Brisbane
I'll explain my situation and if you are interested in helping me out, we can talk further about references, expectations etc.
  I am going away on a family holiday from 10 July to 26 July. I have a 3 brm lowset villa unit (standalone) in Southgate Drive, Woodridge which is in the good part of Woodridge, near Compton Road.
  This time is only a short period but I am starting to plan a holiday for this time next year which will be about 6 weeks and plan on taking more holidays after that.
 I am not that concerned about the house or pot plants. My only priority is my Chihuahua/Fox Terrier cross, Jess. Jess has a heart condition so requires daily medication. Naturally I would prefer to leave her in her own home rather than put her in a kennel. I have had her for almost 13 years and she is very important to me.
 The unit itself is in a small complex mainly occupied by owners not renters so we all tend to know each other but everyone minds their own business. My unit has security screens, garage and aircon/heater. I have internet which I would make available. Naturally for such a short period of time, I would not expect any payment for phone or electricity.
  Anyway, if you have any questions, let me know. Hopefully we will talk soon.

Bribie area
We are a retired couple who plan short breaks( 4-5 days) away in our motorhome about once a month, and long term holidays 1-4 months. We would like to find a couple who are flexible and live close to Bribie Island/ Sandstone Point to enable short sits. We could mostly plan our time away to fit in with the sitters. We have a modern home with pool overlooking Deception Bay. We have a collie dog who requires a daily walk. If the same couple could also do long sits this would be great. To have the same couple regularly would be an asset as they could settle into the home and area more easily, and the dog would look forward to your visits.
We would be interested in hearing from any interested couples and organising an interview if there is mutual interest. Please e-mail and we will phone back.

Occupation: Retired Office Manager/Executive / Now Volunteer - experienced Housesitter.
Ages
55
  • 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.

  Dates available: Anytime as I'm retired
Preferred area: All areas
Occupation: Retired Senior RAAF Officer
Ages:
59.
  • I'm a retired RAAF Officer with complete freedom in relation to time. However, I am also a member of The Salvation Army who does considerable volunteer work, primarily in the USA. Notable achievements include organising the warehouse for the Pentagon Disaster post 9 /11 (150 000 sq ft warehouse full of brand new donated items). I have also organised four fundraising campaigns, two in Arlington Va, and two in Lawton, Ok., and administered a Homeless Shelter in Lawton. When doing my volunteer work, I regard myself as an unpaid employee, not a volunteer.
    I own a home in Mandurah which I have let at 20 % beneath market value because of the financial circumstances of my tenants.  I am buying another home in Canberra which I have allowed family members to live in rent free. I am a great believer in having a social conscience. This is not because of some in-built desire to ingratiate myself. It's primarily in recognition that I have received such wonderful gifts throughout my life.
    To whom much is given, much is expected.
    I have had experience in home sitting (not house sitting...its your home not your house!).  I love animals. Sadly, because of some military caused disabilities I have some minor limitations in performing physical labour. I would like to have access to broadband Internet (my cost)... telephone is not a problem if broadband is available as I have a VOIP calling card. A car would be handy (although I actually prefer public transport).
    Interested in me...why not email me below
    and we can have a chat.  Who knows we might just fit! As always, any blessings.

Ages: 68 & 69.
  • We are an independent retired professional couple who would very much like to undertake a period of housesitting in either Australia or New Zealand. During the past few years we have spent 2 very enjoyable holidays in each of these countries and wish to return for a longer visit to either country as residents for a longer period rather than as tourists.
    Both of us are non smokers and in very good health. We are very active by playing golf and bowls and by walking, swimming and gardening.
    As homeowners ourselves we appreciate the concerns any one will have in ensuring that their house is well cared for and we would treat the property with the same care and consideration as we do our own.
    References can be provided regarding our suitability including for one us a current police check.
    We should be very happy to discuss with you your needs and our mutual expectations as well as providing you with any other information you might require.  Thank you.

  • 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 will be sitting at Hervey Bay through May/June 25th 08

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're having our new home built - maybe 6 mths to completion. So we're available to look after your home for you if you like.
    We've done several bookings already but have a vacancy from Sept. on - check with us for an update on this.
    We're non-smokers, non-drinkers, with old-fashioned standards of honesty, integrity and trustworthiness.
    We're fit, healthy and very experienced in maintenance and basic upkeep of a home. My husband's skills could probably save you $$$ if an emergency happens while you're away.
    What more can we say?
    Only that your home & 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're scrupulously HONEST and respect your privacy.
    The only downside is my extreme allergy to cat fur - any other animals are fine!
    So phone or email us if you'd like to meet us personally, to make up your own mind if we're a good choice or not.

We love animals and are used to looking after much loved fur babies, so if you are in need of animal sitters they will be so loved they will think they have gone on holiday too.

    We are non smokers so will only sit smoke free homes.
