We need a house sitter

North Coast - Northern Rivers

Samantha

We are looking for an amazing sitter/s to look after our three puppas, and two cats and home while we are away.
We live in a 1930's Restored Church on 16 Acres in Tatham NSW. The house has 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and downstairs laundry with washer and dryer and a nice meandering walking path cut through the grounds.
We have newly installed aircon/heating
It is a peaceful house to be in, in a beautiful country area.
Wifi, phone service, Optus TV with Netflix and Stan, fire and gas heater, heaters for bedroom and bathrooms.
There are no shops within walking distance, so a car is a must - however you will see lots of cows, open spaces and fields and maybe even a donkey or Koala.
The property is within short driving distance of a numbers of towns inc: Lismore approx. 20mins, Casino approx. 20 mins, Evans Head approx 30 mins, Ballina in 40mins and Byron Bay in approx. 1 hour. In Lismore and Casino you will find your closest supermarkets, a shopping centre, swimming pool, cafes, restaurants, art gallery and cinema. Evans Head has gorgeous beaches and swimming holes and Byron Bay is simply Byron Bay.
This is a great place to be for someone or a couple who want some peace and quiet, enjoy staying in different areas and experiencing a different lifestyle. It would be a great place to do some writing or painting, work from home, do no work but lots of relaxing, enjoy walks in the garden and snuggle with a cutie cat. We are looking for some one to
- Provide our Cat Monkey with company, love, cuddles and strokes. Someone will need to be happy to sleep with Monkey she loves sleeping with her humans.
- Feed Monkey morning and evening and give her Biscuits and fresh water every day.
- Feed and look after Indy - he is a much more independent cat than monkey and venture outside. He has grown up with the dogs and they love to play together.
- Look after our puppas
- The puppas will need walks, toilet breaks, play and lots of love. We walk the dogs around our property.
- We have a full fenced toileting area for the dogs for day and night however they do not use this for play or exercise.
- Wednesday is a Labradoodle and needs brushing every day and more regular baths than our other dogs. However a full groom will take place before your arrival.
- The puppas can be left at home alone, we leave them Kongs and a snuffle mat.
- Be prepared to take the dogs to the vet if required and give medicine if required. Currently all our babies and well and healthy and have all of their vaccines etc up to date.
- Keep the house neat and Tidy and in the same state that we left it in.
- Take the bins out fornightly
- Return the house as we left it with a happy fur family.
- Enjoy the space, feel at home and love our fur babies.

We have three dogs one of whom is in teenage stage and LOVES attention so be prepared to have a furry best friend, shadow and constant play companion.

- We have a property maintence manager Will who will be on site at times to keep on top of anything that needs doing. You will be notified when he will be on site and we can arrange a pre meeting if necessary. Will has been with us for over a year now and we have had previous housesitters here with Will and this has always worked.

- We will ensure the property is left mowed and cleaned before your arrival and can have the lawns mowed whilst we are away if necessary.

- Please note this is a heritage building so not a new build! It has its quirks but if anything breaks we will make sure we have people you can contact to fix things and we will ensure any issues are paid for and resolved as quickly as possible.

My partner Clare and I are always happy to house sit for Sam and David when ever we can. They are such kind and generous people and we are both greatful to have meet them. The furry family has become like a second family to Clare and I. The 3 dogs are so loving and fun to hang out with and play fetch. All with very unique quirks and personalities. The 2 cats are no different. Adventurous Indy always curious and little monkey cute as hell. We love the space here and hope to continue to have ... MORE
 
DANIEL & CLARE (Jul 2024 - 3 nights - 1 of 2 endorsements from this sitter )
Wow what a beautiful stay this was. Sam and Dav were so lovely to communicate with and made sure we were comfortable and could contact at anytime we had questions. The home was so unique and quirky being an old heritage church/chapel. Beautiful warm wood tones and sparkling chapel windows. The land was a treat to explore with mowed walkway and duck pond. Now the best part of our stay, the fur babies! It was such a joy getting to know each one and there personalities... All so different yet they ... MORE

We had one of the best housesitting in a long time. Dexter, Twiggy and Monkey were such a joy to look after, Sam and David have to be congratulated on how they have put so much care into their pets. Would recommend anyone to care for these pets, the dwelling is an old church was a joy to experience this kind of living.

This was an idyllic location for a housesit enjoying the lovely peaceful countryside over Easter in NSW Northern Rivers. Sam and David were our generous hosts who gave us the run of their amazing house and property. Princess Monkey has impeccable behaviour, loves company and was a delight to look after. Her favourite activities were relaxing on her cushion bed, going on adventures on the property, feed time or just following us around the house. She is a very adorable cat. Thankyou Sam and ...

PAUL AND THERESE (Apr 2019 - 5 days)
Wow! I think I said it 100 times in the first few days I spent there. It is an amazing space to spend some time in. It's an old renovated church. It has all the basic necessities + a few extras. Monkey the cat is in charge & getting to know her has been a lot of fun. She is very affectionate & will often follow you around wanting to be part of whatever your doing. Apart from Monkey my time there was spent mostly relaxing, reading, listening to podcast or just doing the Netflix thing. If ... MORE
