I’m a non-smoker and lead a healthy, active lifestyle. I love the outdoors and am more than happy to attend to dog-walking and gardening duties if required.

  I'm working in a professional role in the city and am trying to save a nest egg after paying off university/travel dues. I own a car so being within walking distance of transport to the city is not imperative.
  You can either give me a call or email me if you'd like to get in touch.

• Hi, I am a single 31 year old mature, responsible female looking to house sit for preferably a few months at a time in 2009, to save money for an overseas trip.
  I have had previous house sitting experience in Paris for 2 months (in a one bedroom apartment with a patio garden) and in Brisbane for a large three bedroom house (with a dog and garden that needed maintenance).
  I work full time in an art gallery in Brisbane. I am quiet, health conscious and exercise regularly, so walking dogs if needed would be a pleasure.
  Have been share housing for the past 10 years, renting other people's houses so am very respectful of others' property. Am house proud and like to keep my living area clean and tidy.
  I have had the joy and pleasure of sharing some houses with animals including a beautiful staffie/lab cross for three years who belonged to my flatmate but who I 'adopted' and  took over walking duties!  I have also lived with cats, fish and a lively, talkative parrot.
  I don't have a car and rely on public transport so would be looking to sit in an area near buses and train.
  Look forward to meeting you for a house sit soon!

• I am currently on long service leave from my work in a Commonwealth Government mental health agency which is challenging but satisfying.
  At the moment I am lucky enough to be living my dream and enjoying an amazing 3 months of housesitting in Italy. I have rented my lovely little home (and chooks) to friends from Sydney while I am away. They are in Brisbane for 12 months so will be there until the end of 2009. This leaves me available for housesitting when I return from Italy at the end of March, until the end of the year at least.
  I have also completed house and pet sitting for the proprietor of a Sherwood/Graceville real estate agency on a number of occasions. Please call Moira Dixon on 0411 791990 who will be happy to discuss.
  My housekeeping skills are beautiful as I love a nice environment, and would enjoy having pets for company. I am a non-smoker who likes to live a quiet home centred life.
  Let me know if you think you would like me to look after your home base while you are away. Please email me at below as phone is not available while I am overseas.
  Kind regards Arietta

• Do you have furry family members that don't cope well boarding? Are they used to a level of love and attention that others find difficult to provide? Don't want to leave your home unmonitored and unsafe due to the telltale signs of an empty house?
  If you answered yes to either of the above, we are here to help!
  We are reliable, trustworthy non - smokers. We are available to housesit from February 2009 onwards in Brisbane or Sydney.
  We are a careful, mature couple who will respectfully housesit your home and love your precious pets while you enjoy a much deserved break. This leaves you completely free to enjoy your holiday to the fullest without a care in the world about your greatest asset and beloved pets!
  We spent 7 months last year on a house sitting tour of Australia, and we loved every minute of it. We have shining references that we were very grateful for. We hope you can better them on your return!  I have been a volunteer at the Cat's Protection League as well as our local wildlife park and have felt a strong connection with animals since I was very small. This means your furry family members are in the best possible hands that you could hope for!
  We take the stress off your friends and family to drop over and clear mail, also potentially save you hundreds of dollars in pet boarding or dog walking. If you do a search for 'pet sitter fees Australia' you will get an idea of this cost. With us around there is no need to put furry kids through the distress of boarding or deal with the fear that an unreliable family member may forget to feed or take care of them.
  Our full time job while we are house sitting is to carefully maintain your greatest asset to your exacting standards, which means you are completely free to enjoy your time away without a care in the world. Every day and night we housesit, your home will look lived in, your pets and plants will enjoy the same attention, love and care that they are used to from you. We feel that house sitting provides the perfect solution for all parties, especially pets, plants, gardens and relatives!

• I am house sitting from September 3, to October 20th, so available after the 20th. I have always been a home owner and can appreciate looking after someone else's things and pets.
  ATTENTION HOME OWNERS!
  I have been a home owner all my life so I know what it is like to have people in your home. I am a non smoker and a non drinker. I do not have a pet. I am also self employed and see the correlation to home owner and renter and business owner and employee. People do not in general look after a  house the same as if it was one they owned and in business people usually do not work the same as if they owned the company.
  My house was sold recently, quicker than I expected and am therefore homeless. I have yet to decide where I want to buy and feel that if I try homesitting for awhile, it  might help to make my mind up on what suburb suits me. I am a single parent with a 10 year old daughter.
  I am able to supply references if requested.
