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, or your own mobile accommodation, and look after their property while they are away. You are expected to care for any pets, keep the home clean and tidy, and maintain the garden. Depending on your agreement with the farm owner 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 application has been processed, your details will be included on the Farm Sitters – Australia database for 12 months, and you can access the database of potential farm sits using your password.

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.

Farm Sitters – Australia is simply an information provider. We do not individually match Farm Sitters with property owners. After confirmation of membership 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.

Farm Sitters – Australia does not endorse or recommend individual Farm Sitters. Everyone on the Farm Sitters – Australia database has equal opportunity to be selected. 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 Membership application and payment.
