We need a house sitter

Northern - Townsville

Maya

Hi, I'm looking for an animal lover to look after my house and pets while my family and I are away. The house is on a 1 hectare property in Alligator Creek, half an hour south of Townsville, walking distance to the Alligator Creek section of Bowling Green Bay National Park. We have 2 dogs and lots of chickens. The dogs are very friendly and easygoing, they would love it if you spend lots of time at home with them and take them for walks but they are also fine being home alone during the day and will forgive you if you don't have time to take them for a walk. The chickens are in a pen and will just need their food and water containers checked and topped up every couple of days. They like to be let out for a few hours in the afternoon and can be left to free-range around the property and will put themselves to bed in the evening, you just need to remember to go out and shut the pen. Most of the garden is on a sprinkler system and looks after itself, you would just need to water some pot plants. In return, you get a tropical retreat with pool, WiFi and a steady supply of fresh eggs.

Geoff & Maya’s place was a delight. Set amidst the trees, beside the seasonal creek with chickens roaming each afternoon, Bella & Bonnie are beautifully natured and love being brushed. The girls just wanted to chill wherever you were. Great communication with Maya & Geoff. Easy to look after their place. Thank you for having us house sit - we loved the peace & quiet.

We really enjoyed our time with Bella, Bonnie & the chooks. It is a lovely peaceful setting & the dogs were very friendly & easy to care for. Thank you Maya for allowing us to enjoy your tranquil home.

Thank you, Maya & Geoff, for the opportunity to look after your beautiful dogs. Bonnie and Bella are a delight. They are the most affectionate and intelligent dogs I’ve ever met. And the chooks are not far behind! The chickens are tame and friendly. They kept me company in the garden and supplied me with many delicious eggs. The house is set between two seasonal streams in the foothills of the dramatic mountains of the National Park. The views on our dog walks were thrilling with clouds and ... MORE

We absolutely loved our time at Maya & Geoff's place looking after Bella & Bonnie and the chooks. The property itself has such a peaceful vibe and we found it so easy to settle in. Our three dogs got on really well with Bonnie & Bella and they all became great mates. We were sad to leave and hope to head back again someday. Maya & Geoff are lovely and were very welcoming. Thanks so much for having us.
