In our 7th year of continuous house-sits

More information about this house sitter

Bonjour et G'day!
We are an Australian- Dutch family who embarked on a house-sitting journey in 2018. We applied for a château sit in the South -West of France and were able to stay there for more than 2 fab years . During Covid we were offered a long-term housesit back in Sydney ( Windsor) on 5 acres with Alpacas and English sheepdogs. We decided to take the offer at the end of 2020, mainly for the kids prefering schools in Australia.
In France we looked after a Château amidst 12 hectares of vines. We are ( now) very experienced with a lot of different machinery like ride -on mowers, tractors, fork lifts also septic tanks, quad bikes, trailers, pool maintenance, professional wood choppers and an acquired taste for Bordeaux supérieur ?
We love animals and are totally respectful of other people's belongings.
In 2022 we moved into another longterm house sit on the leafy North Shore of Sydney. ... In 2023 we were asked to come back to France back to where it all started.
We are since April 2025 in another long-term sit on the other side of France near the Mediterranean still in the vineyards, Languedoc this time.

We are now again looking at a long-term housesit back in Australia for 2026.

A big thanks to all house owners to trust their precious belongings with people like us, It's giving them/us a life experience that's beyond imagination! Read more...
