Kalamunda, Western Australia

About this house sitting position in Kalamunda

We have a beautiful two storey house in Kalamunda about a 5 minute drive to the town. It’s very comfortable with three bedrooms and two bathrooms and a nice big kitchen, office and living spaces. We are surrounded by trees and bird song. The house feels like a treetop retreat on 3,000 sqm.

We need someone to look after our gorgeous rescue rabbit, Fin and our 4 year old beautiful tri-coloured Border Collie, Lilka while we are away. Also need someone to water our plants and garden.

Fin is a solo rabbit who lives downstairs and is very friendly and sweet. He requires water and hay at all times and gets pellets in the morning and some simple medication given on a piece of fruit, and greens in the evening.

Our dog is quite well trained. She has excellent recall and knows her commands. She is a bit reactive around other doggies, but we just keep to ourselves and then she is totally fine. She absolutely adores humans and is very affectionate. Knowing a bit about working dogs is great, but we can tell/show you all we do with her. Our garden is enormous so she can also hang out outside quite a bit and gets a lot out of that, so it isn't like she needs you all the time!

My son has two fish tanks and they do need a sprinkle of food, their lights turned on and off and weekly water changes - not complicated and super easy to learn.

We also have quite a few plants (I love growing things!) that need watering inside and a garden outside that needs to be watered nearly every day at the height of summer, especially the vege patches and fruit trees.

Everyone who comes to our beautiful north facing house with lovely light has said it feels like a holiday! We have evaporative air conditioning throughout the house, two wood burning stove and a split system heating/cooling unit so you will be comfortable here. We are looking at putting in an above ground pool, so you can cool off, too.

There’s a dishwasher, Apple TV with Netflix, and lovely places to sit outside for a morning coffee or tea or to watch the sunset in the evening. We see quendas, lizards, and possums in our garden and an abundance of birds.

It’s a beautiful place to be!

It is quite essential to have a car here to get around and be able to take animals to the vet if needed. Read more...
