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'm a long-time holiday house renter who has recently enjoyed house sitting with another family member, so I've now registered my own account. I'm super reliable, love animals and would leave your house at last as, if not cleaner than as I found it.
I'm hoping to travel more, and would love to help others who also wish to travel whilst leaving their homes, gardens and pets in safe care. Read more
