House sitting Sydney

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.
Sydney was established in 1788 at Sydney Cove by Arthur Phillip, commodore of the First Fleet as a penal colony. The city is built on hills surrounding Port Jackson which is commonly known as Sydney Harbour, where the iconic Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge feature prominently. The hinterland of the metropolitan area is surrounded by national parks, and the coastal regions feature many bays, rivers, inlets and beaches including the famous Bondi Beach, great locations for house sitting holidays. Within the city are many notable parks, including Hyde Park and the Royal Botanic Gardens.
House sitting Sydney Australia is a great way to see the sites at your leisure.
 

Hi Danny... I have found someone for house sitting thankyou. Your site is fabulous and I always get great people from it! Thanks again, Regards, Leigh, Sydney, Nov 2012

From House sitters and Home owners - New Zealand to Sydney.

Hello Danny,
Again we Thank you & Housesitworld and would now like to give you some "feed-back" of our latest house-sit in Sydney.
The house is in Croydon, a lovely older federation style, re-modernized but lovingly retaining the period of the build. Our responsibilities included caring of 3 goldfish in an outside pond and a delightful garden. Once again, at the beginning of negotiations, our son Rob was able to visit on our behalf to make personal contact for both parties benefit. Rob drove us to their home, introduced us where the welcome was very warm & friendly. Bob & I enjoyed 2 nights with the Housesit owners, Lynne & Bob, before their departure and during that short period a true friendship had begun. Also during our stay we developed a friendship with the neighbours next door. Rob & his family are just a 15min. walk away, making family contact easily accessible, allowing us more "Hands On" with helping and caring for our grandchildren during the busy working hours.

Again, all was in readiness upon owners return, this time it was a supper, sleep, breakfast and delicious lunch to complete the Return Handover by us to them. Bob & I have been asked to do a Re-sit in 2012, dates yet to be finalized.
We also enjoyed a day visit to our previous house-sit in Kilarney Heights. Diana inviting us to lunch and drive to and around the Palm Beach area. A truly lovely day with a lovely lady.

Our dates on our profile with Housesitworld remain the same and I will arrange with you to re-enlist in your wonderful service early February 2012.

Danny, Lynne & Bob have emailed us a super reference . . . Maybe you might like to read it. Thank you.
Kind Regards, Coral & Bob, Nov 2011
Christchurch New Zealand to Sydney Australia

Reference: Bob and Coral P***

Date: 7th November 2011

Bob and Coral have recently completed a house-sitting period at our home in Croydon, Sydney. This was the first time we had engaged house-sitters and we were a little unsure of the outcome. On reading Bob and Coral’s profile, we were immediately impressed by their apparent genuine regard for someone’s home and the trust they acknowledged would be extended by giving them the opportunity to house-sit one’s home. We were also pleased to see that they were avid gardeners as we needed someone to take care of our garden while we were away for two months. As it happened, Bob and Coral have family who live fairly close by, so the house-sit was a convenient arrangement.

As we waved them goodbye from the taxi, we felt totally at ease with leaving our home in the care of two people we had only met a day and a half beforehand. We felt confident that they had the same sort of standards in home care as we had, and that they were genuinely lovely people. We kept in contact with them via emails while we were away, and everything went exceptionally smoothly during our absence.

On our return, we were met with hugs, smiles and a welcome-home supper. Lunch was made for the next day, the house was absolutely immaculate and the garden had been tended with meticulous care. Our neighbours had made new friends and were looking forward to the next time when Bob and Coral could house-sit for us.

We feel we were particularly fortunate in finding such wonderful carers for our home and have already lined them up for our next holiday in 2012. We have also made two new friends which is an added bonus to a first time house-sitting arrangement.

I would not hesitate to recommend Bob and Coral P*** as exceptional, reliable and responsible home carers. Lynne *** and Bob ***

• 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 house caring 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.

• 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

• Hi! I am a 48-year-old professional female, non-smoker, trustworthy, responsible and very tidy; I love pets.
  I would be interested in doing some house-sitting this year as a way of saving some money in mortgage while my Sydney apartment gets renovated.
  I have completed several successful house-sitting, plant and pet-care jobs in the past and can supply references if required.
  As a homeowner, myself, I understand how important it is to feel complete peace of mind while leaving your home and possessions in the hands of others when you are away.
  I have had people house-sitting for me in the past, so I've been on both sides of the process.
  I promise you won't be disappointed.
  If interested, do not hesitate contacting me.
  I look forward to hearing from you!

• 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.
  Noleen is married to Mike who has no interest in travel; and she is very active in the community giving much of her time voluntary to the frail elderly and also to the local ms society. 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.

• 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.

  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)

• Hi, My name is Denise Andrews and am of mature age...I like to think myself as a responsible, hard working adult. I am currently living with my son and have come to the stage where I believe he and his partner and myself should be having our own separate living arrangements for privacy reasons, even though he is very comfortable in the way things are I personally need this more.
  I am currently working at Chatswood in retail and doing housecleaning for a lady at Castle Hill.
  I am very clean and tidy and am aware many people say I am pedantic with how I work and maintain a house.
  I am quite fit and active, love to walk and exercise and if I had a dance partner would love to take up dancing again.
  Being responsible and raised to respect other peoples possessions has been installed in me and would love to experience looking after someone else's home as I really love challenges.
  I love quiet times and time out and think housesitting is an ideal situation for me.
  Thankyou for your time and hope to be taken into consideration to look after your home.
  Regards, Denise Andrews.

• Experienced Australian sitter.
  I'm currently in London, UK and am looking forward to returning to Australia.
  After 5 years in Canada and a year in Australia and Thailand I have developed a taste for living as an ex-pat. I love to travel and I dislike cold weather so house-sitting abroad is perfect for me.
  I run an internet-based business and have the freedom to work anywhere I can plug in my laptop.
  I have a good sense of humour, am easy-going, flexible, responsible, trustworthy, reliable, and clean and tidy around the house.
  I don't smoke or drink and my idea of a good time is curling up with a good book and a cuppa so I would be around a lot to keep your pets company.
  I love animals and have owned cats and fostered Chihuahuas so I would take good care of your beloved pets and give you regular updates if required.

• I am a single thirty-two yr old female who is taking a long break from 9 to 5 work to finish a children's novel. I am open to a house sit anywhere but would prefer to be in Sydney next and at least a month in duration.
  Would love to have a dog to walk each day, a cat to sit on my lap while I write or a garden to care for.
  Don't want/have a car so would need to be somewhere that I can walk/bike ride/bus to a supermarket at least and need access to the internet for my work. Other than that, I would just like a new headspace and an opportunity to take care of your home while you are having your own adventure.
  I am a clean, non-smoker and am currently house sitting a beautiful 3 bedroom home and 2 dogs in Melbourne, so will be available again from October 10th 2012.
  I am completely happy to share any details you require, furnish written references, send pictures, provide reference contact numbers or whatever would make you comfortable to leave the care of your home to me. Hope to hear from you soon!

• Experienced sitter
  Be it for 1 week, 1 month or 1 year - I would love to be considered to housesit for you whilst you are away.
  I am responsible, reliable and respectful.
  I have years of experience in housesitting, as well as nannying and babysitting in which I am entrusted with people's homes, pets and more importantly their children.
  I am a non smoker, a clean freak and definitely not the kind of person to throw wild parties in someone else's house.
  I am happy to feed/walk pets, ensure plants are well nourished and care for your home as if it were my own.
  I only make calls from my mobile and have my own portable wifi connection so will not be adding to your home bills.
  I pride myself on mostly housesitting for repeat clients and I will happily provide references and further documentation upon request.
  I am always interested in meeting new home owners and I look forward to talking to you soon about your housesitting opportunity.

Dates available: After November 2012
Preferred area: Sydney, Melbourne
Occupation: TAFE (SA) Lecturer; Tutor at Flinders University
Ages 55-65

• My name is Terry Schenkel.
  For most of the rest of 2012 I'm looking for placement as a home and pet sitter in metropolitan Adelaide close to bus routes that will directly access either or both Flinders University, Adelaide city TAFE. Saying this, I will always consider other interesting opportunities.
  Background
  I'm in the 55 to 65 year old age group, own my own car and a very small computer consulting and supply business. I've recently been separated and am looking for a new experiences that will, in a way, give back to our community.
  Pets
  My experience with pets include dogs and, for the last 11 years, cats. Over the years I've been approached and accepted by most cats and dogs. It helps when they want food or a walk. When I was young my family also had birds and tropical fish besides the regulation dog and cat.
  Maintenance
  I've maintained (non) salt swimming pool including including associated solar heating. Because of my earlier life in the electrical trades I'm comfortable with and have small tools for minor household and property maintenance. I'm not the best candidate for on-your-knees gardening because of a double reconstruction of my right knee.
  Availability
  Ideally I would like to do full time home sitting. Other circumstances dictate that I will be in Adelaide until near the end of 2012. I'm free from mid October. My confirmed current bookings are:
  Mon 30 July to Tue 07 August 2012 (9 nights);
  Fri 10 August to Fri 17 August 2012 (8 nights);
  Thu 23 August to Mon 27 August 2012 (4 nights); and
  Mon 03 September to 18 October 2012 (45 nights).
  After November I will be looking further afield to at least Melbourne and Sydney where I have many friends that are seldom seen. I am not currently in a position to home swap.
  Security and References
  My casual work at university and TAFE requires that I have police clearance certificate which includes those under 18 years. I can also provide work and personal references.
  Communication
  I'm in the position of having my own mobile internet connection. I can be contacted by eMail, Skype and facebook. There is always my mobile phone which is active 24x7.
  Motor vehicle and transport
  As inferred above I own a reliable 4 door sedan and I also have a full Class C (car) and Class R (motor bike) endorsement.
  <><><>
  Coffee
  Maybe we can meet and have a tea or coffee at a place convenient to you.
  Sincerely Terry

• Firstly I hope you are having a fantastic day and that you find someone suitable to your place, be it me or anyone else. =)
• I am a single, mature, Christian male with Godly values and have recently decided to try house sitting. I find this as a fantastic opportunity to live away from home and experience a new community in a new area as well as get some form of consistent independence.
• I work for the Federal Government as an IT Practitioner in the Sydney CBD so that would be my preference in location (within 15kms), I have a high security clearance thus all the criminal checks have been done and dusted. You can of course call up my organisation and find out more info on me if you wish.
• I am very clean, active person that is easy to get to know, am happy to take care of duties while you are away and would treat every part of your lovely home as I would treat it myself. I am quite flexible be it for a few days or a few months, so please do not hold back on any questions.
• I can supply positive character references if required (as I am new I can not supply any history or house sitting references)
• Some other facts about me
  - I do not smoke
  - I am myself a home owner who understands what it is like to treasure your own property
  - We own a small family dog who is absolutely adorable, thus I can be comfortable with pets.
  - I work full time
  - I have my own car
  - I love to cook
  - I teach Sunday School to primary school (K-2) children, on Sunday Mornings.
  Please consider me and I will assure you will be very happy when you come back.
  Thanks and Kindest Regards, DT
