About

Hello all,
It would be great to find a house sitter to look after our 3 bedroom house with beautiful dog Coco & fluffy cat Lolly while we're away in Europe for work for three weeks.

Coco is a very sweet 2.5 year old short-haired collie, and loves her daily walk. She's also very attentive and fun to hang out with. She will need to be walked once a day, and fed twice a day. Otherwise she is very chilled and low maintenance. Lolly our cat is super low maintenance, she just needs feeding once every day.

Our house is almost brand new and has all the modern conveniences. It has a front garden and vege garden out back, which have automatic watering systems, so they are taken care of. The inside pot plants require watering once a week or so. So overall, the house is low maintenance.

Our house has all the modern conveniences, including a big kitchen, wide screen TV with Netflix. Its is an 10 minutes drive to the beautiful Breamlea Beach, and 12 mins drive to 13th Beach and the Barwon Heads township, and 15 mins drive to Torquay. All great for walks and cafes nearby. There is a Woolies and Aldi a 5 min drive away in Armstrong Creek. The Great Ocean Road is about a 25 min drive away, with the beautiful Bells Beach, Pt Addis etc.

Please just ask if you have any questions.

Phil and Amy


Description of pets:
We have one gorgeous, sweet-natured kelpie-collie cross, Coco. She's two years old, and besides a walk or two each day, she's low maintenance. We also have a sweet cat, Lolly, who basically just lies around all day and meows occasionally for food. Coco needs feeding twice a day with her fresh food (which we'll have prepared for you), and Lolly just once per day. Coco needs at least one good walk each day. We'd strongly prefer having someone who is willing to work from home, so that Coco has company during the day.

Best thing about our area
The best thing about our area is access to many beautiful beaches, which are often deserted this time of year - you'll often have to yourself. Also the great cafes and food. We have sprawling farmland and empty beaches closeby, while also being close to Geelong city and major shopping centres.

About us
We've lived in the area for 6 years, and absolutely love where we live. Phil is an academic who often travels for work, and Amy is from the Netherlands, so we're in Europe once or twice each year.
