Good afternoon,
We have an ad placed on your website for a house sitter, Could you please delete our ad as we have now found sitters.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your service.  We received an overwhelming response, especially since it is for a very long period of time. I have responded to all those who applied and will continue to do so until our ad has been removed. We will certainly use your site again and I have already advised friends and family to check it out for their own time away.
Thank you and kindest regards,

We get so many offers and are kept busy looking after - well you name it and we probably have looked after it - pets of all shapes and sizes. Best part of all though is the fantastic people we have me and developed firm friendships with.
Your House Sit World website is the best and we are so thankful to be able to roam the countryside working while helping home and pet owners take a stress free trip.
Have a good one

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

 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.

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.

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

I will be keeping you on file since my dogs have been happy and I will be doing something similar around the same time next year.

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

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

Many thanks for your service.

Hello House Sit World
Thank you, by using your website we have found our house sitters, thank for providing a straight forward and simple process.
We had more applicants than expected and found the final selection a bit daunting, but by taking our time and following your hints and tips we have come to a comfortable arrangement.
Please remove our advertisement/details from your current listings ... and we will certainly be using your site again in the future.
regards, Sandra & Lionel Tasmania Sept 10

Thanks Danny,

Thanks again..

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,

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,

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
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

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

Hi
, Danny,
I have been inundated with interest already!!! .., so I will definitely get a sitter from the present applications.

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
(sitting for 7 years)

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...

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.

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,

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

Hey Danny
Hope that you & yours have had a very merry Christmas!
We are in Euroa Victoria at the moment caring for a property along with 2 small dogs. We are due to leave here approx 8th January to go back down to Werribee South until early February 2009. Then we are heading back up to Dysart Qld (for family).
After that lot is over, we are due in Flaxton again in May through until November 2009!
We are still getting calls and emails for care-taking etc, so I would ask that you remove ALL our adverts at this stage please.
Hope that you all have a happy, safe & prosperous New Year and look forward to catching up with you sometime in 2009 for that cup of coffee.
Cheers for now, Dawn & Alan, Australia, Dec 08

Roxanne & Alan, New South Wales, Oct 08
------------------------------
Hi Danny
All’s well with the house sitting, still getting a few inquiries off the website though several from  repeat sits and word of mouth referrals.
Have recommended your site to both sitters and people looking for sitters.
Holiday times I tend to get more requests than I can handle and have to decline so I refer them to your site.
Seriously considering retirement in the near future that will allow me to take sits further afield and see more of our lovely country.
Hope you enjoyed your Holliday.
Regards  Ian

Hi Danny,
Thanks for your email! Well things have moved with the speed of lightning since yesterday - two people rang who both sound OK - so I'm going to meet them and see whether we really like each other. So, Danny, would you mind getting my ad off your site for the time being? If it doesn't work out, I'll contact you again.
Thanks again for your most effective website,

Hi Danny
We have found someone locally through your website to housesit our property. Thank you very much for your assistance. I'm sure we will use this service again in the future.

------------------------------
Dear Danny,
Thanks for updating our data as we requested. It looks good. However we have accepted yet another sit in WA that will take us to the end of May 09 so would you now change the SA available date to mid June 09.
The demand in WA is astounding and it is hard to leave when we can get continuous sitting at so many different locations. Most are around, or south of Perth and none any further north which at first was a disappointment for us. Now we have accepted that and settled in to sit where the demand is.
Regards Merv and Rose, West Aust, Sept 08

Lovely talking to you again...
Quite enjoyed the mini-farm at Eumundi though 12 months sit was too long...
It's just amazing how many people are "on the road" permanently but very few actually do house sitting... We've been on the road since 2005 and still have no wish to sit in our rockers... have done lots of exploring and met many lovely people...

Hi Danny, we have a sitter a family from UK, they  have just confirmed, we have used them before and did not know they were coming back to Aus so soon, we will be in touch in the new year, thanks very much, John and Vron, Qld, Sept 08
------------------------------
Hi Danny,
We've been very pleased with our 'investment' in advertising on your site, and have had a couple of good house-sits, and one not-so-good (very dirty and disgusting conditions - but that’s the way it goes, I guess... we should have followed our ‘gut instinct’).
We have a current house-sit booking for the next two months minimum and (if we like it OK) for several months more. So, we're not sure that if we renew the registration, we will actually be able to help folk out. So if it's OK with you, can we just wait and see how we're placed and take it from there?
We appreciate the ad will be removed, but will contact you when and if we need to take out another renewal. Like I said earlier, we've met some nice people, got some excellent references and referrals with their friends, and one couple even phoned us back to see if we could house-sit for them again.
So you've got a great site for people like us, and we wish you well for the future.
Regards Shirley, Brisbane & S/E Qld, Sept 08

Hi Danny:
Thank you for listing our ad. We have received two responses - one of which we have taken up...
We are very impressed with your online service and plan to register ourselves to house-sit when we travel to WA next year for three to four months (we will of course then also be seeking a sitter for our own home - so a double whammy I guess).

This is a great idea for those of us who want to enjoy more of Australia without the expense of high cost accommodation.
Will send more feedback on our return from Tasmania in November.

Please remove our ad for the time being - no doubt we shall be placing another this time next year.
Regards, Steve & Diana, Toowoomba, Qld to Tasmania, Aug 08

Hi Danny, yet again you came up trumps and we found a fantastic lady who sat for us.

Hi Danny,
 Can you please remove me from the site, as my personal circumstances have changed (all good).
I was very happy with the three house sitting roles that your site facilitated for me & would be happy to endorse this if you wanted me to.
Once again, thankyou for all your help over the last 8 months, everything has worked out well.
Kind Regards

Dear Danny
Thanks for taking care of the problem.
I had a wonderful stay in Callan, Ireland. Five weeks of beautiful sites and warm and friendly people. The owner had one cat that spent most of his time on his own outside. Very low maintenance. He put me on his car insurance ( I paid the premium of 75 Euros) and I had his car for the entire time. I drove all along the southeaster and southwestern coasts. What a beautiful country. I cried when I left. It was a wonderful experience.
The owner actually spent time in Ohio, just one hour from where I live! Just serendipity.
What a wonderful way to enjoy life.
Thanks again for your help.
Regards, Margaret, USA to Ireland, July 08

I am currently housesitting a 100 year old small stately home in Clayfield! I did this one last year at about the same time. Hope all is going well. This year I only have one sit so far that I haven't done before. All repeats this year. It looks as though your site is absolutely thriving!

Hi Danny
I have been to 2 great house sits recently, this time a bit closer to home. To Normanville south of Adelaide, a delightful country community though becoming ”touristy”. Enjoyed the beach and old historical sites, and a fun English terrier.
Then to Victor Harbor in a most delightful log cabin, with again some great dogs and a cat.
All houses have been ‘sparking” clean and they have all made sure that I will be comfortable and content.
After my 10 minutes stint on the radio with Peter Goers,
I have been very surprised at how many people who know me, actually heard the interview. I had not realized how widely he was listened to. So much for my moment of fame.
Regards, Gwen, South Australia, June 08
(Gwen recently did a radio interview in Adelaide on her experiences with house sitting - for which we thank her very much ! - Danny)

Good Morning
Thanks for the advert and we did receive 5 enquires of which 3 were excellent. However there has been a change of plans and we no longer require a sitter.

Hi Danny
Very happy with the response I have had from the housesit site.  A couple rang me wanting me to housesit for June and July, no pets, nice house and were incredibly keen to have me so they could travel north for winter.  I told them it wouldn't work because I wouldn't have anywhere to live in August before I go to my own home at the end of August and they said ok we will go away for 3 months.  I move in this weekend and have met them a couple of times now and feel very comfortable.
Thanks for the website

Hi Danny,
Re renewing -
I was starting to feel guilty as you have given us such great service...
By the way - we do a lot of "advertising" for you.
Lots of people we talk to all over Australia are fascinated when we tell them we are housesitting and we often write down your email address and explain that you are one of the cheaper and easiest housesit site to deal with.
Kind regards
Brenda and Julius, Australia, May 08

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the confirmation. We're going great. The site is yielding good results. Have had 3 offers over the last month. Have taken one in Hillary's on the coast. This'll give you the sh...s though. I'm off to the Kimberleys this morning for a fortnight. 4 days guided fishing on the Ord followed by another 10 days fishing with friends up there and general sight seeing. Wish I didn't have to do it.

Recently
finished a 4 month house sit at Gidgegannup. Available for new sits 30 April until 16th May and 24th June to the 22 July 2008. Balance of time occupied with house sits.

Hi Danny
I am currently looking after a house in Neston near Liverpool and a beautiful dog, the guy who owns the place has gone over to Australia.
It has all worked out perfectly as my two daughters are coming to visit me from Ireland and then they are off to Spain.
It is so great to have a bed for more than one or two nights and it has given me a chance to rest a bit. I went to Portugal for a few weeks which was fantastic but I would like to know a bit more of their language next time I go!!!
I will be heading back to Byron in June....
Thanks Danny hope all is great with you
Kind regards, Liz, Australia to Ireland, England, Portugal, May 08

Hi Danny
Thanks for listing my ad. I now have a sitter for this period and so please cancel the ad. I found the sitter through a friend. I responded to many of your ads from sitters, but all were fully booked - it is clearly a busy time for house sitting, and we had not started out search early enough.
Next time I will certainly use your service again but start sooner! I had lots of nice replies from sitters, but none was available.
Many thanks, Nan, Adelaide, May 08
Hi Nan - Many thanks for the feedback, much appreciated! - and glad to hear you found someone, even if not through us - hopefully next time we'll have a few more sitters on board to meet demand....
Hope you have a great trip, Cheers, Danny

------------------------------
I was stunned by the number of people who e-mailed to say they were interested in our ad.
We found a house sitter, she arrived today, we leave tomorrow.
We are very appreciative of the service you provided, Thanks.

Thankyou for your quick response Danny.
 Interestingly I had 2 phone calls just after I accepted the current Stratton job, both for 9 month stints, but had to say no to them unfortunately.
This was a very powerful indicator that the system you have set up works very well.
Thanks for the proactiveness on your part & I will keep in touch with results.

Be a house-sitter
A surprising number of householders worldwide will let you live in their home for nothing while they are away. House-sitting is completely one-way - you don't have to offer yours in exchange - and it is becoming a global phenomenon. Housesitworld.com is the place to go, either to advertise for a sitter or to find somewhere to live rent-free around the globe...

Hi Danny
Yep, We are on the move again!
Have had enough of the Brisbane area, for now at least. We are going up to Dysart via Proserpine (I know that is a round about way of getting there but there is a wedding involved
). We intend to be in that area for a couple of months and then have arranged to care for a property at Montville (which is near Maleny I believe) from 15th June until the end of October  2008.
We are still receiving a lot of enquiries from house-owners.  From some of the later requests it appears as though several have had some nasty experiences in the past. I have advised those people to take extra care when selecting their prospective sitters and to read ALL the suggestions on your web site. If they follow your suggestions then they can't go too far wrong.
Some owners appear to be a bit too embarrassed to pry into the past activities of potential sitters would you believe!
We had intended calling in to say hello to you all on the way through but we will probably be going inland.
Thanks for all your past help!
Will contact you nearer to October or so
Regards, Dawn & Alan, Queensland, Feb 08

Hi

I would have no hesitation using your website again

Many Thanks, Kevin & Fran, Australia, Dec 07

Hi Danny,
 I am sadly back in Oz after a fabulous trip to Europe. The worst adjustment is the heat - from snow and zero degrees, to 31 degrees! Oh.. and I am missing the great food.
 I just wondered if I could change my listing now that I am back in Oz?.........thanks !!
 Have a lovely Christmas and New Year period,
 P.S. Christmas is really a busy period, hey! I must have had about 15 queries for the Christmas/ New Year week alone!
Angela, Brisbane, Dec 07
------------------------------
Hi Danny,
I am really happy to say that I got a sit at West St Kilda. I do want to change my dates......
Kate, Melbourne, Dec 07

Dear Danny,
Thought I would let you know that we have been successful with attaining a house sitter (for
March 08 to end October 08).
They are new people, like us are using your service for the first time. They sound very nice, so we will have to wait and see!
 Regards, Judith & Geoff, Tasmania, Dec 07
------------------------------
Hi Danny
We have had great success with the site and are very happy members.
Thanks for attending to our requests. And promptly too. Another plus for Housesitworld!
Could you please remove the listing for SA since we will not be available there once we finish our current house sit in Adelaide.
Tim & Robyn, Adelaide, Dec 07
------------------------------
Hi there
Please change my ad to read that I am available again from 19 January 2008 onwards.
I am so inundated with enquiries for Christmas, I get two a day. I hope I get the same response for next year. Thanks for your help.
Merry Christmas Danny

Isolde, Tasmania to Brisbane, Dec 07

Hi there,
Just
a quick thanks for doing that for me.
I did do a few houses so once again thank you very much for you time.
Kind Regards, Jody, Brisbane, Feb 08

------------------------------
Hi Danny
So sorry I am not able to help here.
We are in transit on our way to Spain having just finished a 5 month house sit in Adelaide, which was great.
Otherwise I would have helped out willingly.
Cheers, Robyn, Adelaide, Feb 08
------------------------------
Hello Danny,
 I am coming to the end of my first house sitting experience, arranged through your company.
I have loved the opportunity to not only meet a great couple, but enjoy the relaxed suburban home they have...This particular opportunity will end on March 2nd when they return from holiday.
 With this in mind, I would very much like to continue housesitting elsewhere in Perth...
Regards, Andy, New Zealand to Perth, Feb 08

------------------------------
Thanks Danny.
I guess we will be pretty stationary for a while now - We deliberately set out to buy a restoration project and it sure is that.
We will let our membership lapse for this year but are hoping to maybe get something in Darwin over winter 2009 so will reactivate our listing at the beginning of next year.
Thanks for all your support over the period of the great housesit adventure (3 years).
Regards, Richard & Robi

Hi Danny,
...I wish you all the best for the rest of the year.
Isolde's been having a very successful house sit in Ransome, Brisbane. A $1.5m mansion with swimming pool which she keeps clean with constant use. This, however is coming to an end in the near future. She has accepted two short term house sits and an invitation from me for two one month holidays down here in Victoria with me in between the house sits. She will then be looking for another house sit from the 15th of June 2008.
Could you please amend her advert accordingly?
Cheers Neil, Tasmania to Brisbane, Jan 2008

Hi Thanks again for this site, we have found a suitable sitter, so would like our add removed
Thanks again Doug & Fay, Perth, Jan 08

We have just returned from a very enjoyable month House-sitting in Perth and would very much like to repeat the experience next UK winter
.
...It
was wonderful being able to visit our family frequently without being on top of each other and having somewhere to retreat to when we felt the need! We also thoroughly enjoyed looking after a dog again and taking him walking.
Neil and Di, UK to West Australia, Jan 08

We are still enjoying our housesitting journey and are presently housesitting in S-E Queensland...
We have been housesitting for 4 years and are experienced in many types of homes, large and small rural properties, caravan parks and hotels.  
... We love the challenge of new experiences and expanding our housesitting assignments. We have many repeat assignments and have made lots of friends around Australia.
Bev & Alan, Australia, Jan 08

Hi Danny,
Your site really works well, I had so many responses and found now the right couple to look after our house. Thanks again.

Dear Danny, thanks for your email.
Unfortunately we aren't in a position to renew at this point in time because I am still caring for my elderly mother. Disappointed as we are, we are not in a position to commit ourselves to definite dates & would hate to let anyone down.
We have already had to refuse return housesits who have contacted us by phone.
Can we renew at a later date when we are in a position to commit ourselves to bookings?
We have really enjoyed our housesitting & are very disappointed to have to call a halt albeit a temporary one.
Regards Graham & Christine, Australia, Jan 08

------------------------------
Hi Danny,
Thank you for your prompt reply, we are currently doing a H/sit Sth Coast NSW.
Will
organise a cheque and forward on to you for my renewal.
Happy New Year to you
thanking you for your services.
Kind Regards Nancy, East coast Aust, Jan 08

Hi Danny
I had a lot of feed back and I found a very nice person for the sit.... I certainly want to repeat for next winter.

Sitter wanted feedback -
Many responses thanks....
Jeff, San Francisco, USA, Jan 08

Hi, I thought that I should give some feedback on my house/pet sit this October. I spent the month of October house/pet sitting for a couple who have a beautiful log home on the banks of the Gallatin River in the Gallatin Valley, South West Montana. Using Housesitworld the owners contacted me in April asking if I would be prepared to look after their three small dogs for the month of October. Having spent last autumn in the Madison Valley I knew the area very well and had been impressed by its beauty and the wonderful fly fishing that is to be had there.
We exchanged emails, I provided several references, although this was my first house/pet sitting experience, the references were from 
professional friend and colleagues across Europe, the USA and Canada.
The owners collected me from Bozeman Airport on the 5th October and drove me out to their home. That evening we had dinner with a group 
of friends at a local bar and grill and the evening was just great. They were just so generous and kind to me and so pleased that I had come out to  look after the dogs - three small white fluffy dogs, 
which were great fun and really very easy to care for.  I was able to catch up with old friends, see some of the beautiful countryside and mountains, and fish almost everyday in the most wonderful scenery and catch some stunning trout - Rainbows and Cutbows to 17", Cutthroats to 12" and some amazing Brown Trout to 21".
I went over to the Paradise Valley to meet with a couple who emailed me about housesitting the winter for them. This year I couldn't really do it, but may do so in the future. I will certainly return at some time next year.

Thank you, Housesitworld for making this possible.
John, London to Montana USA, Dec 07

Hi, we have a standing advert with you "sitters wanted" England/Devon but we are now all booked up for 2008. Could you possibly put a note on the ad to that effect? It will save a lot of peoples time and make your ads even more efficient!!
Many thanks and Happy Christmas.
Philip, Devon, England, Dec 07

------------------------------
Hey there Danny,
just a note to let you know how the sitting has gone since I first enrolled on your site...this is now the third year that I advertised with you.
I am really pleased with the people that I have connected with. In all honesty the last ones in October this year weren't up to the usual standard, but even so, it was probably more from the  comparison to the exceptional care others have offered my property and animals thus far. My animals were alive and well, and the house was not vandalised... so I shouldn't complain huh !
The truth is that for the most part we want our homes occupied while we are away, and the animals allowed to relax in their routines and in their own environment. In the past the sitters have gone above and beyond the call....
It has been my good fortune to usually find people who love and enjoy being around animals, and have a high sense of respect for another persons home.... this is the calibre of the people who use your site.
And yes, I am planning my next trips for 2008... something to hold onto when the snow is knee deep .... so I will be knocking on your email door again a few months from now seeking people interested in sharing the SE Colorado experience. It is neat that fellow Kiwis, Aussies and American couples have so far been entertained by a small rural high plains life style.
Thanks also D. for your support and assistance in getting me out of Dodge for my runarounds....
 you personalise the site with your help and care... but you know that huh ! Cos I've done told you before !!! :)
Till later, Merry Christmas Danny and Andrea,
Saylestates, Gillian.

Hi, We have really enjoyed being on housesit world and tell all our friends about it. We have been offered some lovely sits but most were when we were in Cyprus. We won't be able to renew next year as we have lots of hols planned as well as bowling in Cyprus. We may try again in 2009.
Thank you for the wonderful service and for keeping in touch.

Hi Danny, Bev here, wanting to list for house sitting again. We had a sit in France last year which, though it wasn't quite what we expected, was a great experience so we'd like to see other countries now
Thanks for your site
Bev, Australia to France, Dec 07

------------------------------
Hi Danny,
Yes, your service was great! Actually, I composed the ad back in Sept looking for someone to stay with our dogs when we were away in November.
I actually got 55 responses from your site (20 from another). It was great.
I have used (housesitting services) since 2004 to find wonderful house and dog sitters for our houses in two different states. I think the structure of allowing home owners to post ads for free is a great incentive (compared to other websites).
I know I will continue to use this site for many years. Great job!
 Emily, Florida, USA, Dec 07
------------------------------
I just wanted to let you know about my house sits. I have sat at a few houses, Berkeley, Ashtonfield, Wolumla, Hervey Bay and I have a lot more to do over the next year.
All the people that I have met have been absolutely wonderful and so kind, I have never had any bad experiences in all the time I have been doing house sitting.
It is the most awesome way to see Australia and I don't have a problem with doing it all by public transport.
I thank you for your great service because without your site I wouldn't of been having a ball.
I am totally booked out until November 2008.
Regards Shirley

Hi! Danny, trust is all well in Gympie
sorry to be a pain but we need to cancel our sitting ad. as we fell in love with Noosa, had 10 months here, 7 weeks in the motor home and have been blessed with another 2 years here on the sunshine coast at Noosa, so what more could 2 pensioners want?
thankyou so much for this service that has allowed us to be spoilt in mansions that most people on low incomes only dream of, I would never have dreamed that your site took us on such a wonderful journey.
We have met so many people who have become friends and can't help but tell them all to join.
Best wishes, Lynn, Merv. and Jethro,
Tasmania to Noosa, Nov 07

Hi Danny,
 We have finally decided to settle down and have bought a house in Nambour.  We won't be able to move in until the end of March, hence the changes to our listing.  Many thanks for all you have done and the great service we have had from Housesitworld.  We have not been without a housesit for the whole three years we have been doing this.  We will let out subscription lapse when it falls due in February but I feel it won't be too long before we want to be off again on more adventures and so you will hear from us again.
Kind regards,
Richard & Robi, Queensland, Oct 07

We are heading to Denver Colorado for a three month house sit on Monday.
We would like to request that you suspend our ads for this time ....
On our return we will advise when and what to advertise, for we are now booked out until September 2009 ....
Regards, Thelma & Alan, Aust and USA, Sept 07

Hi Danny
A delayed thanks from me!
I am currently looking after a beautiful country house full of beautiful artwork and a leather couch with real zebra skin cushions.
Pets include a really nice dog and two tanks of lizards. I had to put live crickets into the tanks last week - not a task I particularly enjoyed. But it was fun watching one of the big lizards rushing around and catching the crickets - the lizard was so fat the next day that it looked as though it was about to explode!
Clare, Brisbane, Sept 07

Hi Danny
thanks a lot, I appreciate your efforts and am grateful to have found a house sitter through your web site.
Cheers, Fiona, West Australia, Sept 07

Hi Danny
Well it has come around time to change things (dates & areas) once more!
(Shouldn't complain though eh?)
At present we are at Eugowra NSW (Near Parkes). We are caring for a small sheep property here whilst the owners are up the gulf doing a bit of fishing and rental house maintenance etc. We will be here until the 24th October 2007.
We have just accepted another "sit" at Kiama NSW for the period 26th October 2007 thru to early March 2008...
This will suit us just fine as we were wondering just what to do for Xmas!
We are getting enquiries for mid 2008 already...
Hope that this finds you and yours all well and happy. regards to everyone in your area.
Dawn & Alan, Australia, Sept 07
------------------------------
Hi Danny
thanks for that (updating availability). Yes we really enjoy our house sit here in Babinda.
the 50 $ are already worth it.

Well Danny your company has done it again. I have had a real problem deciding who to employ as a house sitter, as there were so many replies.

Best Regards Kevin & Fran, Australia, June 07

Just at the moment, I'm still dealing with "valued customers" that I got from you at about this time last year. I'll get back to you when I need a listing - probably after Easter.
Some great friendships made  from contacts through housesitworld, then word-of-mouth put me onto more sits than I could handle. I have referred both owners and would be sitters to your site - as the "best in the business".
Recently back from NZ where I did farm job for homesit-christchurch. Similarly, excellent folk to work with.

Feedback for you (feel free to use this)... I have been a member of Housesitworld now for six months and I cannot recommend the site highly
enough.  Their service is first class - they respond to queries and requests quickly and cheerfully and what's more I have been overwhelmed with the amount of queries I have received through them.
I have secured five wonderful house sits through Housesitworld including one house sit for 8 months.  If you want to secure quality house sits you just have to be on this site!

Hi Danny,
Your
site is really working well.  We are getting at least 1 call (or email) per day! Sometimes 2 or 3!

Don't let (Competitor) ruin it for you by copying and pasting each one of your postings on to their forum

Hello Danny,
After finding your website last year we took on house and animal sitters for the first time - Lynne & Mike who had advertised on your site - for an expedition we completed Jan - Mar this year. I must say the experience was a very positive one. It was good to read their ad and then exchange e-mails, but most importantly we met up before any final decision was made. While we were away our house and 'family' were well looked after and we kept in touch with the couple via e-mail and satellite phone.
     Although I had been worried beforehand I would now recommend your website and the house-sitters experience to any/all of my friends and, indeed, have already done so.
With regard to our 'sitter wanted' ad., we received no responses for ages and have now received 3 in the last few days. Is there a saying about buses springing to mind?!
     Although we have now made alternative arrangements for August, I feel sure we will find someone via your website for September.

Housesitworld is a great site enabling many people to fulfil their dreams of travelling.
Many thanks, Karen,
Wales, UK, June 07

I would like to housesit in locations around the world... While housesitting, I enjoy fitting into the community - joining the gym, going to local functions, exploring the culture of the area, eating foods of the region, exploring the area and making new friends.
Some of my housesits are:  New Jersey- ( 2 sits) -  looking after 2 horses, dogs and cats.
- Vancouver - looking after a dog - Happy and
Lila a cat.
- Eugene, Oregon - looking after Ottis, a dog.
Toronto - looking after Charlie, a dog and Ollie a cat and doing gardening for the owners.

Just to let you know that we don't need to housesit in Brisbane anymore as we are now living in Brisbane. However, is it possible to change our advert to ask for shorter housesit possibilities in Sydney or Canberra as we have not yet reached the end of our year's subscription.
I just want to say that I have had a number of
enquiries about us housesitting.  We didn't use any of them because the ones that came up whilst we were wanting housesits weren't suitable.  A couple since have been but we are now fixed up.
So your service is really good and I am sure if we had still been looking we would have found something in Brisbane.  So thank you.
Please can you let me know if I can change the
housesitting ad to Sydney or Canberra for the rest of the subscription.
Best wishes.
Janet, Sydney to Brisbane, May 07
(Certainly can - as many areas as you like for the original registration - Danny)

Many thanks Danny
Not enough weeks in the year to fulfil all of the requests. We have had many direct contacts and have had great pleasure in being of help to some lovely people. Several with illness looking for a break while they are still able. Have just turned down a request from Fiji thru your site due to some inconsistencies, which has resulted in our earlier availability.

Hi Danny
Thank you so much for your prompt and personal reply, that really means a lot to us.
What has set you ahead of other services is that the new ads go in at the top. This is a major bonus as everyone gets a turn at the top. This has been a bugbear with me with other services. I am thrilled to be having my turn at the top, thank you. And also thank you for not editing as I thought may have to happen, I really appreciate it.

G’day Danny

Would you please delete our ads for the time being as we are fully booked out for our available time just now.

We have had good success with three house-sits between end Nov and early April.

At the moment we are looking after a lovely property in 16 hectares of rainforest near Byron Bay, some nice animals to look after, our caravan parked in the yard by the house, large deck overlooking a billabong, lots of fruit trees, quad bike to play with…want to come?

Next month we move to a nice 5 acre property in the Brisbane Valley and the owners get back the day before we fly out to the UK for our 6 monthly exile, and would you believe the house is only 5 mins from where we will store our caravan whilst we are abroad.

We will be available for house-sitting again at end of the year en route from Cairns to Melbourne so will get in touch mid-year to set up our next ads.

Interesting how late people seem to leave their search for house-sitters.

Best regards from Peter and Carole temporarily in a rainforest paradise.

Hello Danny,
thanks for the note.
Just packing to go ski-ing tomorrow and - yes, the sitters are Australians from your site!
We use approx 4-5 sitting couples each year, most provided by your site, usually Australians. They are happy to drive on our roads (Americans not
so). We tend to go for couples 50+ who are on the Big Tour (kids left home etc.)
Best Regards, Philip, Devon, England, Feb 07

Last year my house sit at Hervey bay - was really great. A townhouse 5 min from the beach. Was a wonderful experience.
With permission of the owner, my sister joined me there for a few weeks, so was an added bonus.
It is hard to stay at home - if it wasn't for my little grand children - I would be away much more of the time.

Hey there Danny,
Could you please make the attached changes to our advert & place it in the relevant states. thanks.
At present we are caring for a vineyard in the Yarra Valley near Melbourne whilst the owners are in Canada for a break.....
We have been in the Clare valley wine area and also the McClarenvale area in the past 7 months!  (Unlucky that I don't drink! though Dawn likes the occasional glass of wine).
Getting a lot of requests from people that want us to "sit" for from 5-7 days up to 2 weeks lately. (maybe they can't afford to take longer holidays these days?)
Still giving you lots of free advertising and actually had some cards printed out with your web site details on them as I was getting that many enquiries from people, especially in some of the smaller towns and places that we tend to sit in. (Must be working as we are still sitting! and I have gone through all the cards!....
We must be nearly due for another sub? Let us know & I will "fix it up"....
Cheers for now
Dawn & Alan, Australia, Jan 07

I am writing to you, to ask you to cancel my subscription to Housesitworld for at least the 2007.  Last May I 'busted' my knee, and haven't been able to do very much since.

Please rest assured, that as soon as I am able, I will be back in touch with you.
Once again, all the very best. You have a great service to people who love to travel.

Dear Danny
It is with much pleasure that I write to you on behalf of my wife Rita and myself to sincerely thank you for the great service provided by your company.
It seems an eternity ago that I found your website, and with some trepidation, registered our details, with the hope that we would be able to get some house sitting on the Sunshine Coast, whilst our new home was under construction at nearby Bli Bli.
Briefly we have been registered on your site for over 12 months now and the longest time we were out of a house sit was 12 days, indeed on a number of occasions we went straight from one sit to the other.
Friends of ours from Canberra have also registered on your site and similarly they have been sitting continuously also. It is refreshing and extremely satisfying to be associated with such a cooperative and efficient company in this day and age where service seems to be a forgotten word.
As of today we commence what will be our final sit and I would ask you to remove our details ... from the site.
Finally thanks again for the cheerful and efficient manner in which you conduct your business, I am sure it will continue to grow and provide many house sit opportunities to all who register with you.
Yours sincerely, Tony & Rita, Sunshine Coast, Australia, Nov 06

(Thankyou Tony and Rita, for taking the time to send the above - extremely pleasing to Andrea and myself and much appreciated. That's certainly the sort of experience we would wish for all our clients and really does make it all worthwhile - We wish you all the best for your new home on the Sunshine Coast, a really nice area to visit or live! - Danny)

Thankyou Danny for your help in finding a house-sitter.  We have found a couple who we believe will be very suitable - thanks to the advertisement on your web site! - they phoned within 24 hours of your help!  Keep up the good work!
Win, Toowoomba, Nov 06

Hi Danny
Thanks for the email.  I need for you to remove my "wanted" details. I have found a sitter who is able to do the sit. I found them through your site,
 . . . I was very impressed at how quickly this has happened. Thank you so much for providing such a great service. I have dealt with other home sitting services but yours is by far the best.
Regards, Debbie, Canberra, Sept 06
------------------------------
thanks again...I've just got my 2nd house-sit so going well.
cheers, Dave, Perth, Sept 06

Thanks so much
Innes and Linda, Australia, Sept 06

Fully booked until end November - had a very good response and making a lot of friends as well. Disappointing to have to knock people back.
Have enjoyed spending the winter in the warm!
Murdoch & Helen, Melbourne to Qld, Sept 06
------------------------------
Hi Danny,
Thanks for your (as usual) prompt action.
I thought it best to note we have had three contracts, to show prospective home owners that we are experienced.
The house sit at Samford was brilliant. We loved it there and enjoyed looking after their cat. The owners were very happy with the way we looked
after their property.
Our house is now well on the way with the frame up and the roof on. The brick work should start next week. It is looking very good.
Regards, Bob, Brisbane, Sept 06

Yes, please Danny, renew again. Thanks for reminding us. The ad can stay the same for the time being.

Hi Danny,
 I have decided to have a break from housesitting for a while. I am very grateful to have been able to save some money doing this work. I have saved about $5000 doing this current sit, so thank you for the opportunity to be listed on your site.

Bev & Alan, Australia - United kingdom, Aug  06

We
have had an excellent response from your site: enough sitters not only to meet our current needs, but a shortlist for future occasions.
Your site offers all that we need to know for our security and we will certainly make use of it again. We were contacted by more than 100 potential sitters, most of whom appeared to be entirely suitable. We have been very happy with those whom we selected and have established
longer-term contact with them.
Well done!

Hi Danny
Could you take my name off the site? I'm about to start renting a property with a friend and no longer need to house sit.
Thanks for providing this service, it's really great. I've recommended it to quite a few people.
Olivia, Melbourne, July 06

Hi Danny,
Just a quick note to let you know how we have fared with our house-sitting program.  Our house sold with a long settlement however the new house we are building has only just commenced.  We had the option of renting but decided to try our hand at house sitting.
We start our first sit tomorrow and with two more sits after that, we are booked up to October 11.  Hopefully we will get one or two more to take us
through to the completion of our house.
I must say that the three couples we are sitting for are extremely nice.
Everything is going perfectly so far.
Regards, Bob & Heather, Brisbane, July 06
------------------------------
Thank you for your help and your site. This is to advise that we now have a sitter.

Hi Danny
I receive several emails a week and phone calls making requests for housesitting. Seems to be a lot of people out there, looking for suitable sitters. Still hoping for another Qld offer.
Earlier this year Choice magazine asked readers to tell about housesitting experiences, so I sent off an email where I passionately spoke about my experiences, and giving a "plug" for your website
Regards, Gwen, Australia, June 06
------------------------------
Hi there
I would just like to update my details to show that I am available for house-sitting from early August 2006 onwards please?
I have referred another friend to you who may contact you soon - My other friend (named) will probably be taking her details off there soon as she's just bought herself a house (thanks to housesitting). :-)
Cheers & thanks for continuing to provide a great service!
Sharon, Adelaide, June '06

Thankyou, but I now have a sitter for the period that we were after.
Excellent website, thankyou very much!

Hello Danny
Thank you for your courtesy and assistance.  I have received many requests for housesitting in Tasmania especially for during the winter months.  I have enjoyed the experience of  housesitting.
Thank you, Diane, Tasmania, July 06
------------------------------
Hi could you please amend my details and inform people that I am currently house-sitting on the Sunshine Coast until the end of August, as I've had several calls asking me and I can't help them.
Thanks, Laura, UK to Australia, July 06
------------------------------
Hi Danny
Just thought I'd drop a line to let you know you can delete our names from your list as we will be housesitting in SA until the middle of December. We received a lot of replies to our advt. . . .
Many thanks to your service we have become email and telephone friends to some of them.
Regards, Myra & Ted, New Zealand to South Aust, July 06

Dear Danny
Am very impressed with your service!
Had a reply almost instantly from an Australian girl who fits the bill perfectly and met her last night. So I'm sorted.

Hi Danny,
Wondering if you could be so kind as to move us back up to the top again - we are just about to leave Toowoomba after a six month sit and actually haven't been home for over 9 months.  Can't imagine we will be too keen on staying home for very long.
We are still regularly getting offers but get more when on top - I suppose we are getting a bit more picky in our old age.
Kind regards
Brenda and Julius

------------------------------
We are returning to our own home in Canberra after 27 months of house sitting.
We have appreciated your service to us and will continue our membership, but will be utilising it for holiday sits only. We will continue to mention your website to all and sundry who have been fascinated by the fact that we have had such a great time looking after 11 homes large and small all over Sydney. It has been a great experience.
Warm regards
Ian & Roslyn, Sydney, July 06

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

Danny,
Our
response was two fold.  I spoke to people I could tell right away were not right for me.
Then there were many that were absolutely perfect for me.
Our need, we discovered was more of a caretaker than housesitter, and we have one right now that is perfect - except he wants to travel some.  But I have names and addresses of others I will contact from time to time.
I will definitely advertise again, if the need arrives, and I know it will.
So my experience was definitely positive, I will speak highly of you and this service!
I thank you very much,
Laura, Ireland, June 06

Hi Danny
Thanks for the good wishes. We already have our first "assignment" petsitting an aged burmese cat called Pharoh who lives in a seven bedroom
Victorian villa in Southport for December and January.  We are so excited.
Many thanks for looking after us.
Cheers Lynne & Mike, Australia- England June 06

I used your service last year for h/s in Sydney. Met a wonderful family with dog. I enjoyed my stay, they appreciated having a responsible person.
I will be looking after their home and dog again this year!
Anne, USA to Sydney / Adelaide, June 06

Dear Danny
Many thanks for sending the email regarding renewal. I couldn't remember exactly when I had signed on so was glad to receive your email. I am now fully booked up for house sits until December 11th 2006 which is really good, so what I would like to do is sign up again in about October which will be when people will be starting to think of their Christmas holiday plans! I am currently out at Samford where I have been doing two house sits in a row and am on to my second.
I
notice that you now seem to have more experienced house sitters than ever before listed on the site (at least for Brisbane). It would be really interesting to know how long people generally continue with house sitting. As for myself - my plans are to continue indefinitely. It is a lifestyle that I find very much suits me and I love it. Thank you for your great site and I will be in contact again in October.
Clare, Brisbane, June 06

Please remove our Sitter wanted ad. The couple we found through your site two years ago, has agreed to housesit for us again!

Hi Danny,
This listing has been very successful for me.
Unfortunately I couldn't accept all the lovely offers
I have had.
I have a housesit in Australind for the next four
months, that's why I thought it would be better to
change the ad. It's just that I keep getting offers and have to knock them back.
Cheers, Anne, West Australia, May '06

Hi Danny

We have been very fortunate in finding a lovely couple to house sit for us. It was difficult choosing as we had 3 interested parties. Please take our advertisement off as we do not need any more applicants at this stage. We will certainly use you again when we go travelling again.
Thanks for a great website

Hi Danny
I actually passed through Gympie Friday evening and thought of you!! Had to rush though as I was going to my housesit at Pimpama and was expected Friday evening!! Found the drive into Bris a bit horrific after Mackay- Mulgildie- Monto!!
I will be passing through Gympie again in July as I'm going back to farmsit at Mulgildie - the Nebo people have bought a property there. Much smaller lawn - about 1400 acres!!! I would like to entertain you with my stories - all good!!
Take care - I reckon I've had some of the best times of my life housesitting.
Cheers, Keith, Australia, May 06

G'day Danny
Thanks to Housesitworld, I'm now booked up until mid July. Two sits - first near Maryborough and then, closer to home, north of Caboolture - both on acreage/farms.
Given this happy state of affairs, it might be a good idea to take me off the list for awhile, rather than frustrate the people looking for sitters.
The response has been terrific and, even at this time, I am getting people phoning about later in the year - like August. For now, however, I'd prefer to get these couple of placements looked after, before I make any further promises.
Thanks for your help and efficiency

Thank you for the reminder - I knew it must be sometime soon. I will renew  - I did have a great time last year. Choosing to go to places of interest to me. Met some delightful people, who were very appreciative of their home and pets being well cared for. I turned down numerous offers, and can see a person could easily spend the whole year living in other houses. I visited many places new to me. So great.
I
have told many people about your site, and how it works.
Gratefully, Gwen, South Australia, Mar '06

Hi Danny

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to see new places and meet new people.
Regards, Pam, Queensland, Mar '06

Good
evening Danny;
 thanks for your email .. you have a great service going there and it is one of the best (and easiest to navigate) web sites I've come across.  I've already had a couple of replies and will let you know when I've settled on someone, and I'm more than happy to recommend your service to anyone who needs it.
For now, my thanks again for this excellent service.
all the best from Kim, Maleny, Aust. Feb '06

Change in details required as
Fully booked until 30/6/06

Dear Danny,
    I have a housesitter thank you.
I received a email from a couple about to embark on housesitting an needing reassurance.  I was able to pass on a fair bit of acquired knowledge having contacted sitters and finding them very busy and unable to come to my house for some time. There are a lot of very contented people out there.  The person I have coming is young, I would  normally choose an older person but this one comes with a lot of experience and good refs.
Keep up the good work.
Sally, Wagga, NSW, Jan '06
-------------------------------
Thanks for your help!...the site is working well, as I am getting lots of responses and opportunities to housesit. Keep up the good work.
Cheers, Maryann, Queensland, Jan '06
-------------------------------
Dear Danny,
Thanks for your letter, we will not be renewing our registration this time, we are on our way back
home to Adelaide after having a terrific year with housesitting, Great houses at Caloundra and 2 in
Brisbane . . .
Many thanks for your help.
Sincerely, Maureen, Queensland, Jan '06
-------------------------------
Hello, I registered with you a while ago (as a housesitter) and need to remove my info as I am fully booked until I move into my house.
Many thanks, Julie, Perth, Jan '06

-------------------------------
Hi Danny
Would just like to say that being listed has exceeded all our expectations.
We have been receiving, on average, three requests a day.  Amazing.
All the best
Judith and David, Australia, Jan '06

(We wish everyone could be this fortunate - their secret? gain experience as a sitter, then include in their listing the number of sits they have completed - creates a snow ball effect of success breeding success - Danny)
-------------------------------
I am delighted with the outcome of your house sitting website so far. Fingers crossed we will get
another month's worth.
Cheers Hannah, Sydney, Jan '06
 
Hi Danny,

Would you please suspend our ad?  We are now booked up till October 2006 and it would save a lot of unnecessary emails and disappointments to those requiring house sitters.......but we will be back advertising in the new year for we want to go to Canada to house sit.
Thanks Thelma and Alan, Nov 2005

Dear Danny, thanks for your email reminding us that our renewal is due. What a quick year! Sorry for the delay but we were away, yes you've guessed on a housesit!!!!!  Can we use the existing entry in "sitter available" & just send renewal fees.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good Morning Danny,
Have found a sitter through your service within a week, Thanks it is a great service. Could you please remove the add today so the e-mails stop, I've had about 8 enquiries.
Thanks again. Geoff, Queensland, July '05
-------------------------------
Hi Danny, thank you for your prompt reply to my email. Also I would like to add some feedback as to the pleasure we have enjoyed from house sits through your listings, Have met some lovely folk one lot of people come Xmas it will be the 4th sit we have done for them, we have lots of on going bookings coming up, I commend you on the way you run house sit world listings. Kind regards Nancy & Harry, Australia, July '05
-------------------------------
Thank you for your help.  You could probably remove my advert as I have had five hits and feel confident I'll get one from these lovely people.
You are running a very helpful service.  I began by trying 'Housesitters' but they provide you with a list of possibles and you have to contact them
yourself.  I had done much phoning etc with very little luck and was actually let down by people who had agreed to come!!
Your method of letting us insert a factual advert means people can contact you only if they are actually interested and able.
Thank you. Fiona, Coffs Harbour, NSW July '05

All going well Danny. Have done 2 Farms Maleny

Hi Raynel, I do need to let you know. I connected to Housesitworld last year looking for a house sit in France. My colleague and I got the most amazing housesit, I have just returned and am going back again next year, hence I need a sitter here...  I also got a sitter here, he was fine though because of his sitting commitments he couldn't come till the day before I left...that was too sort a time to get all the information to him that I expected of him...I knew I had friends/neighbours backing up so nothing major happened as result.. except for the phone being cut off because he didn't attend to the mail. In France we had the family coming and going so we were able to understand our role.. I did have more skills than they had expected so they were very happy. Hence my return..  I have recommended
housesitworld to a lot of people...
Thank you for your excellent service..
I have replied to a couple in UK who have mentioned Aust as a possible destination for them.... Aust is easy to sell its half the price....
a tout a l'heur..
Sally, Australia to France, July '05

Thank you, Judy & Harry, Victoria, May '05

Hi Danny
We were thrilled to receive a reply to our ad for housesitting a couple of weeks ago and now have a two week sit in Wales which sounds absolutely
wonderful - the couple concerned are so friendly and we are really looking forward to it.
Many thanks - even if we only get one sit it more than compensates for the joining fee!

Gooday Danny,
Thank you for doing the paperwork.
We have had some good offers. We are looking at a 6 month sit in Sydney.
I think I should have done this years ago.
Ron, Australia, April '05
Hi Danny
Thanks for changing details.
Am definitely getting somewhere, have had to turn down 4 housesitting offers in the last 2 days.
Has been certainly fun so far.
Cheers Klara Perth April '05
Thanks Danny
I was able to obtain a sitter through one of your advertisers so I will not be needing the "wanted" ad after all - thank you anyway
Stuart, Queensland, April, '05
Hi Danny,
Just letting you know that our ad has worked and we have a house sitting agreement in August.
Rather than change details, would you please remove our ad until we need it again, (probably after September)
Your site really works!
Thanks, Richard and Diana, Adelaide, April '05
Hi Danny,
Thanks for the renewal reminder - the year sure has flown by.  I think my renewal notice is self explanatory - keep it the same as it was.
This is one bill I am quite happy to pay - excellent service and definitely great value for money.
Cheers, Brenda and Julius, Queensland April '05
Dear Danny
I've just sent off the renewal of our registration.
Due to your site we are currently enjoying a great house in Hobart!
Many thanks!
Peter & Joy, Tasmania, April '05
Hello housesitworld.    I have recently returned from my first house minding and pet caring experience on a farmlet at Maleny.  It was a wonderful holiday for hubby and I as we were surrounded by beautiful countryside, we were kept occupied by the pets and garden. The owners were really nice people and have asked us back.
My best wishes. Alice, Queensland, March '05
Hello and many thanks for your wonderful service.  I found a fabulous sitter within a week and received about 5 phone calls.
Thanking you again, and I will tell all my friends about you, and use you whenever I go away
Kind regards, Anne-Marie, Sydney, March '05
Dear Danny and Staff
I have been having a fabulous response and am booked up till end of June.
Thank you for a great service.

Dear Danny,

I was quite astonished to get a phone call today requesting a house sit in Tasmania, which I accepted. Their first time use and my first time
registering my name. Considering that I only sent the email to register Saturday evening. Amazing.

Dear Danny,
Thanks for the service, we have found some great houses to sit and made new good friends.
Kind regards, Walter and Elly, Australia, Feb 05
We have had tremendous success with the oz site, being inundated with requests. some we have taken up, to our great enjoyment (and thankfully the enjoyment of home owners and pets alike!) others we have had to turn down due to inconvenient dates, but we always leave the door open for next time!
this is a great site and good value for money!
Jack & Jill J. - Australia, Feb 05
Thanks for the opportunities you have provided me.  While I was house sitting early last year, I was able to save enough for my deposit and purchased my new home in June last year.  I will be keeping you in mind if the need arises again.
Thanks, Lisa, Brisbane, Feb '05
Dear Danny,
Thank you for listing our property. We had several replies, all from credible people who would no doubt have made excellent sitters. We have now
selected a couple, so please delete our details. Your service has been excellent.
We wish you well.
Rev Jim Houston OAM, Melbourne, Feb '05
Dear Danny,
It is through your site that we have found our housesit. I decided to start checking each day and found a new  ad on Monday. I replied straight away. The owners replied saying they'd had a few replies and would let us know within a couple of weeks. They rang on Thursday to say they had chosen us if we could meet some of their requirements. The sit seems just right for us and is a long one so we won't have to be on the move. We don't arrive in Perth until April but are leaving home in a few weeks so are really pleased to have a sit arranged before we leave. The house is about 1/2 hr drive from two friends we have in Perth (that's nothing to us living up here) so it is ideal.
(April - Nov 2005)
Thanks again. We'll be recommending your site to others and will probably use it in the future for shorter holidays.
Sallyanne, Qld to Perth, Jan '05
Hi, could you please remove our add for a housesitter. We have found a sitter & in fact received 6-8 requests.
Thankyou for providing a great web site. We have learnt so much from the info you have provided.
Look forward to using it again
Best wishes, Greg & Lyn, Victoria, Jan '05

Hi Danny, your system is too good,

Dear Danny,
Would you please suspend our listing online until further notice. We do not currently need any further requests.  We will contact you when our situation changes.
Many thanks, Ron & Bev, Australia, Jan '05
Dear Danny,
Thank you for putting our ad for a house sitter on the Net on 10 January 2005.  Within 24 hours we had two offers, both quite suitable.  Today, 13
January, we have accepted one and sent a thank you acknowledgement e-mail to the other, suggesting that they advertise through you.
We are really impressed with your service and will certainly tell our friends about it.
Yours sincerely, Tom & Margaret, Perth, Jan '05
We need sitter(s) for our next trip away.
We've had 5-6 couples from Australia/NZ etc. and always had good ones.

Hi Danny
must be getting more hits than you thought !!
Had another call this morning, People from near Tamworth NSW. Want us to house sit 15 Feb to 6th April 2005. As we have the Qld sit to cover from a bit later in April until towards end of June will need to alter dates again!
THIS IS NOT GOING TO LET YOU OUT OF THE COFFEE OFFER!
Take care
See you on the way through in February (It may be January as they have asked if we wanted to come for the festival in Tamworth.)
Oh dear!, Gees it really is a hard life out here!!
Kindest Regards
Alan & Dawn, Australia, Jan 2005
Just for a quick feedback... we used your site in 2003 when we had 6 months leave from teaching in Oz.  Had three great housesits ( saving us over 2
months of U.K. and Europe accommodation) and met terrific people. We were even offered a fourth but could not fit it in.  Hope we have as much luck
this time. We have recommended your service and hardly stopped talking about our 2003 experience in 2004.. think our friends probably saw us coming in the end!!!
A marvellous website.. fantastic idea.

Hi there, I will have to wish you a belated happy Christmas and a great New Year. I am still getting heaps of offers. Can you please amend my details as I'm unavailable until late June 2005 when I finish in Tassy. Hoping for somewhere north after that!!  Have had offers from Broome - Margaret River - near Cloncurry just to mention a few!!
At least 20 I couldn't accept!!
Hope life is going well for you both - have good memories of my stopover in Gympie!!
Cheers for now, Keith, Australia, Dec '04

We have successfully used this site to obtain house-sitting "jobs" over the past 18 months.
We have "house-sat" homes and pets in NSW, VIC & TAS and we have received requests to return to these "sits" when the owners take their next break.
We are now fully committed until Late November 2005. Thank you for all your support.
Russell & Lorraine, Australia, Dec '04
We have just come back from a wonderful month in the midi-Pyrenees, looking after two gorgeous dogs which we took for regular long walks in the beautiful countryside of the Pays de Foix.  It was a most memorable experience and one we will never forget.  The house was on its own in the most glorious setting and we thoroughly enjoyed looking after both the house and the dogs.  We are retired and are therefore able to sit at any time of the year for periods up to 4/6 weeks.  This was our first "sit" and we shall most certainly be looking to repeat the experience, maybe in a different country next time - it has opened up a whole new world for us and I would thoroughly recommend it to anybody
Wendy and Eddie, England to France, Dec '04
Hi there,
Just to let you know that we have arranged a great house sit for six months, perfect for us as our house will be built just about the end of the contract. The couple and dog we will be sitting for are extremely nice, and chose our advertisement because of our black Labrador! They are going overseas so we will just be having the one housesit, but will certainly recommend your site to anyone we know who wants to do something similar.
Thanks again, Cheers,
Davina & James, Queensland, Australia, Dec '04
Dear Danny
We have already received one job, thanks to our advertisement with you and so I think the money was well spent. We will be taking care of 2 dogs and a cat for 3 weeks over Christmas... right on the door step of Murdock. Really looking forward to that, as it will also give us time to cycle around the Swan River and enjoy the central Perth area. Also looking forward to early morning and warm evening walks with the dogs. What a great life.
Have a good day, and a happy holiday season to you and your staff.
Cathy & Torsten, Germany to Perth, Aust. Dec '04
Hi... this is to advise that I have found a sitter to take care of my wonderful dog... thanks heaps and will surely recommend your service... very impressive .... I  have used your service before and am more than happy with the outcome..
A wonderful site and when the time comes for me to be a house sit person I will most certainly be in touch.. Thanks again and have a great day.
Kind regards Marilyn and soon to be abandoned dog....., Brisbane, Nov '04
Hi Danny,
We are back in Oz after an enjoyable and successful house-sit in Pagham England. We have some great memories, and are looking forward to
house-sitting again. Many thanks
Cheers, Sharyn & Andrew, England, Nov '04
Hi Danny, it's great... have house-sat for 3 different people now and the current one will take me up until Christmas - unbelievable way to save money!

Hi Great site we had over 80 people apply for our ad.  Could you now remove it as we have found a sitter
Thanks, Glen, Perth, Oct '04

Hi guys, Just wanted to let you know that we were successful in our search to find a house to sit. An amazing place in Ealing Common. We placed the
add and 3 weeks later, we received a call from a lady who wanted her house and her wonderful dog Harry (pic attached) looked after for 7 months. After the interview in September, we were successful and moved in on the 26th October. Great timing also because we have to leave the
UK on the 25th of may 2005 and they return on the 24th. Wow ha? We are very happy and now we are about to place another add for when we return to Australia in Sydney. We now have 3 references  and hope we are as successful as we have been with you this time.
Thanks guys, Ian Paul and harry.

Australia to London, Nov '04

Dear Danny, Very happy to be able to tell you that we found a housesit place in Melbourne through your splendid service.

Walter & Elly, Melbourne, Sept '04
Dear Danny,
Thank you - I've just had a response from Scotland, which sounds promising and am awaiting a faxed passport/id, etc. I can't believe it has worked so quickly. (2 days). The possibilities for both sitting and using sitters are fantastic. Great website!
Sincerely, Anita, Reading, England, Oct '04
Dear Danny, Could you please remove my ad for housesitting . . . . Thanks for your service. It really helped me, and gave me time to decide where I wanted to live. Thanks again!

I am now back after house-sitting in Scotland for 6 weeks.  No worries, and had a lovely time for which I must thank you for this service.
Please keep my name on your books, and let me know when my annual sub. is due.  I would like to add to my list of possible destinations - anywhere in Australia.  I now have a Tasmanian police check, and can easily get a Federal one if needed, and I've also a reference from my Scottish holiday.
Thank you once again for this service.

Was thinking it would be good to stopover in Gympie and say gidday!! Have lots of things to tell and would be nice to chat over coffee - lunch - whatever!!
Cheers Keith, Qld, Australia, July '04

Frances, UK to France, July '04
Danny,
Thank you for allowing us access to your really excellent site.
On the same day that we listed our "sitters wanted" ad on your site, we contacted, by e-mail, one of your couples who had advertised wanting a house to sit.  They replied by e-mail within a couple of hours. It turned out they are currently sitting nearby, are building within a stone's throw of us and our timing is perfect. Yesterday they came to our house to meet us. They seem ideal. Today I phoned three of their referees who think the world of them.
We shall certainly use their services - and we shall recommend your site to others.
John, West Australia, July '04
Dear housesitworld, would you be so kind as to cancel our ad for a housesitting job in or near Newcastle NSW.
Thank you so much for your wonderful service. We have so far done one month housesitting in Tasmania for a lovely couple and now we're housesitting in Pindimar.
Thanks again, we are definitely planning to use your service often in the future. With kind regards, Walter & Elly, Australia, July '04
Hi Danny
Thanks for registering my details as a house-sitter on your website recently.
I was only registered for approx. 3 weeks before being asked to house-sit for a lovely couple for 3 months from the beginning of July (I have just updated my availability details) and wanted to thank you as this is a great opportunity for me to save some money and get started in house-sitting!
Cheers, Sharon, Adelaide, June '04
We now have a sitter, but thanks to all those who replied, Sarah, Spain, July '04
Hi Danny, Would you please close all our adds until further notice. We have been inundated with calls and are booked for the next 18 mths. After that we intend to go to Karratha to spend 12 mths with the kids. We will be back. Thanking you for a wonderful experience.
John & Joy, All Australia, June '04

Dear Danny

 We have secured another wonderful house-sit for five months in USA, starting October 2004, so please will you delete our ad

I must say this house-sitting is very exciting, it’s like a lucky dip, you don’t know what you will get.  We haven’t had many responses (total of four) but out of them we have had two absolutely fantastic five month ones, so you can’t ask more than that!

Many thanks,

Janetta & Eddy, South Africa to USA, July '04
Thank you - we have found a couple to housesit for us.  Please remove our ad.  Your service is very good and we would certainly use it again.
Thanks again.

Dear Danny,
Thanks for the site, it worked a charm and we have found a suitable house sitter through your service very quickly and are still getting enquiries.
So I thought I had better cancel the ad.
Thanks again. Kind regards,
Peter, Perth, June '04
Thank you so much for your service, I had several "hits". I now have a sitter... please delete ad.
Very impressed with your prompt acknowledgements, answers to questions, and service in general. So nice to have this personal touch in our often impersonal "techy" world.
Will definitely use your service again.
Sincerely, Kim, Alaska, June '04
Hi Danny
Just letting you know that we won't be renewing for a further 12 months at the moment for we are now currently booked up until September 2005 with tentative bookings for parts of 2006.........mind boggling isn't it!  We will keep in touch and renew our registration as needed. Thanks and cheers
Thelma & Alan, Australia, June '04
Thanks Danny, I just received an offer for 3 weeks in Austria which would have been fantastic but it is for June this year , it would have been great, just too soon as I am now going sailing along the Croatian coast in September, so your site is working well, anyway I can help just let me know
Cheers, Robyn, Australia to Austria, May '04
Dear Danny
Some feedback: I had a fantastic response with the housesit ad - within 2 days!
I have just sent housesitworld an update - I need to change the ad so that I am available after 3 September 2004.

This house-sitting is great.
The first response to our first ad was for five months in the Highlands of Scotland, with six weeks off in the middle to go touring.
(read more here)
Janetta & Eddy, South Africa to Scotland, Apr '04

I have had an amazing response to my ad - 1st enquiry within 24 hours then 3 more!!
I had to refuse 2 very good offers and have spoken with 3 owners so hope I have spread the word for you too. Have amended the dates available tonight so hopefully you will have the details. Cheers for now and many thanks for your service.
Keith, Australia, April '04
Hi Danny
We now have a sitter so please can you remove our ad.  Excellent service!
We were spoilt for choice.
Thanks again

Just a note to thank you for my first house-sitting position.  I have 6-weeks in Paisley, Scotland. Leave July.  I must admit I thought it would never happen. Thanks again.
Lesley, Tasmania to Scotland, April '04
Hi Danny - Should tell you, too, that I did a radio interview with ABC Darwin this morning about being a petsitter as a result of my ad on your site - so am hoping you get lots of enquiries/hits from NT as a result.
Couldn't have done my trip round Australia without housesitting - have been able to have rent-free accommodation for more than half of my two years away.
Julia, Australia, April 2004
Dear Danny
Can you delete my advert for Canada at the moment, as we are currently petsitting in British Columbia and will be here for a couple of months.  We won't be able to come back this year due to family commitments.  Many thanks, and I will be in touch later if we want to go back on the register.
We still would like to petsit in the UK because obviously we are nearer and can do short term assignments.
Many thanks for a very successful service and I hope you are still as successful in the future.
Regards, Jan, UK to Canada, Feb '04
Have had so many offers of places to sit, am trying to squeeze a lady in between two other sits - have had to knock back so many - you need more sitters!
Will be registering for England for next year.
Many thanks, Mary, Rural Australia, Mar '04.
We won't renew at the moment as we have finished our 6 month trip around the world. However, we would like to say how wonderful the site is. We had four contacts and accepted three house sits in Europe. Had a wonderful time and will do it again in the future.
Cheers, Mal, Australia to UK & Europe, Feb '04
Dear Danny,
Sorry to bother you again.  I keep getting more house sits (thanks to your wonderful site) so, instead of emailing you and changing the dates all the time, would you just put "all year" in availability and then I can let them know when they ring if I'm free on their dates?
Thanks, Lesley. Brisbane, March '04
Hello, I used your service previously and want to sign up again.

Hi There, You will probably know that Carole and I will be housesitting up at Banora Point for (name) for a minimum of 12 months from 20th April 04
We are still receiving requests from other people - we have actually sold our property here in Adelaide so the above situation seems to have suited both parties as it will give us ample time to get to know the area and possibly buy a property round that area.
Yours sincerely Peter &
Carole, Australia, Mar '04
We have a house sitter, Thanks so much. Please cancel ad. Thanks again!!
Lisa, British Columbia, Canada, Feb '04
We now have a sitter, so our ad can be removed. Thank you for your service,
it was great!
Loretta, Tasmania, March '04
I find your site confusing . . . BUT had good results for housesitting last year in Britain . . . I had two great experiences housesitting in Britain and Ireland last April and May (and) need to start looking soon for housesitting this summer or possibly caretaking.
S.D., Jan '04, from USA
(We're working on upgrades which hopefully will make things easier soon - Danny)
Hi Danny,
Just to let you know our "ad" with you has had a quick result. We have been offered and have accepted a sit in North Sydney 1st-27th April. The offer came from Chris Rogers who advertised in your "sitters wanted" section.
Thanks very much and we will let you know how it all works out. In the meantime can you please remove our "ad" as we had another offer by e-mail this evening and I don't want anyone else wasting their time writing to us.
We will probably want a "sit" again in the future and will be in touch.
Kind Regards, Adrian & Brenda, Sydney, March '03
Thank you for letting us advertise - we have found someone. It was slow but then all of a sudden there were several.
I will use the site again.
Thank you, Heather, New Zealand, Dec '03

 

I placed an ad with you for a house sitter, and just want to inform you that I now have found somebody from the ad.
Thank
you so much for the service it turned out really good.
Will come back when I require again.
Thanks heaps. Marie, Hervey Bay, Qld, Mar '04
Dear Housesitworld, I have now found a sitter through your site. . .
You give a great service to us travellers with homes.
Thanks, Yvonne, London, Dec '03
Thank you for your wonderful service in the past 12 months, we will most likely be needing one of your house sitters in the near future when we decide to hit the road again- shorter trips this time
Regards, Carol & Warren, Australia, Feb '04
Thank you for the Web site, we have had two super house-sits in Au. this year and made lovely friends through your service.
Thanks, Tony &
Carol, New Zealand to Aust, 2003
We are very busy referring people to your site - hope that's ok with you. A lot of people interested in either sitting or being sat and the requests we are getting on a weekly basis far more than we can do.
We are currently in Albany WA being tourists between sits south east and then north east of Perth. We go back across the Nullarbor in June for a 3 month sit south of Adelaide. We are free from October at the moment - if we need to change the info I'll get back to you.
Cheers, Rosemarie and Ken, Australia, Feb '04

Just wanted to let you know that we couldn't believe it how quickly we found a place in Tasmania to housesit. We will be visiting them on 14/02 and introduce ourselves. We'll be housesitting for the month May. We're now trying for Newcastle, so we can spend some time near our youngest daughter.
Thanks again, Elly, Tasmania, Feb '04
Thankyou, I am pleased I was able to obtain 6 weeks of housesit in Bowen, should be wonderful.  The program works!
Robin, Canada to Aust, Oct '03
Dear Danny
Thanks for email, we did have heaps of fun and it was a great experience housesitting.  Your service is fantastic and we received a lot of enquiries and made friends along the way. We are now settled again in WA and will not be renewing our membership.  However we will always recommend you to friends who are contemplating travel as we were so happy with your company.
All the very best for the future and thanks again.
Barb & Allen, Australia, Feb '04
We have arranged with a couple from Melbourne to look after the house etc., whilst we are in New Zealand. We no longer are looking for a house sitter, so please delete the listing on your page. Thanks for your help,
Stan and Elaine, England, Oct '03
Hi there, Just wondering if someone could contact me about how I may change my availability for housesitting on my profile as I have a couple of assignments (already!..... I got a call the next day after registering) and there is a two and a half month gap between them. Many thanks for the great service.
Suzanne, Sydney, Jan '04
Hi, We've found a sitter for our house, couldn't have worked better. Please remove from the list
Many thanks, Mark, Cambridge, UK, Oct '03.
Thank you these people sound great, but we have eventually found someone from your directory . . . Talking to the people was amazing, with their stories of far flung house sitting adventures. Your business has been a great help and we will definitely be spreading the word.
S&E Arvela, South Coast NSW, Aust. Jan '04
Thank you for listing my ad. Could you please remove.  We found a wonderful person to care and take care of our dogs while we travel!
Perfect match!
Thank you!

Hi there, We would like you to know that we have found a house sitter, a teacher couple from Brisbane, who will take care of our house and pets. Please be so kind as to cancel our advertisement.

We have successfully used this site to obtain house-sitting "jobs" over the past 18 months. . . and have "house-sat" homes and pets in NSW, VIC and TAS and we have received requests to return to these "sits" when the owners take their next break.
Russell & Lorraine, Australia, Jan '04
It's unbelievable, I was contacted about a week after I posted my availability. Using your service is providing me with what I hope will be a wonderful house sitting experience. The home is lovely. Located in a safe neighborhood and complete with a loveable dog!  The owners are wonderful, generous people.  I keep pinching myself.
Arcynia Washington, USA - Jan '03
We are now old clients of this great service being in our 3rd year of full time sitting all over Australia. There can be no better service than this around. We have had a fantastic time since joining, never out of a sit for more than a couple of weeks and have met some great people that we now consider friends & we now correspond to all on a regular basis.
Due to this experience we now find ourselves booked into four new sits which will take us through to October 2nd 2004.
John & Joy, Australia, Jan '04
I have a two week housesitting position in England in May and a week or more in Ireland in April.  I was also contacted by a couple in Munich to housesit for a month in February but, unfortunately, I didn't get their email in time - Sheri - USA - Jan '03
Good morning Danny
Just to let you know this is the first time we have gone into this, I have received 2 housesits in this short time of registering with you, which we will be doing early next year until June..
Kind regards, Iris, Qld, Australia, Dec '03
Many thanks for a great site! I was having problems with getting a house sitter but since registering on your site I have had 3 positive replies. Please would you remove my ad now as I believe that I have found the perfect sitter for the great Dane dog & 2 cats.
Davina, South Hampshire
, England, Oct '02
We have been impressed with your service and have (as you say) made new friends from housesitting. It has been a wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone who would like to see some of this great country of ours.
If and when we decide to go back into business, we will  certainly contact you.
many thanx, Robert, South Australia, Dec '03
Your site is wonderful!  Please remove our ad (attached) as we've found the perfect family to take care of our home and pets while we're away.  Thank you for making this service available!
Best success in the future!
Gail, Virginia, USA, Sept '02
Thank you for your great service.
Your website will be well referred to anyone interested in housesitting.

Many thanks for our entry on your service. We have just completed a nine-week house-sit in Provence, France

Lesley,
Oxfordshire, England, March, 2002.
Hi, Thanks for all your help, its been a great two years.
We have been sitting for two years through this agency with great success all over this great land. Past house-sits have resulted in ongoing sits for future dates.
John & Joy, Australia, Oct '03
Thanks.  The housesitworld listing worked well for us and we have now received a reply from a Canadian girl who is going to look after the house and cottage business for us.
Since the "sitter wanted" is no longer needed. Could you remove our listing?
Stan, Halifax, England.
Hi, I would like to cancel my ad and subscription as I am no longer available to house-sit.  Thanks very much for the opportunity this site provides to register to house-sit.  I've received many requests, and have been to some lovely properties.
Ros, Vic & WA, Oct '03
Thank you for your service. I have located a housesitter, so my add can be cancelled. I will use your service again in the future.

Dear housesit oz,
Thank you very much for running our add for a house sitter, we have made contact with a sitter through the add and we are now ok for this time. We will pass on to our friends about your very good service. Thanks again Regards
Kevin & Janice, NSW, Oct '03
I wanted you to know I received a housesitter for my home in Penticton by placing an ad on your site.
Thank you very much for the opportunity to do this.
Florence BC Canada Oct 2001
Can we suspend our advertisement for we now have bookings that should take us up to January 2005. We have been very pleased with your data base and will certainly be using it in the future. We get lots and lots of requests but there are not enough months in a year .... .....so obviously lots and lots of people use your data base.  Now of course we are being referred by our past house hosts and we now have options of sitting in London, France and USA .........maybe this will be our goal for 2005.
Cheers, Thelma and Alan, Australia, Oct '03
Well we are here at Belli Park housesitting, which was advertised on your website back in June when we were in NZ.
We have had at least five other offers but unable to do because we are travelling to Sth America Nov til Jan. 
Margie & Mal - New Zealand to Qld - Aug 2001
Thanks for your wonderful service, glad to be back after 5 months of sitting at Manly, a great way to spend winter especially when Hobart has been so cold, told heaps of people of your service, look forward to getting new placements, best Wishes,
Lynn

We vacationed in Europe and used Housesitting for our home in Florida.
 Dr. Nancy Highland did a wonderful job looking after the home and our dog, Dingo.
The home was very neat upon our return and I could tell Dingo became very attached to Nancy while we were away. The transportation to and from the airport worked out very well because the car did not have to be left in the parking lot.  
      I would strongly recommend Nancy for house sitting and use her again if she was available.  
      Please remove our add for housesitting for the time being.
Sincerely,  Tom & Ilka - Florida July 2001
Hello! Thank you for your site!
Already I had a good response and have found a sitter. Please could you remove my advertisement.

Thanks for everything!
Christel, Victoria, Sept '03
Boy you guys are good - I got a house 15 minutes bike ride from where I wanted to be - and it only took 28 days.
I'm set until February 1st 2002.

The demands for house-sitting were overwhelming

Dear Danny
Thank you for your quick response to my  application. This morning I received a firm offer to house sit in Greece for Oct - March and have accepted it. Unfortunately, this means we are not available this year and I would be grateful if you could take our details off the web. Thanks again for your response. Maybe we will contact you Next year.

Alan Simmons
UK - for Greece
(Details listed 2nd June 2001 -
position gained same day)
We wish to continue on your web site and will mail a cheque tomorrow.  Our year has been very successful both travel and house sit. We did our first "sit" at a farm in NSW and loved every minute of it. We then spent 6 weeks over Christmas holidays sitting in Sydney, have just done a house and holiday units in SA, doing another SA soon then Perth for next Christmas. We have been booked for 3 sits already in 2004 and have had to decline many. We are amazed at the numbers out there wanting sitters.
Our new found friends both 2 and 4 legged are great and each garden has been left by Ken in a better state than on arrival.
Regards, Rosemarie and Ken

We're pleased to advise you that, as a result of your service, we've successfully found a wonderful couple to care for our home in our absence. We'll definitely use your service in the future,

Testimonials.
Dear Directoryoz. webmaster or webwitch,

Please paste this on to your testimonial page

The amount of feed back you get must be like the tip of an iceberg.

I guess many of your happy house sitters do not have the time to tell you how satisfied they are.
This site has proved invaluable for us. We were able to find a house for the 4 weeks after our house settlement and before we travelled overseas. We arrived back in Australia and are still waiting for our new home to be built. We know homeowners use your site as a valuable resource
.

We were thrilled to receive a phone call, months after our original advertisement, asking us to house sit for three months. This meant we could move closer to the CBD and enjoy the delights of city living.
We have just recommended this site to friends who are moving to UK and will then probably work in Europe.
We hope to maintain the success we have so far enjoyed until our new home is
ready. We will continue to use it when we wish to have a change of scenery. After all a change is as good as a holiday.!

 Joy Vogt - Melb July 2001

Thank you we managed to secure a sitter tonight (phew!). Could you please remove ad (for Narooma). We have used your service twice now (last year to find a housesitter for 3 months) and have found it fantastic and would use it in preference to imposing on friends/relatives.
Cheers, Carla NSW June '03

I have been house sitting at Manly West Brisbane for the past 10 weeks, and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
I would like to thank Home & House sitting Worldwide for the opportunity to meet and be-friend these wonderful people. Now the owners of this home are back in Brisbane, I look forward to house sitting again soon.
Thank you again and kind regards
Janis Brisbane April '03
My ad for a housesitter in Enfield, Adelaide has been successful ALREADY!!
Met with a lovely couple today and things are going to work out great. I think it only went on the site on Saturday and they contacted me first thing Monday morning - nice and quick. Thanks very much for a wonderful site
and please now remove my ad.
Regards... Marissa, Perth, Mar '03
Thank you for your excellent service.  I have now selected a house sitter from the many responses I received, so please delete my ad from the NSW site.

Hi - many thanks for your help.
 We now have a sitter.  Hooray!
Joan, Canberra, March '03
Hello, We are happy to tell you that you can take us off your list. We are occupied with house sitting for most of the time we needed. Many Thanks,
Verne & Coral, Qld, March '03
A week ago we submitted an ad for housesitters wanted in Tasmania, which we would now like to cancel as we have since found ourselves a suitable housesitter. It was actually from your listing of available housesitters that we found them, so thanks for providing the service as it's been a big help. We'll definitely use you again next time we need someone.
Maree Tasmania March '03
 I am writing to inform you and your prospective clients what wonderful results we have received after registering on your site. We registered in late January, if my memory serves me correct, and we are heading off on our first house sit on 26/03/03. This gives us a good opportunity to see a little of our grand state, and meet some lovely people as well. I believe we will make new friends out of our adventure.
Val & Wane, Qld, March '03
Your housesitting site has worked wonderfully for us.  We are about to start building a house, and due to numerous hiccups have been delayed considerably. However, we have been contacted for housesitting from your site and, added to the housesits for family and friends, we will be accommodated up until the end of June, which will basically cover the building period. I had been doubtful that it would work for us as Tassie doesn't seem to have as big a list as other states, but it has worked out perfectly. Thank you for a wonderful site.
Ken and Jo - Tas - Jan '03
I have submitted a change of available date. I also wanted to thank you and your organization as I am currently house sitting for some lovely people who contacted me after searching your network. Let's hope I am just as lucky come the end of May. Kind regards, Janis, Qld Jan '03
HI, we recently registered on your web site for house sitting, It has been a success for us we have had to date four enquires & have accepted two places one in Victoria & one In Innisfail.
All four people contacted us either by phone or E-mail, we have not had to contact anyone from your web site listings.
Regards
, Brian & Judith, Aust, Dec '02
we've had a great time housesitting & are still getting enquiries -
would like to thank you for advertising us in the first place -
you operate a great service!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Barbara & Allen, Perth, Dec '02
We have enjoyed four consecutive house sits this year in NSW and both owners and pets alike have been extremely happy!
Donna, NSW, Sept '02
thanks for placing my ad, since I have I am now in correspondence with quite a few different couples, can I please ask to have my add removed, I know I only just put it on but due to the responses I have had and my time needed to reply it would be good to take it off already!! Your service is obviously very successful, thanks heaps.
Viv Qld Aug '02
I must let you know that I have received about 4 or 5 replies to my ad.  The offers were short ones but certainly the result is far better than from (name of opposition), where I was only offered one sit for the whole year and the person wanted me to pay.  So perhaps your service is attracting more people looking for sitters. Keep up the good work and thank you for everything.  Kindest regards
Robin Aust Aug '02
Please remove my ad wanting a sitter from my house - it has only been listed a few days and already I have had 3 replies. I have found the sitter I needed. I have been impressed by the quality of the applicants and have already recommended this site to my friends.
I will not be shy to use you again! Thanks a lot
Rita
, Perth, July'02
Thanks for your help. We have been lucky and were contacted last week by someone who wanted us to look after their home. I have had another couple of calls since then. Can you please now remove our names from the register so that someone else may get the calls we are getting. Thanks for the great service,
Regards, Deborah and Chris, Sydney, 5th July '02
Just a quick note to let you know I had a response for house sitting within three days of registering as a house sitter on your site.
Thanks Shane
, Perth, June 2002
Just a quick note to let you know that we have two housesits, one in Sussex Inlet and one in Ipswich.
We are very happy with the responses - even got one to go to China and teach the kids English!
Allen & Barbara, NSW & Qld, June 2002
We have been very pleased with the results from our listing as available housesitters which I believe we did sometime in late March. To date we have had over 20 enquiries and have taken up an offer at Jamberoo on the South Coast of NSW for the period May to August - hence the need to change our details. Obviously your website gets results!!!
Kevin & Carol, NSW, May 2002
Hi, Many thanks for your service. I had a reply within 24 hrs and have now house sitters all fixed up.  Can I ask you now to remove my add asking for sitters, I will recommend you to my friends for sure.
 Thanks again.  Jean, Perth, April 2002
Could you please remove my add for a house sitter. I was over run by phone callers, and have now found a house sitter for my home and dog. Many thanks.
Karl, Brisbane, April 2002.
Thank you for a great site...we have already found a suitable couple to care for our home and animals, after only 2 days.

I need to cancel my advertisement for a sitter. I have been overwhelmed and will never use all the people who have replied.
Suzanne - Brisbane - Jan 2002
.
Successfully arranged a housesit the next day and for a longer period. Many thanks from our cats Leo and Bandit. Could you remove our ad so we don't disappoint others.
Ian - Brisbane Jan 2002
I have been joined up for about 1 month and wish to let you know how pleased I am with the rapid responses to my ad. I actually did get a long term sit within 3 weeks but unfortunately had to turn it down because of certain requirements I felt I could not keep long term, however I was still very impressed with the rapid responses. I have two more interviews for the xmas period this week. I still have had no response what so ever from your competitor, (named), after being joined for 5 months now.
Once again congrats on a great site.
Karen - Gold Coast Oct 2001
I have an housesitter wanted ad on your wonderful system.
I am pleased to say that I have successfully found the ideal couple to house sit for us.  This is a fantastic site and I thank you for this.
Please can you clear my ad off your site.
Thanks Lyn - Brisbane Oct 2001
Please remove our ad as we are already fully booked
thanks to your service
Harry - Perth Sept 2001
I have had heaps of offers lately but have had to turn them all down as I have received a promotion and will be moving to Canberra. I have accommodation prepaid for in Canberra so won't need to renew. Thanks.
Em - Sydney Aug 2001
Have lost count of the number of responses they have had to their listing - it is the best value present we have ever given them.
Kathryn - Queensland July 2001
We have had house sitting jobs for 7 months continuous,
from Magnetic Island to the sunshine coast
and have really enjoyed it.
Please let us know when our membership is due for renewal.
Thanks for every thing
Steve and Kay - Queensland 2nd July 2001
I'm writing to inform you that I'm now in my first housesit,
it's a beautiful bed & breakfast house in the outer north east of Melb. I'm here till the 21st of August & would love to line up another place to sit as soon as I can.
Heather - Melbourne 5th June 2001
Your service is great - so far Mum & Dad have had four responses (in less than 2 months) and look like taking one of those up mid year. Many thanks, Kathryn

Housesitting is going well. We move out on the weekend of
25/26 November 2000 (unfortunately!!), but the home owner was so impressed she has recommended us to a friend of hers, so we move straight into her place.
