About

We need a carer/s for our house who enjoy nature, gardens, are non-smokers, and are happy to look after our small, wire-haired terrier, Scruffy, while we are away on a European holiday for 2-3 months.
Our house is a clean and comfortable 2-bedroom Queenslander-style timber house, in Pomona, in the beautiful Noosa hinterland area of Qld. It is a 5-minutes walk into Pomona village, with its cool shops and cafes, Majestic Theatre, and weekend growers market. The house is a short walk to Mt Cooroora, National Parks, and the Noosa Trail, and a 35-minute drive to fabulous Noosa & Sunshine Coast surf beaches.
The house is on the edge of forest and visited by kangaroos and lots of birds. It has a beautiful low-maintenance native garden & raised vege beds. It is freshly painted and renovated, with a new bathroom, two large bedrooms, one which doubles as an office, a kitchen with a large freestanding electric oven with induction cooktop, large decks for outside dining and lounging around watching the birdlife, Internet and off-street parking available.
A friendly tenant lives in a separate granny flat. She is self-sufficient and works as a vet nurse, nearby and has cared for Scruffy in the past.

Pets & farm animals

Our friendly 5-year-old wire-haired terrier, Scruffy, is great company. She is very easy to look after and loves hanging around close to her people. She likes a daily walk on the lead into town or around the neighbourhood. The tenant in the granny flat may help care for Scruffy when needed.
