About this house sitting position in Bangalee

We're looking for someone to mind our pets and home for a few days in the upcoming school holidays. We are situated ten minutes from Nowra's city centre (about an hour from Wollongong) on a half acre block with good access and parking, next to a reserve. 20 mins to beaches and close to river. Stumbling distance to local boutique winery, 5 mins' drive to closest shops.

4Br, 2 bathroom house so there is room for a family to come and have a little housesitting holiday. There are books and DVDs and game consoles here for youngsters, as well as a big back yard, cricket and baseball gear and lots of soccer balls.

Indoors we have 2 cats. They are 9 year old sisters who don't know they aren't human. They need daily food and water, and litter gets changed twice a week. They are pretty easy care and one is particularly affectionate.

Outside we have 4 chooks (plus "Spare" who lives next door but thinks she lives here), 4 quail, and a few fish in a pond. Fish only need to be fed every couple of days; quail and chooks need clean water & some food daily. We'll make sure we're well stocked up for everyone before we go. Chooks are allowed to free range or go into a run when we are home, but their coop is big enough that they could easily remain in it for the duration of the homestay if you prefer.

We also have a vege patche, compost and a worm farm which you can play with or ignore (worms may just need to be dampened down once or twice during that time). None of this is particularly time consuming; I can easily deal with all animals' and plants' need in under half an hour a day when I'm focused. :)

It's quite a fun place to live; a bit of a lifestyle block, but not removed from civilisation.

Reviews for Kimberley

5 stars stars
“Hi Kimberley and Tony. Thank you for your wonderful review. It was a pleasure and privilege to look after Scout and your cheeky chooks in beautiful Bangalee. Prospective house and pet sitters, Bangalee is a situated at the foot of Cambewarra Mountain and is a great place to escape to the country. Lots to do all around the area including visiting local zoo, fishing, boating, surfing, bushwalking and, of course, wineries and shopping in nearby Berry and Nowra. Looking after Scout was fun and the chooks provided lots of yummy eggs.
Thanks Kimberley and Tony for sharing your special pets and home.
