About

Hi - my wife Robyn and I are away in Tasmania between 16 November 2025 and returning on 27 November 2025.

We have a lovely, large 4 bedroomed house on well kept established gardens on 3/4 acre at One Tree Hill township in the Adelaide Hills approx. 33 kms from Adelaide.

We have used house sitters about a 15 - 20 times previously and it was a terrific experience for the sitters and us too!!

Apart from minding the house and yard, we have chickens and our two dogs.

We currently have 3 chickens which require minimal attention as they have a self feeder / water / and automatic opening and closing door to their chicken coop at dawn and dusk - to save them from foxes.

We do have large gardens and lawn and during the summer months it requires a considerable amount of watering - majority of watering is by sprinklers and tap timers as well as some hand watering of indoor and outdoor potted plants. I would expect that in November that only minimal watering of pot plants will be needed.

We do have two dogs. A gentle, docile 12 year old, good natured, adorable female, long coat German Shepherd dog 'Charlea' and her new companion 'Frankie' which is currently a 7 month old Golden Retriever. Frankie will be 11 months old while we are away.
Unfortunately, this precludes any sitters with their own dogs / cats from applying.

If you would like to see more photos of the house and yard let me know - only a limited amount can be uploaded onto this website unfortunately
