Assignment Requirements

Hi there - I have a house on quarter of an acre in pretty Killarney - 20 minutes drive from Warwick on the Queensland border. A hour from Toowoomba and 50 mins to Stanthorpe. Two hours twenty from Brisbane.

I have a small dog, 10 and a cat, 16.

The house is easy to manage - not much gardening required. It is brick and has a reverse cycle air conditioner and a warming fire in the lounge.

Three bedroom, one bathroom lounge plus sitting room.

Winter in the Southern Downs is full of activities with Jumpers and Jazz Festival, the Killarney bonfire night and Killarney rodeo to name a few. The house backs onto the show ground so all the action is close at hand.

There are a number of national parks nearby as well.

About the Area

KILLARNEY Darling Downs, Queensland
Suburb Insights
Killarney reveals its character slowly, a rhythm dictated by the land and its people, not by urgency. Here, the day unfolds with a deliberate calm. Pet care fits seamlessly into this, with plenty of quiet country roads perfect for long, reflective dog walks where the only passing traffic might be a local wave or a grazing cow. Understanding this gentle pace is key to settling into the home, allowing you and any furry companions to truly relax into the surrounding tranquility. Local life often converges at the Killarney Co-op General Store, a practical hub for essentials and a place where names are known. Beyond the village centre, a short drive brings you to the majesty of Queen Mary Falls, offering shaded trails ideal for an afternoon outing if the homeowner permits; always check specific pet allowances for national park areas. Evenings here are distinctly dark, the starlight more prominent without city glow, providing a serene backdrop for a contented animal settling down for the night. Embracing this slower cadence is the essence of house sitting in Killarney. Your closest options for a broader selection of supplies or veterinary services are found in Warwick, a drive of around 30 minutes, so planning ahead is wise. This self-reliance fosters a deeper connection to the place, letting you experience the genuine warmth of a community where neighbours look out for each other and the simple beauty of the landscape takes precedence.
