We need a house sitter

Central Coast - Mackay & Whitsundays

Palmyr

Hi there!

Whitsundays - Airlie Beach

Looking for a single female or quiet couple to look after our house and pets. (No party policy as our cats may run away)

Your profile:

Animal lover! Willing to play with the cats and spend time with them. Clean and tidy. Savvy guest: we run mostly on solar panels and aim to use most of appliances during the day (washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, oven ...) Making sure the lights are off when you don't need them and that not all appliances are all running at the same time.

Our cats don't like when we go away, especially 2 of them. They can feel stressed so you'll need to be patient and gentle with them. You'll also need to be willing to wait for them to come home in the evening. They like to wonder around the neighbourhood but cannot spend the night outside. They usually come back pretty quickly when we call them.
The guinea pig is very easy to look after and she is spoiled. We do not use haye for her bedding but tea towels that need to be changed daily and handwashed (to not soil the washing machine). She likes spending time on the grass but you'll need to keep an eye on her (Birds and snakes can be around). She has to be locked in her hutch at night time.

House features:
- Available to you: Double bed in our son's bedroom and own bathroom
- Laundry
- Fully equipped kitchen
- TV/Wifi
- Swimming pool with lounge chairs
- BBQ
- Fenced backyard

Food and toiletries are not included. We can provide bath towels.
Only cleaning products are provided.

There is everything you need!

Pets:
- 3 cats: 1 male and 2 females under 6 years old, very affectionate.
Require to have their outdoor time while you are at home.

- 1 Guinea pigs: female
The cage needs to be kept clean and food has to be available at all times.
A perfect hygiene is essential so she doesn't get sick. It also helps keeping bugs away.

Garden:
- Lawn will be mowed before our departure. If it gets out of control while we are away we would kindly ask that you mow it once.

Pool:
- Make sure it doesn't overflow after heavy rains, remove leaves and insects.

Full details about what needs to be done upon request.

The house will be clean and tidy and we would love to have it back in the same condition when we return.

We would like to meet you prior to leaving so we can go through everything with you and introduce you to the cats.

Our pets are our babies and we need an animal lover to look after them, they have their routine and habits and you will need to follow instructions so they don't feel stressed. They are not used to be with other people.

Feel free to contact us for more details!

Thank you for reading :)

We really enjoyed our time looking after 3 cats, a guinea pig and the home. Each of the cats have distinct personalities with Bagheera being very affectionate, enjoying spending time with us. Mokka and Dingo were apprehensive/aloof but became more accustomed to us. They were all very easily to look after. The guinea pig was just too cute! We enjoyed watching her meticulously eating almost constantly and giving her cuddles. She needs to be moved from her outside day to her inside night hutch ... MORE

I love sitting for Palmyr and her family. They are generous hosts and very easy to get along with. Her pets are great and no trouble at all. The house is neat, clean and tidy. And the area is magnificent. I would highly recommend sitting for Palmyr if you get the chance.
