We received our first sit on the Centrel Coast within two hours of joining! We are so pleased and it has opened up a new world for us both. Thank you for all your help.

Garry & Linda

We are almost ready to unpack our bags and boxes having house sat for the last few years. House sitting has enabled us to travel wherever we want. We have met some interesting people and made a few friends along the way.

Starting in Tasmania we were on a 6 week holiday and wanted to see more .......
Logged on the Aussie House Sitters site, completed the information request - paid the registration fee - 36 hour later I confirmed my first house sit!

We enjoyed three house sits in Tasmania over a period of 5 months. Our duties ranged from feeding thorough bred horses, chickens, walking dogs watering gardens and taking bookings for a B&B, all of which gives you freedom to enjoy the location and get to know the locals.

On our return to NSW we had two prospective house sits both successfully completed.
We then spent Christmas in the UK returning with two more prospective house sits ...........

House sitting is a fantastic experience, it gives you the freedom to travel every where your heart desires and your feet can carry you.

Thank you to Aussie House Sitters for the opportunity and this great experience!

Lynda

I thought I should reply re our House sitters we had during March. They were excellent and I would recommend them to anyone. I dont know how your system works but I dont mind being used as a reference. Thanks again for providing House sitters for us.

Robyn & John

We have arranged for a couple that we met through your house sitting site to look after our house for approx 6 months. Regards,

Richard & Shirley

Since registering with your organisation, we have had 12 house sits and are currently on the longest house sit to date, for six months, at Capalaba, a suburb not far from our own home, while the owners travel to Western Australia with their caravan.

Beppie

Thank you Aussie House sitters. We have quickly found a house sitter for our home - in only 2 days!

Jo & Bryce

Our experience to housesit an australian house with dog, 20 chicken, cat and colourful birds was just so good. Our little girls (3 and 1 year old) enjoyed it also very much. The beach, the wildlife and travelling afterwards. The 3 year old started to speak english and the other one learned to walk in australia.

We had such a wonderful time. Without Aussie House Sitters we couldn´t have done this ever.

Ulli and Wolfgang (from Austria)

I'm just writing to say thank you for your easy to navigate and cost effective website, and your prompt and helpful attention to my earlier techical difficulties. I have not house sat before, but have managed to secure a 6 week sit of a gorgeous house with equally gorgeous pets within a week of signing up! I thought my lack of experience would make it hard to get a place, but apparently not! I look forward to many more experiences as an Aussie house sitter after this one! Regards,

Tabitha

I was so pleased that we found a house sitter so quickly, I have told all my friends and in that process, I have been asked to specifically provide others with the website – which I have. Great idea and service. Thanks again.

Kerry

Thank you we were contacted after only 48 hours after registering with you. WE live in Cairns and are now taking on a sitting job in Albany (WA). This will be a great experience (we hope) as we will be riding our motobikes over to WA. We couldn't be happier. I was quite amazed how quickly we had responses. We actually thought we would have to do the chasing.

Thank you again.

Peter & Dolores

Thank you so very much for your assistance in obtaining a house sitter for us. We put in our request on Sa££*@ay, had your reply by Sunday, had offers by Monday and had our chosen sitters finalised by Tuesday. You could not ask for a better service.

Thanks and would defiantly use this site again.

Paul & Victoria

As an Aussie living in the U.K. with an English wife, we have just completed our first experience of house-sitting in Australia. Six weeks on the NSW Central Coast turned out to be a dream holiday and we felt privileged to be trusted by strangers to care for their home and cat etc.
Aussie Housesitters could not have been more helpful right from the beginning and their fees are well below so many others. With such a good data base of addresses they provided a good choice in all areas.
Living in a fairly small community we soon made friends with neighbours who showed exceptional kindness and warmth. We were encouraged to join in all sorts of organisations, including a Yoga class for seniors, bowls at the local church, the busy R.S.L. club and so on.
Choosing not to rent a car we used a good local bus and train service for day trips and shopping. Some neighbours noticed this and insisted on taking us out sightseeing in their cars. Such kind people.
It was a pleasure to look after the property as we would our own and we were able to keep in touch with the owners from time to time by e-mail. They were great to deal with right from the start and they even said we were doing them a favour. The pleasure was ours!
Can't wait for another opportunity to leave the British winter and find another house-sit with Aussiehousesitters.

John & Chris

Just a quick one to let you know how fantastic your house sitting service is. I recently went over seas Dec/Jan and organised a house sitter through your web site. As I went away before the house sitter arrived I was a tad apprehensive that I would not be meeting someone who I was intrusting my most precious belongings to....3 malteese terriers,house /garden. While I felt very confident after speaking with her several times on the telephone I was still concerned as my dogs can be a handful.

Anyway I returned to find my dogs etc in a better state than I had left them. She put much effort into curbing their behaviourial problems and we all live a much more peaceful existance. I am extremely grateful for the wonderful job she did and I have booked her again for Dec 2008. Regards,

Connie

I’ve been very successful with your web-site, thank you! Not only have I found a number of home-owners on the site, but a number of homeowners have rung me directly too.

Thanks very much!

Charmaine

Hi Aussie House Sitters Team,
We won't be renewing our membership this year, not because we were not happy with the response to our membership, but rather because we have moved into a new house and need to spend some time getting it in order.

So, your website really does work and once we get sorted here we will think about rejoining. It's a great way to have a change of scenery and to give others the peace of mind in knowing that their pets and home are being cared for while they are away. Thanks for the opportunity.

Marion and Kelvin

I would like to thank your site for the wonderful time and life I am having with all my house sit jobs. I have met some lovely people having done jobs in Berkeley, Ashtonfield, Wolumla, Hervey Bay I have had no bad experiences to date. I am booked up till next November and I am having a ball what a life, and what a way to see Australia and I have no problem with having to use public transport it is just the greatest. Thanks again

Shirley

Thanks for your assistance - it is much appreciated. I love your site and the personal feel it gives out. I have enjoyed sits and sitters through it. Keep up the great work and thanks for the prompt feedback - cheers!!

Jenny

Think the site is wonderful have just accepted another sit for 4 months. Regards,

Tess & Pete

We have just returned from house sitting for 8 weeks in New Norfolk Tasmania this was our first time and the same for the people who's home we sat this was not just there home we sat but also looked after there tourist accommodation business as well on a full time bases which we had never done before. We had a great time and made some great new friends it was very sad to say good buy. We have to thank Aussie house sitters for there great web sight and to Veronica & John from the Shingles for putting so much Trust in us thank you. We can not wait for our next house sit.

Barbara & Garry

We have had great results for housesitting using your service. We have been to Victoria, NSW & QLD, made lots of new friends & been asked to return next year. Have another month from next week at Bryon Bay. Over the year we have had 15 requests but regretably had to decline, but already have some booked for 2008. We are having lots of fun & interesting times travelling about & recommend Aussie House Sitters to anyone. Regards,

Margaret & John

Had a fantastic two month house sit up at Peachester near Maleny over the June July months. It was soooo good. I met some really great neighbours and they all want me back to do their house sitting. How great is that? Thanks a million guys!

Bernadette

Thanks to your great service, we have made an agreement with one of your sitters after only a few days. Thank you for your service of which we have no hesitation in recommending to anyone looking for a house sitter.

Robyn

I've had 2 wonderful house sits, with happy dogs and happy return-home-owners. And lots of enquireis from potential house sits that I couldn't fill. There's so much out there. Thanks so much!

Fiona

Hello, i am a first time user of your service, and just want to say "how lovely the people are on line" all have sent gracious and curtious, replys fairly quickly, also wishing me well ... . AND i also found the PERFECT match for our house sit... a lady in Melbourne ...... thankyou for the opportunity to use your site, will definitely recommend to friends and use it next time.. a BIG thankyou..

Jenneane (Auckland, NZ)

Thankyou soooo much for your service. Your site was recommended to me from people in Queensland so obviously you are well known Australia wide. I will use you again, promise! regards,

Leona

I cannot praise Aussie House Sitters highly enough. I advertised for a housesitter to mind our house for a 5 week period and had 5 responses including 2 from New Zealand. All seemed like lovely, genuine people, and we would have been happy to have any of them to care for our house and cat. We have found a lovely couple to mind our house and even better than that, we have made some new friends as well!

Thanks Aussie House Sitters. Your website is very user-friendly, you provide great support and I'd recommend this service to everyone wanting to have their house minded, or wanting to mind a house. I'll definitely use the site again.

Judy

Our experience with Aussie House Sitters has been quite remarkable and we see no reason why it should not remain that way. Following a health scare early in the year, my wife Joan and I decided that if we were ever going to see some more of Australia we had better get started real quick. Real quick has meant that from the original idea in the middle of March we actually started this current sit on the 27th April. Plus without too much effort we also arranged two more sits covering until November. It was incredibly easy and straight forward. Not only that but we continued to get futher offers such, we had to edit our details on the list to indicate we were not available until November. We are very impressed with the results from Aussie House Sitters.

Joan & Joe

Just to let you  know that we have been extremely happy with the response we have had from your housesitting site. Over the past twelve months we have been members we have had a least between 20-30 responses and have had several housesittings in different states and our next one will be Perth. We have no hesitation in renewing our subscription as we have met some wonderful people and we consider this  best thing we have ever done.  We wish we could do more but family and other restrictions limit us.

Pam & Garry

We have been quite overwhelmed by responses to our listing to be a sitter, having received 4 offers. We have had to decline 2
for family reasons but the other 2 look really promising. Keep up the good service.

Dianne

We were anxious to find someone to house & dog sit for us and after having eliminated most of our friends, relatives & neighbours we looked on the internet to see if something was available.   

We found your web site and within 48 hours had found someone to care for our house & hounds.  We shall be using Aussie House Sitters again & recommend you to all our friends & business associates.

Barry & Penny  

Thankyou for providing us homeowners such a wonderful easy to use service.  Such comfort to know our pets are safe and cared for in their own environment and no huge kennel fees!  I found the responses quick and the sitters all very polite, willing and open in their communication. Will definately use the services again and have allready recommended to friends and family.

Lisa

We have had four successful house sits since registering with you and have another two coming up to take us until January next year.  Great stuff! 

Peter

I am currently sending this from a housesit that came via your site, it is our 2nd stint here and will almost certainly not be the last. We are here for another couple of weeks then off to Mt tambourine for another one that has come via your site. We are very happy with the number of enquiries we receive, we have got about 50 or 60 since registering 6 months ago. I don't know how that compares to other sitters but it is more than enough for us. We reply to every contact whether we are available or not. We are very discerning but feel we can afford to be - the offers keep rolling in, and of course once you start then word of mouth keeps you in "work". We have met lots of people and will keep on going for a long time yet.

As well as offers we have been asked by quite a lot of people about the whole idea and we have recommended your site highly.

Nick & Cherie

I am bowled over by this site. Having tried several other sites, this was so easy to find my way around, and I was able to choose about 8 suitable sitters the first time I looked.  Some of these were already sitting, but they were polite and answered promptly.  Less than a week after I started looking, I had a marvellous sitter lined up.  My cats met her and told me they approved, straight off!

So thankyou, Aussie House Sitters - we can go away with easy minds.

Margaret and Don

We found your website very easy to use and navigate around. It is great that there is no charge for the homeowners to find a sitter or to put an advert on your website. . . . . rest assured that next year when we are looking again we'll come to Aussie House Sitters.

Norman & Dianne

I have finalized a house sitter through your service.  The process took only a few days, so thanks, I'm now able to go overseas knowing the house is looked after and the dog is fed and happy.

Robyn

We registered to house sit a few months ago and have been very lucky in acquiring a 12 mth contract. As you can imagine we are delighted with our response to joining Aussie House Sitters.

Pauline & Gordon

This is the second time I have utilised Aussie House Sitters to find a sitter for our home and animals.  Within half an hour of opening the Aussie House Sitters web page, I found a suitable candidate, phoned her and voila! had a sitter!  How good was that! 

We highly recommend Aussie House Sitters database as a starting (and ending) point.

Anne

We are very happy with your house sitting site, we are currently house sitting and loving it.  Regards,

Ann

My ad produced immediate response from well qualified and experienced sitters who I was very happy to use. I'll be back if I need to.

Iain

I've been meaning to e-mail you. For what it is worth I think the site really looks good. We are currently at an extended sit at  Hervey Bay,  6 months, which is timed to finish mid-july.  Would you believe we are getting at least 10 to 12 enquiries  each and every week, which I have been able to establish with the vast majority coming from your website........Well Done !! At most opportunities we take the opportunity to point out that we have found your group to be helpful, reliable and above all very professional............

Our very best regards to you all.

Philip

Thank you for your help and efficient service. We have already received three enquiries.

Russell & Dell

Just to let you know, we have had many requests for house sitting.  The one we're doing at the moment is perfect, suits our time frame, the house is immaculate and extremely comfortable, and we feel we that we have started a friendship with the people we are sitting for.  If all house sitting is this successful we will be thrilled.

A.P.

Aussie House Sitters has worked so well for me. I placed an advertisment on the web site and the right person found me within a day. I can now go ahead with my holiday plans for next year confident that the farm will be well cared for. This is an excellent, competent and efficient service. Thank you A.H.S.

Steve

We were very pleased with the Aussie House Sitters Site. We heard about the site from another person who has used this site for the last few years when they went overseas. They were very happy with the people who sat their house. When you love your dog as much as we do ( we could not cope with putting her in a kennel for 4 weeks) and want to travel overseas for 4 to 6 weeks a year it is a perfect way to link up with people who want to be a sitter. It was easy to do and the fact that it was free was just another bonus. We had a great response from Sitters and choosing just one couple was difficult. We will certainly use it again and have told numerous people about the site. What a great service it provides and thanks to everyone who responded. Thanks!

Gail & Ben

We used a couple from your organisation to house sit for us and it worked out very well. It was a delight to come home and find the garden all maintained and the house as spotless as we had left it. More than happy with the wonderful service you offer, so helpful.

Michael & Sylvia

We have had instant success with our 'need a sitter' ad :) This great site has really taken away a huge worry for us.

Vickie

I just wanted to thank you as I have landed two house sitting jobs from your site.

Marlene

I used Aussie House Sitters to find a house sitter for my home and pets whilst going away on Holidays.  This was the first time I had ever considered using a house sitter for caring for my home and pets.  The team at Aussie House Sitters were wonderful. They posted my ad straight away and within a week I had correspondence from a lovely couple who were interested in looking after my house and pets.  Because this was the first time using this service, I was unaware of the procedure,  once you received correspondents with a couple who were interested in house sitting, I need not have worried as I emailed the team at Aussie House Sitters and they explained everything for me. They have been so helpful and the fact that it cost the homeowner not one single cent is Fantastic. I would recommend Aussie House Sitters to anyone considering having their house house sat.

Thanks heaps Aussie House Sitters, I can enjoy my holiday knowing my home and beloved pets are well look after thanks to you guys !!!!

Danielle

Thank you. We managed to find 2 house sits during our time with Aussie House Sitters. We also received many emails from people of which we needed to decline due to duplication. We have decided to rent now, but our house sitting experience was a positive one.

Jacqui

I was more than pleased with the quality of service from Aussie House Sitters. It made it easy to find someone for our home. I will certainly recommend it to any of my friends looking for a sitter.  Many thanks,

Pat

We have found a most suitable sitter for our house through your free service. She replied to our ad on your house owners' list, it only took less than a week. A couple of years ago we paid an agency quite a lot of money for them to find us a sitter. They in return didn't have to pay anything, only a bond which they got back. We will certainly telll our friends about your free service. Regards,

Stan & Sidsel

Thanks for providing this great service. It has been invaluable in our successful search for a house sitter. We have just found two uni students who can stay for the 7 months.

Reet

Have used this free service on three occasions all with success - Thank you

Brian & Jill

It seems everyone is wanting a house sitter for May as i have had numerous offers to house sit but have had to decline as i am booked up.

I have had many homeowners email me asking me to house sit through out the year but i only have a few months that are available - so yes your website is working wonders.

Angela

Thank you for your reply and for removing our ad. Friends of ours have used your service several times to find house sitters and recommended you to us. In turn we have told many people of the good response we had to our ad and will continue to do so when the occasion arises. A lot of people were unaware of the service. Thanks again and regards,

Janean

Hello , your site certainly works very well- I have already found housesitters with whom I feel very comfortable. Will contact you again after the sit is completed. Thanks again!

Helen

I contacted six of your house sitters and had three positives to sit for us. I thank you very much for your great site and the lovely people who are available.

Glenice

I have received quite a number of requests to house-sit in Tasmania. Thanks!

Diane

We have found a house sitter from your service thanking you very much. Kind regards,

Michael

I thought your site and service was great. We found a sitter really quickly.

Kristin

I said we would let you know how we have fared after we became house sitters with Aussie House Sitters.   I am pleased to say that your service has been very kind and we are getting a very good response - not all suit or they sometimes clash with others, but overall we have been quite successful and we have made some good friends. . . .

Phil

Since registering with you we have had quite a few enquiries, and will be house sitting in Pampas near Toowoomba for Jan-Feb next year. Thanks for the service

Max & Joan

Looks like we have found a sitter from your website. Must admit am impressed with the site, will use it future.

Barry & Trish

I am very happy with Aussie House Sitters. The site is very simple to use and generates good responses and I certainly recommend it to anyone. The personal service and follow up is excellent too. Thenk you.

Kevin & Piki

Thank you very much for the free service you provide to home owners looking for housesitters. Your service is prompt, efficient and much appreciated.

Dianne C

I would like to say that Aussie House Sitters was extremely successful for us. We had several early responses and have secured a housesitter after several conversations with them. It's great that its a free service for home owners and we are really happy that we can go away after Christmas and not worry about our home & pets. Thanks Aussie House Sitters.

Narelle

As a homeowner I was surprised and pleased at the response I received from your house sitting site.  Although I could accept only one sitter, I was impressed by the high calibre and sincerity of the many offers.  All of them offered references without hesitation.  The fact that it is no charge to us (the homeowner) is fantastic.  Thank you for such a good service.  

Trish

The response to my ad was great. I had a good choice of sitters, all of whom I knew would have done a great job. I have recommended your service to some friends and will certainly use you again. Thanks for the service.

Jo

I think house sitting is a fantastic idea. It’s win-win for both parties. House sitting websites like Aussie House Sitters make it so easy for home owners and sitters to get in touch with one another. The service is free for homeowners and getting your ad listed is really easy. What more could you ask for?

Susan

Thank you so much so letting us advertise for a 'Sitter' on Aussie House-sitters. The response has been amazing. Within an hour of the add appearing on your site, we received 3 phone calls from 'house-sitters who were very interested in looking after our home & animals. We will definately use your site again when we decide on our next holiday.

Kaye

I used the Aussie House Sitters to find someone to mind my house when I was interstate.  I successfully found someone. It was a great way for the sitter and house owner to link up, for our mutual benefit.

Cindy

I used your housesitter service for my Bribie home and found it very satisfactory.  The gentleman looked after my house and pet very well. Thank you.

Jeanette

I am very happy to say that I am impressed with the site and the great responses that I received. I really appreciate this excellent free service for homeowners and highly recommend it.

Lyndsay

I advertised for a House Sitter for the first time with Aussie House Sitters and did not expect much of a response from people wanting to sit a large rural property in outback NSW. However we did receive some interest and were thrilled with the couple that came and sat for us so that we could have a real holiday for the first time in ages. We have developed a firm friendship with the housesitters who looked after our house, property, pets and animals and would not hesitate in recommending this service and the fantastic housesitters that we had. Next time we need a housesitter we will definately use this service again.

Carolyn

I think this is a housesitter story with a difference!!

Prue & Rob

We used your service for the first time over Xmas.  Advertised our home, and our first applicant was Hilary, who fitted the bill perfectly.  She came down to Sydney and met up with us and our cats.  We went off for our 17 days break and on our return the house was spotless, as though professional cleaners had swept through the place!  Our main concern had been our two elderly cats.  In the past a neighbour had feed them for us each day, but they were always rather 'stressed' on our return as they had missed the company.  On our return from this trip, both cats were so relaxed and happy that they hardly noticed we had returned!

Thankyou for such a great website.

Carolanne

Many thanks Aussie House Sitters.

Many thanks again and would use you in the future and recommend your site to friends. 

Toni

Thank you so much for the  excellant service, we  didn't realise it was out there. We had so many replies and from some really great people. I can certainly reccomend it, and will use it again. Many thanks once more.

Barbara

I would like to say that the website is fantastic and easy to use. I enjoyed housesitting in the first house I had house sat for.  The neighbours were fantastic and I continue to enjoy the company of the homeowners!

Helena

Thank you for an excellent service. I contacted a few of your registered sitters and one of the respondents sounded ideal so we have arranged a 'sit'. I will certainly use your site again.

Jenny

"In just three weeks after placing an add for a house sitterr on Ausie House Sitters we have had more than 10 applications from registered sitters.  We were able to view their full details on the web site and make a short list of potential sitters.  We eventually interviewed two sitters and have chosen one who has seen our home and is even willing to drive us to the airport and collect us on our return should we so wish.

I am amazed at the ease of finding a suitable sitter and the calibre of all applicants.  As we are retired and hope to be travelling around over the next few years I am sure we will use Aussie Housesitters often."

Ray

We obtained our sitter through your sitters list and without exception every person we contacted replied promptly as all this was done at very short notice we were most impressed.

J & M

I found the Aussie House Sitters site easy and friendly to use, and the fact that it was free was a big bonus.  I received several email responses within a short amount of time, and all seemed appropriate people for the picky job I’d written about!  Any contact with AHS staff has been met with quick response - much appreciated.  A great site find whilst Googling for house sitting in Oz!

Ali

I am already receiving calls for housesitting and wish to thank you at Aussie House Sitters. Regards,

Ann

Finding a house sitter  was very easy, we got lots of responses, from the silly to the serious, asked for contact phone numbers and took it from there. Met with people, where possible, which is useful final selection process.

Liked the site and service. When I didn't understand some detail,  I sent an emailed querie and within 20 minutes had a phone call explaining. I appreciated such an immediate and unexpected offer of help, as I'm not a technical hotshot. 

Suzy

Our thanks to Aussie House Sitters. We were stuck for somebody to look after our house and animals at very short notice and thought we would give them a try. Within 24 hours we had applicants and interviewed them the next weekend. We have found somebody and now can go away on our holiday knowing our house will be looked after.

Jon

I was so pleased with the response from your website, and found a housesitter within just a couple of days of being on your website, I will definitely advertise there another time, Many thanks...

June

What a fantastic service not only is it free to advertise but the responses I have had have been awesome. Thank you Aussie Sitters I will be using you again.

Shelley

“I was hesitant to use this service, thinking there would be no response.  However I was wrong.  I received one response within six hours of my ad appearing; and several within three days.”

Patricia

Thank you very much for website, we have had a wonderful response, we have a lovely lady to sit for us and will certainly be using the site again. Thanking you all!

Anna

Thankyou for the wonderful House sitters database. What a great service. I only recently heard about it when talking to a neighbour about getting someone to come and housesit while we went on our holidays, as taking our 2 dogs with us was no longer possible because of their ages.

Thankyou again

Klara

Thanks Aussie House Sitters we really appreciate your free service and the fact that within 48 hours we had a house sitter through your site.

Dave (WA)

We thought we would have to cancel our planned (and paid for) overseas trip because the friend who was going to housesit had become ill. We had 2 weeks to take-off and we knew no-one who could housesit. So you can imagine our delight when within 24 hours of placing our Sitter Required advert, we had responses from several very suitable candidates. Now our trip is back on and are house and animals will be safe and cared for – can’t thank you enough Aussie House Sitters! We will definitely use your services again.

Dave & Wendy

Thanks for your very effective site.  We received two very good responses from potential sitters within a week of posting our house on your site and quickly reached agreement with one of them.  From the home owners point of view registration is fast and efficient, the site is easy to use and the fact that the service is free is a bonus.  Thank you once again

Dan

"Within minutes of placing my Free  House Owner 'ad' on the Aussie House Sitters site I had responses from prospective sitters. The sitters 'profiles' were instantly available and a great help in shortlisting applicants. My preferred sitter was travelling from Queensland ,through Adelaide, to Western Australia over the Easter weekend (about to undertake a four months 'sit' in WA) and provided the opportunity for a face-to-face interview. Both my wife and I agreed they would be ideal as sitters for our house and more importantly our two 'babies' - Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. We are confident and relaxed knowing that when September comes around we can enjoy our 2 months overseas holiday. Living on Kangaroo Island, off the coast of South Australia, I was apprehensive about finding anyone to 'sit' for us. I now have no hesitation in advising friends how helpful the Aussie House Sitter site/service was and even better the fact that the service is absolutely free for home owners.

We will be travelling again in 2008 and Aussie House Sitters can expect another visit from us."

Ray

Since joining Ausise House Sitters I have received over 20 offers and one was in NZ.  So now I have 3 by 3 months up to Jan 08. I could of arranged to go to any of the reply's I received, to WA SA Tassie etc  I had so many offers I was really surprised. I have given your "House sitters" site to all the people that have been interested in what I am doing.

Bette

As house sitters we have really been impressed with the amount of contacts we have received through your site and will certainly be applying to sit again at a later date.

Valerie

Just returned from a much needed holiday after finding the most wonderful sitters through AHS. We have booked them for next year and are delighted with the level of care they gave to our dog and to our home. Regards,

The Duddles

To say that I was surprised would be the understatement for all times. I saw Aussie House Sitters on the net, only by ‘googling’. Firstly I didn’t know such a service was available. I joined, free: another unbelievable factor these days, placed an ad wanting a house sitter. Then, within two days in came the responses, not one, but sixteen. All of which would have easily been appropriate as for our needs. But chose a mature aged couple who sounded absolutely wonderful and matched our needs to absolute perfection. Emails were exchanged, then a telephone call. We are off to Africa for a month in September/October and I have no doubt that my cherished possession my Ralph (he is a dog) will be given the affection and security with my new found house sitters. Since knowing about Aussie House Sitters, friends of ours have also joined and found their perfect house sitters…what more can you say. It’s just so wonderful to take the worry and hassle out of finding someone you can trust your home and your animals to. A big THANK YOU!

Susan

Thank you for such a great site - it is the first time I have used such a service - have previously had sitters thru word of mouth. Chose a sitter within a couple of days all at no cost! Will certainly use the site again next time I travel.

Ann

Although I have not been on the Aussie House Sitters database for very long, I have corresponded and spoken to serveral lovely people who have contacted me.   The Aussie House Sitters Site is extremeley easy to use and I look forward to using your services in the future.  

Janet

Have just tonight accepted two sits, one in South Oz for June and one in Tas for August and September. I think your service is tops!

Len

I have found 3 house sitters through your great site.  Thank you for helping me to find satisfactory sitters. I hope your site always prospers - thanks again!

I joined housesitters in March 2007 and have received three jobs which will take me up till January 2008. I wasn't quite sure whether I'd enjoy staying in someone else's house but it's working out great. Will keep doing this now and may even travel later on. Thank you.

Since joining Aussie House Sitters I have sat in Semaphore Adelaide, Peterhead Adelaide, Innasfail  and am going to Barmera for 4mths. I am really enjoying house sitting and enjoy looking after the owners pets so that they can enjoy a break without having to worry about them.

We get a lot of reply's from homeowners to our house sitters listing. We have been all over Australia since we have joined up with Aussie House Sitters. We are living in a beautiful Country. Get out there and discover it. It has been a great opportunity for us. Thank you Ausie House Sitters

We had an incredible experience through our 'house sitting' event. I nearly withdrew the adverti£#£**t as I felt our house was a little extreme and there would be few (if any) people willing to take on the property. So I was totally surprised to receive a message with interest shown to sit for us. After a phone call to the prospective sitters I felt confident that it was really going to happen. The couple were well aware of the quirks and isolation of the property and were still very keen to come.

I'd like to thank your organisation for providing this opportunity from which we had so many positive experiences. Placing the adverti£#£**t was a result of a conversation with a friend who had a similar great experience recently and she told me of the organisation. Since our experience I speak to everyone about our sitters and what the experience provided for us. I also pass on the details of the website.

Thank you, I had more success from your house sitting service than I had from some others. I certainly will be recommending your service.

Fiona

Hi Team. Thanks for having such a great site. I have been fortunate enough to gain 2 house sits and although they are for future dates I have spoken to both and feel like they will be perfect for us. I'm really looking forward to meeting these people who sound really great. What a great way to meet new friends!

When I placed an advert for a housesitter to care for our house and pet dog I had a quick response and found a suitable couple within days.  Our little dog got sick and was in pain while we were away and our sitters were very caring and immediately took our dog to the vet for treatment even though it was the middle of the night and again the following day  when he didn't improve.  I am glad to say that our dog is ok and our house was well looked after. Many thanks

Think we joined about four months ago and we're happy with things to date. We've had several opportunities both for short and long term sits. Finished second just days ago. Off to Tassie for our third (3 weeks) in mid August. Odd choice in mid winter but Hey, someone else is paying the heating bills and we do have rellies to visit in Tassie. Good work.

We have just started our first housesit and we are over the moon. AUSSIE HOUSE SITTERS has been great to be able to select a suitable homesit and we already have 6 months booked from now until next june 08 so say no more. AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! Will get back to you later.

I would like to praise your site it is great and I have been in contact with so many people and have acquired house sits so fast.  The owners are so prompt and friendly.  I have been house sitting for a few years now but your site makes it so much easier for me.  Thank you. 

Shirley

I just would like to say that it is a great website and provided me with some good opportunities to house sit.

For your information we have done two house sits – one for 4 weeks and one for 4 months. Both were fun and we enjoyed the experience. We have also had about a dozen other requests but were not able to oblige due to other commitments including the 4 months house sit.

So many thanks –

Gillian & Gary

We would like to thank you for the excellent service you provide. Within a few weeks of registering we received an email from a lady asking us to housesit her unit in Mosman, Sydney, for 9 days. We emailed her our mobile phone number and after a long chat she was very comfortable with offering us the housesit.

Terry & Cheryl

Hello thanks for renewal reminder. Patrick is currently away on a farm sit. Yes, we will renew. We have had a very successful year with Aussie House Sitters. Around 130 enquiries. We have squeezed in 6 Pet Sits and met some fantastic pets and people in the process. We have been given wonderful references - a great boost when you haven't had one for many years. Pet Sitting has given us confidence that, despite our retirement, our ability to manage animals and look after a house is still very alive and so are we. We plan an extended overseas holiday ourselves in 2008. Regards,

Eileen

It has been 12 months nearly since we started house sitting and we have sat at some very nice houses and some ordinary houses but all the owners have been excellant people. we have had numerous unsolisited requests to sit which we could not attend to as we were already booked. we have houses with dogs and indeed one sit involved 3 dogs. we are so pleased to have taken on sitting and would say to those thinking of doing the same --go for it. we are usually booked 12 months in advanced and apart from meeting nice home owners we are seeing the country side. thanks to the organisers of the site -- a job well done

Brian

Dear Aussiehousesitters,
We found your service satisfactory and achieved the results we wanted while we built our house and we had about 6 or so responses as we were specific on Hervey Bay area. Thank you for your help. Regards,

Kevin and Pam

Hello, we have found your site to be excellent in regards to finding farm sits in W.A.
We have both been so happy with our new way of life, we would recommend it to anyone, wanting a complete change to their lives. We have been in the West for 6 months - we have untill the middle of July booked up.

Des & Marj

I chose to do use a house sitter because I was sick and tired of paying enormous amounts to have my three cats boarded. I am singing the praises of this service, thank you. Regards,

Lynda

We are currently in Rockhampton Queensland on our second sit arranged through the site. Kind regards,

John

My advert was uploaded onto the website within 24 hours of my posting it and I was very pleased with the number and calibre of sitters who applied to mind my cat & flat. I will definitely be using Aussie Housesitters again.

Colleen

Since we joined last year (2007) we have been flat out and have offers of bookings through to Jan 2010.

Neil

We are currently sitting at Banora Point for the winter, this is our second time for these folks, they are spending the summer in the UK, from whence they came to AUS back in the 1960s. We are still getting plenty of calls , averages around 3-4 each week. Regards as always.
