House Sitters available (Townsville and North 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.

I've been looking after animals of all kinds since I was a kid growing up in rural England.
As well as sharing my home with a 1 year... Read more

We are a retired couple (John was in IT and Joann a teacher) who love travelling....

We have since sold the motorhome so are now ready to holiday by car or plane.

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
