Free for owners

It’s totally free to join, place a job ad and secure a wonderful house sitter. The sitter will look after your pets, house & garden FOR FREE.

That’s what is generally known as INCREDIBLE value.

Great for sitters

A year's membership costs $84, with reduced fees for renewing members. More Australian house sits than any other sitter site with up to 100 new ads each day.

Backed by our award winning customer service.

Trust

Hi-grade security, ID verification & secure messaging are just some of the features that help to build trust between members.

We back all of this with fast & friendly support.

The Original Pet Sitting site

We've been connecting Aussie pet owners with trusted pet sitters & dog sitters since 2005.

Pet owners mostly get a "House Sitter" to care for their pets—so we've ALWAYS been a "Pet Sitting" and a "Dog Sitting" site (and a chicken sitting / horse sitting / farm sitting etc... site).

Because we've been doing this so long, we've got the experience, the security and the award-winning support to give you the very best service.

Loving, in-home care is best for your pets

Your pets feel safest and happiest in their own house, with familiar territory and routines. Ask any Vet.

Not even the best boarding facility will compare with their own home, and they are expensive. A house sitter provides loving care for your pets in their own house - for free.

If you have to leave your pets - get them a sitter.

Hi Guys, Thank you so much for your site we had used it a number of times looking for sitters without any hassles or problems, the sitters we've used from your site have been great. Thank you & keep up the good work Tom & Maria - More Pet Owner testimonials

We have just regisered for the 2nd yr with aussie housesitters, have had 2 housesits and again booked for another 2 which has fit in with our travel plans. We are thoroughly enjoying the experience. Thankyou. Doug and Sylvia - More House Sitter testimonials

Garden

Wouldn’t it be great to know that your pot plants are being watered, or that your private oasis is 100% cared for while you’re away?

Of course it is, and it's exactly what house sitters offer - for free.

House

Having a sitter in the house is simply the best form of home security. An empty house is a target for burglars and vandals.

And someone at home can deal with storm damage, pet emergencies etc.

Updates

You can contact your house sitter at any time to get pet updates, or to remind them about the garbage collection.

All of this provides enormous PEACE OF MIND while you’re away.
