The sitter advertised on craig list.

This reinforces our recommendation that homeowners
1. Ask for references that can be verified
2. Perform identity checks on housesitters
3. Sight the original police clearance certificates.

Amazing Connections - Sitters on way home from McMurdo Station in the Antarctic to USA sit Haberfield Sydney NSW

0 comments
"We regularly recommend you to anyone we're talking to about our travels and at least 2 people have used Housecarers on our recommendation. We're very excited about our latest housesitters: we're still in the process of negotiating but if it eventuates, they're coming here from McMurdo Station in the Antarctic at the end of their 12 months there, on the way home to the US.

The amazing thing is the people we've met in this process and we've been over to the US to visit with one of our previous couples already; we tend to pick overseas housesitters when it suits and we can screen them effectively at a distance.

Well done and keep up the good work!"

Finding your new best friend: Adopt a Greyhound

0 comments
Once year ago I adopted a beautifull Male Brindle Greyhound, Red - or RedBoy, or RedMon (affecitionally named by my friend from West Indies). He was the most affectionet easy to look after pet you good hope for. No barking, obedient, and a heart of gold - hardly ever heard him growl, except when a friend persisted on pulling his long tail. He will be sadly missed as I had to return him to Grey Hounds as Pets
Greyhounds as pets due to a recent move. They will be sure to find him a good home.

He was so consistent - excited to welcome us home, jump in the car, go for a walk or welcome every visitor with his large wagging tails.

I recommend greyhounds as a great family pet - very non agressive and clean, and obliging. My grandaughter Sophie loved him. You will help save them being put down - as many dont turn out be winners on the race track.

Retired couple from South Carolina chosen for housesit in PENSACOLA Florida

0 comments
"Thank you Ian. I have found a house sitter--a retired couple from South Carolina, so my ad has been removed. I am very happy with this service. Thank you again."


This is a great break for a retired couple from South Carolina - check out the attractions:

"Beautiful beaches are within driving distance.
There are also scenic rivers where you can go
tubing and canoeing all within a 30-45 minute
drive from the house. A paved bicycle trail is
located 14.6 miles east of our home and a hiking
trail at the University of West Florida is about 1
mile away. The downtown area, Seville Quarter, is
reminiscent of New Orleans French Quarter and has
plenty going on during the evening hours. "

House Sitter Dwanna builds her House sitting network in North Carolina NC and Maryland MD USA

"Dear Ian,

I am doing a two-month long house/cat sit at the moment in Asheville, Carolina (USA.) After that, I have a repeat sit (4th summer in a row) in northern Maryland. My dream of house sitting full-time has not happened yet but I usually have sits about 4-5 months out of the year. I enjoy them and enjoy meeting new people and new animals.

Thank you for asking. I value the housecarers.com site highly as a means of getting my info out there to homeowners. About 2/3 of my sits have come from your site and the rest from referrals from those clients."

Thank you,

Dwanna T (username: Cat_Companion)
