House sitters available for February and March 2025 in Victoria and southeast South Australia.

We are happy to consider both short and longer term sitting positions.
We are a fit & healthy retired couple (60 ish) travelling with no pets or children. We have a farming background and have experience with a range of farm and domestic animals and gardening. We can provide recent references.
We have a 21-foot caravan which we are happy to stay in on your property in return for access to power, water and a toilet if possible.

Vicki and Barry were fantastic sitters. They looked after our home and various farm animals for two weeks. Our horse, goat sheep and chickens along with our 2 Dogs were all very well cared for- they even welcomed our five newly hatched chicks into the world. Their communication was great, and were proactive in fixing a few small issues as they arose. Highly recommend!
 
TRUDY (Sheffield TAS, Sep 2023 - 2 weeks)
Barry and Vicki are very competent, kind and trustworthy house and pet sitters. They cared for our 5 acre property and animals for 8 weeks just as we asked and were very proactive in contacting us when small issues arose, often already dealing with problems without worrying us. We had the best stress free holiday with weekly updates and had total confidence in their ability. We highly recommend Barry and Vicki to care for your home and animals.
 
CAROL (Karoola TAS, May 2023 - 2 months)
If you are fortunate enough to have Vicki and Barry offer to house sit for you - DO NOT HESITATE😊..! They are amazing house sitters. They looked after our 90 acre farm complete with 8 horses, goat and dogs for nearly 3 weeks and we felt completely at ease that everything would be perfect on our return - and it was! The horses required feeding and some rugging ✔ The dogs are spoilt and needed alot of tlc✔ The farm generally needed keeping an eye on✔ Their communication was also top notch. ... MORE

Nic and Pam for the opportunity to farm sit your property and animals. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Communication before and during our sit was first class and written instruction simple and easy to follow. We look forward to being able to sit your place again. Thanks Vicki and Barry
Vicki and Barry are brilliant house sitters, they are great with the dogs and kept everything ticking over perfectly. Would highly recommend them!

Thanks again - return visit was great.
We were very happy to return home to a warm clean house and very contented and well cared for cats, goats and chooks. We couldn't fault anything and can highly recommend Vicki and Barry for any sits, we'd have them back for sure.
 
LINDY (Bakers Beach TAS, Mar 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
Such a great feeling to have the house and dogs left in such capable hands. I would highly recommend Vicki and Barry. We came home to very happy puppies and are keen to have them back house sitting at Easter.

Thanks Lorna and Michael, we thoroughly enjoyed looking after Saffron, Cinnamon and Chilli.
Vicki & Barry looked after our property and cat for about 3 weeks. Prior to the sit we met at home and had scones and tea. We all enjoyed each others company very much. We had no stress while we were over seas as Vicki & Barry are very trustworthy and competent. Upon our arrival back to Australia our house was in the exact same state as we left it, and our cat was just her normal self content with the friendship they offered. We have told Vicki & Barry that they are welcome back to our ... MORE
