Paddington, Queensland

About this house sitting position in Paddington

I have a comfortable 3-bedroom townhouse in a quiet and friendly complex a short walk from the cafes, bars and shops in Paddington and Rosalie.

My guest bedroom (for you) has a queen bed, en suite, balcony and tv set up for streaming - though of course you have full use of the lounge room etc downstairs.

There is air conditioning, access to the shared swimming pool, and use of my garage (one car).
I have fresh herbs in the courtyard garden and lots of nice places to sit in sun or shade - plus my neighbours are all lovely ☺️

The main feature of your housesitting for me will be hanging out with Maggie, an eight-year old, gentle border collie. She was raised by a very lazy labrador so she knows how to sleep the day (and night) away but we also live in a great area for walking and go out every day for a good sniff-and-stroll.

Maggie has some arthritis so her days of leaping after tennis balls are over but she can easily manage a neighbourhood walk or - up to you - any of the tracks around nearby Mt Coot-tha. She is cafe-trained and loves to get out. She takes a simple medicine daily to make her more comfortable.

The house is pretty easy care and I have a fortnightly cleaner so will alert you if they come during your stay.

The laundry is on the basement/garage level and the bathrooms are on the top/bedroom floor, so you need to be ok with stairs.

There is also plenty of visitor parking, and buses to the city and elsewhere run regularly along Latrobe Terrace, a short walk from here. Outside of surge pricing, an Uber or taxi to the city or Southbank is usually less than $20.

Plenty of streaming channel options on the TVs as well as fast internet. I used to work from home so there is a full office set up in case that is part of your world too.

Previous sitters welcome to apply! We appreciate you 😁

I will be in Sydney for the arrival of my first grandbaby!! As my note under available dates says, it may be possible to extend your stay a few days if you need to fill in between sits, but you must be able to cover the minimum time of 14-23 November.

Please message me with any questions, I’d love to hear from you. Read more...
