Winter House Sit in Yarra Valley (May to October, flexible dates) - NO PET CARE INVOLVED

This is a rare low-maintenance house sit with NO PETS TO CARE FOR, making it perfect for remote workers, writers, creatives, or anyone wanting a quiet base away from the city.

We’re seeking a reliable and responsible house sitter to enjoy an extended stay in our cosy 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom home in the beautiful town of Warburton in the heart of the Yarra Valley, Victoria. Available from May to October, this is a longer-term house sit from May through October, ideal for someone seeking a quiet nature-filled retreat over the winter months.

As this is a long term sit with very little required other than light upkeep and clear communication, we're asking that utilities (electricity, gas, water) and internet be covered by the sitter during our time away.

Modern, comfortable and ideally located, our home is walking distance to the Yarra River, the Warburton Rail Trail, mountain bike trails and an easy stroll into town for cafés, shops, and essentials. Enjoy the fresh mountain air and the quiet charm of village life.

Our home includes a beautiful mountain view
, a spacious bedroom with king bed, a modern fully equipped kitchen

, a full bathroom with shower + bath

, WiFi/internet

, ducted heating and cooling

, washing machine
, driveway parking
, and lush green space (front and backyard).

We’re particularly interested in a sitter who is reliable, responsible and trustworthy. We’re looking for someone who will treat the home with care, keep the house clean, be attentive to any issues that may arise, and be comfortable communicating with us while we're overseas. Bonus to someone who enjoys some light gardening (pruning vines, basic upkeep). We will have someone coming to mow the lawns monthly.

Overall, this is a straightforward sit suited to someone who values a calm space and takes pride in where they live. Best suited for a single person or couple who is detail-oriented, meticulously clean and easy to communicate with.

If this sounds like a good match, please reach out with a bit about yourself, your experience, and your availability. We’re keen to find someone who will genuinely enjoy and care for the space. Read more...
