    Hi, we have now been house sitting for 18 months and we are truly enjoying the experiences this offers. We enjoy looking after all types of household pets including those without fur and also have experience with small farms.
    We are an energetic, enthusiastic and honest well meaning couple with family in Western Australia and Tasmania.
    We run a small IT Software and Services Company and our only requirement is that there is Telstra mobile phone coverage and internet access. We have a home in Maleny Queensland and like living in this special part of the world very much but since our children have grown up and moved on we are enjoying the opportunities house sitting offers to explore other areas of Australia.
    We love house sitting and do it so home owners can travel knowing that their homes and pets are safe and secure. We have police clearances if required but prefer to give names and telephone numbers of previous sits we have cared for.

  • 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

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.

Occupation: Retired Secondary Teacher - experienced sitter
Ages

  • 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.

We don't have any pets of our own as we live in an apartment but we always volunteer to take care of friends and families pets when they need a pet sitter. We love them and care for them as if they were our own (including fish). We will water and maintain any plants and flowers you may have as well as mow lawns and any other garden maintenance required. We are very clean and tidy and enjoy our quiet time together.
    Through house sitting, we hope to travel around the world while saving money to purchase our own home one day.

    I am interested in Sydney in October 2010 and February 2011, after that I would be very interested in any housesitting anywhere in Aus, Europe, NZ etc

  • I have had extensive experience caring for others and doing full time volunteer work for The salvation Army and for Military Veterans. I own two homes of my own, one which I have rented so I know the value of a good carer / tenant.
    I own a dog which gets treated with intense TLC, much to my wife's chagrin at times. She is a very senior nurse with an intense job so we find time apart is beneficial for both of us. Naturally, she would visit and assist me during her breaks.
    I prefer warmer climes, but if you are lovely people (as I'm sure you are) I'd be delighted to help you out.
