House Sitters available (Melbourne City, 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.

We didn’t start this journey for money or for convenience.
We just wanted to help others plan their holiday breaks with the peace of mind and knowledge their home and precious fur babies are well cared for. We know what it is like trying to tour Australia with a pet that is not welcome in many destinations and having to look for pet friendly sites.
My wife and I consider ourselves as the... Read more

Hi, our family live on a farm in south west Vic. We have 2 young daughters who are used to animals of all sizes. We have used many house sitters and have done multiple house sits and therefore know what it's like to entrust someone else with your house / pets. We treat others's pets & property with respect. We are easy going and enjoy outside life but sometimes need a bit of a city fix too! Read more

We are friendly and reliable. Recently returned to Australia after a diplomatic posting in Tokyo and looking to explore Australia. We love animals but are renovating our home in Canberra in 2026 so our plans to get a dog are on hold. Our much loved Shitsu X Teddy died before we went to Japan. We are keen to look after other dogs to get a sense of what our next dog could be. Read more

I’ve been using pet sitting as a way of settling into Melbourne and using it as a solid base while I search for an apartment in Melbourne. I am not due to restart working as a veterinarian until mid-November, so no pet will be left on their own for prolonged periods.
I have many years... Read more
