  • I am a single person and have only recently transferred to Brisbane from Adelaide for work and can begin house sitting immediately.
    I am in no rush in finding my own place, as I do not know Brisbane at all and want to ensure that I find the right area to reside in before buying my own home.

    I am employed as a Public Servant with a Government department which requires an annual police/security check for employment.
    I am very neat, trustworthy, reliable person and would be happy to help out those who need pets & gardens looked after whilst they are away.

  • 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 on Sunday, quicker than I expected and am therefore homeless early September. 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.

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

    I am a mature woman, experienced house sitter, and just completed housesitting roles in Springwood and Manly areas in Brisbane.
    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, named Rascal, who loved to chase balls and sit on the deck to welcome me home. My cat's name was Igor, named after pianist Igor Stravinsky. Igor 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 am available Now until 21 August 08.
    I can be contacted on phone # 0422 396 033.

  • We are homeowners ourselves and will look after your house as our own. We've been married 36 years. We like all animals, particularly dogs.
    Saving money on accommodation, while useful, is not the prime reason to 'house sit'. We want to 'live' in Australia for a short time rather than just holiday. We have relatives and friends who live in Brisbane so we have contacts should help be needed.
    We will pay for our own 'phone calls.

  • Hi Homeowners,
    We are in the process of removing and rebuilding so are looking for alternate accommodation for long term periods. Prior to getting married we had both owned our own properties and also rented. We are both professional people (I'm currently taking a break to raise our young son) and very reliable and responsible. We would care for your home and your pets (no cats - Torsten is allergic) as if they were our own. With me being home with the baby offers additional security as your home would always have someone around even during the day. I have lived on acreage property before and enjoy gardening so you can be assured your plants will also be tended to.
    We would prefer northside of Brisbane but would happily consider any area in a 10klm radius (approx).
    I have house sat before for friends of my parents when they were overseas, looking after the home, garden, dog and fish for 7 weeks.
    Please feel free to call me to discuss your needs and expectations.

We are not sure what we want to do next and would like to look after different homes in different settings for quite some time. We don't mind one or two dogs or cats and country/ beach or town properties would be fine.  Not too fussed about gardening though! We have looked after a friend's property and managed holiday resorts, as well as our own Bed and Breakfast, since retiring from our careers as teachers.

  • 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 questions, we are here to help!
    We are reliable, trustworthy non - smokers. We are available to housesit from the beginning of October onwards in Brisbane or on the Gold Coast.
    We are a careful, mature couple who will respectfully housesit your home and love your precious pets in Australia while you enjoy a much deserved break this year. 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!

    We are both reliable clean and tidy non smokers/ only seldom socially drinkers, who have experience with tending gardens as well.
    It is important to us, that you will have a good feeling about your home during your absence and anticipate returning to your well kept pets, house and garden.
    We want to take the chance of meeting friendly people, learning about a different culture and new exciting continent. So we decided to travel the coast of Australia and New Zealand. Housesitting is a wonderful possibility to get to know the real Australian way of life.
    We love nature, walking, swimming reading, architecture, theatre and visiting museums.
    We are happy to provide references and also a police-check on request. Please send an e-mail and we can discuss your needs and concerns. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

  • I'm an experienced housesitter, having done stints of up to a month for home owners whom I've met both via this site and through friends and work. In all cases, I've looked after their animals and their homes with TLC, including big walks with dogs! Though still youthful, I'm well past the point of crazy parties, and would rather spend the weekend getting some fresh air outdoors, or curled up on a couch with a good book.
    My situation is that I'm settled in Brisbane with a professional job. In between housesitting, I'm staying with my parents and am therefore open to housesitting assignments both long and short.

  • Hi! My name is Morgan Bell and my wife Lorena and I have recently (1yr ago)  moved back to Australia. I have been living and working overseas for the past 15 years. I am Australian and my wife and I have settled in Brisbane to be close to my parents who live on the Sunshine Coast. I have a full time job with Clubs Queensland, situated in Northgate.
    My wife and I are very responsible people and love animals. We don't have pets nor children, but would be thrilled to be surrogate parents to someone's cat/s or dog/s while they are away.  I grew up on a hobby farm on the Sunshine Coast, where I had to take care of cats, dogs, chickens, pigs, cows, horses...well, you get the picture.
    Earlier in my career I worked as a Queensland Police Officer, then moved overseas to travel and ended up living and working in Japan as a Senior Editor of a lifestyle magazine then as an Advertising Copywriter for Japan's largest ad agency. My wife and I met in Japan, where she had been living for 10 years.  We both speak Japanese.
    We are both adjusting to life back in Australia, and have been sharing a house with a close friend who had been kind enough to put us up for the year we have been back.
    Our living situation has afforded us the luxury of not having to purchase furniture and the like, so at a time where we are thinking of moving out of our current location to gain some privacy, house-sitting seems like a great fit for us, and hopefully for you.
    We are open to short and long-term sits. A short-term sit over Christmas would give us some time to ourselves while keeping our roots and few possessions at my friend's place (in Clayfield).  A long-term sit somewhere conducive for me commuting to work would be even better. I'm happy to be anywhere up to 20kms from Northgate, excluding anywhere on the South side of Brisbane that would require commuting over the gateway bridge or South-East freeway. (I also value my sanity ..lol)
    We are very neat, tidy and responsible people, and would love to give you peace of mind that your house and pets are in good hands while you are away enjoying yourself.
    Please don't hesitate to contact me to talk in person. My number is 0408 186 831, or at work on 3319 0666. Morgan Bell
