Kawana Forest On The Sunshine Coast, Queensland

About this house sitting position in Kawana Forest on the Sunshine Coast

Sitters wanted to care for Zorro, our stumpy tailed cattle dog in our home on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. This is for about 8 weeks while we head to Canada.
We would like you to arrive the night before we leave to meet Zorro and learn about his routine before our early start. And we can give you a rundown on location and how to work the appliances.

- Quiet and private location with no back neighbours in a leafy estate
- Numerous walking trails nearby
- 5 minutes from Birtinya Stockland shopping centre
- Short 5min drive to local Dicky, Moffat or Kings Beaches
- Approx 10/15 minute drive to numerous locations such as Caloundra, Golden Beach or Maroochydore where you will find many beaches as well as numerous shops, cafes and parks.
- A perfect base with many other fantastic things to do nearby such as day trips to Maleny, Montville or Noosa.
- We are only 30 mins from Australia Zoo.

House is furnished with a 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. This is complemented by the pool and Weber barbeque. 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 with WiFi. There is ducted air-conditioning plus ceiling fans in all rooms. There is an office if you work from home.
We have a yard with edible garden with many herbs, and any produce is fine to go ahead and use in the kitchen.
We have an electric gate for privacy and security.

Zorro is a 13 year old Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog. He is well trained and lovable (of course). He requires walking on lead each morning and he loves a ball or scent game at any time! We have taught our dogs good manners which we would like you to continue. Dogs have never been allowed in bedrooms or on furniture. He is actively trained and has achieved a high level of obedience. Someone who has had experience with active working dogs previously would be preferred.
We have had many comments about how well trained and obedient he is. A perfect companion.

We will be away for approximately 8 weeks from Wednesday 7th August to Friday 4th October. We would like you to arrive the day before so that we can run through routines and requirements so we can make a very early start in the morning.

This would be the ideal house-sit for people who are visiting relatives in the Sunshine Coast area and need a bit more room/ somewhere to stay or alternatively a great base for enjoying a relaxing holiday in a great location. We are only 5 mins from the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. Ideally we would like someone loves dogs and would care for our dog and house as if it were their own.
We are non smokers and would prefer sitters who also don't smoke.
We will require some watering pots inside and out depending upon the weather. And of course lawn mowing over this period.

We would like to meet the right house sitters prior to us leaving so we can video talk before the day, you can meet and get familiar with the dogs. 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 have had many sitters using Mindahome 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.
