Assignment Requirements

We require someone to look after our two senior, but not 'old' dogs for the time we are away. The dogs are well kept, no fleas and up to date on vet care. Our girls sleep indoors on their couch or beds. There are two other lounge chairs for people, pet free, usually. The girls can be left for up to 4 hours or more at a time. They are used to being fed around 7 am and 3pm. They don't need walked, as we are on acreage, but they love it when you hang around a bit outside with them.

Our home is a two bedroom cabin style house in the hills. This situation would be fine for a couple or single with a child as there are two bedrooms. The child would need to be at least 12 yrs old possibly and used to dogs as one of the girl is not so child friendly.

Our home has an outdoor spa/hot tub, wood burning fire box, and reverse cycle a/c. We live in a wine region and winter tourism wonderland. https://granitebeltwinecountry.com.au/

Suburb Insights
Glen Aplin offers a distinct, unhurried pace, with days unfolding quietly amidst orchards and vineyards. Here, house sitters quickly notice the neighbourly waves from passing vehicles, a clear sign of the area’s relaxed, connected character. Settling into a temporary home feels natural in this calm atmosphere, allowing for a smooth transition into daily life. For managing pet routines, the numerous quiet country roads crisscrossing the landscape become ideal for dog walks. Long, unhurried strolls offer ample fresh air and open space, far removed from bustling traffic. Preparing meals becomes a pleasure too; nearby farm gates and seasonal markets around Stanthorpe provide abundant local produce, perfect for stocking your temporary kitchen with fresh ingredients. Evenings bring clear, star-filled skies and the gentle sounds of the countryside. Embracing this serene environment is central to caring for a home in Glen Aplin. Local trails, just a short drive away, offer further opportunities for exploration, easily fitting into a pet’s exercise schedule while you immerse yourself in the region’s natural beauty and genuine community feel.
