Feeback from sitter member MeganPO

Hi, Ian

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for good service. It's not very often I do this but I believe that I should give credit when due.
My husband and I started housesitting in August 2005 and a friend recommended Housecarers.

I find the service to be user friendly, informative and the email alerts very useful.

We recently accepted a 3 month assignment through your website which has now changed to a very long term assignment ( it could potentially go on for years).
Joining your website has been one of my best investments.

Thanks for the great service... MeganPO

Mummsy finds dog and home sitter for Rural Tasmanian home

Hi there,

We have been successful in finding the right sitter for our house and dog through your service. We want to thank you for an efficient system, it was easy to use and hassle free. We can go on our trip now with peace of mind.

Regards,
Mummsy (Kay)

We need someone to mind our young dog in her own home environment while we are in New Zealand. She is friendly de-sexed and very lovable. She would require a walk each day (weather permitting). Scottsdale is in rural Tasmania 1 hr east of Launceston. Beautiful scenery, golf course, RSL Club, large shopping centre, restaurants etc etc. The house has two double bedrooms, recently renovated kitchen, warm and cosy with reverse cycle aircons and wood fire. Our car would be at the disposal of sitters (should you fly here and need a car). References and or Police Clearance would be required.

Sitter selected for Tauranga Bay of Plenty New Zealand Housesit

Thanks for your service. Your site provided us with a continued supply of interested housesitters and we were able to select the best couple for our circumstances. Well done and thanks! ..lpclark

We require housesitters (we prefer a couple) to take care of our home, large section, cat, goldfish and two dogs while we are in Europe for 4 weeks in July/August 2006. You need to be sufficiently fit to mow our lawns and walk the dogs who are energetic. A car can be provided for day trips or to take the dogs to more distant parks and the beach. We live within walking distance of estuary walks, parks and the bus route, and within a short driving distance of shopping facilities and supermarkets. Our neighbourhood is friendly and our home, though dated, is comfortable and warm. The successful candidates would need to be able to stay with us for 4 - 5 days prior to our departure on 17 July so that you can become familiar with the dogs, their medication and their routine, and allow them to be comfortable with you.

Auckland licking Staffie finds a minder

We have had a number of responses to our ad. We have selected Ian and Jude of Birkdale, North Shore City. We are lucky to have found them and they are lucky to have found us! Our dog Ben met them and was happy in their company. I have no doubt that Ben, Ian and Jude will live happily together for five weeks.

Dog lover needed to look after Ben, a seven year old Staffie X neutered male dog. He needs a daily walk,loves contact with people and is likely to lick you from head to toe! We keep him on a lead as he is not so keen on other dogs - people are his thing! He has his own bed room and is used to being spoilt. If we could take him to France we would! Our 1922 three bedroom character house is in Northcote Point and has an indoor/outdoor flow. It is handy to buses and the ferry and is ten minutes drive to the city when the traffic is flowing freely. It has a lovely garden but we don't need any gardening done.

SeeNewZealand is enjoying the interaction

HI! Just wanted to say this is a fun process so far! This is the first time we have ever sought a housesitter. There was an article in AARP magazine that mentioned your website so that engendered some trust in the idea of cyber-meeting through your site. In just a day, I received 6 replies, and all of them sound like really interesting people! Even a couple from New Zealand answered, which was really exciting since that is where we are headed for the vacation that is creating a need for a housesitter. I replied to each of them and am confident that among them there is one who will turn out to be the best match for us. Thanks for creating your website.
