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.

Hello,
I hope you find a suitable house sitter who loves your pets as much as having your morning coffee or eating raw chocolate. I have a friend who owns a business called ‘I Love A Dog’, and she would say, dogs are like family, so feed them with healthy snacks that humans can eat too.
I’m not sure if that’s for reptiles or goldfish, but happy to pet-sit them too.
I grew up with... Read more

I decided to start house sitting a few years ago as something to do and get my animal fix! I don't have anything tying me down, and hopefully due to my free lifestyle, I can be of benefit to someone who needs their fur babies looked after when they go away.
