  I am a very quiet, responsible, professional single lady, very respectful of your privacy (as I would wish a house-sitter in my home to be the same), and very diligent with pets and security.  I love dogs, cats, and have even house-sat in a house with a pet snake!

• Experienced Sitter enjoying the experience.
  An active and fit (retired) Social Worker, I have returned to Australia after two years in Argentina and have committed myself for several house sits this year. I have enjoyed the opportunity to visit various centres in Victoria and NSW.
  I am now looking for some new experiences from 18th November into all of 2010. I have family in Sydney, Hobart and Geelong which makes them attractive to me but am willing to consider anywhere in Australia.
  Used to living on my own, I am systematic about house keeping and simple gardening and always respect the home as I would my own.
  I have had some good experiences this year with cats and dogs and chooks and feel confident in this area. We always had dogs around our family home and my son has two Labradors in Geelong. I have left behind two beautiful Siamese cats in Buenos Aires.
  My Brother in Law is an Architect in the Sydney suburb of Pymble and I am sure he would be willing to vouch for me as would any previous house owners.

• We have recently sold our business (Inglewood Farms...organic chickens) to RM Williams. I have enrolled in a Masters of Finance at Macquarie University while Ruth and I take stock and decide what to do next. Our children have grown up and left home. We have had a very interesting time since we got married 33 years ago, living in PNG, UK, US, Sydney. I studied economics at the University of Queensland and, after spending the 1970's working in PNG, did a Masters at Cambridge and an MBA at Yale. I worked as a strategy consultant for Boston Consulting Group before setting up my own firm with a group of colleagues. After 10 years we had opened offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Hong Kong and Shanghai. Inglewood Farms was established 7 years ago after we returned from living and working in Boston. We think our next adventure will probably be overseas again working on development issues somewhere in Asia. With that in mind, Ruth is planning on doing a nursing refresher course at the Adventist Hospital at Wahroonga while I am studying at Macquarie.
  We are coming to Sydney next weekend (June 6) to attend our youngest daughter's graduation from the University of Sydney and thought we would take that opportunity to do a recce on where to live for the next 6 months or so.

• RETIRED, RESPONSIBLE, ANIMAL LOVING, PROFESSIONAL COUPLE WHO LOVE A CHANGE OF SCENERY.
  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 -  (although Gill is not a big fan of mice).... 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've spent the year so far in the Grampians, Victorian Alps, Adelaide 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.

• We are a professional male couple that are available to look after your house and pets over the next few months. As we are moving overseas in July 09 all our possessions have been packed up and sent to Europe leaving us waiting for them to arrive there before we can leave.
  House sitters have looked after our home and cat over the years and we know how hard it is to find someone you can trust to watch over your property and possessions. Our interest is staying in a home rather than a serviced apartment over the next few months.
  We both have recent police clearance certificates, are responsible, ethical, clean and trustworthy people that will look after your home like it is our own.
  We are very private and discreet pharmaceutical company directors from the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney.

• 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)

• Hi, Are you looking for someone who will care for your home like their own? Someone local, who is accountable and happy?
  I am a mature age (40ish) phd student. Normally I work as a teacher but now that I have returned to full time study I need to downsize. I am also a writer - which is another reason I need to downsize. Houses-sitting is ideal for me. As a home-owner myself (elsewhere) I know how important it is that your house is treated as a home with respect and care. I'm happy to take care of your animals too. I love animals of all kinds and although I am no expert gardener, I do enjoy the chance to look after plants also.
  I live a fairly quiet life these days. I am responsible, clean, tidy and cheerful. I know the value of commitment too. If I say that I will be there to look after your pets, then I will be true to my word.
  I am enrolled at Macquarie University so would prefer something north or west of the city in that vicinity - however, I am a long term Sydney resident, so also feel very comfortable in the Inner city, Eastern suburbs, Inner west and Lower north shore.
  Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you soon. Bronwin

• Do you have furry family members that don't cope well boarding? Are they used to a level of love and attention that others find difficult to provide? Don't want to leave your home unmonitored and unsafe due to the telltale signs of an empty house?
  If you answered yes to either of the above, we are here to help!
  We are reliable, trustworthy non - smokers. We are available to housesit from February 2009 onwards in Brisbane or Sydney.
  We are a careful, mature couple who will respectfully housesit your home and love your precious pets while you enjoy a much deserved break. This leaves you completely free to enjoy your holiday to the fullest without a care in the world about your greatest asset and beloved pets!
  We spent 7 months last year on a house sitting tour of Australia, and we loved every minute of it. We have shining references that we were very grateful for. We hope you can better them on your return!  I have been a volunteer at the Cat's Protection League as well as our local wildlife park and have felt a strong connection with animals since I was very small. This means your furry family members are in the best possible hands that you could hope for!
  We take the stress off your friends and family to drop over and clear mail, also potentially save you hundreds of dollars in pet boarding or dog walking. If you do a search for 'pet sitter fees Australia' you will get an idea of this cost. With us around there is no need to put furry kids through the distress of boarding or deal with the fear that an unreliable family member may forget to feed or take care of them.
  Our full time job while we are house sitting is to carefully maintain your greatest asset to your exacting standards, which means you are completely free to enjoy your time away without a care in the world. Every day and night we housesit, your home will look lived in, your pets and plants will enjoy the same attention, love and care that they are used to from you. We feel that house sitting provides the perfect solution for all parties, especially pets, plants, gardens and relatives!
  Please follow this link to learn more about us: House Sitting Sydney
  We are looking forward to hearing from you!

• Having been to Australia twice and spent some time in Sydney, I would like to experience 'living' there instead of being a tourist. I'm living in France, a non-smoker and love animals, cats and dogs especially but if you have the odd wombat, no problem! I'm good at looking after properties, I renovated this house as well as looking after the garden.
  Any period from 1 - 3 months would be good.

• Hi there, I come from the country and so have grown up with pets of all shapes and sizes. I get along great with dogs, cats, birds, horses and more. Even when I was living overseas, the neighbour's cat decided that he preferred to spend more time at my house than at his.
  Gardening is also a favourite past time of mine, so there are no worries if you need me to water a few plants or pull a few weeds. I'm clean and tidy and spend a lot of my spare time studying toward my masters degree...which means I am home a lot too.
  On 10 December 2008 I will arrive in Sydney to make it my new home and so am available to housesit any time from then.
  I own a home myself so I am well aware of how important it is to get someone reliable and trustworthy in and when you have much loved pets it becomes even more so.
  Personal references are available if required.
  I hope to hear from you soon.
