I have been a housesitter myself, and love the benefit of having someone 'in house'. My puppy is going to the kennels so we just need someone to be 'home and around'. If you want a relaxing few days - lovely verandah to sit and dream on; Riverlink close by for shopping; high speed broadband; foxtel IQ (the whole package) then this is for you.
No plants to water, nothing to do except enjoy!
I must add (since it is apparently an issue with some sitters and will save time and energy) that I am a tarot reader/astrologer and one room in the house is set up for clients, and of course there are crystals, books etc. This house may not be comfortable for some people.
