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.

responsible positions as a primary school teacher (Mary, 61) and Species

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

Occupation:
Self employed - Experienced sitters
Ages
50ish
- Hi, We are home based self employed IT
professionals with over five years house and pet sitting experience.
We have been away from home this time since March 2009 because house
sitting has kept us very busy indeed visiting family and revisiting repeat
sits across the country. Our software and services business is nearing
it's 30th birthday and our clients are benefiting from us house-sitting
allowing us to devote more time on site with them during our travels.
Home for us, when we are there, is Maleny in Queensland just north of the
Glass House Mountains and about 30kms inland from Caloundra but we love to
visit our grown family now that their work has moved them to the other
side of the country and they can't visit us as much as we'd like.
Besides time with family house sitting allows us the opportunity to visit
and experience all manner of Aussie locations some off the beaten track
and others in the thick of city living.
We regard our duties house sitting to be extremely important lending much
needed support for home owners, eliminating most of the stress of leaving
their extended family behind while they travel, sometimes for very lengthy
periods of time.
As homeowners ourselves we have plenty of experience looking after and
maintaining homes, pools and gardens of all shapes and sizes and we've
also on occasion managed small & medium sized farms. We will treat your
home and belongings with respect while ensuring that your pets get plenty
of TLC. We are very much home bodies preferring to enjoy a more relaxed
casual lifestyle.
We have police clearances and excellent references from our
previous house-sitting adventures and we are happy to send you their
contact details.
Our number is 04 1155 1520 if you'd like to call us or if you prefer, send
us a message or email and we'll call you. If possible we like to meet with
you before accepting a house sit enabling you to make an informed decision
as to whether we are the right sitters for you.
We'd ideally like to be within 30km of the CBD and preferably on the north
side of the river in Perth but we're also interested in venturing to other
areas so long as there is mobile coverage and Internet access.
Thanks John & Melissa.

Occupation:
Pensioner
Ages
63
-
I'm a single male, registered builder and a
pensioner. I live in a house that I've refurbished over the past 10 years,
but non-the-less the owners intend to knock this old house down on April 1
so I've got to move out.
I'm reasonably healthy, well educated yet a practical doer. Able to
converse on many topics. I've no vices, no addictions, don't smoke or do
drugs. But I'm not against having a beer. I have a good ear for music. A
good eye for art. I enjoyed very much visiting the Melbourne museum and
war memorial. Anzac Day touches my heart.
I'm straight, I do like the opposite sex. Maybe, somewhere over the
rainbow, I will find the right woman for me.
Hobbies: fishing, mechanics, welding and fabricating. I like watching
Aussie rules football, cricket is okay. Animals like me. Pets study us,
and I think studying them is interesting. I love watching David
Attenborough's productions -
I get off thinking about God's handiwork in all things.
My time frame:
About June 1st I shall head over to the US to
seem Mum and spend a good and needed 4.5 months with her. She will be most
pleased to have me. Her 90th is coming up, she's getting old so I need to
put in the time with her. Then I shall return about October 10.
Making most of the House Sitting opportunity:
I would like to shift out of WA and head east. So I'd like to use this
opportunity for house sitting to have a look around in on our Eastern
Seaboard. I've visited a few times and liked it over there. I've been to
Sydney and Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane. But like cooler climates. I like
Melbourne people. I like Melbourne. I'd like to visit Tasmania. I like
country towns, country people. So House sitting could prove to be an
opportunity for me.

- I am experienced house
sitter who is extremely conscious of the need not to let down home
owners. My greatest disappointment is having to refuse owners who have had
arrangements in place only to have a sitter cancel at the last minute. If
I commit to you then you can plan your absence in absolute peace.
I have an impeccable character being a Justice of the Peace, a retired
RAAF officer and a member of The Salvation Army. I own three homes in
Atlanta Georgia which I have rented out so am totally empathetic to the
need of home owners.
I have a gorgeous Fox Terrier who owns our home with my wife and I. My
wife has a job here in Canberra so does not accompany me on Full Time
assignments; however, she will join me during my assignment.
I would prefer the availability of a vehicle although in major cities I
prefer the use of public transport.
I am in great demand...obviously I must be doing something correct.
Therefore, its advisable to get in quickly. Overseas assignments are
considered.

The past eight years we have spent in Melbourne hosting overseas students,
we feel it is time for just us to do something together.
We spent 15 years driving two up together on interstate runs. We both grew
up in the country in northern Victoria. We are both handy people at many
general tasks. We have a lifetime of knowledge between us.
We can supply references and are both honest and trustworthy.
We would follow your directions faithfully and care for your property and
pets as you would.

We are a married couple of fit, active,
recently retired teachers. We enjoy travelling and believe that the only
authentic way to experience a place is to stay for an extended period as
a local. We are honest, trustworthy and can provide impeccable
references.
We have a small farm, are fond of animals and so are familiar with
caring for pets. Neil is a furniture maker and has many practical skills
useful in maintaining a home. Karral is a passionate
gardener and very capable of looking after your garden and plants.
We took part in a very successful house swap with a couple in the UK in
1996 and have recent house sitting experience in Australia. We
used house sitters for our own property when we have been travelling
so are well aware of the importance of providing a caring environment
for pets and maintaining property to a high standard.

About Us;
Cheryl & John: After recovering from breast cancer 2010, we decided it was
about time to see this beautiful country we live in and make the most of
every day. We are 56 & 61 in the best time of our lives, non-smokers,
house proud people and animal lovers. We have leased our house in NSW and
understand how important it is to get the right people to take care of
your greatest asset, your home and your loved ones.
We have 9 years previous experience in house/animal sitting with
references and a current police check. It is important to us
that your house is kept in excellent condition and we are recognised for
taking care of everything as if it were our own.
We arrived in Perth WA in February 2011 and have added another 16
successful house sitting assignments to our list. All owners have given us
excellent references and these are available for perusal.
Please don't hesitate to give us a call to discuss your needs.
What We Offer;
We have had the pleasure of house/pet sitting in NSW as well as in WA and
as we travel around Australia I'm sure our list will grow. We love animals
and have taken care of all sorts of species, they warm to us easily. We
are both healthy and active and enjoy taking pets for a walk or run with
our bikes. We have experience in giving medications if this needs to be
done. We are keen gardeners and John being a Fitter has carried out
repairs if needed. We take pride in being clean and organised and will
leave your house in good condition.
Our references support this and we are happy to send these for perusal.
Additional Info & Requirements;
Wanted: a house sit assignment in or close to Launceston from
