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.

My home is in Hervey Bay and I like to house / farm sit.
Sadly my travelling companion Lucy is no longer with me, so I am now travelling without a dog.
I love exploring, bush walking and gardening.
I have only done one sit with this site but have attached some reviews from another. Most are repeats now.
Thanks Chris

We said goodbye to our beloved Ella , our gentle old girl with the softest soul , who crossed over to doggy heaven at 15. She was my best friend for half my life, a loyal companion through every season, and a dog-sister to my three daughters. Losing her broke something inside all of us… Christmas won’t be the same without her warm body... Read more

Hence holidays are often thrust upon us, in free time, with little notice. We love... Read more
