Theodore, Queensland

About this house sitting position in Theodore

We live on a cattle property on a bitumen road 15 minutes from the friendly town of Theodore in Central Queensland. We come and go a fair bit, and are taking some holidays during late November and early December 2026, so have a requirement for a sitter. Ideally we are looking for someone with a caravan or motor home. There is a dedicated space for either, with an adjacent private toilet and shower block with a washing machine, and a furnished air-conditioned donga for your use if you wish to spread out. There is a lovely view overlooking distant hills and mountains.
We have a lawn and garden that need to be cared for. We have pop up lawn sprinklers that need to be turned on and off as required. We also have a large zero turn lawn mower which makes mowing easy. The rest of the garden is fairly low maintenance and just requires water although this Spring we have had wonderful rain and so have has to do very little watering.
Our friendly old border collie dog needs feeding and locking up at night when we are away.
If you wish to be involved with looking after the cattle when we are away, water troughs and cattle are usually checked daily.
Our daughter and her partner also live in a second house on our property so on days when they are around the farm they can check cattle. They have 3 dogs with a large run that would need to be fed when they are occasionally jaway.
No previous experience is required, just practical common sense and a love of animals. We would fully familiarise you with the cattle operation prior to going away if you wish to be involved. Read more...
