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.

While house-sitting on formal platforms is new to us, our connection with animals and the responsibility of caring for them runs deep. We’ve often looked after pets and properties informally to help friends and family out, and I personally grew up on a horse stud in Northern NSW, surrounded by dogs, where looking after animals wasn’t a hobby — it was simply part of daily life.
