About this house sitting position in Northcote (Westgarth)

We are looking for a sitter to look after our Siberian cat Pixie over the Christmas break. Our house is a 2 storey townhouse, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, newer build in Westgarth (southern end of Northcote) with excellent public transport (train, and a tram line on either side of the train line), close to High street shops, parks, Westgarth Cinema, walkable and lots of nearby bike paths. Fitzroy Pool is a short tram ride away and the new Northcote pool has now opened. There is slab heating downstairs and split system heating/cooling upstairs. Parking available in front of the house and off street parking behind the garage accessed via a laneway at the rear of the property. Espresso machine in the kitchen.

You can see Pixie at the Instagram account Daisy.the.siberian

Pixie is fed twice a day and let out into the enclosed back courtyard for short periods each day. There is a small garden at the front that may need watering depending on the weather, as well as some pot plants in the rear courtyard that may need watering also. Pixie can be left alone inside while you go out to explore the local area, go to work or do whatever it is that brings you to Melbourne.

“It was a total pleasure to house sit for Sam and her two adorable cats, Daisy and Pixie. Sam was clear in her instructions, and always very friendly and easy to communicate with. Her house is beautiful! It was very clean and organized so it was easy to find where everything was. I loved how it was a 5 minute walk to either train or tram. Daisy is very friendly, but Pixie is a little shy at first. In no time they both transformed into very affectionate and playful cats! Would love to house sit for Sam and her family again!”

“We had a wonderful time house and cat-sitting for Sam and her family. Daisy and Pixie are a little shy but it was lovely seeing them warm up over the long weekend we were there. It was great too to enjoy being right next to Merri Creek and round the corner from heaps of nice places to eat. Sam was super friendly and instructions were all clear. We’d gladly return anytime! ”

“I absolutely loved my sit at Sam and her family’s lovely home. Daisy and Pixie are the most special girls, and I was genuinely sad to leave them. Daisy is a sweet and welcoming girl who loves to cuddle in bed. Pixie was understandably a bit cautious of the stranger in her house, though after a week was a bundle of affection once I earned her trust, and then was my little shadow. They are very low maintenance girls and keep each other entertained. The house is super comfortable and easy to maintain, plus in a fantastic spot, with everything you could need at your doorstep. Sam is so friendly, great communication and provided easy to follow instructions. Would highly recommend to any potential sitters looking for a great Melbourne house sit ”
