Aussie House Sitters was the first website I came across when I was looking for places to stay while my house is being built and I am very pleased that it was. The site is organised well, with clarity and positivity and the ease of finding a sit, contacting home owners and communicating is outstanding. I would certainly recommend Aussie House Sitters to anyone. Chris
