About this house sitting position in Cowes

Cowes is a quiet seaside town on Phillip Island south of Melbourne. We live in a contemporary estate opposite the golf course. There are pleasant walking trails around the lake within the estate.

Our home is modern with all amenities. The floor coverings are a mix of floorboard and rugs in living areas, and carpet in bedrooms. There is an undercover back deck surrounded by gardens and lawn.

Maisie will be our only pet resident during this petsit. She is a small 16-year-old tortoiseshell cat in good health (at time of listing). Because of local Shire rules, she is not allowed beyond our property boundary. And she must be inside overnight.

Maisie loves moving outside for exercise and lazing in the sun when possible. We do not have a petdoor so our petsitter will enable outdoor/indoor access. Inside, she has a heatpad bed for extra warmth, which she loves in winter. She also has a dirtbox that is situated in the laundry, which she may access at night, if required. All Maisie's food and kitty litter is supplied.

Our back boundary is shared with a large 'Land for Wildlife' property and overlooks natural woodland. It is a relaxing and peaceful outlook. We provide natural food for the local wildlife; and we would love our petsitter to continue this feed with supplied provisions.

There will be no major work required to maintain the property. If the grass becomes long, we have a mower for use. Please check the letterbox on weekdays. The bin (red, green & yellow) schedule will be supplied.

If this petsit sounds like it would suit you, please make contact. It is a long petsit and we expect the sitter(s) to remain on the property each night.

Note: the photo shows Maisie with chooks - sadly, our girls have all passed.

Reviews for Madeleine (4 reviews)

5 stars stars
“Madeleine and John are incredibly kind and considerate. Teddy had some health issues while we were there and Madeleine was very easy to communicate with and provided great support throughout our time there. Maisie is an absolute sweetheart, she has her own little hiding spot, but she also loved curling up on our laps to keep us warm. Phillip Island is such a beautiful place , we loved exploring all the different beaches. We’d be more than happy to go back anytime! ”
