We need a house sitter

Northern - Cairns

Kirsten

We DO NOT have a vehicle available for use.

Our departure is Thursday 11/7/24 approx 7.00 am but we would prefer someone to be here the night before; 10th July (pizzas and a little red wine discussion on the back entertainment area). We return from Sunshine Coast Monday 15/7/24 approx 6.30 pm (Qantas flights permitting with communication regarding any delays and therefore a longer stay at the house preferred).

It is not necessary that you be here for our return, however we would prefer that our pets have someone here for most of the day to deal with any issues that may occur and also instill a well being with our little fellas.

We have a fairly extensive house book with white goods and kitchenware manuals attached, so it is ok for someone who reads a lot to arrive the day we leave.

We would prefer to meet with you prior to accepting the housesit, however we can also do a FaceTime/zoom/other thingys that are about at the time to enable suitable communication.

Our four bedroom home in Clifton Beach only has one bedroom available for sitters. The house is on a one acre fully fenced property and has a swimming pool. There will be minimal pool care required. We are looking for a couple to house sit and look after ball loving Megsie (not too much - arthritis); Billie, our Maltipoo (apparently), feisty and gentle; fussy and thoughtful Jimmy and wild, aloof and forever hungry, Princess.

Our home offers the right couple the opportunity to stay in a resort like accomodation with minimal animal care and very little garden care.

We would prefer a more experienced couple who are familiar and comfortable with the tropical cyclone conditions and aware of our wildlife, the beauty and the beast.

The hosts Kirsten and Les are lovely people - easy going, hospitable and kind. Their home is exceptionally comfortable and easy to maintain. The location is 5 star, as it's on acreage and in a very peaceful part of Clifton Beach. I cared for 2 cats and 1 puppy (4 mths). The cats have a well established routine which is both simple, easy to follow and hassle free. As for the puppy, we had such fun playing and exploring. Especially the few excursions we went on together by car. It was a pleasure ... MORE

We have just finished sitting for Kirsten and Les. It has been an absolute pleasure. Their pets, Jimmy and Princess, two cats and Billie and Megsie the dogs, are easy care and enjoyable to interactive with, The home is lovely, and the garden is just beautiful. Lovely pool for the warmer months. Kirsten and Les were easy to communicate with and responded to us at any time we had a question. The location is 5 minutes to beautiful Palm Cove, I would sit for Kirsten and Les at anytime in the future!

Hi Kirsten and Les, what an absolute pleasure it was to look after your gorgeous home, and your precious fur babies, we felt we were on a truly special holiday. For any house sitters looking to sit here you will just love it, very affectionate fur bubbies, and Meggsie just loves to play catch with her ball, not so much chase due to her arthritis. Thanks again Kirsten and Les, are a lovely easy going couple, very well organised, and it was a breeze for handover. Take care, hope we meet again ... MORE
