About

We have a large, free standing federation house in Summer Hill with a large backyard, very leafy outlook, and very close to both train and light rail (30 mins into city) and off street parking. Close to eateries, cafes, parks, cycle ways.

We have 3 cats that are pretty independent and healthy and need feeding, and keeping indoors at night.

Basically we need someone who will keep the plants watered and the cats fed/watered for the 2-3 weeks that we are away. We are definetely going on the 5th but our return is not entirely known and depends on border closures, etc, so the 27/12/20 return is the latest we expect to be back, but it is possible we could be back a week before. Should that happen and this creates an issue for our sitter in terms of accommodation we are flexible in them staying in the house with us for a few days to help the transition as we have more than 1 bedroom.

The house has 3 bedrooms so you can choose which one you want.

Looking for mature singles or couple who are trust worthy, with references who can take care of things and keep our plants, hedges, fruit trees, watered during a normally very hot time of year.

We have a bee hive, however this is maintained by a local collective so you don't need to worry about this except leaving them alone.

Pets & farm animals

We have 3 cats. They just need to be fed, watered and put inside at night. During the day they can be outside.

House Tasks

Just water garden if it hasn’t rained in a few days. If it's very hot, like mid 30's to 40's then we would appreciate deep early morning (preferred) or later night watering to keep plants from getting burnt.
