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.

We are a family of 3 looking to assist with short house sits in NSW. We are new to this and have yet to obtain our first sit. We often have sitters at our place but thought we would try being on the other side. We have experience with dogs, cats, fish, birds, rabbits and chickens. We have pets but ours will stay home with our sitter when we travel.

I am a solo traveller exploring this wonderful country in my caravan. My four legged friend, Chloe (a 15 yr old Jack Russel X), has kept me company. We left home, Gold Coast, in February 2022 and have loved every minute. Chloe is a very chilled dog who has slotted into caravan life remarkably well. She has been through dog obedience classes and gets on well with or ignores other animals.
