About this house sitting position in Shortland

House Sitter Wanted – Newcastle, NSW

A comfortable home and two lovable senior pets!

I’m looking for a caring, reliable and animal-loving house sitter aged 55 or over, as I live in a friendly and peaceful retirement village in Newcastle, NSW.

You’ll be sharing my lovely little villa with two much-loved elderly pets:

🐶 Sherlock is my gorgeous 17-year-old Beagle. He’s a gentle old gentleman who enjoys his meals, a little attention and a couple of short, leisurely walks each day. At his age, he takes life at a much slower pace!

🐱 Miss Lily is my beautiful 17-year-old cat. She’s an indoor girl with plenty of personality who enjoys company, her creature comforts and a little supervised time outside.

Both pets have their routines, and Sherlock does require some daily medication, which is quite straightforward to administer. I’ll leave clear, easy-to-follow instructions covering everything you need to know.

About my home
I live in a comfortable, easy-care villa in a welcoming retirement village. It’s a lovely, quiet environment with friendly neighbours and community activities that you’re welcome to join if you wish.

I’m looking for someone who will enjoy spending time at home with my two elderly companions, giving them the affection and care they’re accustomed to, while keeping an eye on the house and watering a few pot plants.

Ideally, you’ll be a non-smoker, experienced with pets and happy to maintain their familiar routines.

If you’re a kind, responsible person who enjoys the company of older animals and would appreciate a peaceful place to stay, I’d love to hear from you!

I look forward to hearing from you – Sherlock and Miss Lily do too! 🐾

5 stars stars
“A wonderful time spent in Shortland looking after Sherlock(Senior Beagle) and Lily ( Tri coloured cat). I particularly enjoyed Lily's special habits, and caring For Sherlock, who has some health issues. Julie was very helpful and provided detailed information to assist me with caring for the pets, house, and plants.”
