Comfortable house in upper mountains close to shops, cafes and Echo Point. We have an 8 yr old great dane and a 12 yr old scaredy cat. They need someone to look after them while we are away. They don't share any time together. Horrie doesn't realise he is a dog so he likes all the creature comforts of our home. Baddie is an aloof cat who enjoys some quiet time in the evening. We are looking for someone who is comfortable with large dogs as H is sometimes boisterous. He enjoys a walk in the neighborhood daily.
The grass may need mowing while we are away and apart from the usual household chores our home is easycare. Early summer in the Blue Mountains is usually delightful

tocumwal, 2714
Type of House: House
Required From: flexible
Period Required: 7-10 days
We live in tocumwal a small town on the murray border of NSW and VIC. Its a small town well known for its golf course..
Our house is a 5 bedroom- which we are slowly renovating- basically have the bathroom left to do.. the garden is a pretty simple and may need one watering while we are away.
we are flexible when to go away- we would just love a holiday sometime. But not in december- as i work from home in a salon- and december is busy.
The biggest issue here is that i have a small cattery from home. (Approx 7 cats and at times litters of kittens)- Who live inside and outside... So you will need to love cats- they are burmese- very affectionate cats... you would need to feed morning and night and also keep cat litters clean daily. It doesnt take long to do at all.
We also have one dog- an old boxer ... who is no trouble at all- and sleeps outside- but does come inside occasionally while we watch tv.
more details or negotiations can be obtained from us if you need....

Braidwood, 2622
Type of House: House
Required From: 6th - 19th October 2010
Period Required: 2 weeks (approx)
hello - I have 3 x dogs (all small, desexed and about 7-8 years old - 1 x male and 2 x females) They have chosen me at different times over the years when they needed a home and are my close companions.
However I need a holiday and wish to attend the Ubud Writers Festival plus wander through the Balinese mountains from 6th - 19th October 2010.
I need a kind, caring, tidy and clean person or couple who can love and look after my pups and my little house while I am away. I have lots of books, DVDs etc for holiday mode and obviously everything else one would wish to have in ones home for comfortable living conditions.
Depending on the weather and as the garden is heavily mulched
there may only be a need for a weekly watering of the large potplants on the verandah. I have a few indoor plants as well. I would expect the house to be left at the end of the time in the same condition I leave it on my departure - otherwise it would be lovely for the housesitter to feel at home and enjoy their couple of weeks in Braidwood NSW.
The dogs love to be walked of course but then they have a large yard and are ok with one long walk a week out in the paddocks somewhere or on leads around the town.
I like them to sleep inside at night as they are very settled and have their own beds in the living area. I leave them outside during the daytime when i am at work - they have kennels on the verandah in case of inclement weather.
www.visitbraidwood.com.au gives you information on the village. I live in the middle of the village about 3-4 minutes or less walk to the centre of the main street facilities and cafes, the golf course, the IGA etc.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Period Required: 2 weeks
We are looking for someone (or a couple) who love animals to look after our home and pets while we are on holidays.We have a 4 bedroom home with Foxtel, pool, spa, and sauna in a quiet suburb.
We are within walking distance of local shops and restaurants and 10 minutes from the beach and a major shopping centre.
Most important to us is to have someone care for our pets. We have 2 cats: a 16 year old female (Puss Puss) and a nearly deaf 14 year old male (Henry). We also have a male Great Dane, Othello, who we adopted from the RSPCA. All are indoor pets - Othello is a big boy, but a sook, a super size lap dog who loves to be cuddled and to play with his ball and his plastic bone. He doesn't need much exercise, just lots of company, so we would prefer a housesitter that can be home at least part of the day.
