About

Hi, I'm looking for a caring housesitter(s) to look after our 4 bedroom family home while we are away. We have a playful dog, a cuddly cat and 2 funny chickens to care for on a 1/4 acre block. There are fruit trees and a veggie patch, but won't need much work done during winter. We are owner builders, so our cottage house is currently getting a facelift - some works haven’t been fully completed. Our wood heater and A/C unit is keeping the house cosy over winter. Located next to a nature reserve in a small country town, and only a quick drive from stunning coast lines and sandy beaches. You will find great walking/bike tracks as well as good shopping facilities and amazing local food, wine and coffee . Explore Wilson’s Prom and Philip Island while you’re in the area…
