I just wanted to say thank you for your site. I joined on a Wednesday less than two weeks ago and had my first sit confirmed on the Friday. I've since secured two more sits which means I can now go and spend quality time with hubby while he's working interstate. It all worked out quicker and easier than I expected so would highly recommend Aussie House Sitters as the go to site for house sitting. Allison
