House Sitters available (Victoria)
Our House Sitters list for all Australia is below. To view a list of house sitters willing to house sit in your area please use the drop down menu.
When filtering by State, you may see sitters from other states listed as well. That’s because those sitters have nominated they are willing to house sit in more than one state (some have chosen all Australia). They are all candidates for positions in the selected state.
We save you time. Replies from house sitters you contact can sometimes take a while and when they reply you may find your location and timing doesn’t suit their schedule. This means contacting house sitters one at a time can be a drawn out process. When you choose to contact a house sitter with us you will be asked to list your needs and when you do, available house sitters for your location and dates will be contacting you within hours.

We are Australian but currently living in Portugal for an extended period. We've had to return to Melbourne for 4 - 5 months for personal reasons and can't live in our home in Cheltenham, because we have tenants in it.
We love animals, particularly dogs, so that is not an issue.
We are active and WFH when we have a contract, except where our clients require attendance at their office. Read more
