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.

I have worked all my adult life, and am now enjoying travelling.
My plan this year, if Aust. remains Covid free, is to stay in places I've never heard of, or been to, previously. Managing to do that successfully, so far.
I own an AWD vehicle, so can drive almost anywhere. Would appreciate a safe car parking spot.
I have owned a few properties, all on the Eastern side of Australia.... Read more

*Currently in WA until at least autumn 2026.
I live on the road and travel Australia with my kelpie and my own caravan. This caravan is self contained and it is usually my preference to stay in it unless the home owner requests me to stay inside the house. A power and water hookup is desirable and access to a shower, toilet and laundry ideal, but not essential.
