About this house sitting position in ROSEBUD

Single/couple non-smokers required for our beautiful shy cat Poppy. Must love cats and enjoy watering gardens.

Cosy comfortable minimalist house on the Mornington Peninsula. Newly renovated bathroom and laundry, freshly painted throughout. Great garden and back deck with couches and table and chairs to enjoy indoor outdoor living year round. Last sitter described it as an Oasis.

We are 3km from the beach (bay) and 9km from Rye Ocean beach. Outdoor bath with hot/cold water to relax in under the stars in the backyard. Local shopping strip only 150m with major supermarkets and a plaza 5 min drive.

12 yo cat Poppy is shy and sleeps mostly during the day and looks out the windows all night. Outside on a long lead during the day if she wants, has done this since a kitten as we use to live near busy roads and she is fine with it. Has survived a fox attack once at night so can longer be outside at night. She maybe shy with you on the first day, then she'll warm up and may even sit on your lap on her blanket of a night if you'd like.

We have front and back gardens we will need watering as we are on sandy soil and haven't been getting the rain. There are many sprinklers set up around the garden if you prefer not to hand water.

There are cafes, wineries, golf courses, beaches, markets and attractions to enjoy while you are here. Or stay in on comfy lounges large tv and Netflix and Brit Box.

We also have a street library out the front that I keep neat and tidy and top up the books if there are gaps.

If you think this all sounds good for you please get in touch.

5 stars stars
“Susan & Brent were excellent communicators. We met in person prior and geld immediately. Their unassuming cottage is an oasis of relaxation. Poppy’s routines and needs were easily adopted as she is a very affectionate cat and secure in her home environment. That’s the beauty of house sitting. Being experienced and confident, Susan made room for me and I felt very welcome and trusted. Happy all round! ”
