About this house sitting position in Highbury

We have two Burmese cats - Lily (16) and George (11). Lily is lilac (sitting on the arm of the green chair). George is chocolate (lounging on the chair). They are Indoor cats with access to our enclosed backyard. Lily has chronic kidney disease, managed by a veterinary prescribed diet , high blood pressure and arthritis but is otherwise in good health. She needs to be given a tablet daily, which is generally easy to do. George has no health issues. They don't like other animals, so we can't have guest pets.

Our home is on a hammerhead block with a 50 metre driveway on a hillside. There is bush at the back and the River Torrens Linear Park at the end of the street. It is a three bedroom, open plan living house. Our garden is tiered and easy care with an automated watering system. There is a two car garage but our cars will be stored in it. There is Uncovered parking for 2 cars.

“Helen and Phil's home is lovely, quiet and comfortable. The real treat was looking after Lily and George. Lily is an affectionate older lady and George is initially aloof but also energetic. George loves the cat pole. I would happily housesit for them again.”

“I always have a great time house sitting for Helen and Phil. They’re gracious, considerate hosts who communicate well. Their kitties, Lily and George, are smart, affectionate, easy to care for, and great company. Their comfortable home has all the mod cons and is in lovely, quiet surroundings. I highly recommend this house sit to anyone who loves sweet kitties and enjoys a quiet, easy house sit. Thanks Helen and Phil : ) ”

“We loved our stay in Helen and Phil's very comfortable and picturesque home in Highbury, with Lily and George, their two exquisitely beautiful Burmese cats whose company we enjoyed very much. They are indoor cats, well behaved and can go outside in an enclosed back garden. Easy to care for, they are intelligent and love chatting! The home has stunning views across a deep valley and Linear Park is very close, providing immersion in nature with great scenic walks. Adelaide CBD is an easy 30 minute drive or via the Oban, with an interchange just 10 minutes away. Helen and Phil were excellent hosts- friendly, supportive and always quick to respond to any questions that we asked. This house sit was a positive experience in every way and we would not hesitate to support Helen and Phil again in the future, if the opportunity arose. Peter and Susan. November 2024”
