About this house sitting position in Eltham

Re-listed as the confirmed sitter pulled out of our sit as they had an offer from a pre-existing client after already accepting out sit.

3 story chalet style home set on 3 acres near the Yarra river in Eltham. We have 2 chickens and 2 dogs (Herbie - a 6 year old Kelpie Cross & Stella - a 3 year old Border Collie Cross. We require you to care for our pets while living in our home.

The chickens are in a fox proof enclosure and require their feed and water to be topped up and coop cleaned. You of course a welcome to enjoy their eggs.

Our dogs are fed 2 times a day with dry food and are happiest when walked daily - even just a short stroll. Stella loves her humans and will hang out with you. She will not leave the property even if the gate is left open and loves to be pat by walkers who pass by.

Herbie is also loving but loves to roam so needs to be on a rope run when outside. He also loves being on a long lead guarding the chickens. Both dogs also spend time inside hanging out and sleep indoors. On warmer days they are happy to chill indoors or in the shade and cool down in the Yarra or the pond on our property.

We have a self contained unit in an area of the main house or you are welcome to use our main living areas to make yourself at home. Our property backs on to Yarra parkland and is super peaceful with great neighbors. There is loads of room for a caravan if you have one to store while here (under cover). The Yarra Valley is not far and Melbourne city is an easy train ride from Eltham.

We have a vegie patch you are welcome to tend to (or not) and at this time of year the garden needs little maintenance so you can just enjoy being surrounded by nature. We have some indoor plants that we would love some water on occasion. These can be positioned in one spot to make it easy to do so. Read more...
