ma and pa smith

Hello to all the readers out there, We have travelled our beautiful country a couple of times and we are planning another trip next year around March. Previously we have had family members house sit but don't have anyone available for our next trip. We have been wondering how to go about looking for someone to hous sit for us, is it safe, you do hear some horror stories. We have 3 spoilt cats we cant take with us and don't want to get rid of them. Can i please have some feed back and advice on how to find house sitters. Cheers Ma Smith (Wendy)

We have been house sitting for the last couple of years all around the country. The main site we use is www.housesitters.com.au. We might be interested in your place for a March timeframe, depending on which state its in?.
Send me an email if you like (click on the envelope in the top right hand corner of the message) and I will send you a link to our house sitters profile.

We used the same site to find people to run our farm .when we went away we had a lot of replays from all sort of people . Just take your time when seclcting some one as there are tones of people to choose from on that site .on our return the couple we used had done a great job all animals safe and sound the cattle were happy and the farm looked great on our return

Hi Wendy,

Have you had a look on the Caravanners forum...there is a place there which you might find useful. Membership is free.
Its called 'Stop overs and house sits' for use by members.
regards,
Heather
