We need a house sitter

Canberra - Inner North

Elizabeth

I am looking for a responsible single person or couple to look after my small 3-bedroom house with garden in Canberra over Christmas and New Year. It's a neat and tidy, sunny house in a nice suburb close to shops and public transport, and easily accessible from the Federal Highway and airport. I have carpet in the bedrooms, tiles in the hallway, bathroom, and kitchen, heating/cooling throughout and good security arrangements including an alarm system. The house sitter will have the use of the spare bedroom, which has a QS bed, built in robe and cat door (entrance to the magnificent catio). I have a covered deck at the back overlooking the garden, which is great for entertaining. Parking is off street in the driveway and I have a single carport. I have NBN internet, which is available for your use, and Google chromecast so you can stream to the TV.

I have two friendly and loving indoor kitties who need to be fed once a day and provided fresh water. Their kitty litter also needs to be maintained, though they both prefer to go outdoors (in their catio) where possible. One is more playful than the other, so if you like to play he will love that. The other is more of a lap cat, so if you like that she will be in your lap without much encouragement.

A couple of indoor pot plants needs occasional watering, as do a few outdoor pot plants. Depending on the rainfall some garden beds may also need watering and the lawn may need to be mown (I have everything needed for this).

I live walking distance from two nature reserves, and close to a bikeway as well, which is great for the outdoors or birding enthusiast. Nothing is too far away, including many restaurants and cafes, a couple of supermarkets, and the EPIC farmer's market held every Saturday. It's a great place to explore Canberra from!

Had a wonderful seven day stay at Elizabeth's Canberra home . The two cats are easy to care for and very friendly . The house is very comfortable and very clean and organised . Communication with Elizabeth was easy .

Thanks Elizabeth for this sweet house sit. I felt very comfortable with Elizabeth from the start and the cats were good company, especially Tammy who assigned me to be her personal assistant and best friend for the week! 😝 I esp like that they had a cat run so could come and go as they pleased. I hope to house sit with them again!

Thanks Sam, it's always good to know that one or both have a new back up slave to cater to their every need! I hope the move goes well :)
I enjoyed my house sit for Liz and would recommend her to other house sitters. Her house is well appointed, nice and sunny and had everything I needed, and was in a very quiet location with convenient access to nearby shops. Her two cats are lovely, genuine characters and were a lot of fun to engage with or just snuggle up with on the couch. Liz was very obliging, gave great instructions on how everything worked and communicated very well if I had any issues.

Thanks so much David, that is very generous of you. I'm quite convinced my cats didn't want you to leave at the end and I hope you can sit for me again soon!
We would like to thank Liz for a great house sit, Scotch and Tammy are friendly easy to care for cats, Liz’s home was very clean and comfortable with a well stocked vegetable garden, communication was excellent and easy to follow instructions were written down, We would definitely like to help with this house sit again if it became available. Regards Peter and Shayne.
