About this house sitting position in Bruce

Hello! I have a light-filled one bedroom apartment in Bruce, with a view of the gum trees next door (one of my favourite things due to the birds!). While the unit is on the second floor, there is an elevator and underground parking.

The apartment itself has everything - washer, dryer, air con/heater, dishwasher, oven/stove etc - even a coffee machine you're welcome to use! The building has a large BBQ area and swimming pool open to residents, and the IGA and cafes/restaurants are around the corner.

Though not an old man in years, Walter is an old man in nature. I foster failed him a few years ago, he's now 6-ish (and a hefty 7kg) and is gentle with maybe 2-3 brain cells in a good day. He's super sweet and loves sitting out on the balcony in the sun, being scared by the birdies out there.

He tolerates foster siblings, sulking and sighing for several days before realising he gets to eat their food - at which point he forgets to be angry. He would be fine visiting with another chill cat, or a dog that can respect his space.

Any questions please feel free to reach out! My other arrangements fel through so now I'm stressing for Sir Walter. He is a le to stay with friends from 13-22 December, meaning there's flexibility for your start date

Thanks Joan and Graham for taking such good care of my place, and of Walter! It gives me great comfort to know that he was well loved in my absence. An extra thanks to Graham for caring for the plants - the tomatoes, basil and mint looked amazing upon my return! Can't say the same after 2 weeks in my care sadly :D
