About
5-Week Cat Sit in Narooma, NSW — September to October
We’re looking for a house sitter for 5 weeks in Narooma, NSW, from Sep 5 – Oct 12, to care for our two large and very fluffy indoor cats — Wazza and Tori.
We have a lovely two-bedroom house, just 200m from Wagonga Inlet. There’s plenty of birdlife, partial water views, a veggie garden, and a fire pit. The guest room has a queen-sized bed, and there is fantastic internet and ample desk space if you work from home.
We're a 5-minute drive from local beaches, restaurants, cafes, and a shopping centre. Wagonga inlet is a 200m walk from the house and is a great spot for a swim, fish, or paddle (you're welcome to use our canoe and lifejackets!). A scenic walking/cycling path runs right past the house, with easy access into town and all the way north to Dalmeny. If you’re into surfing or mountain biking, there are great trails and surf breaks nearby. We’ve got plenty of storage space for any outdoor gear you might like to bring along too. It's a really nice time of year to be in Narooma, but we'll be heading to Canada for a holiday!
Wazza and Tori are the stunning brother-sister combo that rule the house. They take a little while to warm up to new people, but will be extremely smoochy and attention demanding once they do. Their hobbies include rolling, lounging in the sun, and chasing each other and balls around the house. They're also clicker trained and know a few tricks - i.e. they can be bribed to become your friend! They are pretty easy going, just requiring wet food twice a day, litter box cleaning, and topping up water and the automatic biscuit dispenser as required.
Garden work is minimal, ideally just the occasional veggie patch watering. In return, you’ll have fresh herbs, greens, limes, and almost-unlimited spring onions at your disposal.
Non-smokers only, and references (especially from past house-sits) appreciated. Our trip dates are fixed, but we're open to having someone start earlier or come for a test visit/sit to meet the cats and us.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
