About this house sitting position in Maleny

2 storey brick home with sloped driveway. Stairs down into the yard and sloped ground. Large north facing deck with views. Modern bathroom and guest bedroom. Wood fire fans aircon. Half acre of tropical gardens well cleared around house but we get plenty of snakes so screens must be shut at all times so as not to allow the snakes in and absolutely not let the cats out. Look up when you go out on the deck. Snake catcher number provided for large pythons. Have only called him twice in 5 years but have seen plenty of snakes a lace monitor and huge water dragon ambling by our back door. One cat goes for walks on a harness. The dog can have time outside in fenced section but must not be left outside if you are going out. If he barks he must be called inside. We encourage no jumping and no barking he is 2 and still learning manners. We take him out at night on the lead for his last toilet break due to night creatures then he sleeps in an enclosed area until he needs his morning bathroom break. He is not allowed on beds. He gets two walks a day one in the morning one out to coffee with us and then goes to the dog park most nights. It is not enclosed so he needs to be watched and put on lead if he wanders too far. He also likes to rumble with dogs so watch he is not too rough with little ones or not getting the worst of it with big ones. It is very important that you watch at dog park not just chat with other owners but being social is also part of it and he can be on a lead if you want to chat. Everyone understands you will have the attention of a gnat when you take my dog to the dog park bcos of his gallivanting. They call him the ambassador he feels that every new person or dog in the far distance is there for him to run and greet and everyone leaving needs him to go with them to say goodbye. You need to be quite active or good at teaching him recall. 2 spyhnx cats and a mini schnauzer all raw fed. I will have meals prepared but the cats can be fussy. One cat is timid but affectionate the other is mischievous and active. Every time you leave the house a cat head count must be done to make sure he does not slip past you. Steep driveway not suitable for caravan but undercover car parking is available. 10 minute walk to village down through a short cut of stairs and quiet streets. Dates indicated are a guess as have not booked yet just seeing if we can get house sitters before committing to airfares. Look forward to hearing from potential sitters and seeing references. If this works out may be longer dates in the future. Read more...
