Headline: Free 1-Month Melbourne Sit with Car + Velcro Catahoula!

Dates: 11th October 2026 to 11th-November 2026 Location: Altona Meadows Melbourne – close to public transport both train station and bus stops within walking distance.

.About the Sit:

We are looking for a caring, responsible house sitter for one month while we are away. Our home is conveniently located right near public transport, making it easy to get around Melbourne. As an extra bonus, we are happy to make our car available to the right sitter for local trips, grocery shopping.

About Our Dog: The star of the show is our wonderful Catahoula. True to the breed, he is incredibly loyal, intelligent, and very needy! He is a total "velcro dog" who craves human companionship, thrives on a routine, and sleeps in the bed with us at night.

Sitter Requirements: Because our dog needs a lot of attention, this sit is absolutely perfect for a remote worker (WFH), a writer, or a retired couple who will be home for the majority of the day.

We need someone who genuinely loves large, affectionate breeds and is completely comfortable sharing the bed with a furry companion.

If you love loyal working breeds, want a great base to explore Melbourne with public transport, and appreciate having access to a car, we would love to hear from you! Please let us know your experience with large or sensitive dogs. There are no restrictions on the house, but if you can mow a lawn, that would also be super handy.

About the Area

ALTONA MEADOWS Melbourne, Victoria
Suburb Insights
The morning rhythm in Altona Meadows begins with a quiet sense of space, ideal for your furry charge. Step out onto flat paths where the air often carries a hint of salt from nearby Port Phillip Bay. Later in the day, daily errands are straightforward. Central Square Shopping Centre caters to most needs, from groceries to a morning coffee, keeping routines simple for you and the pets. Bus routes connect the immediate area, linking to Altona and Laverton train stations should you venture further, though a car simplifies explorations of wider Melbourne or trips to Altona Beach. The extensive walking trails continue to be a draw, offering varied landscapes from suburban parks to the more rugged coastal edges. Evenings settle into a tranquil calm, a consistent backdrop for maintaining a pet's established routine. The absence of urban bustle means minimal disturbances, letting the home feel secure and peaceful. Understanding this unhurried pace, and leveraging the extensive, accessible green spaces, allows house sitters to easily integrate into the local rhythm, providing a comfortable, stable environment for their temporary companions.
