Assignment Requirements

Dear House sitter, due to family commitments overseas we are due to travel out to South America in June this year.

Our home is set in a beautiful rural area with 360 degree panoramic views. We share our home with a wee menagerie. It consists of 6 horses, four goats, two dogs, five cats, twelve geese and 21 hens, roosters and ducks. There is also a varied wildlife with koalas, possums, kangaroos and countless native and water birds sharing and visiting this space, we've had pelicans landing in our dam. Being foster/rescue tragics, we have a couple of beasties that need extra care. Two of our horses are in their 30's and we have Rosie (our much loved fluffy grey cat) aged 25years young. All of them are much loved and rather spoiled. you could spend whole days watching the antics this lot get up to, it is very entertaining. the domestic birds need to be locked up at sunset and let out at sun up. This is to avoid feeding foxes. The cats also stay indoors at night to avoid loss of wildlife.

We will be here for the first days to get you up to speed with the running of our home.

The local area is beautiful and offers much to do and see, from good walking trails, lookouts, lakes and cosy places to have a coffee. Sunsets are AMAZING, better still watched with a glass of wine. As it will be the start of winter you could also stay indoors by the fireplace with many beasties happy to cuddle.

There is much more to enjoy. Please contact us. Cheers Alicia and Grayden

P.S - Having horse sense beneficial

About the Area

Kalbar West Moreton, Queensland
Suburb Insights
Kalbar operates on a slower rhythm, offering a quiet backdrop for your house-sitting tenure. Morning constitutionals with your animal companions will follow quiet country roads, offering wide vistas of the Scenic Rim, a gentle way to start the day for both you and your charges. The local park, situated at the Kalbar Showgrounds, provides a generous open space for pets to stretch their legs, often a casual meeting point for local dog owners, integrating into your daily routine. Eating out often centres around the local bakery, a true community hub where the aroma of fresh bread accompanies morning coffees and conversation. For an evening meal, the historic Kalbar Hotel serves hearty fare in a relaxed setting, an option should pet responsibilities allow a brief escape. Keep watch for seasonal roadside stalls or occasional local markets showcasing regional produce, offering fresh ingredients for your meals. These low-key outings fit seamlessly around pet feeding schedules. Beyond the immediate village, the undulating farmlands of the Scenic Rim invite unhurried drives, perhaps to the historic Kalbar School of Arts Hall, a quiet testament to the area’s past. Evenings here are distinctly serene, devoid of urban clamour, perfect for star-gazing or quiet reflection. This pervasive calm benefits any pets under your care, providing an undisturbed environment that simplifies their routine, making your stay genuinely peaceful.
