About this house sitting position in Illawong

We realise this is a short stay and hopefully someone ‘passing through’ may enjoy some creature comforts for a few nights and some furry friends to keep company.

Our home is in Illawong and is a comfortable, modern 5 bedroom home with public transport outside the door to either Sutherland or Padstow stations.

PLEASE NOTE: we legally have to share we have security cameras - and we will turn off the internal cameras (which are for home insurance purposes) when our house sitters are in residence! :)

The local shops are a 10 minute walk with a Coles and Padstow a 15 minute bus trip with many shops to meet your needs.

We have a cinema room that seats six (more room on the floor!) a pool and spa, a fire pit which is fabulous (photo enclosed), modern bathroom and kitchen and room to get outside, with lots of walking tracks and fire trail in the next street.

Pets & farm animals

We need a sitter that is happy to have a fiesty, but very loving Jack Russell, Mavis, and an enthusiastic love bomb, 3 legged Frenchie called Frankie. They love a walk (twice a day is a bonus!) and Frankie has a stroller/pram (I know... we've become those people!!) because she can't walk endlessly, as Mavis can, given Frankie's ability to overheat and she just gets tired going around on three legs! They love the beach, and it would be awesome if you are brave enough to take them to the beach. Mavis loves to chase the ball (when she feels like it) and Frankie becomes possessed chasing big dogs. You will have to scoop her up and carry her off the sand.... if you decide to head to Kyeemagh or Kurnell.
Both animals like company and given the guest bedroom is downstairs, it's likely no one will be upstairs. They need feeding morning and night and are pretty self sufficient if you're out during the day. They do love company and love being patted and played with.

Finally, if you need an extra night before or after the sit, we can discuss it. Thanks, Meredith and Geoff

5 stars stars
“We had a lovely time looking after cheeky Mavis and Frankie while their parents enjoyed some well deserved time away. The house is well located in a beautiful area with lots of lovely walks and things to do nearby. Meredith and Geoff are warm and welcoming with good communication. They had made space for us to use in the kitchen, fridge, bathroom and our own large bedroom. The house is beautifully spacious and there was nothing more we could have wanted. We would happily sit for them again if we're available and in the area.”

Thanks Georgie & Peter We appreciate the care you took, the love you have for animals and that you managed with aplomb, the busy and haughty Mavis and Frankie, who’s very happy but not particularly bright! I’d happily recommend you as A++ house sitters. Thank you 🙏

“Frankie and Mavis were an absolute joy to look after! They are the sweetest cuddles dogs and I loved walking them through the beautiful trails in Illawong. Meredith and Geoff were so great and accommodating and we loved staying there.”
