House Sitters

are you in South Aust?

If so, we have an association here, that gives recommendations based upon previous sits.

My wife has a full time sitter working for her, and he does some pretty posh suburbs, and always comes out with good recommendations.

Maybe this is where you should be looking..... a Bona Fide sitting agency.

Also suggest you check your insurance to make sure there will be no surprises should a loss arise. Cheers

I had a house sitter for all of Septmember last year while we were in the outback. My father had one for 6 weeks over September-October while he was overseas as well.
Both of couldn't be happier! Our dogs were fed, walked & pampered. Our houses were treated with the utmost respect & were a pleasure to return home to.
Ours even had dinner in the oven, ready for us when we returned.
I reckon it is a 1000 times safer than going away & leaving the house unattended.

Thanks for the info. We are in Melbourne.

Checking the insurance is on my list before we do anything - thanks for the reminder.

I would appreciate knowing how Shaker & father found the house sitters they were so happy with. I have found several web sites offering contact points for home owners/sitters but it's difficult to work out which are more reliable than others. Perhaps sitters register with them all and vice versa. Any clues?

Looking forward to more info,
Derek
