South Townsville, Queensland

About this house sitting position in South Townsville

Hello house sitters.

We are searching for someone to look after our home, pets and gardens while we are away camping for approximately 3 months.

Our home is in South Townsville, North Queensland. It will be a lovely time of year to visit this part of Queensland.

We need someone who will be home every night for our two great mixed-breed dogs. They are locked up in the house’s entryway each night (otherwise they roam the yard, bark all night and annoy the neighbours). They get fed breakfast and dinner and need a daily walk. We have a double story home and they are allowed downstairs when we are home. They love company and will enjoy sitting there with you while you watch TV. They don’t have any health issues, just needing a worming tablet once a month.

We also have four chickens and a worm farm, so experience with chickens would be helpful.

Our home was built in 1936 and is undergoing renovations, but we are nearing the end so nothing too drastic. We have a great kitchen and bathroom, plus a guest room if you won’t be using your own vehicle. There is room out the front of the house for caravans etc (unfortunately we haven’t got our carport yet). The home is fully security screened. There is a bus stop across the road and it is about a 25 minute stroll to the city and a restaurant strip.

Garden maintenance is mainly lawn mowing and lawn/plant watering. We are on a quarter acre block on a street corner.

Non-smokers would be preferred.

Also those travelling without pets would be best. Our dogs are OK with other dogs, but sometimes get too worked up. They aren’t great with cats and birds etc (our dogs and chickens don’t mix!).

If you are interested we would love to hear from you and we can provide more detail.

Cheers. Read more...
