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.

My name is Luci. I'm 45 years old and have no pets of my own.
I have decided to do house sitting as a way to spend time with animals, and to get away from my place sometimes.
Due to my work hours, I am not suitable for house-sits with pets that can't be left alone during the day.
This is because I am gone Monday to Friday for 6 - 11 hours per day. How long I am gone also... Read more
