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.

I am now fully retired and enjoy travelling and exploring new places through house and pet sitting. This arrangement allows me to spend time with animals without the responsibilities of pet ownership. I embrace slow travel and immerse myself in local cultures by living like a local instead of staying in a sterile hotel room. Life is meant to be lived fully, and I intend to do just that. Read more
