About this house sitting position in HOWARD QLD 4659

We are looking for a quiet single person to mainly care for our 10 year old cat, Pippin. No children, sorry.
We are on 26 acres and enjoy the birds, kangaroos and any wildlife that chooses to visit us.
Pippin is very timid of strangers so we need someone that has a quiet nature and is sensitive to his needs and anxiety. He's basically an inside cat. We usually let him out for a couple of hours in the evening, but until he gets familiar with you, he will need to be confined to the house 24/7. He is litter-box trained but he only uses this when he is locked up 24/7, otherwise he's an outside loo boy.
I also have a very friendly, quiet quarterhorse, Flicker. She is 21 years old, in very good condition and only needs a slice of bread or a carrot/apple in the morning & a small feed in the evening.
Depending on weather, we may need our gardens, citrus trees & potted plants watered. You are welcome to the produce from them while we are away.
Definitely no smoking inside but can smoke outside as long as butts are disposed of responsibly.
We have a lovely large eco-friendly home in a very safe area. 1km to our local township of Howard that has all the shops you need, or an easy 30 minute drive to Hervey Bay. Either Maryborough or Childers are only about 20 minutes away and Bundaberg about an hour. We have a golf course over the road from us.
We have awesome quiet beaches with calm waters which are great for swimming, walking, fishing or kayaking. Burrum Heads and Toogoom beaches are our closest.
We have an airbnb cabin but you won't be required to do anything there. There will be a regular guest staying for her work purposes but she is very quiet, pleasant and independent. She has use of the laundry in the main house once a week.
You can choose between 2 spare bedrooms - one has a double bed and the other has a queen bed. Picture is of double bedroom. We keep our house and grounds neat, clean and tidy.
There is a bbq area with a firepit overlooking our dam and back paddocks.
We can be flexible on dates for the right sitter.
Ideally, we would love to have a sitter who can do shortish stays now & again to make going away less stressful for Pippin, but this isn't a necessity.
The tilt train stops in Howard as well.
We have Foxtel, Prime, Netflix, Stan, and NBN wifi.
