Assignment Requirements

We are looking for a bunny and cat lover to house sit our beloved pets in a cute weatherboard house, 7km to CBD, with train and shops within walking distance.

There's room in the driveway to park a caravan. The house isn't flashy but its comfy with a cosy King bed, bunk for kids and off-street parking.

Our litter-trained bunny lives under our bed and is super sweet. But rabbits can be fragile and temperamental, so as cuddly as he can be, we can't promise he won't ignore you and pee on the bed out of protest because we're away. Rabbits can also get sick very quickly so we need someone who is observant and willing to take him to the vet immediately if you notice he's not quite right. This boy of mine is so loved. I joke to my partner that I love the bunny more than him. He's cuddly and loves hanging out and loves pats.

Our cat is also the loveliest. He's an old stray rescue cat and spends most of his day sleeping on the couch. We have a gate in the hall to separate the bunny and cat and close the bunny in our room if we go out to keep him safe. We'd love someone who loves pets, preferably has had rabbits at some point and happy to hang at home a few hours each day to give the pets some love because they get pretty lonely. They both need to to bed fed twice a day and have their litter tray changed every 4-5 days.

Suburb Insights
Your mornings here will often begin with a stroll through Cruickshank Park, an easy walk from most West Footscray homes. The leafy paths along Stony Creek are ideal for canine companions, offering plenty of sniffing opportunities and space to stretch their legs before the day truly begins. This accessible greenery makes daily pet exercise straightforward, no long car trips needed. Beyond the park, the Stony Creek Trail links directly to the Maribyrnong River, opening up longer walks or bike rides if you feel like exploring further. Weekends invite a shift in pace. Consider a trip to the Footscray Market for fresh produce, an easy bus ride or walk away. This provides fresh ingredients for home-cooked meals after a morning spent outdoors. West Footscray maintains a quieter residential feel, making it easy to settle into a rhythm. Grab a coffee from a local spot on Barkly Street – Brother Nancy is popular – before settling in for some pet cuddles. If the weather permits, Williamstown's foreshore is a short train ride away, offering a different coastal perspective for an afternoon excursion, providing a change of scenery from your immediate surrounds.
