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 am a single lady full of fun and life. I want to visit everywhere whilst I’m young enough and fit enough to be able to do so. I love all outdoor activities and spend many hours walking bush or beach. I have owned dogs and cats most of my life so get along well with our four legged friends. I am very neat, clean, and tidy and live little furry friends. Read more

I grew up on a cattle farm in central western NSW and love to care for pets, keep gardens watered, check stock, troughs and fences, etc. I know from my experiences of having house sitters at my home in Melbourne how important it is that the pot plants do actually get watered and that the pets and other animals always have food and water available.

Hi, I’m a fit and active single female retiree. I have my own home and garden, currently shared with my adult daughter and, half the time, my teenage granddaughters. It works but I often find myself hankering for solitude, some time and space to write, with the added benefit of some furry friends as company for cuddles, exercise and walks. I currently don’t have any of my own pets. Read more
