About this house sitting position in Thornbury

Hi there!

I’m heading overseas from the 5th to the 28th of June and looking for someone lovely to house and cat sit while I’m away.

My flat is tucked away in the quiet, leafy streets of Thornbury - right on the Merri Creek Trail (literally on the doorstep!). It’s a peaceful spot in Melbourne’s north, but you’re not far from the action - just an 8-minute drive or a 20-minute stroll to High Street, where you’ll find plenty of great cafes, restaurants, bars, and live music.

There’s plenty of free on-street parking if you have a car, and public transport is easy too - an 8-minute walk gets you to the #11 tram, which takes you straight through Fitzroy, into the CBD, and out to Docklands.

The apartment is on the second floor of a secure block of 16 units - safe, quiet, and perfect for a solo stay. It’s a two-bedroom place (though one room is currently storage and laundry), with reverse cycle heating/cooling, a washer and dryer, and a private balcony that looks out into peaceful parklands.

I work from home full-time, so there’s a solid Wi-Fi connection and a comfy desk/computer setup you’re welcome to use.

Now for the most important part - Flo. She’s a 6-year-old cat with a gentle, affectionate nature. She’s very low-maintenance: just a daily food top-up, a quick litter scoop, and a full clean-out once a week (all supplies provided).

Flo can be a little shy at first, but she’s friendly and enjoys company. She won’t climb all over you, but she does like to be nearby. She used to be an outdoor cat, so her favourite thing is soaking up the sun and bird-watching from the balcony.

If you’re after a peaceful, comfortable place to stay with a sweet, low-key cat for company, I’d love to hear from you! Read more...
