• I am a mature aged lady who seeks housesitting assignments around Australia, preferably in areas with easy access to rivers, beaches or bush, but not essential. Happy for long or short term assignments.
  Previously a home owner for 20+ years I certainly appreciate the importance of looking after another person's home and pets.
  I am a non-smoker, seldom drinker and while previously a corporate professional, I now lead a spiritually focused life enjoying nature and harmonious lifestyle. Organised, clean, tidy, reliable and responsible, I can provide whatever references you need.

• We are a family with almost 3yrs old twin boys looking to housesit between Monday 8th of March till beginning of April in the Warrandyte area. Due to renovations we had to move out of our house.
  my husband is project manager, an I'm looking after our boys (organising their therapies)
  The reason we look to find an accommodation in the area is because we have twin boys who have a chromosomal abnormality, so with special needs and we have almost everyday therapies. Also with the renovations, I have to see often the works, to get material, to check the evolution...
  At the moment we are staying with my mum in law in Bunyip which is not practical. Finding a place in the Warrandyte area would be fantastic.
  I think we can consider ourself as an organised, clean and respectful family.

• 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.

• I'm a 37 year flight attendant and I take great pride in where I live.  I am a home owner in Adelaide and I have recently relocated back to my home town Melbourne. If I was chosen to look after your residence, it would be taken care of like it was my own asset.
  As a flight attendant I work long hours but I am home every night. I don't have much time to socialise so I would ideally like to live close to the city so I have entertainment, restaurants and cafes close by. I absolutely love animals and would be happy to look after your pet too!
  I hope I can be a house minder for you in the future.

• Hi. My name is Jodie and I am an experienced housesitter, seeking a house to look after while I am building a house of my own in Bacchus Marsh. I am a 33 year old professional female, with a reputation for taking the utmost care in my housesitting duties.
  I absolutely love the company of animals and gardens, and have experience caring for a variety of animals, from tiny cats through to Great Danes! I also have experience with animals who have special needs, including those requiring medication.
  Formerly a teacher, I am currently studying a PhD at the University of Melbourne (on a double scholarship), and also work as an academic/editor part-time. I mostly work from home, which would allow me to spend lots of time with your pets, as well as providing the extra security of having someone around during the day.
  My priority when housesitting, is to give you peace of mind while you are away, looking after your house, pets and garden as though they are my own. I am a houseproud, conscientious, and tidy non-smoker, and have been invited back to housesit on numerous occasions in response to my responsible approach and the caring relationship I have developed with the animals I have looked after. I'm more than happy to provide references from previous housesits, as well as a police check.
  I am available for long-term housesits anywhere within 90 minutes of Melbourne, especially in the inner or Western suburbs of Melbourne (or anywhere within reach of Bacchus Marsh or Carlton). I would love to hear from you if you would like to discuss things further. Feel free to drop me a line.

• 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.

• I have been housesitting with my husband for 15 months. We have just separated and I would love to find another long term housesit in Victoria, to be closer to my children.
  I treat other's possessions with care and concern, as I am pretty fastidious with my own things. I love animals.
  Realistically, I could not manage a small farm, but a house would be perfect. I don't mind, and actually prefer not to be in the thick of town.
  Our most recent housesit was in rural TAS...1/2 hr. from the closest town and I thrived on it!
  I can provide excellent references from previous housesits!

• My name if Fleur and I have lived in Melbourne for nearly four years after relocating from London. I work at an International Accounting firm in the City as an Event Manager organising conferences, dinners and networking events in and around the city.
  I am newly single and am looking to house sit to give me time to think about what I would like to do next with my life. Maybe I will move to the Bahamas (how very nice) or maybe I shall continue to live and breath Melbourne, I'm not sure yet and will take some time before I make this decision.
  My ex partner and I had an 8 year shepherd x Labrador and so I am very happy to look after pets and quite honestly am looking forward to doing so as unfortunately she is no longer mine to keep. I am also very keen to look after plants and/or a garden as this is something I personally enjoy - my chillies are renowned amongst my friends.
  I spend my weekends taking long walks on the beach with the dog and catching up with friends over dinners in Melbourne's great restaurants plus the odd jog around the tan when I'm feeling energetic.
  I am a single, friendly mature girl who understands the anxiety about leaving a home alone and will certainly help to put your mind at ease.

• We live in a small town in Montana, US and have a new grandson in Melbourne. We would like to be close enough to visit him often.
  We have operated a 100-year old guest house for a number of years so we are familiar with caring for another property. My husband likes to tend a yard and I enjoy flowers and/or a garden. We are TV watchers but also like to play golf, swim, ride bikes and go on short day-hikes and trips for a few days at a time. I also enjoy sewing and scrapbooking and Gary enjoys playing bridge and other card games. Both of us use our laptop computers to correspond with our other daughter, who lives in Boston, Massachusetts, US. She may even come over for a visit while we are in Australia.
  We do not smoke but do like an occasional glass of wine with dinner.
  Finally--we would be happy to do light cleaning and will take phone messages and bring in the mail!!!!!!!  If you have questions do not hesitate to email us.

• Hi my name is Luisa. I'm a 36 year old professional, recently separated woman. I am interested in housesitting while I save a deposit for my own home. I have had pets for most of my life and will treat them as my own. Being on my own I will enjoy the company. Taking care of your garden will also not be a problem, I find it therapeutic.
  I am extremely house proud and meticulous and will also treat your home as my own. I have always been a favourite with housemates I have lived with in the past because of my tidiness! I look forward to meeting you.

• I am a mature, responsible person with a lot of experience house and pet sitting.
  I am an adult literacy and numeracy instructor at a community college in Vancouver BC.  I do not teach for three months of the year (July, August and December) and I am very interested in having the opportunity to live rent free in another country during those months.
  I love cats, dogs and birds.  I am a non-smoker and non-drinker.  I am very active, love to walk, swim and bike and love to explore new places.  I take excellent care of homes, am very dependable and will leave homes clean and tidy.
  I would love the opportunity to see Australia, particularly New South Wales.
  I will leave your home in the same excellent condition it was when I arrived!

• Hi, my name is Yvonne Gibson and I am a very friendly, mature, happy, responsible, non-smoking person who has been house-sitting now for a few months and loving it. After renting for 4 years without any problems and having referees for all places rented or house-sat, I am finding it very exciting as I love meeting people and this is certainly a good way of expanding friendship. Although a social person I would never invite friends to your home as I would respect your privacy and possessions. I have had gardens and pets in the past that I have dearly loved and would treat yours in the same manner.
  I have great references from long term friends and work colleagues that I could email to you or bring along in my personal port-folio that I have put together.
  One other thing, although not as yet, I am contemplating having a little "mate" come with me to my next house-sit in a form of a kitten (or possibly when I come to you a fully grown cat). I have been longing for a kitten for some time now and my reasoning for a kitten over a puppy is that I can have her inside most of the time, and I would rear her to be an inside cat, fully trained of course, and to be with me everywhere I go, even on outings (if possible).
  So, I hope this does not stop me from sitting your home while you are away enjoying your holiday.
  Thank you and look forward to sitting for you.

• 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.

• Hello, I have been teaching English in Thailand since 1997. My wife takes care of me and our home. Neither of us drink or smoke.
  I was granted the Aged Pension in Australia in December, 2008. In order to take my pension overseas, I must first spend two years in Australia. How better to do this, than by taking care of other people's homes.
  We are both very active, love animals, and my wife is a dedicated indoor and outdoor gardener. She is also very house proud and keeps an exceptionally clean house at all times. In my free time I like to walk and swim. I have just started working on my second novel.
  We would care for your property and pets as if they were our own.
  Due to our circumstances, we'd prefer longer sits.
  We are now booked until August 24th - available again from then

• I am a semi retired female who enjoys travel and new experiences, and a non smoker, non drinker.  I have previously worked as a nanny with sole care and responsibility for maintaining their precious household, children and animals, while the parents were overseas for several weeks at a time so consequently I have a nationwide police clearance. I own my own house on the Gold Coast, and I have a wonderful family and grandchildren, but I do need to have a break now and then.  I have had a sitter mind my place for three months when I visited my son in China, and I had the thought "I should be doing this".
  I have always had my own little dog, but he died and I have not got another one yet, so I have total empathy for how you feel leaving you little animals, with someone who cares..  I feel at this time of my life I have a great opportunity to explore.. I am happy to do my yoga and meditation, I paint and read a lot and luxuriate in that as when I am home I am usually very busy and unwind time is a rarity, so your animals would have fairly constant company, and I would love to look after your little friends, and would respect your home as my own.  I am available now for short or longer term stays.
  I have some great references from previous house sits.

• We are Rodney(64yrs) & Rose(50yrs) and we hail from Adelaide. Rose was born in the Philippines, has lived here for 27years and has been an Australian citizen for 19years. I am a retired geophysicist, and in 2004 Rose closed a successful house cleaning service to join me in retirement.
  We have four children, two boys and two girls, aged from 21 thro' 31yrs and all now living independently...
  We have over the past few years sat 'upmarket' homes for friends and acquaintances, and we come with excellent references incl police clearance. We are animal lovers and have always had dogs and cats of our own, not to mention rabbits and guinea pigs in the early days...
  We enjoy yoga, isometrics and tai chi regularly every morning for some years now. we walk each day, and also ride push bikes, play table tennis and fish, but primarily we surf.
  Since 2004 we have been spending 6 to 8 months of each year, the southern winter, on a tropical beach on the western pacific rim, north of the equator, in a home rented by us. A small eco-frontier island, Calicoan island belongs to the Philippines. Great surf out front is the reason we are there.
  In the northern winter, November thro' April, the north east monsoons blow on our weather coast, 'spoiling' the surf and the ambience. That is when we come home to see our family and friends.
  In early 2007 we sold our Moana beach house in S.A. to give us more options in our retirement.
  We sponsor local village kids thro' primary and secondary school, and teach them to surf with equipment that would otherwise not be available to them. In the tropics we are both writing, short stories and an autobiography. In between surf's we kayak, read, make shell jewellery and enjoy siesta's.
  (p.s. willing to consider requests from S.A., W.A., VIC, TAS, NSW, & Qld with priority given to coastal areas, and to S.A. & near environs)
