About this house sitting position in Torquay Hervey Bay

URGENT!!! The sitter I had booked for this week away, is now very unwell and not able to do it. PLEASE, CAN YOU HELP?
A cat lover is needed. Thank you.

My home is a modern low level duplex.
It has an open plan kitchen & lounge; with a 55" TV, lounge suite & 3 aquariums in one part.
A step-down to where the dining/craft table, sunroom area is. It has 2 comfortable chairs, a display cabinet, & a cat tower.

I have a beautiful garden with a Summer House, which is now my Cat's playhouse.

A deck provides easy all weather foot access to the clothes line.
On the deck are two very comfortable cane chairs, a table, a stool, & garden cupboard.
(There is a shed for larger garden things in the utility part of the yard.)

The 1ST & most important aspect, of this home sitting, is the care of my two beautiful gentle, lovely Cat's, PIPPIN & WILLOW.
Now 17 months old.

They really are gentle as neither have ever bitten me nor scratched on purpose.
They are brother's from the same litter, with
their mother being Siamese, & father a tabby.

Pippin has thrown to a full gorgeous orange tabby. A joyful leaper, jumper, pure hunter if he was allowed out, & at the end of the evening a smoochy sook who would suck on your earlobe if you let him. 😉 😄He is however, a very sensitive cat and would need winning around.

Willow has thrown to a beautiful/handsome Flame Point Siamese.
He is more confidentthan Pippin, & loves his food. Also snuggles when he wants them, along with face smooches which he gives in abundance.

They require lots of love, play & routine, as well as patience as Pippin in particular is timid.
I will leave a booklet with what is involved with food, time in the playhouse, & routine inside play.

As I am disabled I can't carry a carrier so they jump in their pram & we visit the garden; feed birds which they love, they watch me hanging out clothes, & we go to & fro from their playhouse.

2ND. I have a tank of cold water Blackmore fish; another of Goldfish; one of many tropical fish, & a smaller tank with one Betta fish.
They require feeding twice a day but I will have already done their water changes.

Again, what needs to be done & how, will be in the booklet.

The garden will need watering as required. Sometimes it's only pots that do.

The Lawns are mowed by a contractor.

I have WIFI, & subscriptions to Netflix & Paramount, as well as the free to air, 9Now, etc. TV. If you are tech savvy feel free to add them to my big TV in the lounge room. I will be appreciative. Netflix is already on it.

By car everything is only apox 5 minutes away... cafes, sea, shopping centre, fast food, Markets, & The Boat Club; then 10 minutes to everything else.
For better or worse there is a wonderful bakery just around the corner.

As I can no longer drive the garage is now a room for sewing, music, & my mobility scooter but there is plenty of space in the front to park.

I am hoping to do even more travel while I can, so there should be many returns for the person with the right fit for all of us.

Thank you for your consideration & I look forward to meeting you (both).
