Assignment Requirements

We are a middle aged couple who like to travel so we have a manypaws baby who needs some one to love her while we are away. She is a pomeranian chihuahua who has no idea she is a dog and she will love you to bits if you play with her, let her sit next to you on the couch and let her sleep in your bed. She is about the size of cat and very easy maintenance. She isn't a fan of being picked up, unless she's in the washing basket. She can occasionally can growlie if you try to make her do something she doesn't want to do but she isn't a biter. She is an independent lady who loves company, not cuddles.

She can manage going up our stairs but she can not come down them as she is so small and she can't get traction on them, so we ask that she is restricted to downstairs only through the day when no one is home. We have a board to block off the stairs. We have a doggie door so she can go outside as she needs.

Other than Pebble, we have five pot plants that need a water every week. We are 15 minutes from Brisbane CBD and 40 minutes from the Gold Coast and Surfer's Paradise and only one turn off from the M1 Motorway. Bus into Brisbane is a 8 minute walk. The local swimming pool is a five minute walk away. We are in a very central and handy location. Shopping Centres are a five minute walk.

As we are flying Standby, we ask our Sitter/s to be flexible if we dont get our desired flights. The extension or delay will only be one or two days. We don't expect this to happen but we never know.

About the Area

Rochedale South Brisbane, Queensland
Suburb Insights
Your mornings in Rochedale South typically begin with a quiet walk. Leash up your canine companions for a stroll along the tree-lined streets, perhaps heading towards Underwood Park. Its open spaces and designated off-leash areas offer ample room for exercise, allowing pets to expend energy before the day warms up. Cats will appreciate the peaceful home environment, settling into their routines after breakfast. The local pace encourages unhurried moments, giving you time to prepare their meals and ensure their comfort before you consider your own day. After the morning outing, the home becomes a tranquil base. Restock pet food or other essentials easily at Springwood Plaza, just a short drive away, where you'll also find various services if needed. The suburban quiet means less traffic noise, fostering a calm atmosphere for both you and any indoor pets during the day. Consider an afternoon walk around smaller local greenspaces like Paul Lacey Park if the pets require another stretch, or simply relax indoors with them during the hotter hours. Evenings here settle into a comfortable rhythm. Dinner preparations for your charges are straightforward, followed by their evening routines. For a change of scenery, a short drive opens up options for a quiet meal in Springwood, or perhaps grab ingredients from a local grocer to prepare at home. The area avoids the rush of central districts, letting you unwind with the pets, observing the night sounds. This residential pocket provides a gentle backdrop for dedicated pet care and a peaceful stay.
