House Sitting Australia: Your Trusted Companion in House Sitting Adventures
House Sitting Australia was born from a passion for house sitting and the desire to create a community that connects homeowners and sitters across the country. Founded by an experienced house sitter and educator, our mission is to simplify the house sitting process and provide a platform that fosters trust and reliability.
Our journey began in 2007 when our founder took up house sitting as a way to explore Australia while managing a small website business and teaching. For the next 8 years, they travelled far and wide, gaining invaluable experience and insights into the house sitting world. Documenting their adventures through an online diary at https://myhousesitting.blogspot.com/, their passion for house sitting grew, leading to the creation of a thriving Facebook group with over 50,000 members.
The success of the Facebook group inspired the launch of House Sitting Australia, a comprehensive website designed to provide resources, tips, and support for both homeowners and sitters. As a secondary Math, Science, and IT teacher, our founder has combined their expertise in technology and education to create a platform that caters to the unique needs of the Australian house sitting community.
