Simply Sitting is a housesitting service operating in the Brisbane Metropolitan area only. Since 1 July 2000, we have recommended reliable housesitters to more than 300 homeowners throughout Brisbane.

Simply Sitting takes the worry out of leaving home by providing mature housesitters for short or long periods. A live-in housesitter offers you an affordable way to ensure your home, garden and pets are well looked after while you are away.

Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, birds, rats, mice, cows, ducks, chicken, ferrets, frogs, skinks… our housesitters have cared for all types of animals.

Grand homes, family homes, cosy cottages, units or townhouses… we can usually find a housesitter to suit.

Please note: all our housesitters provide a live-in service. We do not provide a daily visiting service. Our minimum booking period is strictly one week.

Simply Sitting meets with homeowners at their property, at a mutually convenient time, before suggesting a housesitter. This gives us a chance to answer questions and discuss the type of housesitter best suited to the homeowner’s personal needs.

Simply Sitting encourages homeowners to meet with their suggested housesitter prior to departure, to discuss all aspects of their requirements. We provide a Task Sheet for the homeowner to complete so that their housesitter has all the detailed information they need at their fingertips.

During the homeowner’s absence, Simply Sitting is in regular contact with the housesitter.
