What a wonderful site this is—I put in an ad in August last year for a house-sitter for June/July this year — and received a reply immediately from a lovely woman, Sheena. We met and clicked instantly. I also received many more replies but went with Sheena. The house was just as I left it, everything taken care of—especially my 18 year old cat who needed medicating twice a day — and Sheena was just wonderful. She emailed me regularly while I was overseas and nothing was a problem for her to do. We have become friends too. Thank you so much. I will certainly use your site again. Keep up the good work.

Just wanted to say what a God send your service is. I have been very anxious about what we were going to do with our beloved dog while we are overseas. I came across your website and placed an ad. Wfthin 12 hours I had an enquiry from a lovely couple and after looking through all the people who house sit in our area they were by far the best for our situation

We have recently been away for 9 weeks and had Alex to house and dog-sit for us. He did a great job and looked after our two elderly girls (Setters) extremely well. I am most grateful to a friend of a friend for recommending your organisation.
We will be very happy to recommend both Alex and your organisation to our friends.

We were so pleased with the applications we receivad, the ease of use and privacy set up of your website that we wanted to pass on our gratitude for providing this service. Thanks to you we found a fantastic couple which meant we had complete peace of mind whilst we were away. Without it, we would don’t know how we would hay found someone to look after our house and our cats would probably hay ended up in a horrible cattery. HopefUlly we are fortunate enough in the future to need your senAces again!
Thanks again

We recently went on a two and a half month driving holiday in Australia. During that time, Rob and Ana Nbouse sat for us in Thornlie, WA. What a lovely couple! They looked after our house perfectly, mowed the lawn, watered the plants, kept the house spotless and safe.

We were very impressed with our first reply and contacted them to arrange a meeting, this we did about 10 days later, they have their own little dog which they wanted to bring with them to ensure all 3 dogs got along, they did really well and they were impressed with our location. It was a mutual decision by both parties that the position was filled.

Hi Malcolm
We have just returned from Easter break to well fed, happy dogs. The house looks great and our house sitter, Leonie, has been lovely and communicative. We’d have her back again, so hopefully she won’t be too booked up by other home owners:) We’ve never used such a service before so it worked out better than I could have hoped.
Thank you for your online support

I just wanted to let you know what a great site Happy House Sitters is. I was amazed by the number of responses I received to my ad. and very pleasantly surprised with the quality of them, too. I met some lovely people, and feel very happy with the choice of sitters I’ve made.
Nick, Brisbane, 25 January 2010 see original
With your website, I was blown away by the amount of replies I got and all of them wanted to sit. I had to then sort through them and pick someone. I contacted my house sitter and she came over on Saturday and met with us... We are very happy with how quickly things turned around and the response has been astounding. Please send me a fridge magnet to — Juliana
Thanks for setting up such a cool website, I will defiantly use it again.
Juliana, Sydney, 07 December 2009 see original
I placed my ad late one night, and had a reply early the next morning. I have just met the house sitter and we now have arrangements in place. I am wrapped with this service, as it is exactly what I was looking for, to avoid kennel and cattery fees etc whilst away on holiday. Thank you

We recently used Happy Housesitters to get in touch with people to look after our Corgi X and house in St Kilda, Victoria. I think I had about 8 emails from all sorts of lovely sounding people within a couple of hours of uploading my house details. I was so impressed because it meant I could book my holiday flights straight away and I wasn't waiting around to hear back from prospective sitters...I just, wanted to thank you for setting this business up because it meant we could go away on holidays without stressing about our dog in kennels or having to pay for them for a couple of weeks while we are away.
Joh, Melbourne, 05 December 2009 see original
Hi, I recently used your site and found a great house sitter for while we were away on holiday. Made everything very easy for us and enjoyable. Thanks for a great site.
Trish, Perth, 30 October 2008 see original
Within 10 hours of a late night posting of our ad on Happy Housesitters, we had found the perfect sitter! I write this from overseas and can report our sitter has far exceeded our expectations in every way. Your service provided us with the avenue for advertising and we're thrilled...thank you.

I can only say that I was delighted with the person who lived at my house and with the friendly and easy manner with which we communicated. The organisation from your end was excellent because of the simplicity of the process.
Bill, Perth, 14 October 2009 see original
We had a very satisfactory response to our add and have just returned from 3 weeks in the Kimberly to a very tidy house and very contented dog. I would recommend this service to anyone.
Thanks to your wonderful website and service, I have had an outstanding response and have allocated a superb house sitter.
I am delighted, forever grateful that your wonderful service is prompt and assists all. I'd be happy with fridge magnets even
though I'm hardly home these days and would be delighted to pass them on to those in need. What ever you do, it works,
so stick at it and keep up the great work. I wish you every success in your business and support it thoroughly.

thank you, I did find a good sitter and found your website extremely helpful. I had many responses and lots of people to choose from.
Melissa, Melbourne, 01 August 2007 see original
We have had many house sitters in the past and turned to your site in desperation as we weren't happy with any of them (and I don't think we're that hard to please).
The couple we chose from your site (Alex and Jeanie) were excellent.

Hi - we have just returned from holidays and used Alana Maddaford, one of your sitters to mind our house and animals. She did a great job and the animals were clearly well cared for - their tummies are quite a bit closer to the ground!! ...Thanks for a great service!

I used a house sitter that answered my ad on your site and she was fabulous, and I will use her again.
Thanks again, your service is great.

I also wanted to let you know how incredibly impressed I have been with your service and with the quality of the people who contacted me. I had 12 responses within 24 hours AND I think that almost all of them would have been more than suitable. Choosing between such good
people was the most difficult part of this whole experience for me.
Moira, Sydney, 09 February 2007 see original
I
did find that out of about 50 advertised sitters that we contacted only two were available
for the time we required as most of the others were house sitting. I would suggest people look early for their sitters, once again thank you as we would not have enjoyed
our trip without your assistance from your website in finding a sitter.
Cathy, Sydney, 17 September 2006 see original
We are just writing to say what a fantastic service you provide. We recently listed our
home for a house sit and within a week had a number of responses. After interviewing a
few people we decided on one particular person to care for our home and animals while
we were away. This was the first time that we have used a service like this and although we had some 'nerves' about leaving our home to a complete stranger; we followed the
guidelines on your website and everything worked out really well.
Thank you for your great house sitter site. It not only consists of Happy House sitters but many Happy House Homeowners too !!
Susan, Sydney, 06 June 2006 see original
I have returned from my journeying, and happily found everything in good order (and particular items, eg my repaired back gate, in even better order than it was when I left). My house sitter was kind enough also to deliver me to and pick me up from the airport. I would recommend your service to anyone who I thought likely to make use of it at some time.
Di, Melbourne, 06 June 2006 see original
thank you Malcolm for your interest and for your assistance in making this service available. Our experience of being house sat was very successful and the cat tells me he was very happy with the cat sitter!

We were fortunate to have Ann and John sit for us for a month during April while
we were 0/S. We can only report complete satisfaction with the services provided by Ann, John and Happy House Sitters and we have no hesitation in recommending them
as not only great house sitters,
but wonderful people as well.
We were really thrilled with the service from Happy House Sitters. Keep up the great
