House Sitters available (Illawarra, 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 also like to cook, which just isn't possible in the... Read more

We are both recently retired and traveling with two poodles, Lexi and Leo. They are very friendly and would fit in with all types of pets.
Both of us understand how hard it is to travel while you have pets and are looking forward to helping out to care for them.
We have lots of family and friends around Australia and are traveling to hopefully visit them all on our journey.
