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.

Hi everyone. New to Mindahome. Here's my story..
I've worked for the past 12 years as a chef but now I spend most of my time doing graphic art and only go into work when I am close to the city (I choose my hours).
This means I am generally at home day and night, so I can spoil your pets with plenty of attention.
Until a few years ago I lived in the same house in Ascot Vale for 20... Read more
