• Dear Homeowner
  I am a 5th year student studying for the Catholic priesthood, every year we have a break from mid November until mid February.  As a keen photographer of our beautiful country, I would like to housesit for you and visit your piece of Australia.
  I have significant experience as a housesitter, including looking after extensive gardens and a variety of pets (dogs, cats, birds, goats etc.).
  I am able to provide you references to attest to my reliability and would welcome you contacting my referees for confirmation, if required.
  I hope we can speak soon about housesitting for you, so you can travel away from home comforted knowing your home and pets will be well cared for.
  Kind regards, Daniel...

• Experienced sitters - available again 20th Nov

• 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.

• 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.

• After three years successful house sitting in Sydney and WA (references available) we are now looking for a housesit in WA, SA, Victoria or NSW, we will be available from approx 10th Dec 08 to the beginning of Feb 09.
  We are a retired English couple, non smoking, who just love cats; we come back to Australia each summer as we find European winters impossible so we have vowed to live in sandals forever. You could call us grey nomads with the aim to get to know our globe before we are too creaky to move.

  During the European summer we spend our time in Rochefort, France, very close to the Atlantic coast and from time to time we pop over to the UK to see the family.
  My hobby is sailing and learning more about Capt James Cook and Barbara excels at needlework.

Ages 62 & 60

• We are an English married couple whose 26 year old graduate son and his Australian partner live in Adelaide. We have recently spent the months of December, January, April and May house sitting in various suburbs of Adelaide.  Our son would like us to eventually settle in Adelaide and we would like to use the opportunity of house sitting to familiarise ourselves more with the area.
  John is a retired Company Director and Sandy is a mother and home maker.
  We are both fit and healthy, non-smokers but we do enjoy a social drink.
  We have our own home in Cambridgeshire, England, which we maintain to a high standard and we know how important it is to respect other peoples property.  We both enjoy gardening so all of the usual gardening maintenance tasks will be undertaken with pleasure.
  Unfortunately we are not able to sit for dogs, but cats and other small animals will be well looked after.
  We are able to provide police checks, character reference and references from our 2 recent house sits in Adelaide.
  If you think we can be of any assistance you can email us at anytime.
  We will be available from February 2009 onwards.

• Hello, my name is Stewart, nice to meet you!
  I have been living in Japan, teaching English for the last 5 and a half years. I am an avid traveller and have been to over 40 countries. I would very much appreciate the chance to homesit your house in my native city of Adelaide. I will be studying in Adelaide next year.
  My lifestyle apart from studying is best described as "yoga style". I love animals so pets of any sought are no problem. I have previous work experience in house maintenance, cleaning and gardening. I am a non-smoker and either short or long-term sits are no problem.
  I am a trustworthy and responsible person and I would be happy to meet you at your convenience. Thank you.

• Before my divorce and sojourn overseas, I have owned several homes, the last of which in Hazelwood Park sold for a little less than a million. I am known as being an excellent housekeeper and gardener and Real Estate personnel have always commented on the presentation of the house and the garden and how these have positively influenced the value of the property.
  I am responsible, reliable and love houses, gardens and animals. I have decided not to live in my rental property for some time and would love to look after someone's much loved property and animals.

• Hello. We are a mature age couple enjoying an extended working holiday around Australia. We have a caravan in which we live if unable to arrange sitting. If sitting the van will be stored for the duration. We are both non smokers & John enjoys an occasional glass of wine. We are by nature a clean & tidy couple (caravanning allows not for sloth) & have our own home in Qld under rental so we understand your concern for the welfare of your much loved home.
  We had pets of our own prior to travelling; so are animal lovers by nature & more than able to care for your cat or dog whilst you are away.
  At present in a van park in SE Adelaide we are happy to discuss you concerns & requirements with you at any time. Give us a call on 0403838208 and well take it from there.
