House Sitters available (Barossa, Light and Lower, South Australia)
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.

Since my first sit in the leafy suburb of North Adelaide in 2016, my house-sitting journey has taken me around Australia and across the globe. I've cared for cuddly cats in a boutique Berlin apartment, a playful pup in non-stop New York and feuding ducks in sunny Brisbane. My experiences have taken me to Mallorcan beaches and over the Swiss Alps, but now, after several years on the road, I'm... Read more

Originally French, i have been living in Australia for 11 years. More specifically, in Melbourne. I think i reached a point where I'd like to move to a new and warmer state. But before doing so, i would like to experience it the way locals do, on a day a day to day basis, with a routine. Also, i am not sure of the location yet so house sitting gives me the chance to explore my options.
I love... Read more

We are reliable, honest and very house proud couple.
We like to do housesitting as we find this often takes us to places previously unknown to us. Dave is a bit of a dog tragic and, as we no longer have one of our own he will spoil yours if you have one.
We regularly housesit in Queensland and regularly do a small farmsit in Victoria.

My name is Silvia, I am a German trained Nurse and Exercise Physiologist who lives in the ACT since 2011. I would love to have a dog. However, due to my love of travelling and my passion for Motorbike riding it would not be fair to leave the dog too long on day trips, or pass him on too often when away on weekends or during travels. I therefore thought it perfect to combine both.
