About this house sitting position in Upwey

We are looking for someone to love our pets and take care of our home while we are away for a week at the snow.

We live in a beautiful treehouse home in Upwey- half an acre on a slopped lot in a quiet court. Its a 2 level home with sunken lounge, fireplace and deck looking out to abundant big gum trees and tree ferns. It's a large 4 bedroom home.

We have beautiful 7 year old Burmese named Mimi and her side kick Otto, also a Burmese who is 3. They love a pat, a warm place to sleep and need food morning and night. Mimi and Otto take a trip outside early mornings or late ant night but otherwise are inside, so play time with them keeps them happy.

Kookaburras, King Parrots, Cockatoos and rosellas are daily visitors and will happily come onto the back deck to say hello. Sometimes I pop pumpkin or sunflower seeds out for them to nibble on too.

It's a beautiful quiet spot to live.

We are 3 mins drive to Upwey shops with some nice cafes & restaurants and a good- small IGA.

We are 5 minutes drive to larger shops in both Belgrave and Upper Ferntree Gully and the train station at Upwey is an 8 minute walk and will take you direclty into Melbourne city (about a 45 min ride)

Knox Westfield Shopping centre is about a 12 minute drive with a great array of shops and restaurants.

Being in the Dandenong Ranges there are many spectacular walks and hikes, look outs and villages dotted through the mountains.

“Thank you Anna, Josh and family for allowing me to spend time with Mimi and Otto; they are the smoochiest and most playful cats I’ve ever met, and I felt the love! Your home is beautiful and in a wonderful location, and all the trees and plants inside and out made for a very relaxing stay. Thank you Anna for the clear communication, you are a very easy and positive person to interact with. I hope that you’ll think of me the next time you need a kitty cat carer and house sitter, I’d love to spend more time with Mimi and Otto!”

Thank you dear Rose!! We were so happy we found you to come and stay and spend time with Mimi and Otto! I'd happily recommend you to anyone looking for a lovely, caring, warm-hearted, reliable person to care for their beloved animals, plants and home! We will be in touch again I'm sure. 🦋🧡

“ A beautiful house in beautiful surroundings, and gorgeous pets. Anna is very welcoming and easy to talk to. The kitties are very outgoing. Oscar needs a good cuddle on the sofa at night to settle him. The only issue was that Anna changed the finish date (by one day) a couple of times quite last minute, so that threw me out of whack a bit with my packing. But overall a good experience. 10/8 - 17/8.”

“Just finished our sit at Anna and Josh's lovely home in Upwey. Oscar the 13 year old Australian Bulldog needed regular reassurance but a pat, scratch and belly rub did the trick. Otto and Mimi the 2 beautiful Burmese cats were extremely friendly and loved a cuddle and a scratch. Their home is nestled amongst the trees in a lovely quiet location near local shops, cafes and supermarkets. My daughter and I enjoyed our time there.”
