About this house sitting position in ROSEBUD

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

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

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 at first and sleeps mostly during the day and looks out the windows all night. Outside on a long lead during the day for fresh air and sleeping in the sun.

There are cafes, wineries, golf courses, beaches, markets and attractions to enjoy while you are here. Or stay inside on comfy lounges with good heating and all the tv channels and Netflix/Britbox subscriptions.

We also have a small street library out front that I keep neat and tidy and top up the books if there are gaps if you could keep an eye on it for me.

Would appreciate some garden watering if we're not getting any rain as we are on sandy ground it does dry out. No lawn mowing required.

Can send more garden pics through as was limited by number I could add here.

5 stars stars
“I had a lovely time looking after the soft and snuggly Poppy (super affectionate once she had deemed I was worthy!). Susan and Brent have a lovely home and garden and they really made me feel welcome. Communication over the sit duration was easy and their garden is spectacular and bountiful. Very enjoyable week!”

“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! ”

“Susan and Brent were a delight to sit for, they left simple clear instructions. Poppy, their elderly cat was lovely and affectionate. The house is comfortable and in a great area, their back garden is a beautiful oasis, a lovely place to relax. I’d be happy to return.”
