If
you are aged 50 or over*, all you need do to register for
SeniorSitters
Free Membership and receive your Free Email address is
complete a simple online registration form with personal and contact details.
You
will then be able to browse housesitting opportunities on our affiliated
websites, although you will need to register on each site and pay for access to
Homeowners.
However,
your membership of SeniorSitters will entitle you to discounted
rates on these websites.
When
you consider the cost of even the cheapest accommodation, housesitting offers
incredible value, as well as flexibility and the opportunity to holiday, free
of charge, all over Australia,
New Zealand
and a host of other countries.

"For a small outlay, housesitting enables the housesitter
to go virtually anywhere.
"In the last year, I have looked after houses in Melbourne, the Mornington
Peninsula and the Gold Coast .
"My next sit is in rural Victoria, where I’ll be for two months, followed
by six weeks in Melbourne. After that, who knows?
"One thing is for sure, as a lifestyle it’s hard to beat, yet it doesn’t
break the bank and I cannot imagine any other way for a pensioner to see
so much of the country.”
- RG, Queensland

When
you see a suitable opportunity advertised on the website of your choice,
you contact the owner by Email, with a brief message introducing yourself
and explaining why you think you would be suitable.
It’s
then up to the owner to contact you and take the transaction further. Neither
SeniorSitters
nor our affiliates play any role in vetting would-be sitters and we make it clear to owners
that selection is a matter entirely of their own judgement. (A Questions &
Answers page with useful hints to both owners and sitters is also on the
website.)
We strongly recommend that sitters equip themselves with verifiable
references and also a National Police Certificate, which is available through
your state or territory police service at nominal cost. To help sitters we have
produced a list of practical hints on many aspects of housesitting and marketing
yourself to owners.
House
Sitting is great fun – we speak from experience – and we recommend that
Homeowners join the ranks of those happy and contented people who spend part of
the year as Housesitters.
