Hi, I’m Brittnay — a professional, full-time house sitter based in Melbourne. I’ve spent the past 10 years house-sitting both internationally and across Melbourne, providing reliable short- and long-term care for homes and pets.
Over the past decade, I’ve completed just over thirty house sits in twelve countries, including assignments in the Caribbean. Twelve of those sits have been in Melbourne, where I’ve cared for homes in Abbotsford, Kew, Footscray, Brunswick, Richmond, Thornbury, St Kilda, Victoria Wharf, Sunshine, Yarraville, Reservoir, and Newport.
I’ve cared for more than 80 pets over the years — from energetic puppies and senior dogs to shy rescue cats, parrots, rabbits, fish, and even chickens. My care style is calm, attentive, and routine-focused, with a strong emphasis on keeping pets comfortable, relaxed, and happy in their own home.
I currently hold 20+ five-star reviews, reflecting my commitment to communication, cleanliness, and treating every home and pet with absolute respect.
If you’re looking for a trusted, experienced sitter who offers professional-level care, I’d love to help.

House Sitting in Melbourne
Are you looking to start house sitting in Melbourne? Or are you an existing house sitter in Melbourne?
Since we will also be in Melbourne over the Christmas period we would love to meet up with anyone looking to start house sitting – or even any existing house sitters in Melbourne. We would love to get together to discuss house sitting, share tricks & tips or just generally meet up and have a chat!
We understand house sitting in a new or foreign place can be lonely and appreciate a local contact if possible.
We are very passionate about house sitting and the lifestyle that it allows us to live. We want to help and encourage others to start living this life! If this sounds like you head on over to our page all about how to become a house sitter, make sure you also check our Aussie House Sitters review!
