Lilyfield, New South Wales

About this house sitting position in Lilyfield

We need someone or a couple who love animals and can cope with 4 older gentlemen in the prime of their lives for 7 days this December/January. Mum and Dad are going away from Tuesday December 26th to Monday January 1st.

We all live in a split level 3 bedroom cottage (1 room is mum’s dressing room, the other is dad’s study, we like sleeping on his couch) in Lilyfield, a leafy suburb of Sydney’s Inner West. We have two living areas (one up and one down) a main bathroom and laundry with second bathroom. There is an upstairs balcony with views to the city and a deck from the lower level downstairs.
Lilyfield is only 4 kilometers’ to the city and the Sydney Fish Markets, walking distance to Rozelle and a short drive or bus ride to Balmain and Leichhardt. There are buses on Balmain Road and Lilyfield Road at the bottom of our street or the Light Rail a short walk along Lilyfield Road.

We are ‘The Kids’
I am Jack a 16 year old Boarder Collie x Kelpie and I am stone deaf and mum and dad say that I still think I am a puppy. My brother Ted is like a teenage boy at 12 years old. He pushes all of mum and dad’s buttons (especially when he tries to eat Harley’s food, which he has done morning and night for 12 years) and he knows when mum and dad are about to explode and gives them a big lick and his big brown eyes say ‘I love you mum”. He’s pathetic.

Then there is Harley the senior citizen of the group who is nearly 17years old. For a cat he’s no trouble. He loves to sleep, eat and watch the world go by on the front nature strip. He is a big boy at 15 kilos but don’t be scared he’s a bit of a love bucket. And then there is Ducati. He’s a bit skittish and hard to get to know but can be a very loving little guy when you get to know him.

Well that’s us. What do you think? Could you put up with us for 7 days?

Please contact Robyn (mum) and let her know if you want 7 days of furry loving. Read more...
