A day in my life as a house sitter

When house sitting I often find myself in a state of elevated happiness, at one with the world and totally detached from the everyday problems encountered in a ‘normal’ life.

My husband Mark and I have been with Aussie House Sitters for 2 years now and we just wanted to say what a blessing it has been in very way to use your facility. We were registered with 2 other house sitters but never used their services as you were so great. Over this time we were able to save up finances to buy our own house, which we'll move into in March. We just wanted to say how much we appreciate your service and the easy to use website. It has all been a great experience and we couldn't recommend you highly enough. Thank you for everything Julie and Mark
