Sitters Available - Qld

• Hi, We are animal lovers and my husband enjoys gardening. We travelled around Australia 4 years ago and enjoyed housesitting in NSW and Queensland and have very good references from these sits. We always leave the house clean and tidy and animals are very well looked after. We will treat your animals as our own and are very trustworthy honest people. We both have police clearances and treat the homes we stay at with respect.
  We do hope you would choose us to look after your pets and home.
  Looking forward to your response. Kind Regards Dianna Gee

• Experienced sitters.
  We are a happily married couple of 38 years and enjoy travelling Australia in our caravan. We have been house-sitting for the past 7 years and love the lifestyle this provides, allowing us to stay in and experience different areas.
  We have always had pets including dogs, cats, fish, chooks and budgies when we lived in our own home. As a result of living in a caravan, we are very conscious of the need to conserve both water and electricity usage.
  We are committed Christians, are extremely honest, reliable and trustworthy and are both non-smokers and non-drinkers. We have had previous experience involving short and longer stays and understand how important it is to have totally honest, reliable people living in and taking care of your home. We have current police clearances and are very happy to provide excellent references when requested.

  (Very happy to recommend Peter and Irene as they did a fantastic job for us in 2011 - Danny, housesitworld)
  We would love a housesit from end of June onwards.
  We are a retired married couple travelling around Australia. We have a large (30ft) 5th wheeler motorhome. We do not necessarily have to live in your house as we are self-contained and require only power and water and space to park the rig.
  I am an IT Consultant and Irene has worked in banks, offices, etc. We come from Dubbo, NSW where we had a house on 40 acres with all the usual animals and experience with farm maintenance. Irene is very experienced in the care of horses. We are both active and have no medical conditions. We love animals of all sorts and they seem to bond with us. We prefer rural or regional locations. We are reliable and honest and not afraid of work.
  We would be delighted to look after your property, animals and gardens just as if they were our own.
  Please call or email if you have any questions.

• We have been married for 42yrs and always owned our own home, now we are retired we want to spread our wings a bit. We have a motor home in NZ and travel round a fair bit but in our winter it's not good so we thought we would love to see more of Queensland and avoid our horrible winter ( we usually do a month in Rarotonga but time for a change).
  As we are both school bus drivers (part time work for spare cash) we are thoroughly police checked (govt regulations).
  We have always had dogs and cats till this last year when our last dog died, which now frees us up to travel more. We are honest and trustworthy. John was brought up on a farm and done farming for many years, I'm a gardener.
  We hope to be able to look after your special properties as our own, should you choose to select us. Thankyou.

• Mrs Noleen Dowling and Ms Shirley Turnbull from New Zealand, two very honest reliable nice ladies wishing to holiday together would love the chance to house sit as we feel we would be the type of person home owners could feel confident having in their home. This would also be a chance for us to have a more affordable break away.

Shirley is the manager of an Anglican care rest home which has a very high standard of care and an excellent reputation and has held this demanding position for 21 years.
  Neither of us has house-sat before but given the opportunity our commitment would be 100%. Noleen and Shirley have been close friends for over 40 years. yours sincerely, Shirley Turnbull.

• Experienced sitters / Caretakers - non smokers
  Currently booked 25/05/2013 to 12/08/2013.
  Greg is Australian and Dee is a Pommy Australian. We are now grey nomads, and love the rural life...not comfortable in big cities. We are good with animals but have none of our own these days because of our lifestyle. Greg can do almost anything from mending cars, to woodwork, to making sure your property is fire safe. We've worked as caretakers on a remote heritage station (farm), and last year we house sat a villa in Umbria, Italy, ....three dogs, a pool and an olive plantation. As we both hold Gun Licences from South Australia a Police Check would be an overkill as the checking done for a Gun Licence is more intensive than a general police check!
  We travel a lot, and plan to be in New South Wales and Queensland this year. We are fit and healthy, like walking and cycling, read a lot and Greg is learning the banjo, while Dee plays the uke.
  We do prefer to be in more rural areas, and the outback. We tow a caravan so we would be able to use that, or we would need a place to keep it.

• I am experienced house sitter who is extremely conscious of the need not to let down home owners. My greatest disappointment is having to refuse owners who have had arrangements in place only to have a sitter cancel at the last minute. If I commit to you then you can plan your absence in absolute peace.
  I have an impeccable character being a Justice of the Peace, a retired RAAF officer and a member of The Salvation Army. I own three homes in Atlanta Georgia which I have rented out so am totally empathetic to the need of home owners.
  I have a gorgeous Fox Terrier who owns our home with my wife and I. My wife has a job here in Canberra so does not accompany me on Full Time assignments; however, she will join me during my assignment.
  I would prefer the availability of a vehicle although in major cities I prefer the use of public transport.
  I am in great demand...obviously I must be doing something correct. Therefore, its advisable to get in quickly. Overseas assignments are considered.

• Hi there, we are a recently retired couple from regional Victoria, Australia, where we own a small hobby farm of 65 acres which we run cattle and horses on. We built our dream home on this property, so we can appreciate the risks of handing over our home to strangers to look after for us while we are away. Of course we would want someone who is honest and reliable and responsible to care for our property so we consider ourselves to have the same values and qualities to housesit somebody else's home.
  I consider myself to be a little bit house proud and like things neat and tidy and am respectful of other peoples property. If you are looking for someone to mind your property I assure you that you can be away and not be worrying if you have made the right decision to have myself and my husband in care of your home. Also because of our age there would be no threat of vandalism or mistreatment of property as we can appreciate the same thing happening to our home.
  Thank you for reading my blog. cheers Liz Mackwell

• Experienced sitters.
  We are a married couple of fit, active, recently retired teachers. We enjoy travelling and believe that the only authentic way to experience a place is to stay for an extended period as a local. We are honest, trustworthy and can provide impeccable references.
  We have a small farm, are fond of animals and so are familiar with caring for pets. Neil is a furniture maker and has many practical skills useful in maintaining a home. Karral is a passionate gardener and very capable of looking after your garden and plants.
  We took part in a very successful house swap with a couple in the UK in 1996 and have recent house sitting experience in Australia. We used house sitters for our own property when we have been travelling so are well aware of the importance of providing a caring environment for pets and maintaining property to a high standard.

• Our own house sitters (five times) convinced us to do some sitting too, and when we tried it last year (Mt Tamborine + Gold Coast), we loved it. We like escaping Warwick's frosts.
  We are very fit (jog each day), and are garden loving people who built their own beautiful home, and, through firm family upbringings, have learnt to appreciate what we and other people own.
  We have three children - a daughter (nurse-Gold Coast), a daughter (lecturer - Melbourne), and a son (Hydro-survey consultant, NZ at the moment, then USA).
  We were both teachers at The Scots PGC College in Warwick, (Mavis 19 & John 33yrs). Mavis was a Home Economics/Hospitality teacher, now plays Bridge, and dotes on the three G'kids, making them wall hangings, clothes, etc.
  John was a Man Arts/ Art/Graphics teacher, ex-AFL player, ex-golfer, and now coaches bowls as well as accrediting coaches, and he is a volunteer at Blue Care.
  We are both non-smokers, and are almost teetotallers.
  The two people we sat for last year would be very willing to provide a reference if required.

• Experienced sitter.
  Dear house owners, House sitting is perfectly suited to myself as it gives me the variety that I'm looking for as I was brought up on a yacht and am a bit of a nomad:) You can be assured that your home will be looked after, kept safe and your pets looked after and cared for.
  I enjoy being with animals, especially dogs, and love to cuddle, play and walk with them. House and garden duties are no trouble, and you can rest assured that your house will be neat and clean when you return.
  I am a non-smoker and am honest and reliable.
  I come with experience, references and a police clearance.
  Please know that I will do my utmost to make you happy with my house-sit and that everything I say in my ad is what I do for house-owners. I have good references and a lot of experience. I adore animals and would treat them as you would, with great love and attention.

  Hi - we are a professional couple who love to travel, and we are interested in exploring as much of Cairns as possible, Fergus recently taking up the role of Principal Solicitor - Environmental Defenders Office (Northern Queensland) in Cairns on 25 February 2013.
  Fergus is an environmental lawyer, environmental scientist, and national disaster manager (so he knows precisely what to do when your house is struck by lightning while you're on holiday!). Tri is magic with animals and plants of all descriptions. We have no children, nor pets. We are non-smokers, and animal lovers (Fergus is also a Zoologist!). We enjoy quiet evenings, and you do not need to worry about parties etc etc.
  We would prefer a situation where there is broadband internet available, as we use internet TV. We are both very capable 'fixit-type' people - who can deal with any issues that arise in an efficient and sensible manner. We are more than happy to provide Police checks and/or references if required.
  If you are looking for highly responsible, considerate, and intelligent house-sitters who will care for your home in the same careful manner they would their own - please contact us - we'd love to hear about where you live and whether there might be a good 'fit' for house-sitting! You can certainly be sure that your sitter will not bale on you at the last moment (that seems to happen a lot, based on the calls we receive!), as having a job in Cairns, we can be relied upon to 'be there' .....
  If you like, we can first chat on the phone or video-chat with you via Skype, so that we can learn lots about your home/pets, and you can get to know us too. Our Skype address is: fergus.power1. Please send an invite to connect and we can video-chat some time.
  Looking forward to meeting you, and providing exceptional house-sitting for you!

• We have been married for 42yrs and always owned our own home, now we are retired we want to spread our wings a bit. We have a motor home in NZ and travel round a fair bit but in our winter it's not good so we thought we would love to see more of Queensland and avoid our horrible winter ( we usually do a month in Rarotonga but time for a change).
  As we are both school bus drivers (part time work for spare cash) we are thoroughly police checked (govt regulations).
  We have always had dogs and cats till this last year when our last dog died, which now frees us up to travel more. We are honest and trustworthy. John was brought up on a farm and done farming for many years, I'm a gardener.
  We hope to be able to look after your special properties as our own, should you choose to select us. Thankyou.

• Experienced sitters / Caretakers - non smokers
  Currently booked 25/05/2013 to 12/08/2013.
  Greg is Australian and Dee is a Pommy Australian. We are now grey nomads, and love the rural life...not comfortable in big cities. We are good with animals but have none of our own these days because of our lifestyle. Greg can do almost anything from mending cars, to woodwork, to making sure your property is fire safe. We've worked as caretakers on a remote heritage station (farm), and last year we house sat a villa in Umbria, Italy, ....three dogs, a pool and an olive plantation. As we both hold Gun Licences from South Australia a Police Check would be an overkill as the checking done for a Gun Licence is more intensive than a general police check!
  We travel a lot, and plan to be in New South Wales and Queensland this year. We are fit and healthy, like walking and cycling, read a lot and Greg is learning the banjo, while Dee plays the uke.
  We do prefer to be in more rural areas, and the outback. We tow a caravan so we would be able to use that, or we would need a place to keep it.

• I am experienced house sitter who is extremely conscious of the need not to let down home owners. My greatest disappointment is having to refuse owners who have had arrangements in place only to have a sitter cancel at the last minute. If I commit to you then you can plan your absence in absolute peace.
  I have an impeccable character being a Justice of the Peace, a retired RAAF officer and a member of The Salvation Army. I own three homes in Atlanta Georgia which I have rented out so am totally empathetic to the need of home owners.
  I have a gorgeous Fox Terrier who owns our home with my wife and I. My wife has a job here in Canberra so does not accompany me on Full Time assignments; however, she will join me during my assignment.
  I would prefer the availability of a vehicle although in major cities I prefer the use of public transport.
  I am in great demand...obviously I must be doing something correct. Therefore, its advisable to get in quickly. Overseas assignments are considered.

• Heather is a retired Assistant Head teacher who has always owned and looked after animals. My upbringing was on a dairy farm where we had a great variety of animals and would breed Arab and Anglo-Arab horses as a fun side-line. I have always had a dog, horses and cats until recently when travelling made it unfair take on any new ones. Mike has a degree in Zoology and although he now works in Human Medicine he was, for most of his life, working in the veterinary area.
  I love working with animals and have recently joined the Cinnamon Trust which offers free dog walking for the old and infirm owners who can no longer take their pets out.
  Mike is a great gardener and loves looking after plants.
  We are seasoned (x10) home exchangers to Australia and America and love being in warm places for our winter!
  We are both fully capable of looking after a home with tender loving care although my home maintenance skills are more highly developed than my husband's!
  We love travelling and visiting new places and would enjoy doing this while taking care of your home and pets in your absence.
  We have exchanges booked to Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane during March, April and May next year. (2013)

  G'day, My name is Suzanne but I prefer to be called, Sue. I am wanting to save for my first home, and am available for any area in Queensland.
  I am mature (don't go out partying) I'm a non smoker, I am neat and tidy, and will respect your house and contents, and look after your pets as if they were my own.
  My work involves being in other peoples houses, cleaning, and providing other personal services. As such, I have a current police check, and two references.
  I am trustworthy, honest, and reliable. I understand, that people need to have their house kept the way they left it... ie, things put back how they are found, and keeping things clean, and tidy.
  I am an active person, and love to be outdoors, so walking dogs will be an enjoyable activity for me, and help me to keep fit. I also enjoy the company of puddy cats, and will be happy to do garden maintenance, and mowing lawns.
  I am hoping to get a long term sit. (six months, or longer) However, I will take shorter ones as well. I am available to start immediately.
  Looking forward to being an excellent house sitter for someone soon.
  Kind Regards, Sue.

• We are a fit, non-smoking, honest, reliable Australian couple who retired at the end of 2006 from responsible positions as a primary school teacher (Mary, 61) and Species Conservation Manager, and Regional Liaison Manager in Cairns, with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (Tony, 64, and a JP).
  We live in Townsville and are planning to come south for a few weeks/months from January 2013 to be closer to family and enjoy the beaches etc. We love the SE Queensland area and know it well having successfully completed many house sits there. We would very much like to do others.
  We have proven and extensive worldwide experience (22 successful sits to date with many repeats), and excellent references, in house-sitting and caring for homes and pets as well as aquariums, gardens and swimming pools. As we write, we are at a repeat sit of 6 weeks in beautiful Caloundra. We live quietly and respect our neighbours.
  Since retiring we have travelled for long periods away from our own home in Townsville. We love travel, seeing new places and meeting new people, and are keen to do as much as possible BG (before grandchildren).
  We pride ourselves on buying whatever we need and costing home owners nothing. We confidently assure you that both your home and your pets will be cared for as our own.
  If you are interested in exploring the possibility that we may be able to assist, please DO CONTACT US. Our photograph can be forwarded and we would be more than happy to email references.
  With best wishes and in the hope that we can be of assistance,
  Mary and Tony

• We have been married for 42yrs and always owned our own home, now we are retired we want to spread our wings a bit. We have a motor home in NZ and travel round a fair bit but in our winter it's not good so we thought we would love to see more of Queensland and avoid our horrible winter ( we usually do a month in Rarotonga but time for a change).
  As we are both school bus drivers (part time work for spare cash) we are thoroughly police checked (govt regulations).
  We have always had dogs and cats till this last year when our last dog died, which now frees us up to travel more. We are honest and trustworthy. John was brought up on a farm and done farming for many years, I'm a gardener.
  We hope to be able to look after your special properties as our own, should you choose to select us. Thankyou.
