3 in a van - FT Travelling Family

More information about this house sitter

Hi there! We’re Anna, Jake & our daughter Savvy (2.5) — a young family originally from the sunny Gold Coast, currently travelling Australia full-time, and we absolutely love the lifestyle it brings—slow living, nature, and creating meaningful memories together.

In July 2025, we sold everything we owned, packed our lives into our 18.6ft caravan, and set off to explore this beautiful country indefinitely. Since then, we’ve travelled through Far North QLD, the NT, the Red Centre, SA, VIC and NSW — and along the way, we’ve had the privilege of house sitting and caring for homes.

Having our own space on the road means we’re very self-sufficient, but we love the opportunity to settle into a home, enjoy a new area, and provide peace of mind to homeowners while they’re away.

Anna works remotely in a corporate role. Jake is a qualified builder/carpenter, so he’s very handy and confident with general property maintenance and problem-solving if anything arises.

Savvy is a kind, gentle and adventurous little girl who loves the outdoors.

We live a very active and healthy lifestyle — we love running, hiking, 4WD adventures, swimming, and spending time at the beach. This is a big part of why we chose to travel full-time, and we naturally bring that same calm, grounded energy into the homes we care for.

We’re very much homebodies who prioritise family time, slow days, and being outdoors. We’re not party people—just a relaxed, grounded crew who enjoy a calm and peaceful home environment.

We are a clean, respectful, and reliable family who genuinely take pride in caring for homes as if they were our own. We understand the importance of trust when leaving your home, and we’re committed to maintaining it to a high standard.

We’re also very comfortable caring for pets, having owned and loved our own dog for 12 years, and are more than happy to help with animals, gardens, and general upkeep.

We currently have our sights set on the WA coastline and will be predominantly looking for house sitting opportunities in this region as we continue our travels.

We would love the opportunity to care for your home and ensure everything is safe, clean, and well looked after while you’re away. If you have any questions or would like references from previous homeowners, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re more than happy to provide them.

Warmly,
Anna, Jake & Savvy 🤍 Read more...
