Who we are - and what we do

"Housesitting" the cattle

SeniorSitters was founded by avid Housesitter, Peter Wearing Smith, as a housesitting information and referral service tailored specifically to suit the needs of mature Australians and New Zealanders for whom housesitting could be a lifestyle choice. 

Since then, due to our association with HouseCarers.com our members now come from many  countries in addition to Australia and New Zealand.

And, because many Homeowners feel more comfortable with more mature Housesitters, SeniorSitters Housesitters must be aged 50 or over, although Homeowners may be of any age. 


"My experience in employing a house sitter was very positive.
"The housesitter looked after our house last year while we had a holiday.
"It was a wonderful solution for us, as we needed to know that our house was safe and that our ageing Golden Retriever was kept happy. The sitter looked after our home beautifully and was particularly kind to the dog, keeping to her usual routine of walks and food.
"He did everything that was necessary when she became ill and kept us informed of her progress all the time. "
