About

Our home is in suburban Kambah (south Canberra), where we have two cats (Stevie, Minion), 4 bantam chickens (Wiggles, Wobbles, Fluffles and Feathers) and medium sized fruit and vegetable garden. The house is a 3 bedroom, split level place with aircon and evaporative cooling, and the garden features a moderate sized veggie garden (with watering system) and a variety of fruit trees and native trees and shrubs. It’s a little chaotic but comes with seasonal fruit and vegetables (and eggs from the chickens). The property is a 5 minute drive from local shops, a 20-25 minute drive from the city centre and is located on the urban fringe with pleasant walking trails with stunning mountain views right nearby.

Our cats are both older (15, 12) and for the most part low maintenance, and the chickens require minimal care. We’re looking for a house sitter who is experienced with cats, and is happy to administer some medications to one of our cats who has had some recent health problems.
