About this house sitting position in Upwey

🚨 URGENT HOUSE SITTER NEEDED ❤️

We’ve had a last-minute cancellation and are now urgently looking for a lovely, trustworthy house sitter for the 1st of October to the 14th of October.

Come and stay in our relaxing, art filled home in the hills, surrounded by nature and backing directly onto 40 hectares of protected bushland, complete with a running creek and beautiful walking trails. 🌿

You’ll be looking after our little crew:
🐱 2 cuddly indoor cats
🦎 1 friendly baby Blue Tongue Lizard
🐔 5 chickens, with automatic feeders to make things nice and easy!

There are plenty of perks too! You’re welcome to enjoy unlimited fresh eggs, lemons, herbs and greens from our veggie patch. We also have a coffee machine for your morning brew. ☕️🥚🌱

Our garden is a favourite spot for wildlife, with kookaburras, butcherbirds, cockatoos, rosellas, king parrots and rainbow lorikeets visiting regularly. If you’re super lucky, you may even spot an echidna, Gang-gang Cockatoo, Black Cockatoo, or even the occasional deer wandering through!

The veggie gardens and approximately 15 fruit trees may need some watering and a little extra attention on hot days, if any!

Our property is on a hill, with a steep driveway and plenty of room to turn around. We’ve had trucks and trailers come down with no issues, and it could potentially fit a small caravan if you’re confident backing down a winding driveway.

Access to the chickens does require walking up and down some stairs and a steep section of the property, so we’re looking for someone reasonably fit and comfortable getting around the block.

No pets please, as our cats are strictly indoors and we have lots of beautiful wild birds & lizards visiting the garden every day that we don't want to scare away.

📍 Just 5 minutes from Upwey Main Street, in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges.

We’re really hoping to find someone who will enjoy our little patch of paradise and give us peace of mind knowing our animals and home are being well cared for while we’re away. 💚

If you’re available from the 1st October to the 14th of October, or know someone who might be the perfect fit, please get in touch ASAP! Please & Thank you! Read more...
