Singleton
Hi, We require a house sitter from 5th April to 26th April 2010 (3 weeks).  Our home is located in beautiful Singleton about 300m to the most fantastic beach.  You will not have to mow lawns, do gardening however there is a catch (isn't there always).  I will need you to feed and love our babies which consist of a long-hair German Shepherd (very people friendly) a Siberian Husky (quite the character), 3 Eclectus Parrots, outdoor and Indoor Fish and 2 Chooks, which will provide you with breakfast every morning.  The feeding takes about 1/2 hour every morning and about 10 minutes at night so outside this your time will be your own.
Our home has 5 bedrooms and 3 toilets so if you are sick of your partner you have plenty of room to hide! The vege garden is approx 75sqm it does not require any maintenance other than watering via a bore (simply press a button), but you would be more than welcome to help yourself to some yummy organic vege to go with those fresh eggs. I mostly worry about my babies, so am looking for an animal lover.
Dates: 5th April to 26th April 2010
Area: Singleton, Western Australia

This prospect is more of a contemplation rather than a housesitter wanted ad :)
I travel for work often and its always a dilemma getting the pets cared for. Short term and consistent housesitters when I want them aren't available, and why would they be?:) So, the contemplation is to take the next step and attract a housesitter who will housesit with the owner part of the time. Hold it there....Not so easy! I am an independent female who has lived on my own for a very long time, and sharing my space will be a challenge, however, I believe that there potentially could be the right person out there where this arrangement just might work. If I don't test this avenue, I'll never know.
My home is large enough so that we wouldn't be falling over each other, there is plenty of outdoor space and the view is trees from any angle. I have a cat who thinks he's a dog, and one old dog who the king and is of good health, both indoor pets. I have grown up with pets as part of the family, and can't connect (and don't want to) with people who don't have the care factor where animals are concerned. While I am easy to be around, I could be irritatingly spontaneous, unpredictable at times, and very predictable at others, strong minded, opinionated, reclusive at times and social spasmodically. If you are interested getting to know whether this would work for you too, email me. There will have to be a connection as its a big step to share my home but my peace of mind knowing this might work for my pets is important. I am a young 53 (most of the time!) and I am looking for mature housesitter/sharer only. No couples unfortunately, the challenge for one person will be a momentous leap for me! Drop me a line, you never know :)desertpea@hotmail.com
Dates: Jan 2010 onward

  -644- Names . . Ric & Gillian Jay
  Dates available: July 20th 2009 ongoing (except August 22 - Sept 1st)
Preferred area: All areas
Occupation:
Retired Journalist/Lecturer, Retired Fashion Buyer - EXPERIENCED SITTERS
Ages
54 & 53
  • RETIRED, RESPONSIBLE, ANIMAL LOVING, PROFESSIONAL COUPLE WHO LOVE A CHANGE OF SCENERY. EXPERIENCED SITTERS

    We are fortunate to be an early retired couple with successful careers and home-ownership behind us.
    Ric is a former Journalist and Foreign Correspondent who ran newsrooms in various places and for the last few years worked as a lecturer part-time at QUT University in Brisbane. Gill was a senior Fashion Buyer for a large UK company, but became more interested in working with organisations that do some good in the community.

    We jumped off the treadmill relatively early, met 12-years ago in South America while we were doing voluntary work, and have been managing to balance our lives ever since with some less stressful paid work, voluntary work and lots of travel.
    We are fit, healthy, tidy, non-smoking, and reasonably handy around house and garden.  We feel equally comfortable in big cities and the bush and like to divide our time between the two.
    We genuinely like animals of all sorts - having grown up with dogs, cats, sheep and the odd budgie but our desire to keep travelling through our fifties and onwards means we can't keep our own pets.
    As travel and change are a big part of our lives, we are pretty flexible about times and places.  We have a 4WD with a slide-on camper that takes us just about anywhere around Australia.  We spent last year in the Grampians, Victorian Alps, Adelaide, Woodend - Victoria, Sunshine Coast and Brisbane.
    Having sold our home, we are trying a number of new locations around Australia before deciding where we would like to buy again.
    We are honest and reliable and will look after your home, garden and loved pets with genuine care and respect.
    We would be happy to provide references and any other information you require.  As we're often travelling out of phone signal, please Email us and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

    Hi. We are a young-at-heart active couple doing the big trip while we have the opportunity! We want to see Australia by experiencing life as the locals would - not just as tourists, so housesitting is perfect for us. We  love animals so looking after your pets is great too, as we have none of our own right now. My pets have included cats, guinea pigs, tropical fish, frogs, mice and birds and Joe is a definite dog-lover. Happy to learn about all others.

    We are mature, responsible and reliable: - having worked for local councils and government but fun-loving and adaptable. We love to explore and enjoy the great outdoors with golf, fishing and the beach being at the top of our list. We both grew up in the city, have lived overseas and enjoyed life in small country towns so we are open to all offers! Not knowing where we are heading next is all part of the adventure.

  • Hello, I am a teacher currently living in the UK. I had some really great house sitting experiences last year in WA and am available again from December onwards.
    I regularly come over to West Australia and absolutely love it. I have travelled extensively and often looked after peoples' homes on my travels. I am great with animals having had my own very much loved dogs and cats, chooks and geese. I am happy gardening and love plants. I am a non-smoker and have a clean driving licence. I like to keep my own home clean and tidy and loved, and would be very happy to love your home too and make sure that your pets / plants are happy and well looked after. I am easy-going, love the Australian way of life and can't wait to come back.

  • Hello. I am an experienced housesitter and would appreciate the opportunity to look after and appreciate your home. I am honest, reliable and attentive to details.
    I enjoy gardening, pets, my own space and a quiet lifestyle. I have recently left a long term relationship and am savouring the opportunity to enjoy more house sits and experience some reflective time for self. But also like being in a "home" and am highly respectful of others property and privacy. I will be protective of your space, security and belongings as if it where all my own.
    I enjoy organising senior executives all day, so caretaking someone's home, mail, pets would be very easy in comparison - and innate to me.
    I enjoy drawing and meditating and would appreciate being considered for a period of 3-6mths.
    I have a current police clearance, am 33 years old and very courteous. I am very environmentally conscience so if you have recycling or worm farm etc, I am more than happy to maintain this. Also am economical with water, energy usage etc. And more than able to manage any staff you may have - such as gardeners, cleaners etc. Or just as content to do myself.
    I realise how important it is to feel your home is taken care of and will be returned as you left it, if not cleaner! With fresh milk in the fridge when return home!
    Thank you. And I hope you have fabulous and peaceful time in your home away from home.

Occupation: Retired Secondary Teacher - experienced sitter
Ages
61
  • I'm booked up from now to the middle of March 2010.
    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 nearly 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. Thanks to house-sitting we've learned about and 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 six 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 are a retired English couple, non smoking, who just love cats; we come back to Australia each summer as we find European winters impossible so we have vowed to live in sandals forever. You could call us grey nomads with the aim to get to know our globe before we are too creaky to move.

    My hobby is sailing and learning more about Capt James Cook and Barbara excels at needlework.

  • 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.

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)

Retired Journalist/Lecturer, Retired Fashion Buyer - EXPERIENCED SITTERS
Ages
54 & 53
  • RETIRED, RESPONSIBLE, ANIMAL LOVING, PROFESSIONAL COUPLE WHO LOVE A CHANGE OF SCENERY. EXPERIENCED SITTERS

    We are fortunate to be an early retired couple with successful careers and home-ownership behind us.
    Ric is a former Journalist and Foreign Correspondent who ran newsrooms in various places and for the last few years worked as a lecturer part-time at QUT University in Brisbane. Gill was a senior Fashion Buyer for a large UK company, but became more interested in working with organisations that do some good in the community.

    We jumped off the treadmill relatively early, met 12-years ago in South America while we were doing voluntary work, and have been managing to balance our lives ever since with some less stressful paid work, voluntary work and lots of travel.
    We are fit, healthy, tidy, non-smoking, and reasonably handy around house and garden.  We feel equally comfortable in big cities and the bush and like to divide our time between the two.
    We genuinely like animals of all sorts - having grown up with dogs, cats, sheep and the odd budgie but our desire to keep travelling through our fifties and onwards means we can't keep our own pets.
    As travel and change are a big part of our lives, we are pretty flexible about times and places.  We have a 4WD with a slide-on camper that takes us just about anywhere around Australia.  We spent last year in the Grampians, Victorian Alps, Adelaide, Woodend - Victoria, Sunshine Coast and Brisbane.
    Having sold our home, we are trying a number of new locations around Australia before deciding where we would like to buy again.
    We are honest and reliable and will look after your home, garden and loved pets with genuine care and respect.
    We would be happy to provide references and any other information you require.  As we're often travelling out of phone signal, please Email us and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

    Hi. We are a young-at-heart active couple doing the big trip while we have the opportunity! We want to see Australia by experiencing life as the locals would - not just as tourists, so housesitting is perfect for us. We  love animals so looking after your pets is great too, as we have none of our own right now. My pets have included cats, guinea pigs, tropical fish, frogs, mice and birds and Joe is a definite dog-lover. Happy to learn about all others. (My interest in animals and nature even led me to uni and a degree in biology).
    We have both been houseproud homeowners for many years and would look after your property as if it were our own.
    We have worked in top class resorts (including stints as room attendants) and are keen gardeners.
    We are mature, responsible and reliable: - having worked for local councils and government but fun-loving and adaptable. We love to explore and enjoy the great outdoors with golf, fishing and the beach being at the top of our list. We both grew up in the city, have lived overseas and enjoyed life in small country towns so we are open to all offers! Not knowing where we are heading next is all part of the adventure.

    We have made short visits twice and really love the whole area. Now we would like to spend longer in the Perth area but feel that to do this we would need our own space. We would like the opportunity of getting to know more of the oz lifestyle and living as part of a community as we are considering a more permanent move.
    We are coming to the end of our stay in Perth and have enjoyed our first housesit. We could not have asked for a better introduction to housesitting. Thanks Gab and Wim, not forgetting the dogs Tess and Ella. Hope to return to Perth area for Christmas.

Our plan is to eventually settle here. Both non-smokers and non-drinkers, we enjoy living a clean and quiet, but active lifestyle. Magdalena is a semi-retired IT-professional from Germany. She is a meticulous house- keeper, able to stay home mostly as company for pets, and as extra security for the house, as she works from home. She loves walking in general, but far more with a lovely dog-companion.  We would be very happy to take your dog to the beach, if this is OK with you or other interesting places, so he/she  can experience different environments. You can be assured  that your pets get enough exercise.
    Lyndon is a Kiwi, currently working as a Transport Manager in Welshpool at one of Perth's transport-companies. He has spent many years living on farms, as a contract logger in pine forests in N.Z., Tasmania and N.S.W. He is also a capable handyman and gardener. During any spare time, he is working on his first novel - ten year plan!
    Being proud home-owners ourselves, back in Christchurch N.Z., we do really appreciate the need to respect and take good care of other people s homes, gardens and their belongings.
    So far we have done about ten house-sits in and around Perth , varying in length from ten days to five months. We truly love animals. So far we have cared for cats and dogs, budgies, galahs and gold-fish. While house-sitting, we have gained pool-
    maintenance experience.
    We are happy to provide police-clearances, as well as excellent references from previous satisfied house-owners.
    Our intention is that you can leave with confidence and enjoy your holidays, knowing that your pets are very much loved and cared for and your property safe and well looked after.
    Thank you and we are looking forward to hearing from you.
    Regards, Lyndon and Magdalena
     
    PS. We welcome all enquiries regarding house-sitting in Perth within approx. 75 km of the city. Sorry, but at the moment, due to Lyndon's work, we wouldn't be able to accept a house-sit location further away.

  • I currently work for a company specialising in commercial building rehabilitation, and in February 2010, will return to university to begin a degree in Environmental Management, which will compliment my degree in Aquaculture.
    Being a mature age student the idea of house-sitting appeals to me, giving me the opportunity to study undisturbed in a homely environment.
    I have previously house-sat, and enjoyed looking after pets (whether they had scales, feathers or fur), and even believe the pets have been sad to see me go. (References can be provided).
    As well as offering pet-sitting experience, I have 2 years of garden landscaping experience that could be applied to keeping those much loved plants in your garden alive.
    I would prefer stays of longer than 2 months, and up to 12 months where available.
    I can assure any home owner/s that their house will be cared for and respected until they return.

  • We are a retired married couple travelling around Australia with our elderly Jack Russell, Maggie. We have a large (30ft) 5th wheeler motorhome. We do not necessarily have to live in your house as we are self-contained and require only power and water and space to park the rig. I am an IT Consultant and Irene has worked in banks, offices, etc. We come from Dubbo, NSW where we had a house on 40 acres with all the usual animals and experience with farm maintenance. Irene is very experienced in the care of horses. We are both active and have no medical conditions. We love animals of all sorts and they seem to bond with us. We prefer rural or regional locations. We are reliable and honest and not afraid of work.
    We would be delighted to look after your property, animals and gardens just as if they were our own.

  • Experienced sitters - currently sitting in Perth and have basic small farm experience.
    We are an energetic, enthusiastic and honest well meaning couple with family in the Morley Perth WA and Barrington TAS areas. We run a small IT Software and Services Company and currently have a home in Maleny Queensland and like living in this special part of the world very much. However, since our children have grown up and moved on we would like to visit them periodically but not be underfoot.
    We regularly walk for exercise and love animals and until recently had our own but now we just look after our neighbours from time to time or when they just pop in for a visit.
    If we can make your trip away more comfortable knowing that we are looking after your home and pets whilst visiting our family that would be perfect.
    We are not too concerned about dates or length of house sit so please call or email if we can help.

  • Hello. I am an experienced housesitter and would appreciate the opportunity to look after and appreciate your home. I am honest, reliable and attentive to details.
    I enjoy gardening, pets, my own space and a quiet lifestyle. I have recently left a long term relationship and am savouring the opportunity to enjoy more house sits and experience some reflective time for self. But also like being in a "home" and am highly respectful of others property and privacy. I will be protective of your space, security and belongings as if it where all my own.
    I enjoy organising senior executives all day, so caretaking someone's home, mail, pets would be very easy in comparison - and innate to me.
    I enjoy drawing and meditating and would appreciate being considered for a period of 3-6mths.
    I have a current police clearance, am 33 years old and very courteous. I am very environmentally conscience so if you have recycling or worm farm etc, I am more than happy to maintain this. Also am economical with water, energy usage etc. And more than able to manage any staff you may have - such as gardeners, cleaners etc. Or just as content to do myself.
    I realise how important it is to feel your home is taken care of and will be returned as you left it, if not cleaner! With fresh milk in the fridge when return home!
    Thank you. And I hope you have fabulous and peaceful time in your home away from home.

    I was granted the Aged Pension in Australia in December, 2008. In order to take my pension overseas, I must first spend two years in Australia. How better to do this, than by taking care of other people's homes.
    We are both very active, love animals, and my wife is a dedicated indoor and outdoor gardener. She is also very house proud and keeps an exceptionally clean house at all times. In my free time I like to walk and swim. I have just started working on my second novel.
    We would care for your property and pets as if they were our own.

We are very house proud, love to garden, and looking to house sit for those out there ready and willing. We are a professional pair, both taking a huge amount of pride in our surroundings - my best and worst quality is that I am fastidious when it comes to cleanliness; my pet hate is a messy home. We are both looking forward to giving your property the tender loving care it needs while you are away on your adventure. Above all, our job is to keep your property the way you left it. Verbal and/or written references are available at your request. Should you need or want to know more, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you. Dan & Jarrod
