  • Hello to all home owners out there looking for a caring responsible sitter.

  • 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.
    We are currently in Perth WA and are available between February 9 & 18, 2012 and then later from October 2012 to March 2013 either in Perth WA or Tasmania.
    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 are happy to be within 30km of the CBD and preferably on the north side of the river in Perth so long as there is mobile coverage and Internet access.
    Thanks John & Melissa.

  • 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 realise it is very difficult to select someone to look after your home and beloved pets. I am a retired single lady living in Noosaville, Queensland. I have 3 children, 2 living near me here with 2 wonderful grandsons and I have another son living in Dubai. I moved from Sydney 2 years ago after working in Environmental Management at State Forests of NSW for 13 years. Prior to my leaving Sydney I finished a 3 year Adv Diploma in Counselling. I lived on the northern beaches and loved to sail on Pittwater for many years. I was a committee member of the Royal Motor Yacht Club for 4 years.
    I have come to Sydney on several occasions to house sit for the Cruise Captain of the yacht club. Written or verbal references can be easily obtained.
    I lived in outback NSW on large properties for 22 years and thus have had many different animals all of which I lovingly cared for.
    I am an honest, reliable, practical and very capable person with a good sense of humour.

Ages

  • Hi, I'm Rachael, thanks for reading my information. I am keen to homesit for you and I am available again 1st Feb 2012 to home sit anywhere within a 40km distance from New Norfolk Tasmania.
    I am currently booked until 31st January 2012.
    I own two homes which I have lovingly renovated and landscaped myself to make them homes so I understand the importance of respecting, loving and caring for your home because otherwise it is just a house. Both of my homes are rented out for extended periods and I am looking for houses, units, rural or other to care for as a home in the mean time.
    I grew up on a farm and have a lot of experience with all types of animals, including goats, pigs, sheep, cows, horses, ducks, geese, turtles, chooks, and of course cats and dogs to name a few. I have owned either cats or dogs all my life. Sadly no pets at the moment so I am keen to homesit for pets as well if the opportunity presents itself.
    Along with animal experience I have also worked in orchards, cash crops, and gardens.
    I run Joy Yoga and Massage in New Norfolk as a yoga instructor and massage therapist. You can look up my business at
    www.joyyogaandmassage.webs.com
    I am 33, non-smoker, non-drinker. My hobbies include yoga, reading, cycling, walking pooches (when I have them), gardening, research on the internet (I have my own wireless internet), and spending time with my family who are local to New Norfolk.
    I am fully aware of the responsibility and trust required of the home sitter, and I am happy and confident to undertake this role. I can assure you, the home owner, that during my stay I will care for and leave your home as you left it. I will respect your home, your personal wishes and your neighbours.
    I am available on mobile whenever you need me (providing there is mobile reception of course!), and email as well (below) - please feel free to contact me any time!

retired uni lecturer/ESL teacher, yoga instructor, research student

Ages

  • As Annette is half-way through her Masters in Medical Science degree (the effect of yoga on breast cancer survivors), we are looking to house-sit a small property in the Hobart or Launceston areas for 12 months beginning in October.
    We left Sydney over 3 years ago and have since worked as volunteer rangers and assistant teachers in an aboriginal school in the N.T.
    We have most recently looked after houses in Hobart (12 months) and Howden (3 months). We are meticulous in our approach to all properties and grounds that we care for, treating them as if they were ours. We have a house in Sydney which is currently being let and have an awareness of the property situation from the owners' perspective.
    We have, of course, references relating to our house-sitting role, as well as from N.T. Parks Service.
    We would be very happy to look after your house and promise to maintain it in the best possible way.

  • Hello, I am a mature, non-smoking, quiet-living professional female and have been housesitting continuously in Hobart for over 10 years. I love the lifestyle, challenge and variety of housesitting, the fact that it means I get to live in beautiful homes and care for people's lovely pets. As a keen traveller, it allows me to save for my next trip and I intend to keep housesitting and travelling for as long as I can.
    I have a great network of satisfied homeowners who contact me for repeat stays, who would be happy to give you feedback.
    I prefer the metropolitan area, have my own car and am happy to care for houseplants and to undertake basic gardening maintenance.
    My aim is to help homeowners enjoy a worry-free holiday, to ensure that their pets are happy and healthy and their home is in as good condition or better than they left it when they return.
