Hi, We have just had a really good house sit experience and would like to review our sitters...
The S**** family ... from Melbourne sat our place for just over 3 weeks in July.
Ours is a country property, which means challenges such as feeding cows, keeping the fire alight and a rutted drive way. They managed everything really well. They came up for a weekend prior to learn the ropes which was reassuring for us.... very happy .....
Clare, Country Victoria, Australia
and from the sitters themselves
We?ve just returned from a delightful housesitting opportunity in Yackandandah. Not only did we enjoy some relaxing time in one of the best of localities but the house was ideal as a ?getaway? for our family and the requirements for maintaining the farm were not onerous. The owners provided detailed, written notes on all the key aspects of looking after the property and we referred to these frequently.
We loved the novelty of having chooks to feed and both our sons formed an immediate bond with a wonderful whippet. Despite the wintry weather, we enjoyed numerous sunny days, relaxing walks and drives and soothing spas under sparkling starry nights.
Thanks for entrusting you home to us, it was a memorable experience for our family.
All the best, Steuart, Melbourne to rural Victoria
------------------------------------------
Hi Danny...
We have decided the stop housesitting after our house-sit in Tassie finishes in February 2015...

Thanks again and all the best to you for the future. Stay well,

We feel very lucky to have met Lainey and Paul, two wonderful people that looked after our two dogs and cat December 2013/ January 2014. They looked after our home like it was their own too. Our dogs absolutely loved them. They took them to the beach every day, played with them and even took them out for morning coffee. Most surprising was our cat. She is slow to trust people and is generally quite fussy, they quickly won her trust and she too was smitten by them. We received regular photos and updates which was comforting and reassuring when you are on the other side of the world from your pets....
Dee, Mandurah WA
------------------------------------------
I just want to let you know that I will no longer be needing to house sit...

Good morning Danny,
Just to inform you that we have been successful in obtaining a ''sitting'' position.
A lady in Scarborough (Brisbane) has replied to the add - she has an apartment and a cat to be looked after during our requested period- and it has been confirmed.
Seems, another applicant has let her down- and we certainly fit the Bill.
Please withdraw our add on the web- and thanks for your help and valued assistance.
Best to you Danny,
George and Paula,
New Zealand to Brisbane, Australia
 ------------------------------------------
Hi Danny, the last sitter, whom I could find with your help, was wonderful. We understood each other quite well. She loved the animals and looked good for them. She liked our place so much, that she sitted twice for us, one time in spring and a second time in summer. We had several overlapping days, when we went for long walks together, of course accompanied by the dogs. With her help I found a 4th horse too.
I would like to insert another ad ...
If you could help me another time, it would be great. Thank you in advance,
Greetings, Ruth, Spain

... I found a young lady, who was already in Spain, near where we live. She is German, has good experiences with animals and wants to live in Spain for several months. So house sitting is a good opportunity for her to save the money for the hotels and see different parts of the country.
She came earlier, so we had both the opportunity to know each other, because we lived together for a week. She was friendly, respectful and loved to do the work, which has to be done. She told me, that she is happy, that she can spend several weeks with many animals ...
So, thank you for your help, finding the house sitter.
Best Easter greetings, Ruth, Malaga, Spain
------------------------------------------
Hola, Thanks so much for putting my add in your page, I found a couple that will house sit for me...
I will recommend your services to my friends with pleasure.

I recently returned from a trip where I found a house and pet sitter through your organization. His name was Lee Stanley and he was terrific. He took care of my dog and cat, left the house clean, and was a very nice person (I spent a little time with him before and after the trip). Lots of people had responded to my ad--maybe 15--and I picked him almost arbitrarily. Most people seemed very well qualified....
Anyway, I'm really grateful to you for offering this service. If I can be of help in any way, please let me know.
Barbara, Eureka, California, USA.
------------------------------------------
Hi, Hope you are still doing the house sitting......
I was very pleased with the couple I had last time, but now they've gone to another country.
Can I have another advert with you please?

Just an update... Allen is doing a one month house site currently, then we have another one lined up for when we're back from OS.
Have to say we've been more than pleased with what our $50 got us. The other great thing is that a couple of assignments have actually come by way of referral from people we've already sat for.
Again, thanks for offering this service, it's been great and much, much cheaper than your competitors.

Thanks for your assistance thus far Danny,
We find that we are coming to the end of our house sitting time and we are moving into the market of home ownership in the West.
We have the rest of the year covered and after our Christmas break will settle in the northern suburbs.
It has been a huge experience and a service well worth the money invested.
I reckon we could write a book about it.
Cheers mate;

Have been house sitting rural properties through this site for seven years now and built up many repeat sits through Qld, NSW, Vic and SA - some who plan their breaks around me!
This has been the best thing I've done in 30 years.
Have been all over Australia and met some great people, looked after all sorts of animals though not too keen on spitting llamas!

Currently booked July/August this year near Caboolture and also for next year, April to Sept 2014, 4 months in Pt Augusta, SA and 2 Months near Bendigo Vic ...
Still loving it. Ken, Australia, June 2013

Hi Danny
... In winter I had some real good housesitters.
They were responsible, honest, liked to be with the animals, liked to work on the farm. We had contact per e-mail and per telefone. We still have contact. Next winter they plan to come again and I would like that they come again.
This was a very positive experience...

Hi, Thanks for your assistance in finding someone who would like the life style of rural living with a business incentive in Carlow Rathvilly - the seventy replies I received was more than I could ask for...

We live in Canada and have house sat twice in France and our daughter house sat in Italy for a month one summer.
House Sit World has been a wonderful resource for us. I've looked at other sites, but stuck with HSW because it is clear, concise and free (for both sitters and home owners).
(
we do actually now charge for some areas)
We prefer short term house sitting "jobs", so house sat for three weeks near Carcassonne and for three weeks in Normandy...exploring the Cathar castles in the south and the WWII beaches in the north. Both experiences were wonderful...so interesting and exciting to get to know another culture by living it!
Our daughter house sat in Turin, Italy for a month...living in an apartment, looking after a multitude of cats nearby and sometimes having gelato 3 times a day.
House sitting has been a wonderful way for us to travel and I thank House Sit World for giving us the idea and the opportunities. Our lives have been enriched!
Bev, Canada to France & Italy, Feb 2013

Hi Danny,
We have just confirmed a couple (for sitting in carriage house apartment on 350 acre ranch...)

Hi Danny, Just writing to let you know that we will no longer be available for housesitting. It has been a fantastic journey for us and we will miss it. Unfortunately we have had to come off the road after 22yrs. as the tyres are getting soft, the headlights are dimming and the motor is starting to groan, so we have had to pull into a layby and rest up for a while....
Thanks again for your website, we have made heaps of friends through housesitting and still do the odd one. Hope you continue to do well.
Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year. Regards Pat & Bill, South Australia, Dec 2012
-------------------------------------------
Hi Danny, It's time to take us down from the site as we are booked right through to October 2013.

Just received a nice email from our last house sit
"... words can't express our gratitude for all you have done for us!! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our home and animals over the past 6 weeks! It was so lovely to drive in and see the beautiful flowers and walk into our clean home. We really love the flowers out the back and Isla was so excited to see a little fairy in one of the pots....how special. You have taken such great care and we are so grateful. I'll be in touch in the coming week but I just wanted to let you know we are home safe and very happy for all you have done for our family...
Take care, Debbi and Co xx"

With regards

Currently looking after a delightful dog called Occy whom I'm not sure how I will say farewell to at the end of the housesit. That has been the only downfall of this adventurous year interacting with the animals, ... becoming very attached to them, yet what fond memories!!!!!
My New home that I've been building is due for completion in January, yet I have decided I will still house/pet sit from time to time as I've enjoyed the experience so much...

Hi Danny, just a word about the site and the space it has afforded me.
I've had three sits since March and has budded into a full time 'career'.
I've got a sit for nearly six months here in Canberra and am manoeuvring myself into position to go to Europe at the start of next year.
... Anyway, thanks for such a good site.
In my opinion, it's the best site on the planet for 'house-sitters'.
Best regards....Robin, Canberra, July 2012

Hi Danny
I have now returned from a house-pet sit inland from Bodalla NSW - another amazing place, tucked up in the mountains and valleys. Cosy at night in the mud brick house, with the "firebox" for lovely warmth, and one aged Labrador cuddled up to me on the lounge, satellite TV. Delightful sunny days, with stunning views surrounded by forest, delightfully remote!! They supplied me with a car to explore the area. Such a lovely couple, who went out of their way to make sure I would be happy in their home. More satisfied customers!!
Sigh!! What a life I live -
Regards Gwen, Australia. June 2012
--------------------------------------------
Dear Danny,
Merryn and I have secured sitting contracts that take us up to the end of Sept'.
We have had a number of enquiries which we have needed to reject, so we would like to update our records with you.
The four people we have been approached by are all terrific and we have met to talk about requirements whilst they are away.
The contact is important to make early so that trust can be built up and we have been invited socially by two home owners to learn more about each other.
The thing with pets seems to be the most important factor and the clients want to see how you respond with their pets.
Thanks, S & M, Perth, June 2012

Thanks to the service supplied by you we are now booked up for housesitting until early September. The feedback from our listing with you has taken us by surprise with around 10 inquiries till now most of which are tempting. We have however accepted a job in sunny Atherton and would ask that you now take our name from your list to avoid inconvenience to other home owners.
We will advise when we want new listing.

I had a particularly great housesit at Kilcoy Qld.
I travelled up with a friend [whole trip over 5.000 ks] taking our leisurely time, and visiting new places on the way.
A delightful young couple, [yet to meet owners that are not!] on a property at Sandy Creek, getting into the mountains. An old house, but cosy and comfortable, wood fire and the most glorious views from the verandah. Be it the heavy fogs blanketing us completely, to stunning sunsets. Best day out was spent in the Jimna area, felt like we were on top of the world...
... Now it is time to decide where I will go this year!!! I will see what kind of offers come my way.
I am still redirecting people to your website, and all have been happy with the sitters.

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.

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, we have had 5 calls in the last two days and are now fully booked for 2012....

To house sit is an excellent and inexpensive way to catch up with family and friends throughout Europe. In December 2011 to February this year we cared for a house, pets and garden in Portugal whilst the owners were holidaying in Austria. It was wonderful.

I have been happy with the sitters that I have used. Typically have them come stay on short notice in the spring and fall when the house is not rented. Also for longer periods in the colder winter months.

Due to an overwhelming response to our add placed on your website (for less than a week), we now have nearly 20 offers ? which is truly amazing!! We initially thought the hard part would be finding someone, but it turns out that the hard part will be choosing someone amongst all of the quality applications from your members.
Thank you so much for providing this service - we will highly recommend this to all of our friends and family as sittees(?) and sitters alike. We will definitely be using your service again and again.
Thanks again ?

Hi Danny,
Just letting you know the response we are having from people looking for a reliable housesitter.
Since we placed our profile with you last month we are having 1 or 2 emails or calls a day from people all over the country and also overseas offering to let us housesit for them.
You have a great site that works.
Cheers Angela & Gary, Australia, Jan 2012

Hi Danny, thank you for the service that you provide for both sitters and home owners and their animals.
I've had some wonderful sits over the past two years, made incredible animal friends ( from chickens to speagles to cats to ducks) and it has enabled me to complete training in NZ.
I'm about to renew with you but do you cover NZ as yet?. . .

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.

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.

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

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,

Thank you

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.

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!

. . . just returned from house-sitting in Mareeba, Queensland, Australia taking care of a lovely home and grounds, two greyhounds, a dovecote, and a fishpond.
My house-sitting experience began years ago when I lived on St. Croix, Virgin Islands and is not limited to pet care alone. . . I have since had experience house-sitting all over the world including Kenilworth England . . .

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 . . .

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.

Hi Danny
Could you please remove our listing as we now have another housesit that takes us up until the end of May 2011 when we will be leaving this beautiful Isle. Will take our time to get up to Qld and see what comes along for us.
That is 3 sits for the year in Tassie, very pleased with your great site.
Your site has been very successful over the 5 years we have used it. . . .
Thanks and regards

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,

Hope you are having a good week, and we will continue to spread the word about your excellent service.
Warm regards, Ann.
