House Sitters available (Darling Downs and South West, Queensland)
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.

A brother and sister, who are vets. A love of pets has always been a part of my life and my siblings. Sure to have come from our upbringing. A good house sitter needs to have more than a love of animals, though. You need to be very comfortable with me, while you are away. I am a caring, responsible person, with empathy for you, the homeowner. (I am more than grateful, if invited to house sit... Read more

We live in the snowy mountains and sometimes look for Housesitting opportunities on the coast to refresh and relax.
We will care for your animals as we do our own (we have a menagerie of dogs, birds, fish, goats, alpacas and a cow).
We have had Housesitters before on the farm and so know what a good one looks like- and that’s what we do!

I decided to start house sitting a few years ago as something to do and get my animal fix! I don't have anything tying me down, and hopefully due to my free lifestyle, I can be of benefit to someone who needs their fur babies looked after when they go away. I am a therapist on the Gold Coast and work from a clinic a couple of days per week, but the rest of the time, I'm pretty much a home body... Read more
