We need a house sitter

Hunter Valley - Lower Hunter Valley

Tony

Spectacular views over Lake Macquarie and with very easy access to walking/bike path around the Lake and to Speers Point Park, voted one of the best parks in the country. This is a two storey home with quite a lot of steps, with a very low maintenance resort style back yard with automatic pool and spa. Our aging poodle cross dog Shadow is very friendly and will follow you everywhere. She gets quite distraught when left alone so we need sitters who will be at home most of the time. As we are often away for short times (2 night sits) as well as longer trips (4-6 weeks) ideally we would like to find sitters who live locally and who can be available for these short sits. You will have your own 'granny flat' which opens out onto the sunny resort style pool area, so we are quite comfortable if you need to overlap the dates a little. Sitters must be non smokers and most likely you will need your own transport as it is a long walk (just over 1km) to nearest supermarket although we have a number of coffee shops and a very nice pub/restaurant within easy walking distance. There is plenty of quiet street parking, room for a caravan or RV but we cannot always offer you off street garaging as our car will often be left in the garage, but there is a short carport which would cover most of a small car. Unfortunately we do not have bicycles. Plenty of room both inside and on the pool deck for exercise, yoga or just to sit and relax.

Tony and Mary Anne were terrific hosts, and Shadow absolutely gorgeous. All instructions were easy to follow, and the view fabulous! Thank you

This has been one of our favourite housesits❤️ Lots of reasons for that- Shadow is the most beautiful, loving, caring dog we have ever looked after. The house is very clean, organised, located, great views. Tony & Maryann are super lovely, kind & caring, generous & organised with great communication. Highly recommended, we didnt want to leave & will sure miss darling Shadow- beautiful girl❤️❤️

Loved this house sit. Great location, adorable dog, Shadow East to maintain house/ garden. Pool added bonus on the hot days. Cafes within walking distance, beautiful historic homes to admire on your walks. Great communication with home owners.

No rating Tony and Maryann are wonderful people. I had a great time looking after their beautiful house and loveable dog while enjoying the peaceful surrounds of Morpeth.

We had a fabulous stay in this comfortable and relaxing home, garden and pool. Shadow was adorable, easy to care for and great company. Tony and Maryann were friendly, helpful and quick to communicate. We hope our paths cross again sometime in the future.

This was a very easy and enjoyable house sit. We had a lovely room and a delightful pet to enjoy. Two minutes from a peaceful little town. We loved it. Tony and Maryanne are such a delightful couple, what more could you ask for.
