    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.

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.

Pensioner

Ages

  • 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.

We are 56 & 61 in the best time of our lives, non-smokers, house proud people and animal lovers.

    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.
