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.

I am a retired woman, just separated from a long term partner and looking to housesit while I sort out the next chapter of my life. I am active, I enjoy walking and ebiking. I have had cats and dogs in the past but none at the moment. I prefer smaller dogs who love a cuddle. I am very organised, clean and tidy and would look after your fur babies and home as though they were my own. Read more
