I just want to say a huge THANK YOU. I had a marvellous and fast response. Your website was a joy to use and I love the fact that you care about both the applicant and the house -sitters.... SueAndPrue Homeowner profile
I recently did a 2 week sit at Vincentia.Two large dogs and 2 cats were exhausting but rewarding experience
watching dolphins swim by as I walked the beach path. The current sit was gained by phone from a local couple and it ends tonight. One wild, timid cat and huge yard to care for kept me busy.
Will take a rest for the rest of this year, saw a good prospect for Feb 2014 at Coffs will apply for it early!!
Am pleased with the service you provide and will continue on while I am able to travel.
Your website is better than ever now as you keep providing new features. I live in Mildura Victoria and am semi retired, I have a part-time curator job at a private school, so I can get away for 2 weeks maximum without stress...Having very little savings to retire on, we bought a Mercedes Sprinter van and put a queen mattress inside for overnight stays en-route to sits.
We sold our house three years ago, now we care for a ninety three yo. gent in his home, this gives Netti an income and us a place to stay 'tween sits. Luigi is as fit as a trout on the food and vitamins he gets from us.
We will venture to Tassie one day when we are free to stay longer. We have our next permanent place to stay here sorted already - at little cost. We started sits at Wagga three years ago, referrals are easy once
you have some experience, I now have at least eight refs. to date.
My next sit bloke (in July)sold my first sit man one of his blocks of rural land in Wagga
That first sit guy was my religion ( that helped start us off ) they had an active community garden there and had film nights once a month, the neighbours were very friendly there, also in Vincentia recently the people were very cordial, even the young people were most outgoing there. A neighbour took me fishing
and on drives. We sometimes get some reimbursement for travel/work done but don't expect much.I plan to wait till next year after the next sit is done July/August as our grass is verdant here under irrigation
.
Each sit is different and we learn many new things by these experiences.
Cheers,
Barry Morton.
I had Live-in Pet Sitter Sailormom house and pet sit for a week and the experience was awesome! I love that she sent daily text messages and pictures about my two dogs. I completely trust Laura with my dogs and would love to have her sit again if possible! She left my house cleaner and my pups better behaved than when I left them to her :)

I am so pleased that I was told of your service. We have dogs that would not do well outside our home setting and we are fortunate to have found a great couple via your service. We came home to a nice clean home, the dogs were happy to see us however they did not seem stressed. They were happy. Thanks again it makes traveling easier with not having to worry about our pets.View housesit filled, house sitter found for, Solar Heights, Rio Rancho, New Mexico
This is the second time I have used House Carers and I would like to thank you for the opportunity to find wonderful carers for my home and animals. It is so easy and so safe and I would highly recommend your service. Thank you again.

I have had great success I've had because of your site. I won't be renewing for a few months as I'm booked until the middle of October. But I will be renewing because there is a good energy about your site and service.
We have been using www.housecarers.com since 2007 and have secured some excellent house-sitters. We have had at least seven different couples or singles, some for repeat visits. We have also recommended your site to many friends who have had great results too.I am sure we will be using your website for as long as we are still able to travel, hopefully for many years to come!
Good Morning from Sunny South Auckland.
I most certainly have started recommending your site as it was looking like an impossible task finding someone for my animals ( We have 2 eleven year old dogs and 2 indoor cats, 11 and 3 year old.).
This room was born out of the sun being to hot to enjoy dinning out on the deck. It is cool and brings the outside to the inside.

I just say THANKS LOADS for your site - its added a whole new dimension to my life and some completely awesome experiences. I'm in Vienna Austria now on a long sit and life is wonderful.
From San Francisco but normally live in England. Have done sits now via housecarers in France, the USA and here in Vienna, and plan to keep doing them again and again - I started doing it to de-stress from hard work but now I've gotten a bit hooked on it and plan to continue with it, interspersed with spells of work to pay for it! It's a great way to see more of the world - great to actually stay somewhere interesting for weeks or months at a time. I've told so many people about it and they are always amazed that you can actually live this way if you want to. It's just great - I can't praise it enough! Sarah BView Sarah's House Sitter Profile
Hi, We can't praise your web site highly enough. Within 12 hours of posting our notice we had several very suitable people apply. We have chosen a couple who were available to come for an interview immediately, and as they came with glowing references certainly were the type of people we needed. Thank you for such a comprehensive web site that covers all aspects of appointing house sitters.

Hello Ian. After just two days of advertising for a house/cat sitter we found the most wonderful lady to come sit for us next July. We have pulled the ad. We had about 5 or 6 people contact us about the sit. It was amazing.from the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
You truly give a wonderful service to those of us that need to get away and not worry about our precious pets. This will be the 3rd lady that we will have from your wonderful site.Gudrun & Dwayne OregonOutback36
I have lined up a sitter for my travel dates so thank you and I will suspend until the next need arises. I think you do a great service... RosalieView Housesit Filled, Chicago - housesitter found
We have now found a house sitter for over Christmas. What a wonderful service you provide.
This is to let you know that we have chosen a house-sitter from a number of excellent applications. This is the third time we have made use of your site and we are indeed impressed with your prompt and efficient service. MANY THANKS. I have suspended and replied to all applications individually. Again, thanks for your wonderful service Regards Hilary... Riverspell ... View housesitter found for housesit, Comox Valley, Denman Island, Denman Island Gulf Islands,British Columbia Canada
Riverspell is a 3-bedroom home on Aquavista Crescent, in the picturesque village of Cannonville, on the banks of the beautiful Sundays River. Our house overlooks the river with a view of golden dunes – a wonderful, peaceful place for you to wander freely, and for the dogs to race around. (These are, incidentally, famous as being part of the Alexandria sand dunes - the largest coastal dune system in the Northern Hemisphere)
The tidal river offers excellent boating, fishing and other water sports – we have two canoes for your use. We are a stones-throw from the South Gate of the Addo National Game Park.
Three lovely dogs and one cat need loving care and company.
Here we offer you a relaxing holiday in these delightful surroundings, in return for your care of our home and animals.
Just letting you know that we again received many very appealing applications to house-sit, and we only wish we could have pleased more than one couple! At the start of this year we were delighted with the English travelling couple we had to house-sit, and have stayed in contact since.
We hope and expect that the central coast couple we have selected for next year will be just as good. Thanks for the excellent service you provide through House Carers. "Chiacat", Downer, ACT
We would like to say another big 'Thank You' to House Carers.com for a fantastic service. We have just returned from our annual trip 'home' having left our home and our beloved Labrador, Pippa with two great sitters. They've cared for everything in the most wonderful and efficient manner, for which we are eternally grateful! House Carers.com really has the most amazingly dedicated band of home carers and if it weren't for their help and kindness we would find it difficult to return to the UK each year. Thank you once again to Andrea and Scott, and to the team at House Carers!!
I am overwhelmed by the response to my ad and the amazing people that have replied to it. What a wonderful service you offer! I was terrified at the prospect of allowing a stranger to stay in my house!
I have found a lady who responded first to my ad so hopefully all will go well. I have turned off my add and new housesitter email notification. Many thanks and kind regards Susan
I am so grateful for this service. For the past eight years it has made our vagabond retirement years possible. Thanks to the wonderful people (the house sitters) we have gotten to know through this website we have been able to travel completely at ease about the care of our home, pets and garden.
I do my job of carefully considering and responding to each one who answers our ad, checking references and reviewing a clear contract, but each sitter has more than fulfilled what was expected of them. My neighbors who were initially horrified that we were traveling while "strangers" were left in our home have all become friends with our various sitters and now use the website themselves!
Thank you, thank you for this good idea and for keeping it going in such a responsive, organized way!.. Sid and Doni, WinteringGround, Grass Valley, Sacramento CA USA
All done! The chickens and I are having a blast with the new chicken house!

We are in a wonderful "banana belt" region of the Sierra Foothills, situated 1/2 hour from Grass Valley, 2 hours from Lake Tahoe, about one and a half hours from Sacramento and 3 hours from San Francisco. We overlook a large 800 acre lake fed by the South Fork of the Yuba River and we can promise you beautiful views and gentle lake breezes. We have a swimming pool but there is enough rain in the winter to make that
more scenic than usable. A winter housesit is inviting for people who like to hike the trails on the ranch or visit nearby lakes,rivers and Gold Country towns and museums.
