• 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.

• Hello!
  Do you live on the lower northern beaches of Sydney and want to go on holiday for 3-8 weeks while feeling assured that your home and pets will be taken care of responsibly and lovingly in your absence? Then...
  HIRE A GRANDMA! That's me!
  I am a very youthful, energetic and well- travelled Grandma who lives in Arizona, U.S.A. I am an experienced house and pet sitter here and would like to do the same in Sydney while I spend time with my grandkids in Dee Why.
  I chose to become a house and pet sitter as caring for a home and pets is something I have done all my life and love to now be able to do for other people. I have lived in the same home for over 30 years, so I know what it feels like to want your home to be organized, clean and safe. I used to have my own pets, but now I love caring for other people's dogs, cats, and small birds. I am also very organized so I can take care of any extra matters for you like mail, messages and vehicles while you are gone. I can provide house/pet sitting references from my repeat customers here in Arizona.
  I would love to come to Sydney (as close to my grandkids in Dee Why as possible) for about 3-8 weeks and can work my visit around your schedule so I can look after your house and any pets while you are away.
  Please call me or email me at below or call my granddaughter Rebecca in Sydney on 0416521977 and she can connect us. I use Skype, so we can meet and talk from overseas.
  Look forward to talking to you soon! Shirley (my grandkids call me Bubby!)

• My husband and I are just moving back to Sydney having worked in Wagga Wagga for a couple of years. We are expecting our first child in March and for the first time I will be a stay at home mum! I will be home during the day to take care of your house/pets/garden and would very much enjoy doing so (and our new family member will not be big enough to make any mess, and we wouldn't be entertaining small children).
  We are experienced house sitters, looking after the valuable estates of some of the consultants in our current workplace whilst they are on holidays, including looking after pets. We are both committed Christians.
  We will be in Sydney for all of 2010, so longer stints will be more convenient for us, but we're happy to think about doing shorter periods too. Please don't hesitate to call or email if you have any further questions.

• My name is Marina. I have just returned to Australia, after living in England for a year and a half. I'm a 32 year old professional woman; an award-winning author, a trainer/ guest-speaker, a clinical consultant to adults and children, and a regular television presenter on children's issues.
  I am house-proud, responsible, respectful, and neat. I would like to house-sit anywhere around the Sydney metropolitan area or around the Bondi area, so that I can be situated close to work. House-sitting appeals to me very much right now. It would enable me to care for your home, whilst giving me time to settle back into Australia, and relocate my belongings. I would like to house-sit for several months, and am available for an immediate start.
  I am happy to provide you with further details and can provide excellent references.
  You can enjoy your holiday, secure in the knowledge that your home and belongings are being lovingly cared for.
  I look forward to hearing from you soon, Marina

• We have been house sitting in NZ although I had done a lot of it in the Hunter Valley before we married.
  We own a motor-home and have loved the travelling but have a few problems with it at present so would like to keep up the life style of moving and caring for pets, but I might add that they do get very spoilt.
  We love walking and getting to know different areas.
  We are honest reliable and caring about pets, homes and gardens.
  We also love to meet people from all walks of life.

• I'm booked up from now to the middle of March 2010.
  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 nearly 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. Thanks to house-sitting we've learned about and 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 six 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.

• Currently sitting lovely home near Centennial Park and enjoying the experience immensely. Wonderful to be looking after animals again.
  Whilst Hugh is currently looking for work in the gardening/horticultural area in Sydney, Jenny is loving her recent appointment to the role of Marketing Manager at the Belvoir Street Theatre.
  We came to Australia from N.Z. (Hugh, this month- Jenny in March) for "one last challenge" before we retire - not that coming to Australia was a challenge !
  Hugh spent most of his life fruit growing in Hastings (NZ), so is used to working outdoors/ gardening and all that that entails. Jenny has had a number of roles in marketing, her last being the M/M for the Napier (sister city to Hastings) City Council.
  We have always had a love of animals and have kept dogs and cats as pets on our property and enjoyed their company.
  We are both fit and active, clean and tidy and are eagerly looking forward to getting to know this beautiful city of Sydney.

Dates available: From 18th August onwards
Preferred area: Sydney, Blue Mountains, Wollongong, Central Coast
Occupation: library technician & reflexologist and internet marketer, counsellor and classical singer
Ages 28 & 36

• We are a family of 3: mum, dad and 2 year old girl. We're returning to Sydney, to stay, on the 18th of August. Mum's a library technician and reflexologist. Dad's an internet marketer, counsellor and classical singer.
  We're interested in housesitting for at least a month, or preferably for as long as possible (up to 1 year would be great!); in other words rent-free living in exchange of taking care of your house, garden, cat, dog, etc.
  My wife's had plenty of experience with animals and my daughter absolutely loves them! However, we're only willing to deal with 1 or 2 cats OR 1 dog at a time. So if you have a zoo at your place, we're not interested :-) This is probably the only thing we'd be really adamant about.
  We're looking for preferably a house, with a yard/garden and enough space for the 3 of us (i.e.: a room for us and one for our daughter to sleep in, at least. 3 rooms ideal). We're looking within Sydney, and also, surrounding areas: blue mountains, central coast, wollongong... anywhere no farther than 2 hours by train from Sydney CBD, and with easy access to public transport.
  We're interested in self-sufficiency. Growing our own veggies, own energy, water, etc. We're 80% raw and also vegetarian. We love to be at home and to spend as much time as possible together as a family.
  If you need anything else: photos, references... anything... just let us know...
  And, if you're not sure that we would go for your place, contact us nonetheless, we can be flexible if the right person and place come along. Thanks!

• 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)

  We are having major renovations carried out on our property in Kensington which frees us for three weeks of house-sitting and at the same time we would enjoy house sitting your pets.  We miss our regular morning and evening walks with our dogs, so we look forward to looking after someone else's. 
  When it comes to running a house, we run a very tight ship and are fastidious about cleanliness and keeping things up to the mark.
  We can supply excellent references.

• Responsible married couple who are quiet, non smoking, active, house proud.
  Nic is currently studying completing double degree at Wesley College, Drummoyne. He works part-time teaching singing (away from home) & as a garden maintenance/pool cleaner. Jo is a qualified Interior Designer working part time as a waitress and cleaner.
  We love pets, animals and the outdoors. We are happy to care for the garden & pool.
  We have both rented and are able to supply excellent references and are willing to contribute to household costs incurred during our house sit.
  We want to house sit while Nic finishes his study and to experience the responsibility of looking after a home and for the home owner to be able to go away and relax knowing their home and animals are in safe hands.
  Have a house sit booked for May 2009
