Why I was a full-time house sitter for 6 years

Between 2014 and 2020, my partner and I were permanent house sitters. Sometimes, people would question us about why we were doing it...

 
 
We have thoroughly enjoyed the experience over many years and have met some wonderful people having cared for a wide range of homes and properties and many species of pets, flora and fauna in many areas of eastern Australia, extending from southern Victoria to Cape York, Queensland. We take this opportunity to thank all of the Team at Aussie House Sitters for your support and the efficiency and professionalism displayed by your Team at all times which provided many opportunities for my wife and self that we would never have experienced otherwise.
