Williamstown, Victoria

About this house sitting position in Williamstown

We're looking for someone responsible to look after our house, cat and dog. Our home is in Williamstown, Victoria - a beautiful suburb on Port Phillip Bay about 20-30 minutes suburban train ride from the Melbourne CBD.

Our place is a 2 storey, 3-4 bedroom 1980s house with views of the bay. It’s very comfortable, roomy and in a great location, with Williamstown beach only a very short walk away. There is broadband internet and a garage for a car.

Williamstown has lots to do - search for the 'visitwilliamstown" website. The best things about our place:
-> Williamstown is peaceful and quiet especially in winter.
-> It is an easy train trip to the city.
-> Great views of the bay that give a wonderful sense of space.
-> We’re close to great walking/cycling/jogging tracks along the bay.
-> Lots of restaurants and cafes close by – including a great little kiosk on the beach.
There are also lots to distract you if you’re interested in history.

Pets
We have a cat and a dog that need to be looked after and given lots of love.
-> Matilda is a very friendly 12-year old domestic short-haired cat who is fairly self-contained. She is very happy to sleep the day away and enjoys sitting on a friendly lap on the couch in the evening. We keep her inside.
-> Lola is a medium-sized 6-year old black Labrador-cross. We adopted her in March 2023 as a rescue dog - she is very sweet and affectionate but a little anxious from her unfortunate past life, though getting more and more at home all the time. She would not do well left all day on her own. She is friendly and loves going for drives - but she may not do well with small children.
They both get fed morning and night. Lola needs a walk once or twice a day preferably with a visit to one of the two off-lead parks on the foreshore that are very close. Matilda’s litter tray would need to be cleaned daily.

House Tasks
Looking after Matilda and Lola, scooping out leaves from the pool each day, checking for mail daily, checking the house-plants to see if they need watering, watering the garden if it's been hot and dry, and putting out and bringing in the bins once a week.
Other than that - relaxing and enjoying what Williamstown has to offer.

The dates:
-> From: Saturday 26 December 2026 (we'll leave in the early afternoon)
-> To: Thursday 7 January 2027 (we'll arrive back in the morning).

Cheers and look forward to meeting you!
