Assignment Requirements

We have looking for someone (or a couple/family) to house sit and look after our dogs while we are away on an overseas holiday.

We have two 3 ½ year old German Short Haired Pointer X - sisters. They are very well behaved when around the house – and get very excited when out for a run or a walk. They do pull on their leads when walking – so you will need to be reasonably fit/strong. They do need a good long walk at a minimum each day – and depending on how things go, they also love a good run at the park chasing balls. One person can handle them – however, we believe that two people works best.

Our house is a lovely old Victorian two story place with 5 bedrooms, pool and relaxing outside area. Bus stop is right outside the house and local shops 20m up the road (IGA, butcher, chemist, grocer, post office etc.)

Ideally, we would like to have start your stay 2 - 3 days before we leave for our holidays, and maybe a trial run some time soon.

The garden is low maintenance (hardly anything), pool may need to be skimmed of leaves occasionally.

About the Area

Oatlands Sydney, New South Wales
Suburb Insights
Oatlands offers a serene, leafy retreat, ideal for house sitters seeking a calmer pace while caring for their temporary companions. Mornings begin with unhurried walks along quiet, tree-lined streets, perhaps passing established gardens on the way to Fred Spurway Reserve, where dogs can enjoy open space. The suburban hum remains gentle throughout the day, providing a tranquil backdrop for pet routines and home upkeep. Weekends invite exploration beyond the immediate neighbourhood. A short drive brings you to Lake Parramatta Reserve, offering proper bushwalking trails for more adventurous pets and sitters. For a quieter outing, The Oatlands Pantry provides a convenient spot for a morning coffee, easily integrated into a pet-sitting schedule. Nearby Parramatta offers broader weekend choices, including a bustling farmers market for fresh produce. Returning to your temporary home, the quiet evenings allow for peaceful reflection, perhaps a stroll under the streetlights before settling in with your charges. The area’s generous green spaces and well-maintained pathways make daily pet care a pleasure, blending seamlessly with the unhurried rhythm of Oatlands life. Access to major roads keeps larger amenities within reach without sacrificing the local tranquility.
