House is furnished with a brand new queen sized bed in the guest room. There is an adjacent bathroom and toilet. New kitchen is large with modern bench tops and quality new appliances, and everything you could possibly need to cook even the most extravagant meal. The family room next to the kitchen opens on to a large deck with an outdoor lounge and dining table. There is a pool and Webber BBQ. The perfect place to sit and relax. The media room has a leather lounge and large flat screen TV. We also have high speed internet and WiFi. There is ducted air conditioning as well as ceiling fans in all rooms, including bedrooms.

We have an edible garden with fruit trees, and any produce is fine to go ahead and use in the kitchen.

We have a study with desk space and monitors for sitters who wish to work from home. And Zorro has a bed in there to keep you company.

Zorro is a nearly 15 years old Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog. He is well trained and lovable (of course). He requires a slow walk on lead each morning. As he ages, he sleeps more often during the day. We have taught our dogs good manners which we would like you to continue.

Zorro has been actively trained and achieved a high level of obedience. He is not allowed on furniture or the kitchen.

We will be away for approximately 16 nights from Sunday 2nd May until Monday 18th May 2026. We would like you to arrive the day before so that we can run through routines and requirements and join us for an evening meal before we leave you in our home. We will be leaving very early on Sunday morning.

This would be the ideal house-sit for people who work from home or are visiting relatives in the Sunshine Coast area and need a bit more room/ somewhere to stay. It is also a great base for enjoying a relaxing holiday in a great location. Ideally, we would like someone loves dogs and would care for our dog and house as if it were their own.

We have an office area available with high speed internet which is often used by sitters working from home.

We are non smokers and would prefer sitters who also don't smoke.
You will be required to be a companion for Zorro, walking, feeding and cleaning up after him. He is not on any medications. We also need you to water our indoor and outdoor plants on a regular basis.

We would like to meet the right house sitter prior to us leaving so we can video talk before the day, you can meet and get familiar with Zorro. You would be staying in the guest bedroom so happy to accommodate an early arrival or staying a day or so extra before moving on if needed.

We do not have room for caravan storage.

We have had many sitters using Mindahome over the years so we are well organised in providing useful information. People always comment that we have the most well behaved dogs that they have ever met and it has been a pleasure to have their company. Please see our reviews.
