Assignment Requirements

To look after our 2 beautiful golden retrievers Brian who is 10 and Winnie who is 8. They love walking but slowing down a bit with age. They are very well behaved and a delight to walk. Love people and not bothered by other dogs and very happy having a coffee at one of our local coffee shops. Recommend Baby Black and Little Lucky.

Our home is in the central part of Bacchus Marsh 500 meters from the main street, close to the train station which offers a great vline service - 40 minutes from Melbourne one way and Ballarat the other. Geelong is a 45 minute drive. We live on 1.5 acres of an English style garden. There would not be too much to do in the garden over this time we are away as mostly dormant in winter.

Our home is a lovely 3/4 bedroom home newly renovated and extremely comfortable. Please see photo's.

We will be travelling to the UK and will be away for 11 weeks but are always contactable.

Bacchus Marsh has approx 20,000 residents but maintains a country charm whilst being close to Melbourne. It is know for it's beautiful Avenue of Honour, the longest stand of Elm Trees in the southern hemisphere and for it's market gardens including strawberry picking and fruit stores direct from the farmers.

We are close to State Parks including The Lerderderg and Werribee Gorge, well know walking trails.

Suburb Insights

Settling into Bacchus Marsh means embracing a rhythm that prioritizes routine, especially for a house sitter caring for pets. Mornings often begin with the soft light of the Lerderderg Valley, perfect for an unhurried walk. A stroll along the trails skirting Parwan Creek offers a gentle start, allowing dogs to sniff and explore without the rush of urban environments. Alternatively, the Bacchus Marsh Gorge provides a more invigorating trek, rewarding both two-legged and four-legged companions with natural beauty and quietude before the day fully awakens. Returning to a comfortable home, the pace remains relaxed. Picking up a coffee from a Grant Street cafe fits seamlessly into the morning, perhaps followed by a visit to the monthly Farmers' Market for fresh provisions. These local forays can easily integrate with pet care, ensuring consistent feeding times and comfortable breaks for your charges. The town’s orchard heritage encourages a slower, more deliberate engagement with food and surroundings, contributing to a calm household atmosphere. Afternoons here invite a quiet repose. Pets benefit from predictable downtime, perhaps napping in sunbeams while you attend to household duties or simply unwind with a book. For a change of scenery, a short local bus ride or the V/Line train from the station can offer a solo adventure to nearby towns, knowing the home is secure and pets are settled until your return. Evenings in this town are generally peaceful, allowing for a contented wind-down, mirroring the calm your companions will appreciate.
