Aussie House Sitters
The largest pet & house sitting site in Australia
Couple52, Full Time traveler
53, Full time traveler
Happy and Dependable, Quiet and Homely couple.
We have been fulltime travelers since April 2021 and loving life!
We are currently in NSW for autumn 2024 and then head on to South QLD for winter.
.
We travel, house sit and work online creating content for holiday accommodation and various travel/camping related companies as we make our way around the country.
In late 2022 we completed a 6 month contract as Ambassadors for BIG4 Holiday Parks which allowed us to stay in many beautiful destinations in NSW and QLD whilst working on promotional content for the holiday parks.
We have now fallen in love with house sitting, and have been full time house sitting since November 2022 in between promotional work. We thoroughly enjoy the company of a wide variety of pets including gorgeous dogs, cats, chickens, donkeys, lizards and everything in between. We love learning about and exploring the local surroundings.
When house sitting we generally go out throughout the morning, after any chores or dog walking, for a few hours and return for the rest of the day to be at the home with the animals. We work on our online accounts for the afternoon editing photos etc so are very happy to just chill at home with plenty of time to relax with the animals.
In between sits, if we have any gaps, we enjoy nature based camping in National Parks and private camp grounds. We were campground hosts whilst in Limmen National Park in the NT, applied for as volunteers through the Northern Territory Government for around 5 weeks.
We work online as ambassadors/influencers for some well known Australian companies.
We both have current National Police checks.
My name is Inga, a born and bred, quiet, fit and very active Aussie. Equally comfortable on farms, in small country towns and in cities. I was born and bred on a grain farm in country NSW. Experienced in Administration roles, hospitality, local government, aged care and a keen gardener.
Russ is originally from Melbourne where he worked as a sound engineer, water treatment technician, business development manager and was also a mechanic by trade. Also fit and active. After moving to country Victoria, Russell worked on dairy farms for a couple of years, thoroughly enjoying country life and working with cows, especially his beloved gal lucky.
We would be honoured to be invited into your family home to care for your beloved animals, home and garden.
We have both loved our own dogs and cats over the years plus other farm animals. Russell being the dominant dog lover and myself the dominant cat lover. We have both spent time on farms as mentioned so we are comfortable with many differnt animals.
We are both keen gardeners and Inga has a certificate in Horticulture. We also worked at Historic Anlaby Station in SA as the gardeners for their stunning 10acres of garden over a 3 month period whilst house sitting nearby. An amazing experience!
Being home owners ourselves we understand the stress of going away and leaving the garden and beloved pets in the hands of another. Our home is Currently being rented out and we also have relied on house sitters at various times ourselves so we really do understand your situation.
If you would like to know more about us please contact us for the links to view our online accounts.
We would love to hear from you if you require a sitter. We can then provide our contact phone number for you to have a chat/FaceTime video with us as well.
Kind Regards
Inga and Russ
Russ and Inga are amazing. So good with Basil and the house and Garden were perfect.. we have booked them again for a long trip coming up.. highly recommend
This was the third time that Inga and Russ have house sat for us. They took such great care of miss Mouse our cat and also our home - all bedding was washed and on the line and everything was clean and tidy - even swept stray bark off our outdoor stepping stones! I cheekily asked them to plant out my new herb and vege garden which they did with a flourish and also kept everything watered and our new patch of lawn watered too. We highly recommend these guys to house sit and would have them back ... MORE
Another amazing sit with Inga and Russ... Thankyou both:)
So nice to come home to a happy pooch, clean house & swept decks!.. and happy garden:) ...
Russ and Inga were perfect housesitting guests. They kept our place shipshape, keeping it clean and tidy and watering the plants. They also befriended our tabby cat Arthur and kept us informed. They would be welcome back and we can recommend them to others.
Inga and Russ were awesome. My animals looked very happy and well fed. The house was perfect and they even washed their own sheets and made up the bed again. They washed the towels and the linen. Amazing. Highly recommend these super impressive house sitters. I consider myself lucky to have had them.
Amazing house sitters! So down to earth from the very start. We loved seeing all of their adventures with Cava (I think he's missing Russ and Inga!). Highly recommend.
Russ and Inga were amazing! As soon as I saw them I felt totally comfortable. They took such great care of my place and Fletch, communication and was easy and they left my place in such a great state.
Loved getting to know them and having them in place, they are welcome back anytime.
Down to earth, great humans!
Inga and Russ are truly amazing. We have two dogs one being a shy, nervous whippet. Inga and Russ are wonderful with animals and their calm, relaxed manner transfers to the animals in their care. While away Inga posted daily pics of our very happy animals and this provided great peace of mind. We returned to a sparking clean, neat home with two contented dogs. I highly recommend Inga and Russ and hope on our next trip we can reach out to them. They are truly wonderful, practical and excellent ... MORE
We were so pleased to have Russ and Inga look after our fur and feather babies.
To be able to holiday with piece of mind and confidence that our pet family would be loved and well looked after, made our holiday even more enjoyable.
It was lovely to receive photos of our pets lapping up the love and attention.
Our home was also very well looked after.
We would love to have you both house sit again when it suits you.
Thank you Russ and Inga
Much appreciated šš
Russ and Inga were truely amazing Housesitterās! We felt so comfortable having them look after our pets and home whilst away with some beautiful photos shared with us during their stay. We didnāt get the opportunity to meet prior to the sit but Russ and Inga were great with chats over the phone plus both having experience housesitting before made it a breeze. Our plants thrived and animals well cared for. We came home to a sparkling clean house and garden. We would be delighted to have them ... MORE
What wonderful house sitters are Inga and Russ! They looked after our Saffy (and our home) beautifully. We got home to find our home absolutely sparkling and we can't thank them enough. They shared many photos of their day trips with Saffy who obviously really enjoyed being able to travel up front with them in their car. plus we think she got spoilt quite a lot! We will definitely be booking them again next year as we couldn't ask for better house sitters. Thank you again, Inga and Russ and ... MORE
This was our first experience using the website and we were not disappointed! Inga and Russ were the perfect couple to look after our pets, farm, house and large garden. Nothing was too much trouble and they even spent several days cleaning debris off fences when there was a major flood along the creek on our property. We had never had house sitters before and were a little concerned about having strangers in our home but after a FaceTime call and then meeting them before we left we knew ... MORE
Five Stars for the review of Inga and Russ just aren't enough stars. These two are fantastic house sitters and were absolutely devoted to Tigga our much loved dog. When they sent us thru photos of their escapades with him, we commented that he wouldn't want us to come home. He had a great time, lots of walks, swims and rides in the car, (which we told them before leaving, he loved to do) and he was very well cared for.
Inga & Russ left our home sparkling clean, the garden was in great shape ... MORE
This was Russ and Inga's second sit for us. They were so lovely offering to help out with this sit, as they couldn't quite do the entire time but offered to stay on for an extra night if it helped us. Once again, they were awesome house and pet sitters! Took amazing care of our fur-babies, walked Kaya our dog, snuggled with Mouse our cat, left our house clean and tidy, washing done and even met with our next sitters to give them the run down on our home and animals in case they had any ... MORE
Russ and Inga did a wonderful job looking after our brand new house and our 4 dogs for the week that we were away down at the snow.
After our return, a few of our dogs were overheard to comment to each other that they preferred Russ and Inga to us because they gave the dogs much more care and attention than we ever do!
Russ and Inga even left the house CLEANER than how we left it for them. How good is that?!
I canāt recommend enough these amazing human beings. Inga and Russ were excellent communicators from the first conversation via FaceTime and then when we met in person. I felt very comfortable from the first minute and they gave me confidence that everything would be fine when we were away. They were super nice and were genuinely interested about my cats and how to look after the house. On our return the house was immaculately clean and most importantly my two cats were relaxed and happy. They ... MORE
Inge and Russ took great care of my fur babies and my home. I highly recommend them. Everything was 5 stars
If I could give 10 stars I would. Inga did such an amazing job looking after our pups and our home. They are trustworthy and honest. I can't say enough about how good this sit went!
Inga and Russ were a dream:) . From the first meet and greet I could see Rafi drawn to them, and we were all very comfortable with each other.
They looked after Rafi so well- walking, sitting, brushing, playing.. enjoying his free, independent spirit.
Communication was superb with messages, photos, videos.. with humour.
They are obviously very experienced pet sitters and know what to do with various dog personalities...they really try to understand the dog/ pet. They show interest and ... MORE
Inga and Russ were amazing with my puppy Luna and cat Bear. They took Luna on walks and texted me pics everyday, she was thoroughly spoilt! Thanks so much Russ & Inga, I hope you can come stay again with us!
From the moment we met Inga and Russ, we were so comfortable with them. They were so caring towards our 2 fur babies and knew they would be taken care of wonderfully. We had photos and videos sent to us regularly and could see they were happy and content in Inga and Russ's company. I dont think our fur babies missed us at all. I highly recommend Inga and Russ to take care of your pets and home. They will definitely be our first call when we go away again. Thankyou so much guys!!
We can not thank Inga and Russ enough for the time and effort put into our dogs and house. Everything was well taken care of and their communication was fantastic.
Our kelpies, Bonnie and Molly obviously had a great time with them. Peter and I highly recommend Inga and Russ and we would love to have them back house sitting for us in the future.
Inga and Russ were the best house and pet sitters. From the first meeting you could just tell that they were good people.
They went above and beyond. They regularly posted pictures and videos on their house sitting page, which I absolutely loved. Being kept in the loop and to see all my babies being taken such good care of. I could also see from the photos that they were so happy and content in their presence. We were a bit concerned they wouldn't miss as, as they were absolutely spoilt <3

Russ and Inga were awesome house and pet sitters! Took amazing care of our fur-babies, walked our dog, trimmed my roses, left our house clean and tidy, washing done and even left us a parting gift! We would highly recommend these guys if you are looking for a house or pet sitter. They are welcome back to our home any time!!
Inga and Russ were lovely from start to finish. Milo was super well looked after, as was the house. It was very very clean when we returned. Would love to have them back to house sit and I highly recommend them as sitters.
This was Inga and Russ' third time housesitting for me, and same as during the previous sits, everything was perfect. I came back to a clean and tidy house and they even mowed the lawns during their short stay. My dog absolutely loves them and this time round I had the chance to share a dinner and evening of chatting with them and I can see why he does! Such a friendly and lovely couple, and their communication is also excellent.
Inga and Russ were excellent housesitters. They communicated well before the sit. They loved the dogs and cat and the chickens and cared for all critters perfectly.
They left the house clean and tidy and washed the bed sheets and remade the beds. We arrived home to happy pets and no issues with the house or gardens,
I highly recommend Inga and Russ and would happily have them back to house-sit again.
Russ and Inga were fantastic sitters and we would highly recommend them. We could see from the regular photo update (which was much appreciated) that our beloved cat was having a lovely time with them. She was one relaxed beast which meant we could enjoy our trip away. Our house was left in an immaculate condition which was lovely to come home to. Inga and Russ were great communicators. We felt very comfortable leaving our house, and much more importantly our cat, with them. We would definitely ... MORE
We were so happy after we had met Inga and Russ before the housesit. I just knew that things would go well. And it did go smoothly with our old dog RJ being well cared for. The house was very clean and tidy and the plants watered. We heard from Inga during the sit. I highly recommend them in this role. Thank you Inga and Russ.
This was the second time that I had Inga and Russ looking after my home and my dog. They are absolutely wonderful! They have been super friendly, very loving towards my dog, and they send the cutest photos and videos :-D I've also found them to be responsible, reliable, great with comunication, and they've left the house clean and tidy. They are an absolute gem, anyone would be lucky to have them house/petsit for them!
Inga and Russ have been fantastic and an absolute pleasure in every way!
After meeting them, I left with complete peace of mind, knowing my house and dog would be safe with them. They provided extra reassurances of this with their messages and cute photos which clearly showed how much my doggo was getting spoiled and loved by them.
Inga and Russ were reliable, on time, friendly, responsible and great with communication and the house was left spotless. I highly reccomend them to everyone and ... MORE
Inga and Russ house/dog sat for us over 10 nights 7-16th Jan, 2033. This was our 1st time using a house sitter and leaving our dogs with someone we didn't know. We have had the most wonderful experience with Inga and Russ! Their communication was excellent- lots of photos and videos sent of our dogs. They were cared for beautifully- and in fact, it looked as though our dogs were searching for them the morning after we arrived home. Our home was left in pristine condition. We welcomed the 6 ... MORE
Inga and Russ were such beautiful people who looked after our house and animals with tender love and care :) I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs house sitters
Absolutely fabulous could have a better couple to look after our house and animals (3dogs 12 chooks 8 geese 2 mini donkeys and cattle)
The house was spotlessly clean bed linen washed and replaced it was a pleasure to come home to
Thanks again Inga and Russ
What a delight it was to have Inga and Russ look after our dog Toughie and home. They took such wonderful care of him and communicated so well with us. Meeting them you instantly knew they were lovely people. We came home to a spotless house, they went above and beyond to which we were so grateful! Thank you Inga and Russ it was an absolute pleasure dealing with you guys! We so hope to have you again!
Inga and Russ were perfect house sitters, taking excellent care of my cats and house while I was away for a long weekend. They are lovely people, and I felt very comfortable leaving my house and animals with them. Communication was excellent before, during and after their stay, and I would have no hesitation in recommending them for future house-sits.
Inga and Russ were awesome. Went above and beyond in what they did for us during our 3 month uk visit. Great communication while we were there. They ran our B&B while we were away and the guests rated them well also.
They looked after our dog and cat great and the pets loved them.
The house and garden were well looked after and left clean and tidy.
We would thoroughly recommend Inga and Russ and they are welcome to call in if they ever pass us again.
Andy and Stella.
Another positive experience. Inga was great... very happy to have her back to look after my 2 cats and my home. The cats are very comfortable around her, which is always a good sign. The house was left neat and tidy :)
A very positive first experience with having someone in my home and looking after my cats. Inga did a great job looking after the cats and left the house neat and and tidy. She's a lovely, kind person and the cats took to her straight away. If you're thinking of getting Inga in to house sit / pet sit you can be confident of a positive experience.
Inga is fantastic. She looked after our menagerie with great care and our Lab couldn't be happier. The house was tidy and the garden watered. Our Chooks were delighted.
I highly recommend Inga who is a very competent housesitter and a really great person. Perfect.
House was keeped clean and in excellent shape. The Garden was well watered and taken care of. Pets were happy had water and appropriate amounts of food. All together a great house keeping job and would definitely recommend! :)
A house sitter provides loving, full-time, home-based pet-care while you're away.
