Homeowners from Historic, St Augustine (oldest city in USA) Florida find fabulous, immaculate house sitters.

This is a wonderful service. My husband and I have used it twice and have had excellent results. Most recently we hadTom & Judy - House sitters' Username Handynhearty stay in our home in St. Augustine, Fl. for two weeks.

Ed: Historic St. Augustine is the oldest city in United States

They were fabulous and loved St. Augustine so much they are thinking of moving here. They left before we arrived back home but left the house in immaculate shape and also left a wonderful note. I would highly recommend them as house sitters.

We hope we see them again in St. Augustine, possibly as neighbors. Thanks so much Tom & Judy!

Retired House Sitter NiftyNana sees interesting places across Australia, while Writing

My House-sits have been the best experience & I have made new friends as a result. My first was at Glenugie NSW near Grafton on 25 acres for 2 months, next Kooralbyn on the Scenic Rim there for 5 weeks, after that Townsville for 3.5 weeks, Kingscliffe for 1 week, then Blackbutt, Newcastle coming up. During May, June & part of July I'm house-sitting for friends in NZ. So nothing planned after that, I don't want to commit too far ahead.

My reasons for wanting this experience are.... I am now retired, so free to get about & see other places which are of interest to me, also I do a bit of writing so I'm not bothered by all the distractions of being at home.

The great thing for me is that I don't need to do this for financial reasons ., therefore I go when & where I choose, & really appreciate my home more when I return.

I find the home owners are so grateful & accommodating which in itself is rewarding & I feel I'm providing a service, to me it is a reciprocal arrangement that benefits both parties.

Canadian House Sitter Mary-jane finds Adventure around Canada

HI there - just thought I'd let you know that I've done two house sits since November. One in Penticton and one in Calgary thanks to this website.

I am about to do one on Pender Island for 3 weeks in February and then one in March-April in Naramata BC for friends.

I am on CPP Disability and this is getting me out of the house and allowing me some adventure.

Thank you. Mary-jane

Sara shares her housesitting lifestyle: - house sits for 2 years in Melbourne VIC

I joined housecarers.com two years ago. Since then I have house sat twice - for the same people - once for six weeks, once for two years. I am now responding to other housesits (as this one comes to a close).

This experience has been great and I've had really nice feedback from the home owners of recent housesits I've applied to - I haven't been able to make a match yet re. dates and location but I will keep looking - even if it is just for 'holiday' house sits rather than being main place of living.

I do it for a number of reasons:

1. I was looking for ways to be able to make the time and
space to do part time study - by house sitting I could continue to work part time plus I had a lot of peace and quiet to study - it has been invaluable for that.

2. But I also did it because I have an
interest in alternative ways of living. I grew a vege garden, joined a vegie swap, took public transport or bike as often as possible, I picked and preserved the produce from the garden trees on the property I looked after... None of these I did 100%, or particularly well (re.vege garden), but the idea was to try and see what is possible - how you can approach work differently - ie. when I had dry patches of work (because I'm a casual) I put time into the property or preserving
something for the home owners. This isn't a a plug for a fantasy hippy lifestyle (it could start reading like that) - I am always aware that I wouldn't be able to do this if other people weren't working in the system fulltime with a house and a mortgage as a result - I just wanted to explore what is possible.

Eastern Tasmanian homeowners (Coles Bay) choose the Early Bird

"We just wanted to say a sincere thank you for the wonderful service that you offer and at NO cost to those seeking a house-sitter! We advertised for the first time last Saturday and within 48 hours had 14 applicants with more since(who says Tasmania has no appeal in late Autumn/Winter!).

The standard was extremely high and it was a difficult choice but we eventually settled on a wonderful couple who come with great references from previous house-sits. They were also the FIRST to apply......which just shows that the early bird catches the worm!

Many thanks again & we will undoubtedly use your services next time. Best regards EASTERNTAS
