Port Broughton, South Australia

About this house sitting position in Port Broughton

We are a female couple who would like to travel next year so are looking for a long stay sitter. Our home is near the sea in a small, friendly town. Our house is small, on one level with a mainly easy care native garden, a collection of succulents and two fishponds. No lawns to mow. We have two small dogs, one who absolutely hates travelling - she's great in the car but turns into a quivering jelly in new places. The girls are a mini dachshund and a mini schnauzer. They get on OK with other dogs. There is an indoor aquarium to look after - a tropical tank; there are two outdoor goldfish ponds which will need minimal maintenance. We also have a 'frogarium' with two tubby green tree frogs in residence. Port Broughton has a really good IGA supermarket, chemist, great pub, take away shops and bakeries. There is a doctors surgery and a small hospital. There is an outdoor gym on the seafront and a weekly Parkrun. We are equidistant between Port Pirie and Kadina/Wallaroo - both of which have more major supermarkets and chain stores etc. Adelaide is only a couple of hours drive away and the Clare Valley wineries 40 minutes to the East. We would prefer a single female to sit for us but a couple could be considered, age is irrelevant. Must be non - smokers. There is room for your motorhome or caravan if required with power and water available. The NBN is connected with free Internet usage for the sitter. We would be looking at a long stay sitter for approximately 5 months (over the southern Winter), as we want to see WA before we get too decrepit to enjoy it! Read more...
