Assignment Requirements

We are situated in the beautiful Yarra Valley. Our timber house is a three bedroom (1 king, 1 double & 2 singles) two storey house, with split system heating/cooling and fire places to suit the different climate changes. It is surrounded by beautiful bush land and there is the gorgeous Yarra River out the front. This is freshwater from mountains and is so relaxing to sit by, swim in (maybe not do much during the winter months) or float/kayak down . The birdlife will come up close and feed from the bird feeder on the front verandah.

The beautiful town of Warburton is only 5 mins down the road. It is a gorgeous town with many cafes, restaurants, galleries annd walking trails. Warburton Mountain Bike trails are now open and fantastic to ride if you are into MTB, there’s also a pump track and playground in the area. The larger town with a Woolworths etc is in Yarra Junction, 10mins drive away. We are also situated along the famous Lilydale-Warburton rail trail.

We have 3 bubbly and super friendly miniature dachshunds, 2 girls (4years old) and 1 boy (2 years old). They love lazing around, wrestling with each other or getting cuddles from us. They don’t require walks everyday but they wouldn’t hate it if you wanted to get out and about daily either.

We are looking for people that are happy to stay out a little bit from the hustle and bustle, who can appreciate the trees and wildlife but also has an understanding and love of dogs. People that will care for our animals and look after our home as if it was your own.

Suburb Insights
Millgrove offers house sitters a quiet Yarra Valley immersion, where the pace encourages connection with nature. Mornings here often begin with a walk along the Warburton Rail Trail, easily accessible and flat, ideal for exercising an energetic dog or simply enjoying the river views. This path provides a safe, car-free route for daily pet routines, leading you toward Warburton for a coffee or west towards Yarra Junction for local supplies. Weekends invite deeper exploration of the area's natural assets. A short drive will take you to the towering California Redwood Forest, a remarkably peaceful spot for an afternoon stroll, though some pet owners might prefer the open paths of the Rail Trail for their animals. The Yarra River winds nearby, presenting opportunities for tranquil riverside walks, a calming backdrop for your temporary home life. Settling into Millgrove means embracing a relaxed daily rhythm. Local errands are typically a quick trip to Warburton where essential shops and cafes cater to most needs. Returning to your temporary residence, the quiet environment ensures pets can relax while you enjoy the serene surroundings. This setting is less about bustling activity and more about appreciating the immediate natural environment surrounding your house-sitting assignment.
