Just been granted VISAS - WOW!!!

Set on renting - but house sitting keeps coming up in conversations.

Has anyone tried this and can we please have your comments - good/bad!

Many thanks

Hi, we are going to Perth on the 14th June and have a housesit organised in Rockingham for 6 weeks. We joined House Sitters & Sitting from Housecarers . and met the folk when we were out on holiday in January. In our case we are looking after their pets too but not all housesits require you to do this. It is an excellent way of having somewhere to live without forking out loads on rent and gives you time to look at what area you do want to move to permanently. Check out the site and see whats available. Good luck.

Hi Juderay

We are moving to Perth also, hopefully November, getting flights sorted as we speak. Will take a look at this website. Thanks for reply.
Good luck for the big move.

I hadn't thought of this... great idea. I was looking at forking out on a holiday rental, but a few weeks housesitting, much better idea. Thanks juderay for the website and US$45 joining fee pales in comparison to the cost of a holiday rental.

I've only done it for a friend in the UK and I have to say it was great. I think it's a brilliant idea.
