We need a house sitter

Brisbane - Outer Northern Suburbs

Nina

Looking for a housesitter for 2 nights (3 days), Thu 21 and Fri 22 November until late afternoon Sat 23 November, 2024 (or can leave Saturday morning) to look after one friendly cat.

Coco is an affectionate, self-sufficient tortoiseshell female cat; home is 3-bedroom (1 bedroom is for housesitter) with spacious yard and tidy garden.

I live in a quiet street in Kippa-Ring on the Redcliffe Peninsula, north of Brisbane. It's a short drive to the beach and cafe and restaurant strip of Newport, Scarborough or Redcliffe.

With the nearby Kippa-Ring train service, there is super easy access to Brisbane City. Westfield North Lakes is also just a 15-minute drive away with Coles and Woolworths supermarkets and Kippa-Ring shopping centres/cinema even closer.

Coco is free to go outside during the day but taken inside at night.

Non-smoker only please. You'll have your own room; your bed will be a super-comfortable Wenatex orthopaedic king single mattress on a base, suitable for a single. (If a couple wishes to apply and you have your own airbed that's fine. We can remove the single mattress.)

Separate carport behind a gate gives car protection. There's space to park a medium-sized caravan off-street.

While this is only 2 nights, I do go interstate every month and this might be a start of a regular sits.

Here are two endorsements from two past housesitters:

1. ''Nina made me very welcome and was extremely organised! She had a manual prepared with all information required to make the housesit easy to manage. She even has an emergency box in case of blackouts!
Coco was an absolute delight to look after. A beautiful cat that was a joy to share my days with. Every now and then she would come inside to check on me (LOL) but spent most of her time exploring outside. She was easy to look after and I have enjoyed my 3 separate housesits over 6 weeks looking after Coco.''

2. ''Nina was a delightful host, I was welcomed to an immaculately clean home with a welcoming Coco, my beautiful housemate. My room was made perfect with fresh linen, towels and toiletries, the bed was amazing too. The kitchen also had a welcome note and information folder. Nina's home is a perfect place to stay, highly recommend, I hope to stay again.''

If you are interested in looking after my cat and home while I'm away I'd love to hear from you.

No rating Nina is a thoughtful home owner with lots of experience with house sitters. Her compendium was excellent and contained detailed, useful information. Nina used her excellent management skills and treated us with the utmost respect and allowed us to use our initiative in caring for her home. She treated us like friends. We would love to house sit for Nina and her cheeky, beautiful pussy cat Coco again.

Housesitting for Nina was great! Lovely garden, very quiet, near to the train station. Nina very kindly picked me up from the airport and dropped me back at the end of the stay, also allowing me to stay an extra night at each end, to accommodate the fact I was coming from New Zealand. In this way her generosity made the house sit easeful. And another surprise gem was the use of a bike which I could use to cycle down to the Redcliffe Markets and around the peninsula. This was a real bonus ... MORE

No rating Lovely short stay in Scarborough. Nina was great with clear and easy instructions and help, responded immediately. Coco was a beautiful cat, very easy to look after. Everything you could need. Happy to return to sit. Thanks Nina.

No rating I had a great time staying at Nina's and Coco's home. The house was very comfortable, 10 minute walk to the water and the neighbours were nice and helpful. Coco is a lovely and beautiful cat. She is very playful and I had so much fun with her. Nina also let me arrive one day earlier at her house than planned, when I didn't have a place to stay. She is very nice and I would go and stay at her house again.

No rating I had the pleasure of looking after Nina's cosy and private home a few streets back from the foreshore and popular restaurant strip in lovely Scarborough. Little Coco the Puss was no trouble at all. A little hesitant to come to me initially however after a few days she became quite trusting of me. She even slept at the end of my bed one night and had me thoroughly entertained with her playfulness in the morning. Had I'd been with her longer I'm sure we would have enjoyed each other's company ... MORE
