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.

House-sitting is a great way to save money until I can afford a place of my own, plus I enjoy experiencing different places. I love animals (was raised on a dairy farm), and am experienced in dealing with all their cute... Read more

I’m bubbly, extroverted and kind person. My parents were farmers so I grew up caring for all sorts of animals. I work as a chartered accountant for one of Australia’s largest superannuation funds which has a presence in most capital cities. I’m keen to pick up house sits in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane & Adelaide between my lease ending and my Europe holiday which I fly out late July 2025.
