About this house sitting position in Dandenong Ranges
My partner and I are looking for a lovely and experienced person/couple to look after our home, our Kelpie X Border Collie and our two chooks in Kallista in the Dandenong Ranges, for all of September.
Our block is a flat quarter acre, with lush gardens backing onto a huge Mountain Ash forest. We live only a short walk from a couple of cafes, a lovely general store (with much wine and cheese!), a wood fire pizza place, and a couple of other cute chops. There are dozens of walking tracks nearby, showcasing the amazing local temperate rainforests and wildlife.
We have two chooks and a Kelpie X Border Collie (Taika), everyone's favourite dog. A gentle and happy boy, who loves all living things. He has liver disease but it's completely under control - all he needs are a couple of pills each evening (we stuff them inside balls of cheese and he gulps them down with no hesitation), regular walks and lots of cuddles on the couch.
Salma and Dot are two 5 year old chooks, who've finished laying and are settling into their later years. They free-range in the garden during the day, and get tucked into their coop each night.
Our home is warm and cosy, filled with books, art and an ever growing record collection.
We'd love to find an experienced house sitter/house sitting couple to take care of our home and beloved pets - someone who will love the opportunity to live amongst the glorious nature of the Dandenongs!
Cheers, looking forward to hearing from you. Read more...

Reviews for Lucy
We loved everything about our stay, the forest, the birds, the many amazing cafes and restaurants, but mostly just enjoyed being in their home, relaxing in the garden with Taika the Kelpie cross and the two chickens, Dot and Selma.
Taika has such a beautiful nature, he is affectionate and easy going, we absolutely loved his company, and watching Dot and Selma potter about in the garden was so relaxing (plus they will make you laugh!)
We feel very lucky to have been given the opportunity to enjoy a little of the magic Lucy and Ali have created, and cannot recommend this "hills house- sit" enough.
