I am looking for a couple or single person to look after my home and pets in Maryborough, Queensland while I visit family overseas for 6 weeks during the Christmas school holidays. I live in a highset Queenslander which I have been gradually renovating over the past 11 years so is very clean and tidy with new paint inside and polished floors. Underneath is open and very spacious. The main reason for me looking for a housesitter is for my pets. I have two dogs and a cat who I am sure would hate to be placed in boarding for 6 weeks. Both dogs are good natured Cattle X's - one is 6 years old and the other 2 years. My cat is a typical cat - likes company but tends to look after himself much of the time. As for Maryborough itself it is a fairly quiet town with a population of approx 27, It is half an hours drive from Hervey Bay and the beaches and half an hours drive from popular fishing spots such as Maaroom, Boonooroo and Poona. Everything is a short drive away or quite a lot of people just use their pushbike to get around. There is a major shopping centre with Big W, Best and Less, Jeans West, Sussan etc, 3 large supermarkets, everything sporty from lawn bowls to tennis, swimming to ten pin bowling and all team sports and a few gyms in between. For entertainment there are many clubs and a cinema. And that's about it. I have lived in my home for 11 years and have a good relationship with all my neighbours who are all a very friendly bunch. If this sounds like it could suit or you would like more information then would love to hear from you.
