I first joined Aussie House Sitters as a landlord looking for a sitter. Then I subscribed as a sitter myself. Housesitting through AHS kept me afloat during the last months of my teaching degree and also helped me settle into my new town. Aussie House Sitters also introduced me to some wonderful animals! I now have my own place again and I am grateful for the easy interface and great home owners I have met through AHS, some of whom were repeat clients, and are now friends. Thank you. Fantastic value and wonderful service. KJB
