I am looking for a mature reliable non-smoking house sitter with good references to care for my home and much loved two cats, two chooks, and garden in Lara (near Melbourne) from 26 May to 27 June Lara is a peaceful country town and my place is on the outskirts, but only a 10min walk from the shops, and a 15 min walk from the railway station (with frequent trains to Melbourne and Geelong – I commute to Melbourne for work and it is very convenient). The You Yangs is a few kilometers away, and Serendip Sanctuary is a 15 min walk away, both good spots for outdoor activities.
The cats enjoy company, games and cuddles, are used to being fed twice a day, and like a clean litter box. One is exclusively indoors, and the other is mostly indoors. The chooks enjoy an occasional run around the back lawn and produce a plentiful supply of eggs. There are a few plants that need watering, but most of garden is drip-irrigated so shouldn’t need much attention, but will be producing winter vegies.
