  • I am a single woman retired from 33 years of marriage to a medical professional at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Mn. I traveled nationally and internationally with my former husband. I love to travel and would like to have a purpose while "on the road" to wonderful new experiences.
    I maintained 3 vacation homes (one at a time) in Maine while living in Mn. and Texas over a 23 year period. Cultural opportunities and the beautiful outdoors call me. I pay strict attention to details and would take excellent care of cats, dogs, etc. Having had up to four cats at one time, multiple animals will be joy to care for. I am completely trustworthy and will provide personal as well as work references from my current employer.
    On July 3rd, 2008, I returned from a housesitting job in Ireland. Pixie the cat was a joy. My five weeks there were so wonderful.
    A clean home is important to me, so no need to worry about your beautiful home. I will take care of it as if it were my own. I look forward to hearing from you. You won't be disappointed.
    I have recently completed house sitting positions in Sydney.
    Thank you very much, Margaret Brinkman

    I live at Bayview at the moment and am willing to go from Palm Beach all the way down to Manly and even as far back across as Epping.

management assistant in publishing, WORK & TRAVEL

Ages

  • Hello, my name is Anuschka and I want to do house-sitting.
    I grew up with five siblings (three older ones and two kid siblings) and so I know what it means to keep house. e.g. a house in order and to be well structured and organised. Also we learned to accept responsibility for each other and the things we do!
    My parents set great value upon discipline; otherwise we would descend into chaos.
    We had a cat, named Oggel, for whom I was responsible. Unfortunately we never had a dog, but I worked as a dog sitter and this way I imagine I had my own dog. Not for money, only for fun, because I love them. Well, all right, sometimes I got chocolate or liquorice, which I also love.
    2006 I left home to live in Hamburg in my own flat, strictly speaking in my first share flat with two other people.
    In Hamburg I did my apprenticeship as a management assistant in publishing and after finishing my apprenticeship I stay there in the distribution department until I leave Germany in October 2010, with the aim - Australia!
    I love to do sports, travelling, reading or hang up with friends. I´m a non-smoker!
    I think I would be a great house sitter, because I know what responsibility it will involve.
    Also I WISH to do this and if you really WANT to do, you will be better than if you HAVE to do this.
    If you have any further questions, please contact me!
    I would be glad to hear from you and maybe to become better known in a personal meeting.
    (Actually I'm in Germany, but after 10th October I will have an Australian phone).
    Kind regards, Anuschka

  • I am a responsible, trustworthy Officer in the British Army, sadly in a family break up situation between England and Australia.
    My ex wife and young daughter (currently 16 months) now live in Sydney, so I am faced with regular trips to Australia in order to spend quality time with her, the next of which is
    planned for December. The high cost of legal fees has meant I am no longer able to afford to rent commercial properties in Sydney for my visits.
    I am looking therefore for anyone who would be willing for me to house sit for them from 20-31 December 2010 in Mosman (that is where she is in childcare and where I believe her mother now lives), Balmoral or Cremorne.
    I am an animal lover so I am willing to look after any pets (of any variety), plants, pool and gardens etc, if required. I am extremely tidy and a non smoker.
    As my Aussie mobile will not be on when I am back in the UK until the next visit, please email if you would like to chat and I will call you back!

  • Experienced sitter.
    Hi. I'm looking to housesit house/ acreage / flat / boat / caravan etc.
    I'm a fit 66 year old retired business owner. I had my own business making and selling all types of chocolates. After a few years I got sick and tired of the government and all their paperwork. So with a friend I spent 5 years working my way around good ole Auz.
    I worked on farms, outback stations, and in factory's. Had the best time ever. Now I am an Author.
    Even though at the present moment I do not have any animals, I have had cats, dogs, a horse, birds, and believe it or not ants. I love being around them as they bring you peace and happiness.
    I do not smoke, or have wild parties. Sitting out under the stars at night I think is the best thing in the world to do.
    The house sitting job I have at the moment is on 5 acres with animals and ten large gardens.
    Please feel free to ring me any time 0417862410 and I will be only too happy to answer any questions that you might have. intothecrystal.com is my website for my for my book and resume. Have a great day, Betty Anderson

Occupation:
Yoga teacher; writer; house cleaner
Ages
46
  • I am a writer and yoga teacher living in Melbourne. I've kept my own home for 25 years, raising two children on my own. I am tidy, and used to work as a house cleaner, so I know how to keep a place clean in an environmentally friendly manner. My children are old enough to live their own lives now, so I'd be house sitting on my own, and loving it, as Maxwell Smart would say.
    I love animals and will happily look after fish, birds, dogs and cats. Walking dogs is no problem. Nor am I fussed if the animal sleeps on the bed with me.
    I am quiet, and like these times away from home to read, write, take walks, and generally just be. I'm not a wild party sorta girl. More a meditation and 'om' sorta girl. Deva Premal rather than AC/DC.
    I'm vegetarian, a non-smoker and non-drinker. My addictions are books, and chocolate.
    I don't mind a bit of gentle weeding in good weather, but draw the line at remodelling your garden or building a fence.
    I empty letterboxes daily, don't make phone calls (I would have my mobile phone with me for that), and my own laptop.
    Delconways Home Helpers and the City of Monash Home Help service can both attest to my honesty and integrity.

  • Experienced sitters in Sydney.
    My husband and I intend to be in Australia from Christmas 2010 until approx the end of Jan or Feb and are hoping to find a housesit on the Northern Beaches. We have family in North Curl Curl, so anywhere within a reasonable distance would be wonderful.
    Please don't let our age put you off. We are both fit and very active (at the moment we are completely renovating our home). My husband is a great reader and I love anything to do with Art/Design or DIY and we enjoy walking.
    We love animals having had pets all our lives. We are trustworthy and reliable and would treat your home and possessions with respect and your pets (if you have them) would be loved and cared for as if they were our own. We are happy to provide whatever information you might need to help you decide. Personal references, etc.
    We were lucky enough to get our first ever house-sit for 5 weeks at the beginning of the year.  The couple we sat for were wonderful. So having dipped our toe in the water we are looking forward to the next one.
    Our hope is that you would go on your trip knowing that your home/pets were in good hands and hopefully we would enjoy it and add to our experience as house-sitters.
    Thank
    you for considering us and hope to hear from you soon.
    Kind regards, Pat and Jimmy.

Occupation: Retired Secondary Teacher - experienced sitter
Ages
62
  • Experienced sitter
    Old-fashioned reliability and a belief that "your word is your bond". I've lived by that all my life and apply it to the house sits I do. I've already done a dozen house sit assignments ranging from Perth to New Zealand and generally involving at least one dog or cat.
    Unlike people looking for long terms I am mostly interested in shorter periods up to four or five weeks but if you're on the Sunshine Coast (particularly Buderim) and looking for a long-term sitter I'd love to hear from you.
    Thanks to house-sitting we've fallen in love with the Sunshine Coast, Coffs Harbour, Hobart and the Port Stephens area and look for repeat assignments there, though I'm open to experiencing other attractive spots.
    Often you can get a "feel" for people over the phone so I'm happy to chat to people looking for a house sitter but wanting to be sure they've got the right person.
    I've been retired for eight years now after a thirty year teaching career and love bowls, golf, reading, great coffees, walking.
    If I sound like the sort of person you'd be happy to entrust your house/plants/pets with then I'd love to hear from you.

    Also I built a 47 square house from the ground up, so am a handyman, including building my 50 ft pool.
    Would love to sit in East Sydney as I am starting a one day a week practice in Waverly.

  • I am an active professional, non smoking single women in her 50's, who walks, swims and does boxing regularly. I feel I am a perfect candidate for house sitting as I am neat and tidy, I have been renting in the city for the last 12 months to see if city living is for me, and it sure is.
    I have a property in the Shire that I am selling to purchase an apartment in the Pyrmont area, and house sitting is the perfect way for me to be able to stay close to the city and my office while my house is selling.
    As I have been on my own for a period of time, I am capable of doing Lawns, gardens & pools as I did these in my house, I can also change the odd washer, an advantage if something does go wrong.
    Given the opportunity I would look after your house or apartment with tender loving care as if it were my own.

Retired Journalist/Lecturer, Retired Fashion Buyer - EXPERIENCED SITTERS
Ages
54 & 53
  • RETIRED, RESPONSIBLE, ANIMAL LOVING, PROFESSIONAL COUPLE WHO LOVE A CHANGE OF SCENERY. EXPERIENCED SITTERS

    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 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 spent last year in the Grampians, Victorian Alps, Adelaide, Woodend - Victoria, Sunshine Coast 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.

  • I am commencing postgraduate research with a Sydney university early in 2010. I am seeking a longer term or a number of longer term housesitting opportunities for a period of at least four years. I have two wonderful, fully house trained and environmentally managed kitties and could readily care for others. I can not care for dogs but other pets and animals would be considered. As a house owner for the past 20 years I have a significant appreciation of ensuring that a home is secure, cared for and looks lived in. I enjoy gardening and lawn care taking with ride on mower and tractor experience. I have also renovated two homes so relatively savvy with maintenance needs. I would consider care taking a home or property with the option to live in a motorhome or separate self contained accommodation with power and privacy supplied. Swimming is my primary exercise and I have experience in pool maintenance. I am a reliable and responsible person and look forward to discussing genuine longer term opportunities.
