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.

You’ll know I’ve been there because the house will be clean and organised and your pets will be happy and healthy.
I have been a cleaner and organiser (still do occasionally) and like nothing better than a good spruce. I love animals - I have a cat.
I don’t need much and am pretty self sufficient.
I’ve got plenty of people who can vouch for me. ☺️ Read more
