House sitting Sydney and NSW

Once you have arrived in Sydney there are heaps of places to see and things to do. Sydney is the largest, most populous city in Australia and is the site of the first British colony.
While house sitting in Sydney, take a drive around the city's many spectacular sights, not least of which are The Rocks, the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge and experience all the commerce, arts, fashion, culture, entertainment, music, education and tourism Sydney is known for - then spread your wings a little to visit the Blue Mountains, Central Highlands, Central Coast - something different in every direction.

See the sights while house sitting in Blue mountains

Housesitting Canberra

Stay and experience what Canberra, Australia’s capital has to offer.
Canberra was chosen as the capital of Australia as it was a compromise between rivals Sydney and Melbourne, it is Australia’s largest inland city and the eighth largest city overall.
While house sitting in Canberra two spectacular places to visit are the beautiful Lake Burley Griffin and the magnificent Parliament House.
House sitting in rural New South Wales opens up vast areas to visit

Glenreagh
Our 100-acre property is situated between Coffs Harbour and Grafton (45kms) near a town with a pub, general store and post office.
We have a large number of animals who require a lot of care (including miniature donkeys, a milking cow (currently being milked), two calves, two maremma dogs, chickens, geese, and cats).
Our property has a one bedroom cottage separate to the main house which includes an attached bathroom, but not kitchen.
Over the next few months we need to sort out some business affairs near Brisbane and would also like to go away for a few weeks holiday.
This is an unusual sit because we would be coming and going from the property.
We have had a few bad experiences with housesitters and therefore require someone trustworthy and with references.
As specified, the dates required are flexible and we will work our affairs around finding the right person to care for our animals.

Dates: flexible
Area: Glenreagh

Blue Mountains
We have a luxury 6 bedroom home on 26 acres in the apple/peach area of Blue Mountains, NSW.
Our main priority is finding someone special to look after our animals, since we've rescued almost all of them from pounds or puppy mills.
We have 3 old horses (one Clydesdale), dogs, cats and laying hens. Our animals are very low maintenance, and all they really need is someone to feed them, and give them a bit of love and affection. Our two old Siamese cats have their own separate run, and so do the chickens. Our 6 dogs are middle-aged to elderly. They are all in great health now and very sweet natured. Our horses can't be ridden, don't need any feeding, but would be thrilled with the occasional apple.
Apart from caring for our animals, nothing else really needs doing (no mowing or weeding), and we'd just like the house to be as clean as when we left.
We've had truly great experiences with house sitters before, but our regular sitters are on a year-long sit and can't come this time.
We have high speed broadband, organic vegetable patch, rainwater and good TV reception.
You would need your own transport, but we are in easy reach of the beautiful villages of Kurrajong, Mt Wilson, Leura and Blackheath. It's a world heritage area, full of bush-walking, abseiling, and canyoning opportunities, and if that's not your thing, then there are some wonderful gourmet food outlets (hand-made chocolate!).

Dates: 8 March to 5th April
Area: Blue Mountains

Stockinbingal
Sitter(s) needed for approx. 6 weeks August 2012 for old farm house on 100 acres. Animals include 6 Border Collies who need lots of love, goats, 14 sheep, 7 cows and geese. All except the dogs and geese look after themselves although stock need a regular review.
It is a very peaceful, quite situation and there is definitely room enough for anyone to use their own caravan if that is appropriate. Otherwise, the farmhouse is small, old and adequate. Town water telephone and power available but there is only satellite Internet.

Dates: approx. 04/08/2012 for 6 weeks

  • 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! My name is Pene.. and am 49.. I have been a Home Owner since 1980..  that was a big beautiful home at Epping..  986sqr metres.. with a pool and large lawns to mow.. I moved to the Northern Beaches in 2000 because I love the water.. I also own two investment properties.
    I have had many, many pets over the years! 5 dogs and 3 cats.. ( at one time 3 dogs and cats all at the same time ) 3 Cockatiels, a Princess Parrot, and a couple of fish too.. and just love the company of all animals ..  although unfortunately, mine have all passed away now ..   ( not getting anymore as it is too heartbreaking )
  • I do know what it is like to have to go away, and leave them, and have someone come in to feed them,  and walk them for you..   or to board    ( very expensive! ) and traumatic for them.
  • I also have had "house sitters" myself over the years..   and know that you have to like and trust the person/people you are leaving your home and pets with!   I have had over 14 house/pet sitting jobs since joining the site..  and 4 of these are now regular's, so that is really nice!
  • I live at Bayview..    and am willing to go from Palm Beach all the way down to Manly..  I have references from all of my previous House Sits.
  • I am available for an Interview to discuss any needs that you might have regarding what is required of me to "house sit" your home and look after your babies..    I am neat and tidy, and would treat your home just like mine..  with respect.  Look forward to taking care of your home while you are away on holidays..  or overseas on business.     Kind regards Pene.

    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.

  • Hi, We are home based self employed IT professionals with over five years house and pet sitting experience. We have been away from home this time since March 2009 because house sitting has kept us very busy indeed visiting family and revisiting repeat sits across the country. Our software and services business is nearing it's 30th birthday and our clients are benefiting from us house-sitting allowing us to devote more time on site with them during our travels.
    Home for us, when we are there, is Maleny in Queensland just north of the Glass House Mountains and about 30kms inland from Caloundra but we love to visit our grown family now that their work has moved them to the other side of the country and they can't visit us as much as we'd like.
    Besides time with family house sitting allows us the opportunity to visit and experience all manner of Aussie locations some off the beaten track and others in the thick of city living.
    We regard our duties house sitting to be extremely important lending much needed support for home owners, eliminating most of the stress of leaving their extended family behind while they travel, sometimes for very lengthy periods of time.
    As homeowners ourselves we have plenty of experience looking after and maintaining homes, pools and gardens of all shapes and sizes and we've also on occasion managed small & medium sized farms. We will treat your home and belongings with respect while ensuring that your pets get plenty of TLC. We are very much home bodies preferring to enjoy a more relaxed casual lifestyle.
    We have police clearances and excellent references from our previous house-sitting adventures and we are happy to send you their contact details.
    We are currently in Perth WA and are available between February 9 & 18, 2012 and then later from October 2012 to March 2013 either in Perth WA or Tasmania.
    Our number is 04 1155 1520 if you'd like to call us or if you prefer, send us a message or email and we'll call you. If possible we like to meet with you before accepting a house sit enabling you to make an informed decision as to whether we are the right sitters for you.
    We are happy to be within 30km of the CBD and preferably on the north side of the river in Perth so long as there is mobile coverage and Internet access.
    Thanks John & Melissa.

  • Hi. Currently I am in Canberra at my second house sit.
    I am here visiting with family to spend time with my elderly Dad who is 88 and has dementia. The family house is 'full up'.. so house sitting is ideal. I would like to stay longer so am looking for another house sit after Feb 5th.
    I love animals, can do basic gardening and as I have caring experience and am doing at Cert 2, so could look in on an elderly relative for you.
