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.

Robert and I retired to the sunshine coast in 2013 with our beautiful Jack Russell "Woody". Sadly we said good-bye to our little man 7th December 2023. His care was a priority every time we travelled so we appreciate the peace of mind pet owners need when leaving home for pleasure or business.
We owned and operated a boarding cattery for just over 20 years before retiring. I (Glenda) have... Read more

Photos provided are from dogs/cats I've either looked after or walked recently. I've looked after so many anxious dogs where their owners have warned me they will bark & cause a fuss when they first... Read more
