We need a house sitter

Sydney - Upper North Shore

Zoe

Homely 3bed 1.5bath house in suburban Forestville in Sydney's Northern Beaches, on the edge of the Garigal National Park. Main bedroom has a king size bed, one bedrooms has king single, one bedroom has a double. Bathroom has a shower and separate bath, toilet is separate to the bathroom. We have a large sundrenched deck, with a bbq and outdoor furniture. Our home is bright and comfortable, definitely not the most modern but it makes a lovely home.

We have a bouncy playful 4.5yo schnoodle and a 8yo radgoll cat (who keeps mostly to herself).

Our dog (Nero) has a daily walk (30 minutes please) or a trip to one of the local dog parks. He loves to play with his toys at home and loves a wrestling game followed by a cuddle in the evening. He grazes on dry kibble (which should be topped up each day) and has one wet meal (around 5pm or later) in the evenings - home cooked, i'll prep before we leave :) Nero sleeps in a crate in the main bedroom. He is pretty good on the lead, but can sometimes pull (which isnt a terrible thing up the local hills!). He loves company, so someone who is able to be home a lot is ideal.

The cat (Teddie) has a tin each evening, and asks for a pat every now and then. She and Nero don't get along that well.

We also have fish, which need a sprinkle of food every other day.

We have some small spiny leaf insects which just need a spray with a water bottle through their tank daily, and a top up of eucalyptus leaves from local trees every few days.

We have a few (maybe 5?) indoor plants which i'd love you to water, and appreciate if you could hose the lawn/garden on hot days. We aren’t bothered about mowing, but if you could hose the plants that’d be fab.

Our home is on a steep block with 35 stairs to access the front door. We have a fortnightly cleaner (Thursdays) and ask you leave the house in a similar condition as you found it!

Please reach out if this suits you :)

We had a wonderful time with Nero, Teddy and the fish in Zoe's beautiful home. It was a lovely lil get away for us. Nero was very cuddly and came for pats often, which was cute. He enjoyed playing and our walks and made us laugh with his treat button. The cat Teddy was out and about for most of our petsit and we didn't see her much, yet when she was around we got a few nice moments with her. Zoe was a clear communicator, welcoming and kind. The house notes were helpful and her home is very ... MORE

I spent a wonderful fortnight with Nero and Teddie. Nero is a sweet, little dog, loves his walks, car trips, cheese treats, tummy rubs and sleeping with you on the bed. Teddie announces herself as she enters a room and Nero excitedly runs to greet her. She sleeps most of the day and loves to laze in the sun. Lots of great dog parks, cafes, walks and shops nearby. Fish were well behaved. Locals are very friendly, lots of bunnies and bush turkeys in the area. Being the northern beaches, ... MORE
