About
We are looking for a house sitter for 2 months and 2 weeks to care for our home, three chickens and two goldfish (pond). Our home is a comfortable single storey building in leafy Mount Evelyn in Melbourne's outer eastern suburbs. It has three bedrooms, one with en-suite, and spacious living areas. The house is surrounded by pretty gardens which will require only a little care. We are close to the beautiful Yarra Valley and the Warburton rail trail is nearby. A car can be available but it is manual gearbox. 5 mins walk from the house there is a bus service to Lilydale and Ringwood stations connecting with trains to Melbourne.
