Assignment Requirements

Primary responsibility is to care for our 16 year old dog Kosmo (West Highland White Terrier X Toy poodle. Watering the vegetable garden and fruit trees also appreciated if no rainfall occurs.

Kosmo is in fairly good health for his age but has failing eyesight and weak muscles in lower back and hind legs. He still enjoys a walk around the block once or twice per day, and likes to have human company though he is not a lap dog. He sleeps inside and needs to be able to get outside during the night for wee &/or poo so we leave the back screen door open for him and a light on so he can find his way outside to the securely fenced backyard. He spends most of the day asleep in one of his beds (outdoor patio, lounge cushion, bedroom sheepskin) so he is pretty low maintenance. The only time he barks is when he smells tasty human food and thinks he has a chance of sharing it, & inevitably he does get his share.

Kosmo is a treasured member of our family so we would like a sitter who is understanding of the needs of an ageing dog. We will also require a sitter for a week in mid November with dates to be confirmed this month.

We look forward to hearing from interested house sitters

About the Area

Wurtulla Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Suburb Insights
Wurtulla mornings arrive with the consistent murmur of the Pacific, setting a gentle rhythm for daily life. Many residents begin their day with dog walks along the wide expanse of Kawana Beach, where your assigned canine companion will likely enjoy the long sandy stretches. The network of canal-side pathways offers a quieter, shaded alternative for morning strolls or easy bike rides, ensuring pets receive their routine exercise. Afterwards, a quick stop at a local cafe, like The Pocket Espresso Bar, provides a moment of calm before the day truly begins. The unhurried pace here extends into weekends, offering ample opportunity for exploration. Consider a paddle on Currimundi Lake just a few minutes south, or head north to Point Cartwright for elevated ocean views and a refreshing walk. Sunday mornings often feature the Kawana Waters Farmers Market, a perfect spot to source local produce and artisanal goods, integrating seamlessly into your household routine. This coastal haven allows for a deep breath, encouraging you to immerse yourself in its natural surroundings while providing diligent care for the home and its animal occupants.
