Hi Danny I am pleased to advise that we have engaged a house sitter for our property and as a result would like to advise you to remove our ad from the service.
Thank you for your assistance.

Hello, We have now found ourselves a sitter for this advertisement placed on 16/1/12 ... Thank you for the use of your site to help us to achieve this outcome.
Regards, John & Shelley,
Mornington Peninsula, Jan 2012

---------------------------------------------
Thanks Danny
Its been a very interesting year as a member of housesitworld.
The idea was to house/pet sit while building a new home.
Every home brought a new experience, and some very loveable pets. Its difficult to single any one out, though I must admit to falling in love with an amazing little dog called Molly whom I had many adult conversations with, she would put her head to one side and hang on your every word. Having
the experience of looking after a nine acre property with its rolling hills and beautiful sunsets was to say the least very tranquil. Exploring new places, meeting different people, has expanded my outlook.
Thank you Housesitworld, I Highly recommend it.
Sincerely Christine Perth WA Jan 2012
---------------------------------------------
Hey Danny,
Happy New Year to you and thanks to your site we have been around and about Australia for 2 years and counting.
Our next stop is Merimbula NSW for a few months. We appreciate all that you do with your site and promote it whenever and where ever we are. Our travels are certainly fun but we also enjoy helping home owners achieve their trips away without too much worry. It truly is a very rewarding lifestyle and I think we have the routine of packing, unpacking, cleaning and moving down pat.
All the best for 2012 to you and all the Housesitworlders.
Kind Regards, Melissa & John, Australia, Jan 2012

Hi Danny, thank you for the service that you provide for both sitters and home owners and their animals.

I'm about to renew with you but do you cover NZ as yet?. . .

Eric, Adelaide, Aug 2011
---------------------------------------------
Recently I returned from a Qld house sit at Sandy Creek which is near Kilcoy, getting into the mountains. We had delightful weeks in beautiful surroundings. Time also was spent in the mountains at Jimna and Maleny.
Such a pleasure to meet the local people. But we did not spot the Kilcoy Yowie! Though found the Yowie Coffee mobile van in the park.
The owners had not ever tried a house-sitter before, and I believe they were happy with our care. . . .
I had recommended your site again to a friend, she found a willing person at first try, who is willing to house sit for her again in the future...
Regards Gwen, Adelaide to Qld, Aug 2011
---------------------------------------------
Dear Danny
I was wondering if you could take down our advertisement for a house sitter as I have found one.
Thanks so much for peace of mind knowing I can have a holiday with my pets being looked after.
Thanks again, Cammie & Raj, Perth, Aug 2011

Hi Danny, Have built up a great friendship with the last homeowners we sat for, will be going back for a week starting 28th July and then again on the 19th of August after they shift away.
My Husband the builder will be replacing the ceilings and roof of their home as they are going to rent it out. . .

Hi Can you please cancel my add looking for a housesitter in Balgowlah from 22nd July-19 August.
I have been contacted by quite a few people off your fabulous site and the position has been filled.
Thanks so much again.... your site is never a disappointment!
Leigh, New South Wales, July 2011
---------------------------------------------
Thank you for the opportunity to use your service - we now have a sitter for the dates we require.
Regarding feedback:
we have used house sitters many times over the years, but this is only the second time we have used your site. Our first sitter was Helen ***** and we would recommend her highly. Also, the other sitters we have contacted have in each case except one, responded promptly, even when unable to do the sit.
We are very pleased, too, that we can get short-term housesitters. When I had spoken to agencies in the past I was led to believe that short -term housesitters were not usually available. However, we have found one through your site for a stay of 12 days only, which is great.
Kind regards Anne and Mike, Brisbane, May 2011

---------------------------------------------
Hi Danny, thankyou very much for the house sitting assistance. Could you please remove our ”ad” from your listing, as we have today secured, a New Zealand couple who we have decided will be ideal for us. I will give you feed back, when we return from our holiday.
Thanks again for this great service.
Kind regards Pauline & Gordon

Diana & Steve, Toowoomba, April 2011

---------------------------------------------
Hi Danny,
Thanks to your site we had a person contact us to house-sit within 2 weeks.
The house-sit is in Northern NSW for June, July, August which were the months we were after so I have adjusted the add for the following year 2012.
It's amazing what you can achieve in this modern world these days via the internet. It is a great site that you have created and although we have done a lot of overseas travel we may look further down the track at an overseas house-sit.
Kind Regards
Bernice Qld March 2011

(April to end August) West Australia, Feb 2011

---------------------------------------------
Thanks for the reminder Danny.  Yes go ahead with the renewal, it's good value!
People keep asking us when we are going to stop house sitting...  why would we?  It's a great lifestyle.  We are currently in Sawtell (Coffs) for more of a holiday than a house sit but that's because we don't have any pets here, just enjoying the beach lifestyle!
P & B, Australia, Feb 2011
---------------------------------------------
Hi Danny,
We have done several “sits” since we put our advert back in but we now need a break so could you please remove it as we are getting at least 1 call per day at present! (1 Woman has rung twice yesterday and again today because she wanted us to change our mind! )
Cheers for now,
Dawn & Alan, West Australia, Feb 2011

Hi, Danny,
Thanks to you I found a very nice couple from S.A. through your web site. I think you can take my add off the site.

Hi Team,
Thank you
for allowing us to place our ad again.   We have found someone to sit for us, so can you please remove our ad.
We were really happy with the sitters we found last year which is why we used the site again. Thank you
Marg & Dave, Kilcoy, Qld, Jan 2011

---------------------------------------------
Hi Danny
House-sitting has been quite an amazing experience for us and I would recommend it to anyone - our only quip is probably that the owners where we stayed never organised any kitchen cupboard space for our goodies, hence we had containers sitting on the floor. There was always linen, bathroom and wardrobe space, but no kitchen cupboard space which I found intriguing.
We may well be on the road again one day and will certainly rejoin your organisation if we do so.
Regards and thanks,
Gillian & Erwin Darwin to Qld & NSW, Jan 2011

Hi Danny
I've just renewed my registration on your site.
I have been House sitting for 10 years mostly through this site, though many of my sits now are repeat sits.
Still getting lots of enquiries though I am for all intents and purposes fully booked until the end of October next year (2012) ...
I'm currently in a 2 month sit in Sydney which came through the website and I have had to knock back about 6 in the last week that found me through housesitworld.com (some people just leave it far too late to book )...
Will try to catch up for that coffee next time I'm up your way.

. . . So far our experiences house sitting have been great. We have been able to be a part of the community and to really see what it is like to live there, rather than pass through as tourists. . .
So far we have had sits within Australia but now we have one in Ireland for three months and then another in South Africa.

Had a great time!
Repeat house sitting in London for 6 weeks allowed us the time to see the sights at our leisure . . . took bus trips in different directions most days or stayed local as the mood took us . . .
and having a house sitter looking after our home in Australia meant a worry free holiday . . .

I have been invited back to Australia at least 24 times since my return from Sydney Feb. 2010!

Also, my best friends from my Sydney house sit are arriving in US Aug. and will stop to see me while on their caravanning trip through the US!
All of this made possible because of your house sitting site!
I will have to update my bio again!
Just wanted to give you my very positive feedback and say thanks for giving me the tool to take off on these wonderful adventures.
Hope this email finds you healthy and happy,

Hello Danny
Thanks again to you and your service. In using your House sit program, made it possible for us to extend our visit to Sydney and enjoy our family, especially being able to bond with our two young grandchildren giving us a loving relationship. . .
Bob & I enjoyed a very successful Housesit in Killarney Heights, minding two delightful 16yr old cats (brother & sister).
 At the beginning of our negotiations, our son was able to visit on our behalf to make personal contact, for both parties benefits. . . We were very warmly welcomed and everything could not have gone more smoothly, making it a pleasure to care for the owners home. I thoroughly got lost in some gardening, this also gave us contact and conversation with neighbors. . .
 We have been invited to visit anytime we are in Sydney. . .
We are so happy to inform you that we have another Housesit in Sydney . . .
Coral & Bob, Christchurch, New Zealand to Sydney, Australia, Aug 2011

Last year I spent time at Clare in a delightful house in very pleasant surroundings. Liked the place so much I actually did a repeat later in the year. As much as they would have liked me to come again they understood that I like to find different places to visit. I noticed they advertised with you again this year, and did find sitters for the time they needed.
I travelled with a friend to Romsey in Victoria, again a great couple in a cosy pleasant house. My friend had never been on a housesit, and was very apprehensive about the whole deal! On meeting the owners and being welcomed, wined and dined with a lovely roast meal, they put her at ease.
She said she did not like dogs, but before very long she had fallen in love with "Thomas". She could not resist his big brown eyes!
Such a pretty area around Mt Macedon, and to see the recovery of the bush and buildings from fierce bushfires.
So I am ready to travel again this year, it will be interesting to see what is offered to me. I continue to direct interested people to your website. A frequent question to me, is "What will it cost?" This is from house owners and the sitters.
Regards Gwen Australia March 2011
---------------------------------------------
Thanks Danny
We've used sitters from your site on 6 occasions over the last few years, for a couple of months each. Never had a problem - a couple have been truly excellent. Thanks for the service.

Danny,
Just an update for the site, we have bookings that take us through to February 2012, repeat sits in Aus and a new one (for approximately three months) in Scotland for later this year. The sit on the Isle of Man will be remembered for a long time as we saw all the seasons, green trees & lawns, autumn colours then bare trees with snow clinging to the branches and total ground covering of snow, including the heaviest snowfalls in 40 years on the island.
The Housesitworld site certainly gets a lot of attention.
 We trust santa found you and wish you a happy new year. Thank you.
Ray, Australia to Scotland & Isle of Man, Jan 2011

Dear Danny,
 Thank you for your email, and Happy New Year to you and your team!

Hi there,
Thankyou for your prompt attention regarding our telephone number adjustment for our ads....
We have had a great time making new friends and staying at interesting places all due to your wonderful site. We have had many interesting offers we were unable to accept due to ‘misses’ on dates, what a pity -  sometimes its like a lolly shop with so many terrific options to choose from... but they don’t always all quite mesh !! that’s life.
We always reply to the people we can't assist who contact us (not only the ones in the ‘good’ places that suit/interest us) and (if we like the sound of the place) ask to be contacted sometime for next year and to let us know asap.
It is amazing how many people imagine they will find a good housesitter with
ONE WEEK’S NOTICE!!!    Amazing!!
Good sitters are booked up a year ahead!
 - hey, perhaps a note on your site somewhere about ‘thinking ahead’ for people who are going away in the future and explaining that sitters need up to 6 months to work out their itinerary (the good sitters that is!!)  would save some disappointments – (we have had a couple of ‘desperate for someone for next month’ type of emails – poor guys, actually going overseas and didn’t plan ahead for sitters) ...
Kind regards to you and yours
Keep up the good work,
Regards Joy

Dear Danny,
Presently in a house sit on the Gold Coast
We were figuring out that the above house sit in Robina originated in Holland Park in September/ October 2008. Holland Park coming from Housesitworld.
She has been back to that house on another two occasions and out of that has come three other home owners by "word of mouth".
A pretty useful web site. Thanks.
Cheers and keep well

Hi Danny,
Just a quick message to wish you & yours a great holiday season. Thanks for all your help in 2010 and may 2011 be bigger & better, busier & more fulfilling. Keep doing what you're doing. Its great!! . . . .
To keep our travels to see the kids reasonable in both time and affordability we tried house sitting.
Wow, this worked really well and enabled us to visit but also have a base away from their hectic lives that we could escape to from time to time both for their sanity and ours.
We now have regular house sits nearby the kids so we can keep visiting them, but yes we also now have 'the house sitting bug' big time.
We have enjoyed it so much and met some great people we have decided to keep travelling for the next twelve or so months full time while we have the opportunity. . .
Kind Regards Melissa & John, Tasmania, Dec 10

Hi all at HousesitWorld,
many thanks for continuing to provide us with a steady stream of potential sitters.
We had an Australian couple here for 2 weeks Sept/Oct and they were great. Now we are looking for similar for 10 days from around the 7th Jan 2011. Lots of logs for the fires and local walks to the 16th Century local pub.
We had a couple from The North of England last year but the snow/ice was so bad they had to stay in the house for the first 3 days!!
Otherwise our advert needs no amending.
Best wishes to all

Hello. We are Alan & Chris and we recently had Frank and Jean house-sit our home on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland for us for 3 weeks while we were away on holidays.
We would like to say what a pleasant experience the whole arrangement proved to be for us. We found Frank & Jean to be a very nice couple who were very accommodating and couldn't do enough for us. They visited us not long after we made first contact with them via email and phone and we got to know them a little better. We were also able to show them around our house and we discussed what was expected from each party to the house-sitting arrangement. They agreed to tend to the gardens, water our pot-plants and bonsais, collect our mail, & look after our pet bird.
And when we returned from our break we found everything in perfect order and a nice letter from Frank and Jean waiting for us. Our neighbours have commented on how nice they were and that they had often seen them both out working in the gardens. Our pet Galah, Rosie, seems a little spoilt from the experience.
We would like to thank Frank and Jean for their wonderful efforts and say that we would certainly have them back to house-sit again for us in the future. Our sister and brother-in-law have also said that they would want them to also house-sit for them next year.

Regards Alan & Chris - Sunshine Coast, Sept 10

Hi Danny,
How's all with you, We haven't ventured out your way of late, but will aim to give you a hollar next time we do. . . . NO WAY getting tired of travel...!
We're currently engaged in caring for an executive property on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. A Balinese influence designed home, set in sub-tropical gardens, with an award winning swimming pool and a tennis court. A truly peaceful home, with three quality vehicles to exercise, along with one hilarious dog and a peaceful cat for company and cuddles. The owners are enjoying an extensive European tour.
- Immediately prior to this Qld assignment was a repeat assignment, securing a magnificent 18th century property on east-coast IRELAND. A twin-manor home set in mature gardens. This was an annual 7-month long assignment from 2004 to 2010. The owners relocate for lengthy periods to one of their island properties.
- Prior to Scotland, we cared for a prime SWISS Alps property for 2 months, with two resident cats, and one car to exercise.
- Before the Swiss peaks was a 2 month assignment, occupying an historic SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS estate manor. This was for repeat clients who sail the Adriatic Sea and far beyond, quite regularly. Their remote estate is where Golden Retrievers originate from; in the mid-19th-century Lord Tweedmouth bred the first recognised Golden Retriever here on his most northerly British estate. Upon completion of his palatial highland residence Lord Tweedmouth launched a grand opening ball by declaring that he would demolish his house if anyone built a finer dwelling more northerly in Scotland than his! His particular manor still stands tall to this day. Mind you, the roof is long gone. The worker's stone cottages now serve as 4-star guest quarters for keen anglers, hikers, grouse hunters and deer stalkers who frequent this vast estate.
- Before Scotland, was a 2 month assignment occupying a tranquil country residence in the Peak District of northern ENGLAND.
- Prior to Scotland was a 12-month townhouse and German Shepherd-care assignment in high-altitude Colorado, USA.
- Earlier still, a classic Vaucluse, SYDNEY Harbour property with uninterrupted harbour bridge views. This assignment required overseeing a major landscape revamp, plus exercising Jaguar & VW cars while the owners soaked up a global tour.
- The list goes on . . .
Thanks again and cheers, Donal and Mairead.

Hi Danny,
Thank you very much for the ad -- you won't believe it, I had almost 50 offers wanting to sit my house ! It was very difficult to decide.
I chose the couple from Somerville (near Boston) because I wanted to travel there and asked whether they would swap. And -- they did !
So we changed the dates to July (was better for both of us) and it was a real success !
I had a wonderful time in Somerville and they didn't want to leave here anymore because they felt so good here.
Next year I want to go to New Mexico and I hope to be able to find a similar solution.
So thanks again, you are giving us a wonderful opportunity,

Thanks also for the 'have a great trip' but in my case I live overseas so the trip is one to come back home to Australia !! ...and yes, I'm thoroughly enjoying the cold weather (it was 47c in Doha the day I left) and spoiling the dogs and the cat.
Well done with your web site and service (way better than another one I used a couple of times) Your site is easier to use, simple to navigate and you've turned up trumps again - congratulations.

My time in Australia and New Zealand was just magical. What a wonderful land and wonderful people.
While there, I had 7 other Aussies contact me to house sit. I just could not stay any longer, had to get back to take care of taxes etc. Bummer.
Made so many wonderful friends and memories.
I pinch myself to remind myself that I really was there. It all seems like a dream when one returns to the same old stuff at home.
Looking for a stay on the North American Continent right now. Canada or northern California and up to Vancouver! Toronto, New York, Chicago, oh gosh, anywhere! I just love to see new places and meet wonderful people
So let the good times roll again and send me another exciting opportunity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So many Thanks to you, Danny!
I need a new "gig"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Danny
Thanks so much for providing us with this noticeboard!
We hooked up with a fabulous couple (our dates changed to January, as we had to work around Bette Midler's Vegas dates as we definitely wanted to see her whilst we were there).
Robert and Jen looked after our dogs and our home beautifully - truly lovely people and the dogs adored them.
We had a fabulous trip and then came back to a sparkling clean house (not my experience with other sitters in the past) and happy and healthy dogs.
Robert and Jen enjoyed their time in England and visited London and the surrounding tourist attractions like Windsor Castle, which are close by.  We arranged for a friend to be available to dog sit if Robert and Jen wanted to be away from the property for more than 6 hours or even overnight, which worked out well.
I will without doubt be recommending your site to anyone that asks!
Meanwhile I am planning my next trip to Vegas -
I am now officially addicted to the place.

Hi Danny,
Can you please take my profile off your web page. I have enough sits to see me through to end of May 2010 but then I have to return to my full time employment.
I have had a fantastic run since joining your site, thank you very, very much.
I will re- register with you when my contract for employment ends.
Best wishes to you and your company, and may your health and life continue to flourish.
 Regards Heather, Tasmania, Feb 10

Hi Danny,
We have managed to find someone suitable to house sit.  Thank you for the help.
We found Housesitworld a very positive site to promote housesitting vacancies. We had a lot of interest but the advert is no longer needed.
Thank you Helen

Hello and thanks for your reminder of membership renewal.
At this stage I will not renew my membership as I have a house sit to start in Ireland in April which will take me through to the end of September and longer if I wish.
I left New Zealand nearly a year ago and have travelled by way of house sitting, the shortest being 3 weeks and the longest so far being 5 months. It is a great way to see the world at a pace that suits me well.
I have been in Ireland and England and made some wonderful friends - my house sit in Hampshire being 5 months so I have joined a local golf club. Its been great!
Thanks, I will join up again if needed, perhaps at the end of the year...
Kind regards, Heather,
New Zealand to Ireland / England, Feb 10

Good Morning Danny
The good news is that we now have our time in Darwin filled with house sits.
I will now need you to suspend our ad for we are fully booked till April 2011........

Thanks and cheers,

The site has worked it's magic again.
We
have just had a confirmation of a sit in Tasmania for the winter next year.
This is our 3 confirmed sit through the site.
We have had dozens more we couldn't accommodate.
I have just sent an update for our listing but I noticed that my edit left a bit to be desired. Grammar etc. I know you'll fix it but wanted to say thanks anyway.
Susan and I are in West Australia at the moment but are off to Tassie next April. The sit is organised from early May until the end of October.  Hopefully we will pick up more sits in Tas as we stay on for another 6 months before returning to the mainland.
Ted & Susan, Tasmania, Sept 09

Keep up the good work!

Hi Danny

Just got around to updating my adds...
At the moment about 75% of my sits are Repeats or referrals and I have had to knock back a few from the website due to existing bookings.

I’ve made lots of friends from House sitting and the rare “difficult” owners are far outnumbered by the “Marvellous” ones, and I do like to Call back and see my pets from time to time.

 Love your site and Have referred several of my friends who were interested in sitting. Also referred a few owners to the site, who’s friends had recommended me, but who I was unable to accommodate due to being booked up.

Keep up the great work.
look forward to perhaps meeting you face to face one day.
Regards  Ian, Brisbane, Apr 09

Hi Danny,
Thank you for your reply. As you would have realized I received response; actually I have received 4 now. Thank you for that. I received the first one after a short few days and the chemistry over the phone sounded perfect and it was even more so when we met so I am sitting for the first person who responded - so that is really great.  Two others though expressed their disappointment ... when I had to decline their request...
Elizabeth, Brisbane, June 09

Hello Danny, thank you for the update & I can tell you the housesit in Tassie is working out far better than I ever imagined it could be. I have made new friends & seen some beautiful scenery.

Hi Danny

Not long after we first went public (!) so to speak we received a lovely invite but it was unfortunately for 1 year and that didn't suit at present so reluctantly we turned that down.  We then got an invite from a couple who live just about 10 minutes from our daughter and we have accepted their offer to housesit their two dogs from early May to early June this year...
Thanks,
Jennifer & Earl, Ireland to Australia, Mar 09

Hello Danny

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
Peter and Dolores, Australia, Jan 09

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.

Davina, Hampshire England, Jan 09

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.

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 civil servants.
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 for contacting us.
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
