About
I am looking for one person only (not a couple), preferably a male, who is already living in Melbourne and is a strict non-smoker, to care for my beautiful Ragdoll cat, Bella, while I am away on a cruise in March–April.
Bella is very easy-going. She does her toileting outside, does not go near cars, and has no interest in catching birds or mice (she just watches them!). She loves being combed and is fed twice a day.
While I’m away, I would really appreciate receiving the occasional photo of Bella, as I do miss her when I travel.
Looking after the house. I just need the bins taken out on Wednesday nights for Thursday pickup. And the mail from the letterbox brought inside. I'd like the house to be kept neat and tidy.
Location highlights:
The house is in a fantastic spot — a 10-minute walk to the beach,
20 minutes to Black Rock village,
25 minutes to Sandringham village,
with a great Italian coffee shop just around the corner and another directly across the road.
Public transport is within walking distance (trains and buses), the hospital is a 5-minute walk, and buses run to Southland, Chadstone, St Kilda, and Moorabbin.
It’s truly a great location!
