Farm Sitters - Australia is the first business of it's kind totally dedicated to the needs of rural and regional Australia. You can register with us to obtain farm-sitting positions anywhere in Australia.
If you are looking for something a little different, a return to your farming roots, filling in a bit of time or just feel the need to want to help people of rural Australia, then farm sitting is for you.
As a farm sitter, you live in someone else's home and look after their property while they're away. You are expected to care for any pets, keep the home clean and tidy, and maintain the plants/garden. Depending on your agreement with your host you may be asked to check stock waters, fences and livestock and perform general maintenance. Above all, you provide great security for the client's home and property simply by being there.
What's in it for you?
Heaps! The opportunity to get out of town for awhile, get back to your roots, enjoy good clean country living, help someone in need, stay in a fully furnished homestead and earn some money at the same time!
The Farm Sitters - Australia database is the best place to advertise your farm- sitting services and to access potential farm sits.
Farm Sitters - Australia works because we know the market and target your advertising for you. We target those property owners most likely to need a farm sitter. Your details are only accessible by people who are genuinely looking for someone like you.
Once your form has been processed, your details will be included on the Farm Sitters - Australia database for 12 months, and we will send you a security pass to access the database of potential farm sits plus a proof copy of your advertisement.
Not using the Internet yet? Don't worry we know some people don't have access or are not that way inclined. We maintain a hard copy database with all the relevant information included.
The details of farm sitters registered with Farm Sitters - Australia are only available to members of Farm Sitters - Australia. Members pay a fee to access the database of farm sitters. This ensures that all enquiries are genuine.
When a property owner calls us looking for a suitable farm sitter, they are required to become members of Farm Sitters - Australia. Membership includes the issue of a security pass that allows the property owner to view details of all farm sitters that are registered.

Farm Sitters - Australia is simply an information provider, we do not individually match farm sitters with property owners. After confirmation of membership and receipt of security pass it is up to the property owner to select their own farm sitter or for you, as a farm sitter, to select a position that suits you. From there you can negotiate mutually suitable terms and conditions.

Each farm sitter has the same amount of space to advertise, and you are free to say or offer whatever you wish in your advertisement.
The Farm Sitters - Australia database is updated on a regular basis. Therefore your advertisement can begin working for you from the day we receive your Registration Form and payment.
