House Sitters available (Melbourne South, Victoria)
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’m a quiet guy, seperated from my high school sweet heart in November 2023 and have been couch surfing ever since.
I work 5 days a week but still very active when I get home.
I have 2 new foundlands who I miss dearly and a 1.5 year old son who is actually the most handsome boy, ever.
I’ve fostered all kinds of animals for the last 10 years. Very experienced when it comes to dogs.... Read more
