House Sitters available (Northern Rivers, New South Wales)
Our House Sitters list for all Australia is below. To view a list of house sitters willing to house sit in your area please use the drop down menu.
When filtering by State, you may see sitters from other states listed as well. That’s because those sitters have nominated they are willing to house sit in more than one state (some have chosen all Australia). They are all candidates for positions in the selected state.
We save you time. Replies from house sitters you contact can sometimes take a while and when they reply you may find your location and timing doesn’t suit their schedule. This means contacting house sitters one at a time can be a drawn out process. When you choose to contact a house sitter with us you will be asked to list your needs and when you do, available house sitters for your location and dates will be contacting you within hours.

A brother and sister, who are vets. A love of pets has always been a part of my life and my siblings. Sure to have come from our upbringing. A good house sitter needs to have more than a love of animals, though. You need to be very comfortable with me, while you are away.

Because of a death and a consequent cancellation, and a very close family member needing support, we are only able to accept a small number of bookings for later in 2024.
Shorter terms (nothing over say a fortnight) preferred please. We are limiting our sits to just a few these days. I won't be surprised if... Read more
