Sitters Wanted - Tas

Home Owners - if you find no one suitable below
we will run your "sitter wanted" ad for free

Click here
( Most home owners won't need to advertise as needing a sitter
as they can usually find someone suitable from our database
at the time they start looking )

House sitting is based on the seemingly antiquated concept of TRUST.
The owners trust the sitter to do the right thing, be honest regarding their experience/abilities and reliably diligent in their expected duties.
The sitters trust the sit will be as portrayed by the owners in initial discussions.
Both trust us as site managers to also do the right thing.

We have been running this site for ten years and have had almost zero incidences of abuse of the trust and privilege involved in house sitting
 - unfortunately
the odd occurrence has occurred where things have not been as they should.

Regarding a recent caution we posted in regard to home/pet owner "Cheryl"

This was in response to a report from an established sitter and accepted based on their history with us.
Our caution was meant to stress the need to visit the property prior to agreement (if possible) to ensure everyone knew what was involved.
Unfortunately, we failed to offer Cheryl the chance to respond or comment on the purported need for this caution, which we most definitely should have.
In view of this alone, we apologise to Cheryl.
In view of her subsequent comments on the actual sit, we may well have added insult to injury.
Again, we apologise to Cheryl - and wish her horse a quick recovery

I need a HOUSE/HORSEY SITTER: I have a beautiful rural home on 6 acres surrounded by peace, quiet, mountains and views! 20 mins to main town for shopping or 1 hour to cities of Devonport or Launceston. Shops for supplies are 10 mins away. I have a heat pump and wood fire place, gas hot water.
I have 1 dog who has her own attitude! BUT she may be away at my sisters house as she likes to play with her friends there. 2 spoilt cats, my little mouse catchers! and 2 horses; the main  reason I need a house/horse sitter.
I prefer someone with experience around horses but have had non experienced people before, it just needs an awareness and willingness to learn..
My horses require 1 hour in the morning and again one hour in the evening/late afternoon, EVERY DAY.. to be attended too. It's very easy work but the worst of it, well some love it! is I pick up their poo!! this takes 30 mins am/pm and keeps me fit! pushing a wheel barrow and filling a bucket.....my nieces even do it....you will either love it or hate it! In the morning they require some tidy up (left over hay from the night before, hay bags re filled) and usually some tape fence adjustment as they are strip grazed. The evening requires another poo run and hay nets/bags put out and a feed mixed and given to them.
 
I am away in July! soon! and each month I  work away a lot so please email me any interest as help is always appreciated and my home is a nice place to chill or visit the area and I enjoy sharing it.
Dates: July 2009 and various after that ongoing.

  • Experienced Sitter enjoying the experience.
    An active and fit (retired) Social Worker, I have returned to Australia after two years in Argentina and have committed myself for several house sits this year. I have enjoyed the opportunity to visit various centres in Victoria and NSW.

    My Brother in Law is an Architect in the Sydney suburb of Pymble and I am sure he would be willing to vouch for me as would any previous house owners.

Occupation: Retired - Experienced sitter
Ages

  • 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.

Occupation:
geophysicist and home clean service (retired)
Ages 64 & 50
  • 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)

Just in January this year I had an motor accident and I am on workers compensation trying to get back into the work force but choosing a different career as I am physically unable to do my current job.

  • We are retired professionals who have just sold our 22 acres hobby farm in Kingaroy Qld. We are experienced in caring for animals of most varieties and willing to learn more. Because of our background a small holding to look after would be ok as would be a town property.
    We have a very old Dalmatian that travels with us. She is no problem as she also has her own bed. (But this may change due to her age!! so contact us anyhow).
    We are quiet (no parties), fussy and love gardening, bush walks and reading, understand bores and water saving.
    We are looking to do some housesitting all over before deciding where to live.

Ages: 68 & 69.
  • We are an independent retired professional couple who would very much like to undertake a period of housesitting in either Australia or New Zealand. During the past few years we have spent 2 very enjoyable holidays in each of these countries and wish to return for a longer visit to either country as residents for a longer period rather than as tourists.
    Both of us are non smokers and in very good health. We are very active by playing golf and bowls and by walking, swimming and gardening.
    As homeowners ourselves we appreciate the concerns any one will have in ensuring that their house is well cared for and we would treat the property with the same care and consideration as we do our own.
    References can be provided regarding our suitability including for one us a current police check.
    We should be very happy to discuss with you your needs and our mutual expectations as well as providing you with any other information you might require.  Thank you.
