Yeronga, Queensland

Hello! We are looking for a pet & house sitter who would be happy to look after our kelpie-cross dog, 6 chickens, and our pond fish. Our dog is a 4 year old female - ideally someone with experience with working dogs would be great as she acts very 'kelpie'. She usually has 1-2 hours of exercise each morning and then is happy to relax for the rest of the day. Someone who can spend most of the time at home would also be great as she loves having company. She is fine to be left at home for 3-4 hours as long as she is tired. Our chickens are very low maintenance, mostly making sure they have food and clean water and collecting eggs. The fish are super low maintenance. Just some food every couple of days. We also have some indoor house plants and outdoor pots that will need watering. Our place is located very close to a couple of cafes, a bus stop to the city is right outside, and it is about 10min walk to the train station. It is walking distance to Yeronga Village shops (chemist, bakery, bottle shop etc) and a very short drive to Fairfield Gardens (Coles, Aldi, etc). The area itself is very nice for walking, there is a lot of green space and some beautiful walks along the river. The house is an older raised house with wooden floors, nothing fancy but it is light and airy, we have a bath tub and separate shower, there is a nice desk for working and the location is super convenient. The kitchen has pretty much every implement you could need, and a dishwasher. There is a downstairs laundry with a laundry tub and washing machine. Hills Hoist in the backyard. The TV has ABC Iview and there is a dvd player. This house sit would be perfect for someone who works from home, and likes to get out and about once or twice a day with an active dog. Let me know if you have any questions! Read more...
