My Husband and I are very experienced International Professional House Sitters who have been house sitting continuously now for 8 years.
Over the last few years we have been doing a lot of repeat house sit, a couple of hosts have used us three times and one host has booked us up for the next three years and feel that this speaks volumes of our high standards.  In 2007 we did a fantastic house sit in Denver Colorado for three months and the host has asked us back again.

This was a leap of faith for us and it has been very worthwhile. We have made many friends along the way and we work wherever we house sit. Your site has given us the opportunity to bring our dream to fruition and we thank you for that. We are actively promoting this way of life to many and have passed on your site info to prospective house sitters and home owners. Telling them of the ease and availability of information.
 Hooroo for now

Hi Danny, superb, one thing I forgot to add...
I do indeed sing your praises to friends and also on several internet forums I use, you have always come up trumps for us.
Kindest regards

Hello Danny - herewith new advert. (for 2009)
 It reflects some of the queries we get regularly (kids, payment, transport etc.) A bit of further advice for prospective sitters - they should make sure they put a subject title for their email. Some don't and Hotmail dumps them in "junk" or I don't open them in case they are spam/virus.
We've just returned from a week in the sun-soaked Alps. US (ex-pats) sitters were v. good. Their daughter in the UK sent them your info.
Regards, Philip,
Exeter, Devon, England, Jan 09

thank you for a great service we filled the position and will use you again....

Hi Danny ,Thank you for your prompt reply, I just thought I should let you know we had a great year of h/sits during 08 on a quick tally I believe we may have spent only about 3mths at our own home, not to be forgotten some of the great times we had during our house sits, looks like a busy year for 09 as well.

I have been a Housesitter for three (3) different places including a farm in the Coffs Harbour area totalling period over six months, back at work now but like details on future possibilities when I take twelve months off work in the next year or so because I do miss it.

Hi Danny,
Many thanks for your prompt listing of our details, which has already produced results.
Many thanks, Chris & Alison

Hello Danny
you've kept us in sitters now for 5-6 years I guess. ... Most callers and emailers mention your site during the conversation plus we have put others in touch with the site. Most of our sitters now are Australian - late fifties, early sixties, a lot of ex-pats who want to come back to see how its changed. A lot of early retired.
We are (currently) in France ski-ing now for the week so have sitters from US looking after the house
Many thanks

Thank you Danny & Andrea.
We are presently in Switzerland house sitting for a young couple. They are American and live here on a 2 yr contract with Johnson & Johnson. They hope their next contract will take them to Australia.
We have enjoyed our stay and our location is right on Lake Neuchatel. On a clear day we look over the lake to the Alps. (haven't had too many of those) During our time here we have visited a good part of Switzerland and the Alps. They are truly spectacular. It is snowing outside as I write this. Have just heard it is 32degrees and humid at home in Brisbane so we will notice it when we get off the plane on 9thJan.
We have enjoyed the opportunity to house sit and have had offers that were good and some not so good.
We feel this will be our last trip overseas as we are getting older and find it more difficult. This time we were 2 1/2months in the US and Canada before we came to Switzerland on 21st Nov so we have been away from home for a long time and looking forward to getting home again.
All the best, Bev & Ron, Aust to USA, Canada, Switzerland, 2008/09

Fraud Alert

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please remember...

As house sitting usually works on the basis of free rent in exchange for normal day-to-day live-in duties,
any offer of salary/wages should be viewed with suspicion and assistance in travel expenses is NOT normal.

Definitely do NOT provide your bank account details to anyone and make your own travel arrangements through bona fide travel agents.


Some scams ask you to receive cheques, to be banked/cashed with the funds forwarded on.
Unfortunately the cheques bounce leaving the sender out of pocket.

We are doing our best to reduce this sort of unwanted mail
however industry sources state this is an internet-wide problem.
