About this house sitting position in Wheatsheaf

We are looking for someone to care for our home and pets for just over 6 weeks. Our home is on 2 hectares on the edge of the Wombat Forest at Wheatsheaf, and is a 10 minute drive from the town of Daylesford. The house is 2 storey and has 3 bedrooms, a main bathroom and a second toilet.
Our pets are a turtle, a jungle python, a Murray cod, guinea pig, corellas and a galah. There are also some indoor plants, a small glass house and bonsai that will need watering.
The turtle needs feeding every second day, and the jungle python is fortnightly. The Murray cod needs feeding with yabbies and will need regular water changes and aquarium cleaning. The guinea pig cage will also need cleaning out once a week.
The property has abundant wildlife including kangaroos, wallabies, possums and gliders (including greater gliders), echidnas and numerous bird species. There is also an occasional koala passing through.
