About this house sitting position in Bauple

Hello Brenda, I’m on acreage away from the township. The house is newly renovated. It’s 131 years old in the true tradition of a Queenslander. It’s single story. Wonderfully comfortable. The grounds are equally beautiful with many large trees. I have a black and white border collie cross, Jesso. She is very friendly and loves everyone. She gets frightened in storms and likes to come in under my bed.
There’s a peacock family with 3 peahens and 4 males. I’m surrounded by farms with my own pocket of bush which surrounds the house yard so lots of wildlife come and go. It’s a very secure property with 2 locked gates.
The wildlife here includes some pythons who have lived here for years.
I have a ride on mower but for such a short time I don’t expect any mowing to be necessary but some various plants may need watering. I don’t expect any gardening to be done either but it would be good to pick up some fallen palm branches.
The house is super easy to keep neat and tidy. I’m hoping you might find this house sit something you might be interested in. Cheers Jayne

“I thoroughly enjoyed house sitting for Jayne in beautiful Bauple. Her renovated Queenslander home is peaceful, comfortable, and surrounded by stunning grounds and wildlife, making it a very special place to stay. Jayne was welcoming, friendly, and easy to communicate with from the beginning. Her instructions were clear, and everything was well organised, which made caring for the property and animals very straightforward. Jesso was an absolute pleasure to look after — such a friendly and loving dog. I also enjoyed caring for the peacock family and seeing the local wildlife around the property. The home and acreage are secure, well maintained, and very relaxing for anyone who enjoys nature and a quiet rural setting. I would happily house sit for Jayne again and highly recommend her to other sitters. ”

“Jayne and Jesso ( the dog) Are a great team. Jesso is such a good girl and likes to please, she has her rituals so I made sure I kept them up for her and she was happy and comfortable in my company. Jayne is such a beautiful warm person and I enjoyed our conversations, she left good clear easy to follow instructions on care for both home and Jesso. Such a beautiful property in its location and the 18th century character Queensland style home is amazing! The time I spent there just flew by and I would recommend it to any other home minders as I would return for another homemind anytime. Rob.”
