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

I have just arrived at Romsey in Victoria, for 2 weeks. Beautiful area and delightful cosy house. We enjoyed the drive from Adelaide - taking a leisurely 2 days, visiting friends on the way. I am keeping well thank you, and hope to keep making many trips in the future.

At the moment I am in the last week or so of a  house sit on the Sunshine Coast, Buderim (just north of Brisbane) then I do a two week stint in Canberra.
I reckon I'm getting about a dozen phone calls a week from people wanting a house sitter.
Pat :) Australia June 10

Thanks Danny,
 Yes, we receive phone calls almost daily and have meet some wonderful people during our house sits.
Most of our house sitting now comes from word of mouth which is great, but we still get some through this website, so a big THANK YOU.

 Hi Danny
Have just finished a housesit for Naomi *** in Sydney for 2 weeks, looking after her little dog Rosie. Naomi is a really nice lady and we got on very well. Rosie is the cutest little dog and I loved looking after her. I really enjoyed my stay and Naomi was very happy to have me there and will give me an excellent reference, which is great. She has invited me to stay with here if I visit Sydney again.
Could you please put New Zealand on my list of house sits please.
Thanks

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 - thanks for the note - I just wanted to let you know that I have found an excellent house sitter (through your site of course) and ask that you remove the ad when convenient.
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.
All the very best from Kim

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"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers Margaret,

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.
Best Wishes Lisa & Shelley,

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.

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,

Hi Danny
Just wanted to let you know that we've heard from Eric and he will be housesitting for us for the February trip to the U.S. ... and will possibly be available for the September one.

Thanks Danny - we have had a marvellous response to our listing - we are booked... and have received 3 other requests to house-sit at the same time - all of which we have refused as promptly as possible -  the update will address that issue, thanks.

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.

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

We have never used your site before, and put an advert on yesterday and have been blown away by six very interesting replies already. Our problem now will be how to choose.
Wonderful site and thank you so much...

Hello again,
 Just got another housesit at Hervey Bay following on from Coffs Harbour (funny really because we don't particularly like the beach), so if you could change our available dates again to 2nd June 2009 it would be much appreciated.

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.

Kind regards Rhonda, Tasmania, June 09

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
Could you please take our message off your list please.  We have had a great response and have now selected someone (subject to them agreeing to come) and a back up if needed.
 I have let so many people know about your site from those who want sitters to those who want to house-sit. Thanks again.

Well, what can I say. Had an inquiry within twenty-four hours. In fact, the home owner is now drawing up a contract, even though I haven't had time to get my references and police clearance together yet. However I will forward those to him ASAP.
Pen and I are now booked until August 24th. Please amend our records.
 Thank you,

Hello Danny,
Please sign me up again. Like many of your housesitters I am meeting new people all of the time although the majority of my sits are for repeat customers.
Currently have bookings until Jan 2010.
Trust you are handling the pressure OK and your golf handicap is still on the way down.

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.

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.

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
