Fountaindale, New South Wales

About this house sitting position in Fountaindale

I am looking for a lovely house sitter who loves cats, preferably a solo older lady with a calm demeanour who is used to anxious feline temperaments, who would like to rest and relax with my 6 cats on a beautiful, serene, shared 3.5 acre property. Non smoker, non or social drinker.
Westfield is just a 10 minute drive away, and you’ll be 20 minutes drive from the beach, however you’ll feel like you’re away from it all in the country in our secluded hideaway of a home. There are so many spaces to sit and read a book, do a puzzle, have a picnic, meditate, swim or laze by the pool etc. The birds are the only rowdy noises around. Lots of kookaburras and natives. You’ll also spot kangaroos, wallabies, maybe a fox or two, and if you’re lucky our little echidna family who snuffle through the grass from time to time.
I am looking for someone who really understands cats and is ok with 6. My 2 little feline boys can get anxious with new people and may spray in a few places for a day or two as they adjust to having you around (tile floors =easy clean up) , but with patience and understanding they love attention and will accompany you around the house and enjoy hanging out on your lap. You may be lucky and it may not happen at all, but patience for this is is a must as if you get angry at them, their anxiety increases. The 2 older feline girls and the 1 year olds- tortie girl and little black boy are love bugs, though you may not see Scarlett much at all as she could hide until meal times, and all 6 love to play - when they feel like it. If you “speak cat” you’ll understand :-) They are indoor only cats, with a couple of enclosed outdoor zones. They are usually fed morning and evening around 6-6:30pm and I scoop their litters just after they’ve eaten. I would love you to send me any cute pics or videos you get of them while I’m away.
My mother lives in a separate house next door, so if there are any questions help is just a door knock away.
I have Netflix, Stan, Prime and Disney plus logged in and wifi available. It’s a Google house, so voice commands are also possible for the tech savvy.
I am happy for you to use anything in the pantry, as long as you leave me a note so I know what to replace.
Security cameras- There’s one out the front, one on the cat zone out back and one in the main bedroom on the other side of the house from where you’re staying (I check in occasionally to watch the cats laying in the window in the sun- #crazycatperson!). I usually walk you through the locations of these on the pre-booking visit. Payment of $200 after you’ve stayed and I’ve returned to thank you for your care, especially of my anxious little tabby boys. Read more...
