Hi, we are Dena and Wayne Jordan, retired, in our late 60s. We will be going on a cruise in September and are looking for mature, non-smoking sitter(s) to look after our 20 year old grey tabby Elwood.
Located in a quiet cul de sac in the Lockyer Valley 75 Ks west of Brisbane and 60 Ks east of Toowoomba (flood proof).
Woolworths shopping centre, medical centre, University of Queensland Gatton, fast food outlets and pub within 10 minute drive.
The house is a single storey western red cedar house on a partially cleared 2 acre bush block with lots of trees, and wildlife such as wallabies, lorikeets, kookaburras, a peacock may be seen (and heard) depending on the season.
The house is spacious and has 2 bedrooms, a modern kitchen and bathroom, mainly timber floors and air conditioning throughout. Large digital TV and home entertainment system, free wifi, use of PC if required.
There is room for a caravan. There is no public transport at the door, but coaches run from Brisbane and Toowoomba to the Warrego Highway which is 10 minutes drive from the house. There are local taxi services.
Pets & farm animals
Elwood is deaf, very vocal, quite a character, and he loves lots of cuddles. He needs to be given a tablet twice a day.
He gets very anxious if left alone for long periods, so the sitter will need to be around early mornings, late afternoons and overnight to feed and cuddle him.
He is an early riser.
Sitters will need to be true cat-lovers, well attuned to feline whims and eccentricities.
House Tasks
To feed and cuddle Elwood
To clean up after him and give medication twice daily
To collect the mail and water a few plants
