About this house sitting position in Bentley Park

We are seeking a reliable and responsible house sitter, with no pets, to care for our home in the south of the Cairns area for 2.5 months.

Our home is located 16 km south of Cairns in a quiet residential neighbourhood, offering mountain and rainforest views. The house is mostly flat, with just a few small steps at the exits, walk in shower, separate bath, and there are extensive flat walking and bike tracks nearby.

It would be convenient for sitters to have a car. There is garage parking for one car. Public transport is limited, and walking can be difficult during hot weather. The nearest bus stop is 300 metres away, with supermarkets and shopping centres located 2.5 km (Sugarworld), 6.4 km (Mount Sheridan), and 17 km (Cairns Central).

While we have no pets, the home features a pool that requires monitoring. A professional pool service attends on the last Monday of each month. The garden is medium-sized and private, surrounding the house with shrubs and fruit trees that require hand watering. Lawn mowing is carried out fortnightly by a service. A security system is installed for peace of mind.

The house sitter’s role includes maintaining and monitoring the home and garden, promptly reporting any issues, and ensuring everything runs smoothly during our absence. We are looking for someone trustworthy, security-conscious, proactive in communication, and with demonstrated experience in house sitting or property care.

Applicants should have no pets or children staying at the home, and the property is non-smoking. Priority will be given to Australian residents, and we can only respond to applicants who clearly demonstrate relevant experience. Read more...
